Our turn: Deadspin ranks on Pats, fans

[Uncle Rico]

They do this every year for every team. Now it's the Pats' (and our) turn.

Why Your Team Sucks 2013: New England Patriots

Not finding a whole lot of bits I can quote here — family site, you know — so you have to find your own. Not for the thinner skinned (especially on the subject of our former tight end.)

An edited take on us fans:

You people have won the Worst Fans on the ___ Planet title belt for 30 years in a row. You're horrible when you win, and you're especially horrible when you lose—i.e., when you get to drive more nails into your wrists and drag your stupid crosses from WEEI to WBZ and back again. Even in good times, you ___s show off your losses like a kindergartener showing off a booboo. THIS IS THE SKINNED KNUCKLE I GAWT WHEN TYREE MADE THAT LUCKY CATCH! SOME SCAHHHHHS NEVAH HEAL! You have three Super Bowl titles and yet you will invariably find a way to (be-yatch) about the ones you didn't (and shouldn't) have won. You will simultaneously wax nostalgic for the old days and curse them in equal measure. You will complain about Belichick losing his touch while simultaneously lording his genius over opposing fans. ... You are whiny, sniveling, self-absorbed, two-faced posers who eat your young. All of you. I ___ing hate the Patriots and my favorite day of every year is the day they get knocked out of the playoffs.

I don't know, I think the writer's on to us ...

Deadspin Why Your Team Sucks 2013: Patriots

Why Your Team Sucks 2013- Patriots @Deadspin

No one here is going to think this is funny, because no one here has a sense of humor. But before everyone here gets their panties in a bunch:

1. They do this for every team. Go read the Jets from last week if you need a cheer-up.
2. It's funny. Drew Margary is funny.
3. In an odd way he actually defends the Pats at point, like crushing Ron Borges, or liking Brady, or the slew of fan letters.

Anyways, take it or leave it kids.

Hey -- I'm a New England fan. I had to. :rocker:

ANd yeah, I thought it was pretty funny.

 

[PatsSox363804]

Generalities like that are why every time I say "eh can't win them all" every Saints fan I know looks at me like I'm some form of alien Pats fan.

 

[Patriot Missile]

Articulate and well written. Lot of half truth's that could very possibly be true.

I hope one day my kids can attend that writers school of grammar. I've been saving up.

Re: Deadspin Why Your Team Sucks 2013: Patriots

See look, more people with no sense of humor.

The only thing I'd disagree about is that obviously this isn't an aging team. But let's let the season unfold.

Re: Deadspin Why Your Team Sucks 2013: Patriots

The guy is no Bill Barnwell but has flashes of humor. I guess the F bombs are de rigur as "humor" these days. Didn't mind the humorous (yet painful) references like the Ravens stomping of us in our own backyard at all. Those put downs were quite well done.

C+/B- for flashes of good lines

I'm British, we're born with the greatest sense of humour ever. Ergo, that article doesn't apply to me - and it's hilarious

Now this is funny


"France could field 11 guys tomorrow that would defend a 3rd down passing situation better than the Patriots."

 

[Fixit]

My hometown's a "charmless New England ****hole." Sweet! :rocker:

The only thing I have a problem with is putting J.R. Redmond on the worst list. One play in the 2001 SB makes that guy awesome for life.

 

[letekro]

Pretty funny. Love the "out of date narcotics" line.

LMAO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rocker:

I thought it was spot on and hilarious. And , judging from the reponses so far in here, so did just about everybody else.

BTW, who f*%k are you?

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

Dunno why this was moved. It's still pre-season and this was one of the better thread topics

Whoops! Just merged - my bad!

 

[BSR]

I thought it was pretty good. If people think we are insufferable now, just imagine if the Pats had gone 19-0.

 

[PatsDeb]

I found it pretty funny, but not surprisingly, the Jets one was even funnier!

 

[juny]

He was pretty rough on the Ravens (for comparison).

You know there is some truth in his take on the Pats fans. Especially those goobers who actually wanted Cassell.

 

[Uncle Rico]

let's face it, the Jets will always be funnier.
