What's the Stupidest Thing You've ever Thought/Said about the Patriots ?

[Jacky Roberts]

Dumbest thing I've ever said about the Patriots?

I've been a season tix holder since 1993 and around 1998 or so, I told a buddy of mine "Its tough paying for these season tix every year when you know this team can never win a Super Bowl".

Sure, I said it when they were getting waxed at home by someone, but I still remember that comment.

I'm with all the others that picked beating the Bears in '86 ... thought the Pats would win, said they would win, even believed they would win too ... boy was I ever wrong about that one ... sheeeesh.

The dumbest thing I can remember saying is a couple years back when I said that it looked like Brady just didn't care anymore when he was playing. I still stand by that but in retrospect it was pretty stupid because I haven't seen that look since.

Yeah, right around the (second) NYJ game and the Tenessee game in 2002 he definitely looked that way. He's since admitted he struggled mentally in 2002 - good thing he turned the corner

before playing Green Bay i said myself ''finally...we will finally reach the top...we will be Super Bowl Champions''...

p.s. that gramatica pic is freaking me out.

This is actually something I've done. This is a hard one for me to admit...

During the Oakland game, (you know the one - playoffs, in the snow) I was sitting about three rows from the field right on the goal line. It was cold - I mean real cold, and as the game went on I was continually sipping from the flasks we had smuggled into the game to "keep warm." Nothing had happend on our side of the field for most of the day. Around the end of the third quarter, I realize that I've had way too much to drink and need to get the hell out of here before I get sick all over the guy in front of me. We made it back out to the parking lot (which by this time resembled a revolutionary war army camp - rows and rows of tents covered in snow) just in time to see the tuck rule on tv, and Adams kick through the snow. I distinctly remember saying "boy that sure looked like a fumble to me!" - Doah, blame the wild turkey.

I am sitting alone in my office and have been laughing out loud for easily 5 minutes over this one. Once I stopped laughing I got to Wistah's post and started cracking up all over again. Well done.

Mugatu, Gramatica...seems any picture I put in my signature freaks somebody out.

David Terrell on the board in the first round:

"Who the F&@K is Richard Seymour?"

 

[Armen Da Pats Fan]

I have a top ten list!

My top ten stupidest comments:

10. "Ben Coates will be a mentor to Rod Rutledge and turn him into an All-World tight end!" (before the two of them ended up getting arrested for dragging up I-95 on the way home from Foxy Lady in Providence).

9. "If Lisa Olsen wants to be in the locker room, then she's gotta be able to handle a pat on the ***** and a close-up of Zeke Mowatt's schlong!" (This was before God blessed me with TWO daughters, one of whom wants to be a journalist!)"

8. "The Patriots will bring the Bears back down to earth. Lester Williams, Garin Veris and Julius Adams will be in McMahon's face all day! Ray Clayborn will have at least one INT returned for a TD! Irving Fryar will be the MVP! Patriots 30, Bears, 13! You heard it here first!"

7. "Adriann Klemm will be in the Hall of Fame someday!"

6. "Former-UM CB Duane Starks will make our secondary amazing!"

5. "Richard Seymour is faking injury because he doesn't want to be here. That's why he held out. He's a half-***** player. We'll be fine without him!"

4. "Lawyer Milloy is the heart and friggin soul of this team! Get ready for a 3-13 season!"

3. "Finally, we got rid of those lazy-***** Sullivans and we have a decent owner! Victor Kiam is going to put his electric razor money behind this franchise and deliver us a Super Bowl championshipship!"

2. "Richard Seymour? We left David Terrell on the board and took Richard Seymour?"

1. (While sitting in the stands at Foxboro, September 23, 2001): "Who the he!! is this Brady kid? Jesus, our whole season just went down the tubes. There is no way this team can win without Bledsoe!"

 

[primetime]

Brady? Did they just pull a QB out of the stands or something? Who the heck is this guy? (During his first NFL start against the Bengals)

Well, at least we'll get a high draft pick this year. (Bus ride back from the 31-0 drubbing the Bills gave the Patriots on opening day in 2003)

 

[Mike the Brit]

The dumbest thing I ever said about the Pats was predicting that they would win Super Bowls XXXVI, XXXVIII and XXXIX. And Idid that in 1952, 8 years before they ever came into existence. Yeah, right.

