phypon Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Okay, so, I saw the Pats* today...kind of... I happen to be running errands near the airport today (Warwick, RI). I had no idea the Pats* were flying out today. I'm on Airport Road and there is a bunch of traffic and I hear a few people beeping their horns. I'm thinking, why are people beeping, there must be an accident up ahead or something, let it go. Once I got closer to the airport I see quite a few people walking the road ways, cops, and...the Pats* jet. Then it hit me, "that's what's going on here today". I drive by this area a couple of times a week and see that damn plane all the time. This time, it was front and center. I noticed the tail fin of the plane has 5 Lombardi trophies painted on it....fml!!! I finally get off that road and head onto Post Road. Now, nature is really calling at this point and I just want to get home. I come to a red light and I see a motorcycle cop stopping traffic (the light was green now). I couldn't understand why. It was a state police officer to boot. I see all traffic stopped. At that point a few motorcycle officers drove by. Shortly after I see more cop cars and motorcycle officers coming toward my direction. Then I see the buses. Six buses in total, people honking horns, police all over, motorcycles....they were busing the players to the airport. So, they had a police escort at least starting somewhere in RI from the MA line all the way to the airport, stopped/re-routed traffic. Ugh...I did not need to be stuck in traffic for THAT. I know this is standard procedure but...In short...I hate that team!!!! Just had to share. Go Eagles and go Bills!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I live in So.NH, an hour out of Boston. Frankly, the excitement level is somewhat diminished from years before. I think it's getting old hat for the locals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

entropyrules Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) I live in mid-coast Maine and the Pat's fans here are equally as loathsome as those in Boston. I always ask them if they saw the Pats during the 1990s and except for maybe two out of several hundred I get a blank look back; of course they get the meaning of the question but don't have an answer. I recently posted a bunch of referee jerseys on my Facebook page announcing the 2018 Pat's jerseys were now on sale. Drove the New Englanders crazy (that were friends - i think I have had more unfriending due to the Pats than to my politics (fiscally conservative libtard/snowflake/add whatever Ad hominen descriptor you have at hand when out of rationale arguments).

I get that too. I really piss off my Pats fan friends whenever I bring up Lance Armstrong and Roger Clemons when they give Tom Brady a tongue bath for being so good at 40.

wagon127 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I had to pull over for the Tampa Bay and Oakland motorcades on the way home from those games. I thought it was pretty cool. Especially since we beat both of those teams. Sounds really annoying, they put a picture of the 5 trophies on the tail fin. No way I could live that close to Patriots territory. I give you props for that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
