"Anybody but the Patriots" mentality

[InRodWeRust]

It's the offseason and it's slow so I thought I'd share my story.

So I was at the Atlanta airport a few months ago and I saw this guy with this jacket and I had to get a picture of it.

How mentally distraught do you have to be to dedicate an article of clothing to hating something I live out in Ohio and I saw a bumper sticker that also said "Anybody but the Patriots" with a "Go Colts!" logo on it. I google "Anybody but the Patriots" and there are tons of pictures and merchandise and a couple of youtube videos.




Go ahead and google, "Anybody but the <insert any other NFL team here>" Do any other teams have this kind of jealously? . . . . Nope.

Feels good to be a Pats fan

They hate us cuz they ain't us. Jealousy and hate hurt many people.

 

[PatsWSB47]

I'd tell em, gee I guess this just ain't your 2 decades.

Ehn. Of all the anti-Pats stands to take, "Anyone but NE" is the most logical and reasonable one. Can't really blame any non-NE football fan for holding it.

I think it’s kind of funny...definitely beats the tin foil hat crowd that got their Reynolds Wrap shipped directly from the NYJFL headquarters.

 

[Kontradiction]

If it wasn’t the Pats and some other team, we would hate them too. It’s very understandable. Every team in the league has gotten their asses kicked by Belichick and Brady at some time.

I'm sick of Golden State and I barely watch the NBA. And they're like, only on phase 1 of the trademark 17+ year domination plan.

So I can only imagine a diehard NFL fan who isn't also a Pat's fan must be miserable.

We lived this in NE vs the NYY. More prior to 2004, but there is still some of it in my bones.

Hard to believe prior to 2001 the Pats weren't much above the Browns.

Is that Bon Jovi?!

Is that Bon Jovi?!

Nahhh. Looks more like Rod Stewart.

 

[holyredeemer]

Nahhh. Looks more like Rod Stewart.

And that girl over his left shoulder looks like she is jammin’! What’s her 40? Did you happen to know if she displayed cat like quickness? CAN she get to the QB? Damn, that is one incredible picture. So much going on.

I can still remember feeling "anyone but the Cowboys," and that lasted all of 4 years. I doubt I would warm up to them if that had gone on for 17 years.

 

[The Brandon Five]

That jacket is a little incoherent. He's a Masshole who hates the hometown team?

No, hes calling us massholes, been called much worse.

 

[Ivan]

Don’t blame them one bit. I would feel the same if I weren’t a Patriots fan.

 

[jah]

I can tell some of you aren't from Massachusetts because you haven't seen people wearing that corny ass "I support 2 teams: the RED SOX and WHOEVER IS PLAYING THE YANKEES" shirt.

OK obviously, the major problem with this thing is that it has our beloved real logo on it, which even opponents like...

The stupid flying elvis is plastered everywhere on the planet, but didn't make it on to this jacket?

This is what is wrong with America

It's kind of a compliment

It did, from 1966-1983. Nope, never warmed up to them
