What I like about Pats Fans

[RecoveringCowboy]

They absolutely won't play the helpless victim when the owner makes a bad decision.

To elaborate: I endured an owner that made bad decision after bad decision for a quarter century. Had to get in the news most every day, make announcements at 5pm. After years of saying my old team needs a fan rebellion, some blind homers suggested I leave so I did....problem with these guys are they have bathed in his manure so long, they will support and enable him even when he delivers' a bad product. So he has no incentive to improve.

Look at NFL history. After The Miracle in The Meadowlands, Giants Fans burned their season's tickets and led a rebellion that finally got them a new GM and HC. This is the kind of remedy that teams like the Jets, Redskins, and Browns need - it's why they continue to be low-feeders. This also gives me faith in the Patriots - they won't put up with bad ownership.

Do you know anything about the history of the Celtics? If not, you might enjoy it. In essence, two different bad ownerships -- each widely criticized while they were around -- sold the team into new hands. The new owners I'm referring to brought the 3rd and 4th championship eras in Celtics history.

People here hate Dan Shaughnessy, who indeed has been mailing in his work for decades, but he's the one who stuck the "Thanksdad" moniker on hapless and stingy team runner Paul Gaston in the 1990s. Before that, in the 1970s, a new owner meddled with Red Auerbach; Auerbach quit; the upshot was that the owner sold the team, Auerbach stayed around, and the Celtics had one of the greatest teams in NBA history.
