Dan Wetzel:This is what it feels like to be on the wrong side of a Tom Brady comeback

“My dad always used to tell me when I was a young boy, when you got ’em down, you break their [expletive] neck,” Edelman said, leading to a silent response. “That’s what he used to tell me. I was like 12. I was like, Dad, that’s kind of … that’s a lot. It’s true. That’s why I am the way I am though.”

We are Patiots fans do talk about how silly it is that so many fans HATE Brady so much (more than actual criminals even). But if I was on the other end of it seeing him do this to my team over and over again I probably wouldn't be his biggest fan either to be honest.

Agree. Dating myself here, but I was a kid in Philadelphia during the Landry/Staubach era and all those great teams. "Hate" is too strong a word for anything to do with what is still "just a game," but let's just say that I had an "intense dislike" of those guys, even though they lost three of the five Super Bowls they reached. I probably felt the same way about Landry's ****ing hat as the rest of the League today feels about Belichick's Hoodie.

The only team's fans I'm pretty sure will be pulling for the Pats in two weeks are the Redskins'. A few Giants' fans might be pulling for the Pats because they'll want to be able to say they're still the only team who could beat BB and TB in an SB...but probably not many. Otherwise it's just the way we like it: "EVERYBODY against us."

EDIT: somehow replied to myself. don't know how that happened...anyway...chalk it up to "Excessive Celebration"
