The I hate the Patriots thread!

[mheisig]

I've hated them for years. Mainly because my uncle lives in Boston and is a Pats fan, and I've never liked my uncle, ergo I disliked the Patriots long before they were good.

Nobody can argue that they have a formula for winning year in and year out (whether that includes cheating or not). Yes, 3 Super Bowls, modern dynasty, yadda yadda.

None of that erases the fact that Belichick is an arrogant prick, and Brady is no better. Look at an organization like the Colts where you've got Manning and Dungy, probably to of the most standup, classy guys in the league. I'll root for them any day of the week even if they aren't any good.

Frankly I'm glad Belichick will forever be remembered with an asterisk next to his name. A fitting footnote for the games most pompous asshole.
