Bill Simmons: Patriots saying Eff-You to the League

[sieglo]

This article bums me out because it's

a) patently wrong, the Pats had little choice but run that play against the Cowboys -- a true eff-you would have been Brady to Moss

b) purely intended to add fuel to the fire and increase the media ****storm that surrounds this team, which is too bad because it is potentially a truly great team we are watching, and the media is making everyone hate them.

Personally, I don't understand how you can hate the Pats. Belichick is grumpy and doesn't communicate, but it's not like the rest of the team is biting people's ears off. Really too bad.

Hey NFL-

" EFF YOU "​

Heeeeeeeey, that does feel kinda good :singing:

My sentiments EXACTLY!!!

 

[Wildo7]

It pretty much sums up exactly how I feel. I think we all got sick of dealing with all the whining, loser, opportunistic hater fans from god awful teams a long time ago. I don't even want to talk sh.it to them anymore. I just want the Pats to embarrass the hell out of them week in and week out. And I don't want them to run up the score on the Rats. I want BB to hold a press conference before the Rats game and say: "The score in this game will be 38-0. It is what it is." Then I want them to go out and make the score 38-0 by the 4th quarter. Then I want Brady to continuosly drive the ball down to the Rats 1-yard line stand in the shotgun and underhand lob the football 4 times to Mangina on the sideline until it's a turnover on downs. I wants them to do this at least 3 times before the game is over and the score remains 38-0. That is the hatred I have for the Rats, and the majority of the rest of this league of *****ing, no good, selfish, cry baby clowns. EFF YOU.

Gosh, I love the venom. That's right ! EFF the media, EFF the COLTS, EFF Goodell, EFF the AFC East, EFF the NFC, EFF everyone we play this year, and most off all ... a BIG EFF YOU and your RATS team, MANGINA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear NFL:

EFF YOU!

Signed,

NE Patriots

What a great rally cry.

Start printing the t-shirts.

Anyone remember "Don't talk to me"? I have a t-shirt from 2001 that said that but I think this one could be a better seller.

This league is a long way from the gentlemens way of doing things. I think if you can't play for the full 60 minutes cause you might hurt someones feelings, then the NFL should create another rule to say ok there is x amount of time left on the clock and the losing team can opt to concede the game right there or we continue to play football. What is this crap about not playing the full time. This is a violent sport, and we are worried about hurting someones feelings... HAHAHA.....What a joke. If I was on the losing team I would expect the winning team to keep playing until the game is over. If you don't like the humiliation, then make your team better or play another sport.

 

[lostjumper]

I have to say, this really article truly reflects my feelings right now. Every time we destroy another team, I envision Peter King swearing under his breath wishing we could lose so he can say..."See, it was the camera's that allowed them to win before."

Go eff yourself PK!

 

[Wildo7]

It could be the next Cowboy Up or Humblie Pie! We're the Pats Eff You. Seriously that's sweet. I mean since when do the losing team fans reserve the right to talk sh.it? it's unbelievable. I was actually reading an ESPN board recently and some Chargers fan wrote, "atleast the Chargers have the b.alls to talk sh.it before the game, the Pats win and then talk sh.it, how classless!" I mean what kind of logic is that? It's classy to run your mouth and then get destroyed, then continue when the other team makes you eat crow. I really can't express the hatred I feel for almost every other team in the league right now and about 80% of football fans who can't appreciate greatness when they see it and can't take losing like Boston/New England fans did for so many years. This article just validated my exact sentiments to people that talk sh.it to classy teams both before and after they get demolished. Eff you.

Seriously someone make shirts of Pat Patriot urinating on a RATS fan while flipping the bird that says "WE'RE THE PATS. EFF YOU." I'd buy one.

I'd like to sign up also. I want mine to say

EFF YOU!​

 

[Wildo7]

but do we mean to put "EFF YOU" on the shirt or "f*** You" because IMHO, "eff" is sorta lame. What we could do is have the U-C-K be Lombardi trophies after the F or asterisks just to rub everyone's face in it.

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

Just use Fitzy's 'GFY'
That'd be wicked pissah

we are so awfull...

 

[Disco Volante]

I love Bill Simmons but I don't see how ANY of those examples show us saying "Eff you"

Week 1 at New York Jets (38-14): 1-yard TD by Heath Evans, 1:58 left.
You can't run the clock down...

Week 2 vs. San Diego (38-14): 3-yard TD by Sammy Morris, 3:18 left.
You can't run the clock down...

Week 3 vs. Buffalo (38-7): 45-yard TD catch by Randy Moss, 10:22 left.
There's TEN GOD DAMN MINUTES LEFT still!

Week 4 at Cincy (34-17): 14-yard TD catch by Randy Moss, 3:18 left.
Two score game still, you have to. Plus once again, you can't kneel it...

Week 5 vs. Cleveland (34-17): 15-yard fumble return TD by Randall Gay, 0:42 left.
(Important note: This came one play after the Pats failed to convert the "Eff You TD" on fourth-and-goal from Cleveland's 4 when Brady just missed Kyle Brady in the end zone.)
Natural instinct to run to the end zone. And of course they went for it on 4th down, they couldn't run the clock down and kicking the FG would be considered a "Eff you" move.

Week 6 vs. Dallas (48-27): 1-yard TD run by Kyle Eckles, 0:19 left.
You can't run the clock down. Wade's fault anyways for calling the TO.

In none of those situations did we go out of our way to score, we did the right thing each time.

I like it. We could even make posters and hand them out at games, it'd be cool to see those in the background on tv:rocker:

Perhaps, but I like the F*** YOU story better . And I love how opposing fans cry "Pats are classles!!!" after each game. :rocker:

No mercy this year.

Hey we might even win the Superbowl by more than 3 points.

 

[Crazyeechrispats1]

Yo porco that had me rolling out my seat man that was funny and yes I love being hated.
The thing I love the most is how we punish teams on the field then act like it was such a close game at the press conference that has to piss them off more.

One time i'd love to see them slip up once like Rodney saying oh yeah Cleo can hurt you in alot of ways, then bursts out in laughter and goes i'm sorry can we roll this again.
Cleo can "snickers" ok one more time serious i'm good now guys.
