Ouch, that sucks bad! That's worse than I have it.

I have never in my life been around a crew of Redskins fans. I have always been in the minority.
I was born and raised outside of Boston. I'm a huge Red Sox fan (I have an entire room dedicated to the 2004 Red Sox including autographed baseballs from every player from every position that started any game for the Sox in the series) and I'm a huge Bruins and Celtics fan. But for whatever reason, I have ALWAYS hated the Patriots. When I was a little kid the Patriots were not a part of "boston sports" so I wasn't even aware they were the home team. I just always liked the Redskins, don't know how it started, but all my life I have been a Skins fan. My excuse to this day is...Well, they are the original Boston football team! haha
I went to College (1 of the colleges) in Arkansas...another Cowboys country area. Now I live in Carlsbad, New Mexico and I hate it. So I have never had the luxury of having fans around me.
My wife and I are interested in moving to Denver. At least they have a hard core fan base that aren't the cowboys.

dude I think we are twins. I love all the same teams as you. I was born in Fairfax Va. then grew up in RI the rest of my life until now I am in MD. It was great being a skins fan in New England during high school. We ruled and the Pats sucked. When the Pats went to the 86 super bowl it was the worst I wanted to hide.

Where in RI? I had a lot of friends in that state. Greenville and West Warwick. Of course, I used to watch a lot of Pawtucket Sox games too. That's where I met Jeff Bagwell. Nice guy. Sadly he just retired.

I actually won several bets that year because I knew the Pats would be creamed. I even gave them like 9 or 10 points, and I raked it in. I hate the Patriots, although have to figure out why I have such a deep seeded hatred for them.
I know what you're talking about with roaming High School when the Skins were in their hayday. I think I saw you were 32 or 33, so we're very similar in age, I'll be 32 in a few weeks.

I was at the last game in the Boston Garden. Bruins vs the New Jersey Devils. I still have the ticket stub framed. Everyone was trying to steal the seats, it was funny. I just sat there and soaked it all in. The Fleet Center just doesn't have the same feel, even though it ends at the old North Station too, it's like two different worlds. There was no place like the Garden.

Re: Share your Christmas gifts...

Sorry to get a little off track for a minute, but I didn't want to start a thread for 1 question.
What is the name of that radar / laser detector that makes you invisible to cops? It will jam their radars? It's top of the line and new, but I can't remember what it was called. Anyone know?

I only know this because I was trying to buy the same thing: Anything that actively jams radar is illegal in every state. Jamming laser is legal. The passive jammers don't work at all...

Unfortunately everything is illegal in VA. I can carry a concealed handgun into a McDonald's, but I can't get a radar detector.
