Do pats fans realize why everyone hates them?
Reread your posts and it becomes painfully obvious

Bill Simmons doesn't help the cause either.
His last article on the Pats was the most ridiculous article I've ever read.
[/ QUOTE ]Funny thing is that he said that we haven't seen this kind of dominance since the 89 49ers. What kind of short memory does he have.
First off, the 89 49ers weren't blowing opponents out early: they didn't have a 10 point victory until week 6.
Second, off the top of my head, I came up with 4 teams since 1989 that had better starts than the 89 49ers:
1991 Redskins (started 12-0 and had several 40+ point games)
1998 Vikes (highest scoring team of all-time, with the #7 scoring defense).
1999 Rams (Greatest show on turf. #1 offense and #2 defense).
2001 Rams (Also blowing teams out left and right).
Even the 2005 Colts could be listed in the same category (started 13-0, with only 2 close games). In fact, what Simmons forgets is that the 2007 Colts is nearly as dominant as the 2007 Pats.
He acts like the 2007 Pats are something special, but they haven't proven anything yet.

I don't have a problem with Simmons stating how good the Pats are (I think they are an awesome team), its more just how arrogant and annoying he is about it. The whole like "ZOMG everyone is mean to us, we'll show you!" is pretty annoying, and makes people hate the pats more than the stupid cheating thing. And how he ended the article, the "the only sign that matters now is the two middle fingers towards the sky" thing was incredibly retarded.
