Re: Why All The Hate Toward The Patriots?
Personally, I think the hate for the Pats comes down to Belichick. He gives a poor first impression (and second and third). Nobody here really knows him, so their perception of him is based on what little information we have to go on.
So, here's what we have to go on:
1.) Football Etiquette -
Relentless attack. No mercy. Score as many points as possible -- not as many points needed to win.
2.) Outward Appearance -
Unkempt. Disheveled. Unprofessional.
3.) Press Conferences -
Poor speaker. Rude. Blunt. Inconsiderate. Unemotional, if not angry.
4.) Media Gossip -
Cheated on his wife. Cheated in the NFL.
Put Dungy on the Pats, even with Brady and everything else, and I think most of the hate for the Pats goes away. In short, it's hate for Belichick -- not Brady or the Pats as a team. Thats my analysis anyways.
