You can't see why people hate the Pats? Not that people didn't hate them before, but from this season alone. . . 1. Videotape scandal 2. Bill Belichick is an asshole (see: any Patriots press conference, any year) 3. Tom Brady is an arrogant dick (see: any Patriots press conference, this year) 4. Tom Brady's illegitimate son 5. Randy Moss (this truly needs no explanation) 6. They ran up the score on Joe Gibbs, purposefully trying to blank them for the whole game (see: Belichick's face when the Redskins stopped that from happening) 7. Patriots fans (this extends to all Boston area fans as this unprecedented era of Boston greatness is also creating an unprecedented era of cocky ass Boston fans) 8. 16-0. There's nothing more exciting than an entire country tuning in with the hopes of seeing the Pats lose. Don't let the media lie to you, the Pats are bringing in the ratings money because everyone wants to say they saw the Pats lose. 9. "The New England Patriots are a classy team". Cue cheating scandal, Wes Welker barking "You f***ing suck!" at a Colts DB, Randy Moss assaulting some bitch, Two-timing Tom, Brady's new book "Abandoning Your Bastard Child For Dummies". . . 10. Junior Seau. Dude has his little "I'm not retiring, I'm graduating" speech where it looked like he was up all night doing coke, then the next week he signs with the Patriots. If anything, hate the Patriots for a good guy like Seau trying to ride their coat tails to a ring. It's one thing to win a Super Bowl, it's another for Tom Brady and Randy Moss to win it for you. BONUS: 11. They win too much. Everybody hates the Lakers and Yankees because they used to win too much. Now we enjoy seeing them fail each year. New England's time will come and everyone will remember how they ran up the score and cheated in 2007, and will play their starters until the tail end of a 52-7 blowout too.

The only thing I can see you being mad at for a good reason is the cheating scandal. But I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that teams have committed similar acts that aren't so notable in the past. Such as players take steroids.

Tom Brady is the antithesis of arrogant. He barely ever takes any credit. Every time someone credits him with something, he instantly deflects the credit to his teammates, saying it's his job to hit the open guy (and it is).

The Pats are the epitome of team in the age of free agency and the all other kinds of leash and baggages that are attached in the NFL for a franchise. They win because they try to play the game perfectly. They have a coach who drives for perfection and knows how to convey his message to his players. I think as long as Pats have Belliceck for their coach, they will keep winning. That said, I'll be cheering for the Pats to loose.
Does that mean I hate the Pats? Absolutely not.

I've stayed out of this thread for a while in sheer amazement at the intensity of some people's dislike for the Patriots.
I'd expand monir's comment about Belicheck to include the entire front office structure, especially GM Scott Pioli. They've consistently made smart picks in the draft and free agency, especially the latter. There's no doubt in my mind that people like Rodney Harrison, Junior Seau and Randy Moss came to the Patriots to win rings before their careers came to an end. In fact the recent rise of Boston's teams in professional football, baseball and, this season, basketball all reflect a combination of smart front office people and owners willing to pony up the cash to get star players. While most of us naturally focus on what happens on the field, what's happening up in the executive suite has a lot to do with the future of a club in any sport. Oh, and I've wanted another Pats-Packers Superbowl since about week three. Favre made us look foolish in 1997, but we didn't have anything like the team we have now.

I can't say that I hate the Patriots. I don't really like them, but I don't hate them. And it's always funny when people bring up the fact that they got tape video taping stuff. Everybody knows the Patriots aren't the only ones that do that. People only call them cheaters because they were caught.
Either way, I just want to see San Diego lose >.<. I live in San Diego, and I can easily say that they have the worst fans I've ever seen. People are only Charger fans if they're winning. If they're losing, they will talk crap about them. But when they do start winning, they begin to brag to everybody about how good they are. It's so annoying >.< (P.S- I'm a Carolina Panther fan ) |

2 out of 2 on my picks. Me and my insight. Damn, I'm good. Pats and Giants. Woohoo. This is going to be so much fun. Pats coasted through the regular season except in two games. One was against the Baltimore Ravens, and the other one was against the New York Giants. I'm so eager to watch another great rematch to play out between this two team. Hopefully the Giants have learned enough to take care of business this time around. See you all in Super Bowl XLII. It sure to be a blast.

1 for 2 on my picks, I'm a little surprised the Chargers didn't even get into the endzone once and Lawrence Maroney had a big game...For the Packers game, Favre kind of blew it in OT, but I'm not blaming the loss on Favre, I think Eli proved he was a solid post-season quarterback and Plaxico was causing mismatch problems everywhere, even for Al Harris, who's suppose to be the Packers esteemed "shutdown" corner. Both games were great to watch and were worthy to be Conference championship games. |

I'm 1 for 2 here. Knowing San Diego and their injuries, I did pick the Patriots, although I'm sure that if LT and Rivers were healthy, I may have gone the other way. As for Giants and Packers, those two looked pretty even, so I picked the Packers to win that one just because they were playing at home, and sure enough, it was OT, which was pretty awesome even though I lost on that one.
Super Bowl XLII. Patriots vs. Giants. Oh, god, this one is one heck of a matchup. I don't know in this one, but I am 6-0 in my last 6 Superbowl picks (Pats, Bucs, Pats, Pats, Steelers, Colts). I'm saving up until Superbowl Sunday morning to pick this one cause I'm just not too damn sure. |

I heard that Chargers didn't play very well during their game with the Patriots, and if they actually played good/decent, they might have beaten Patriots on their bad day, but unfortunately they couldn't stop the Patriots from scoring a PERFECT SEASON (16-0) since 1971 (Around that year, I think it was Green Bay that got it during then?). In any case, I might miss Superbowl on the 3rd, because I might be at camp, but otherwise I got invited to watch it over at a friends. Patriots are going to win, it's inevitable, although Giants defense and their overall playing throughout the season is noteworthy.
