I'm not really what you'd call a hater. I'm not even pulling for a team this season.
I'll be the first to admit the Patriots are good......they're too good, actually. I think that is what generates a lot of the negativity they receive.
I just couldn't resist giving Marsha a hard time.
I am. I mean... what's there not to hate about the Patriots?

A traitor, a killer, and a cheater walk into a bar...

The Patriots must be in town! :)

Pull for the Jets, Sunny. We need all the help we can get. :(

And the dead horse continues to be flogged....

I wonder if the Jets can pull of another butt fumble. That’s a trick play you don’t see often!

The only thing worse that watching a 3 hour Dolphins game is watching a 7 hour Dolphins game. :)

The Dolphins actually played much better than I expected. It's only one week but I'm a little more optimistic than I was a couple of weeks ago. Those lightning delays were torture. Both times when they got delayed, the weather didn't look all that bad on TV.

After a year of Jay Cutler, I have a new appreciation for Ryan Tannehill. :)
That was one long, long game! But so worth it for the few fans who did sit through both delays. Stadium was sparse! But a W is a W!! Go 'Phins!!!

I see those who complain about Patriots haters have no problem whatsoever slinging their own Jets hate. The Jets will show those Pats... if not this year, then the next... or the one after that, or the one after that... or next decade. :(

I don’t hate the Jets. I have empathy for them. The Patriots were the whipping boys of the NFL before the Kraft era. Will be again PBB (Post Brady / Belichick).

The only team I truly hate is the Yankees! Seriously, screw those pinstriped a**holes! Can’t help it. If you’re born in Boston Yankee hatred is part of your DNA! But that rant should be in the Baseball Cave :cool:

The weather was very nice yesterday at my house. I'm about 75 miles North of the stadium and there was never a hint of bad weather at my house.

Yeah, yeah, yeah... everyone has pity for the Jets. We're the Eddie The Eagle of the NFL. :)

I don't hate the Yankees. I look at them the same way I look at the Red Sox... with a big yawn. NL, baby!

Well, the Broncos kept their league-leading string of first home game victories alive. Keenum might not be the quarterback solution, but he kept them in there, except when he didn't, which was three notable times.

The Patriots are like the Raiders to me. If they didn't make such a habit out of cheating to get ahead, they'd be just another team. A good one, most assuredly. But just another team. Not just another team like the Cowboys, whom I can sneer at anytime for their past hubris, which I should have gotten over by now. But just another team.