Fantastic, NEM! But, be honest: you did say that they'd have to sack Charlie Weis to do so, didn't you?

 

[DaBruinz]

before playing Green Bay i said myself ''finally...we will finally reach the top...we will be Super Bowl Champions''...

I don't think this was that stupid. Had Parcells actually give 100% during that game and not tanked the 2nd half, I believe things would have been different.

Of course, he did some silly things before the game even started. Like NOT dress Sam Gash and Troy Brown. WTF was that about.

My best friend is a Rams fan. We were out drinking the night before
Super Bowl XXXVI. I told him the Rams were going to kick our a**. How's
this for a parlay. I was pretty sure the Rams would make it and was
trying to talk him into going. I told him I'd put 500 on NE to beat Oak.
If we lose, I'm only out 500 and not going anyway. And, I told him
that I thought we could beat Pittsburgh(I was more confident about
that game than Oak). Then I could put 1000 on AFC Champ game.
If we make it I have enough money to go. If we lose, I'm still only
out 500. Still pisses me off I didn't follow thru on my plans. Especially,
since I heard Tix were pretty easy to get.

 

[Coast2CoastPatsFan]

Just off the top of my head.............

I actually thought that Sam Jankovich/**** MacPherson would turn the franchise around.

Why are they changing the uniforms and logo? I like Pat Patriot and the red jerseys. Well, the current unis and logo have since grown on me (3 SB championships made that easier).

I thought that Chris Canty was a great pick (looks like either I'm the only person to ever think that or the only one brave enough to admit it).

After the 31-0 pasting at the hands of the Bills to open the 2003 season I remember my buddies and I all saying "I'm going to find other things to do on Sundays."

To a lesser extent............

Wasn't keen on the hiring of Belichick (I was one of the ones who wanted the Capers/Donohoe tandem......sure glad that didn't happen!) or the trade for Dillon, and thought that trading a 3rd for Duane Starks was a steal.

 

[T-ShirtDynasty]

Monte Beisel is going to be a Tedy Bruschi clone! (After a conversation with my uncle the chiefs fan who described Monty almost the way I would have described Brucshi a few years back)

 

[OhExaulted1]

Years ago, when the Patriots were considered the Siberia of the NFL like the Bengals of the 90's, there was a alot of talk of moving the team to St. Louis or Jacksonville.

I remember telling a friend "Who cares if the Patriots leave!?! There an embarresment to NE sports!"

I humbly apologize for my youthfull indescretion.

I told my friends the night before Superbowl 38, "Carolina's definitley gonna win, because they are like the Patriots of 2001, turning around after a losing season, to a winning season and upsetting teams on their way to the Superbowl, ready to play the best team in the league." So I thought, how could the underdogs lose? Its the best script possible.

Also during the snowbowl, Pats vs Raiders, I never gave the Pats a shot at all to win. As a matter of fact, I was certain the Pats would get shut out. So I went downstairs and played Halo with two of my friends. I come up after my parents and some others were screaming after Brady scored the touchdown. I thought it was cool and all, but seriously, the Pats wouldnt win. Tuck rule, no theres no way thats getting overturned. Vinataeri making the kick to tie it. NOT possible, and in overtime, Vinataeri would miss the kick, typical end to a New England sport team's season.

Where are the "Bishop should be our starting qb" people.

Here!:rocker:

(I'd STILL take him over Deadslow).

 

[rookBoston]

2000: Glenn is a headcase, but he's a special talent. If we trade him away, it'll take at least five years before we can field any kind of offense

2001: "David Terrell at #6"

2002: "The guy that I like is Antwoine Womack. Once he comes back from his injury, he's going to win the job as our feature back. Wait and see."

2003: "Rohan Davey is going to be a star"

2004: "Vince Wilfork is a fat lazy player. Even if he falls to us, he wont be on our draft board"

2005: "The Pats will draft a CB, probably Corey Webster, at #32... I promise"

2006: "The Pats will draft LB, Carpenter or Lawson, at #21... I promise"
