Earlier this year I thought maybe the Patriots/Brady were done. My bad, just a typical Patriots slow start. Looks like another deep run coming. Sigh, wish one of my teams played 1/2 as good on a regular basis. Love them or hate them, but recognize their greatness.

Indifferent. Consistent, though.

As kids, we all loved the Bruins, Red Sox, and Celtics. The Pats were perennial doormats, with the exception of 85-86 when they crapped a decent season with Grogan and Eason and got crushed by the Bears.

NOBODY in NE was an avid football fan and a Patriots fan. NOBODY.

They got good and all of a sudden dooshbags came out the woodwork. Nah... nope... still not a fan. Like to see them do well, and will admit Bill and Tom got a good run going... but to say I've always been a fan? Hell no. They sucked, and I hopped on the Niner bandwagon like any self respecting 12 year old would. My friends all picked the Cowboys or Steelers, or Vikings... and NOW they're Pats fans?

Sorry... I'm riding with the Niners. The wagons broke, and got 2 wheels fallin' off... but I'm ridin' it.

I've been a fan from day one. Had season tix one year...the year before the Super Bowl loss to Da Bears!

I've seen them play at Fenway Park, Harvard Stadium, Boston College, Foxboro I, Foxboro II. Still remember being so excited when Tommy Yewcik (sp?), a back up QB to Babe Parilli and team punter, was going to be the guest speaker at our monthly Cub Scout gathering of all the dens...just a stop on the rubber chicken circuit for players but whatever small money he got he probably needed.

i was at a preseason game as a teen ager when the stands caught on fire at Boston College. I was on crutches (football injury) and it was awesome. So many loser things happened to this franchise...but I was rewarded big time the last two decades. Unprecedented run of contention.

Most guys I have known for decades have been there from the beginning too.

I may have also seen them at old Braves Field, which was Boston University's field by then.

Yeah, the baseball Braves played there!

natch!

I was about 7 years old when the AFL was launched. I was already a yuuuuge sports fan.
Ted Williams still played for the Sox!
The Celts were just starting to accomplish something no American sports team will ever match.

The Titans were the Houston Oilers.
The Chiefs were the Dallas Texans (the NFL ran them out of town by granting Dallas the expansion Cowboys).
The NY Jets were the NY Titans...D1ck Wood was the QB! I think. Played at the Polo Grounds IIRC.
The Chargers were in L.A...and now they are back.
Gene Mingo kicked a field goal in OT to win the first AFL Championship game.

My brain hurts.

I was 6 in 1967,was watching a game with my grandfather,Patriot's we're playing the Oilers IIRC.I remember telling my grandfather how cool the Pat's logo was............lots of tough years ahead but I stuck with them.The Cowboys were my #2 team........mainly because of Roger Staubach,that continued til Jerry Jones fired Tom Landry.Given no out to save face........I dislike JJ so much my intentions are to one day piss on his grave and leave a fedora on his headstone.Anyway JJ's actions just made me a bigger Pat's fan.Well after all those years It finally started paying off.

Born late 69. I was an 80's kid. Joe Montana won his first SB in 1981 and beat the jackass cowgirls with "The Catch".

I hated the Cowboys. I resented that they were called "America's team", and loved it when they lost. The Pats were irrelevant, and as a kid playing pop warner... Joe was my boy.

I don't root against my home team (unless they play my Niners), but I made my choice way back when and I ain't wavering. My homies... Joe, Brian and Alex (Cowboys, Vikings and Steelers respectively) have all abandoned their original ships for the Pats bandwagon. Phags.

Chargers are playing the Steelers right now... In 94 (?) I was in 7th grade, knew nothing of football, lived in SD, went to school with a bunch of junior seau's samoan family members...

That year the chargers beat the Steelers to make it to the Superbowl where they were thoroughly embarrassed by the niners... My friend Fernando was an impressively knowledgeable (for a 7th grader) Steelers fan... He apparently presented a good argument for being a Steelers fan cuz I've bled black and gold ever since...

I lived in SD in 1994 and I think I was the only Niners fan in my neighborhood. The Niners thoroughly whooped the Broncos that year and my buddy Danny refused to answer his phone that day... a fact which we both laugh about to this day.

Yup. JUST that season.

San Diego fans are fickle and that's why their team went back to LA.

SF is full of dope addled phags, but they damn sure love their football team. Freaks.

OT always sucks, until that check rolls in 2 weeks later. They called last night around 5pm, but I already had 2 beers by then. Beer

Packers fan as a young child. At 7 or 8, I added the Steelers as my second favorite, as they had similar uniforms- and they were winning. Remember watching them beat the Vikings in the Super Bowl.

Decided to pick a new AFC in the late 80s. The Steelers were too popular. Loving an underdog, I adopted the Chiefs at the end on 1988, after a 4-11-1 season. How can you say No to a team with such amazing WRs like Carlos Carson and Emile Harry- the latter was the lead singer of Blondie.

Plus, show me a more talented QB than Steve DeBerg?

Gentlemen....

Looks like MO is a go. Probably making a huge mistake, trading in our current household income for a semi-startup, and what I think is middle class income a COO title... And shares....

Moving in a couple months. May take a month off to travel for honeymoon... May not...
