New England

I've hated this franchise since they lost the perfect season, yes, I was a huge band wagon fan, I wanted perfection, and to see them lose it made me hate them.  After seeing the post game score today, I was disappointed that they came back and beat the Packers, I'm not a huge Packer fan, and a small part of me was hoping the Pack got crushed, but to be up and lose, is worse than anything that could have happened to them today.  When Boston and the New England area were underdogs, I liked them a whole lot more than I do now, the days of Mo Vaughn and Nomar trotting up to the plate against the Angels, made them likeable because they were a middle of the road team, not great, but entertaining.  The Pats were the same, Brady was calm, cool, and collected just like he is now, but before he had this idiot savant quality to him, that was admirable, but now everyone expects them to win because they're the Pats, now they've become the hated ones in the NFL, much like the Celtics in the NBA, and the Yankees in baseball(don't worry the Red Sox are not too far behind in hateability).  When did the countries most bitter city get the most consistently successful sports franchises?  The Celtics were the only thing to gloat about back in the 80's and 90's, and then it was the abyss of the NBA for a decade or more, now they're back on top, and so are the Red Sox and the Pats?  Remember mediocrity in Boston?  Things have changed.  Matt Damon is one of my favorite actors and I love watching movies about Boston, but I'm not a huge fan of watching sports from Boston, maybe it's because I know how annoying that Boston accent can be when you're cheering at the top of your lungs!  Red Sox beating the Angels, Celtics beating the Lakers, Pats beating the Chargers, I can't stand it.  But that's just me.
