Super Bowl LI .. PRACTICE news & misc

If true...wow.

If true...wow.

Hopefully that means no 3am fire alarms in the Pats hotel

 

[mosi]

Wow. I heard the Drive for 5 bus went to Atlanta and got no reaction. Nothing. In New York, Baltimore, and other cities, boos. Nothing at all in Atlanta.

 

[ANGR89]

If true...wow.

Wow that's actually kind of sad, your team finally makes it back to the superbowl and this is how their fans react. Not that I'm complaining I love hearing more Patriots fans but I would imagine is a little bit of a bummer to falcons players.

Georgia is all about the Dawgs. Falcons are nowhere.

In terms of opposing fan reactions? Because the vids that the Pats have put out of them going to the different cities have been Pats fans. But I get what you mean...folks are just plumb tired of watching the Pats win all the time. I say, too dann bad.

Just look at the game thread for national championship game. Everyone here was rooting for clemson.

Hoping Patriot fans heavily outnumber them on Sunday too.

Absolutely. No one likes teams who, for whatever reason, both real and imagined, seem "arrogant" and "are always in the playoffs".

Like take Tom Brady.

He's everything you (general you, not you) aren't...and had to work hard to get it. Guys like Peyton Manning and Aaron Rodgers try very hard to make you think they're just like you. They endorse State Farm, Buick, Nationwide etc.

Tom Brady makes you uncomfortable with yourself. He's never tried to convince us that he is just like us. He wears Tom Ford and Uggs footwear. He sleeps on expensive mattresses. He wears $300 pajamas. He has a ridiculously gorgeous supermodel wife. He's got three adorable kids. Tom is VERY selective about what he puts his brand on. Everyone knows he was the sixth round pick out of Michigan and came from a nothing special family because ESPN, Fox Sports etc have told the story ad nauseum. Brady lives life at another level and doesn't apologize for it, but neither is he arrogant about it. He reminds us all of what we could've been but we made different choices and didn't become that. Thus the hate.

The haters could care less about the hard work. They think he won life's lottery.

Jonas Gray did that all in one game! Lol

They are dumb as hell if they think that without doing any type of check on that claim. But again, these are haters we're talking about. Not exactly expecting rational thinkers.

Today is a walk-through.

Remember... 2 years ago in the walk-through is when the O added the Edelman play that ended up being the game-winning TD!

 

[VrabelMayeWin]

Woo hoo.

 

[AtomicDawg]

Woo hoo.

Thank God. He hasn't really been down as far as talking on his Twitter. Means he's going to tough it out.

It could make for an interesting scenario. If the noise effects the Falcons on offense, I wonder if they have practiced silent counts?

Was it John Fox who admitted he didn't realize the SB would be so noisy?

 

[102 Pat]

I believe that was the issue that led to that opening safety, which gives me a reason to post one of the best gif's of all time...





And here's a bonus for everybody....
