Come on down to the Harp for opening day and everything will be unicorns and rainbows. yeah baby! I'll be there with my twin boys! Don't you love observing the few baffled Pats "fans" at the Harp, staring as us (200+ crazed Bills fans) with dazed looks on their faces, sipping their foofy craft beers at the bar ... ? 1 hour ago, Augie said: Another fun game to play is walking around the city asking everybody you see to explain the infamous fumble chart.

I have a lot of very good friends from my time there, but I can say with ease that they are the hardest fans to deal with in all of sports. Especially around my age (18-24) all they've ever done is win with the Pats, Celtics, Bruins and Red Sox winning championships in their lifetime. If one team isn't playing well, they just abandon it for whatever team is playing well, or they talk about how bad X,Y and Z are and how they're "tired of losing". Any time you try and have a civil conversation about sports, it turns into "We're better than you", "How many duck boat parades have you had?", "Brady has 5 rings", "28-3" , "Look at all of our banners", "TB12", "The GOAT". They couldn't have a conversation or discussion, because they really didn't know all that much, so they would always default to the 6-7 things they did know. They got pretty brutal, and it became evident that they didn't know how to lose. The entire season they started with the annoying saying that "Our regular season doesn't start until January, the first 17 weeks of the season are irrelevant to us". It was awful. The worst scenario was the Gronkowski incident when he jumped on Tre White's head. They all defended Gronk during the game, saying Tre deserved it, that what Gronk did wasn't even that bad. Then come basketball season there was a play where Al Horford got pushed from behind under the net and they started FLIPPING out saying how dirty it was because he fell. They decided to ask my opinion, and I said " At someone didn't jump on his head after he was laying on the ground. Nothing is worse than that". They didn't like that, and said it was two totally different scenarios, and the Gronk's play wasn't dirty. It was amazing when they were getting destroyed by the Falcons the first half of the Super Bowl how many people gave up, threw things, locked themselves in their room, cried. made excuses. It was a sneak peak into what will happen when Brady and Belicheck retire. I just wish they didn't come back, because that next week was miserable to live through. There are so many more stories I can't share. I HATE BOSTON SPORTS FANS. They are a completely insufferable yet extremely insecure bunch despite all of the recent success by their teams. Those 'Mass-holes' are quite the dichotomy. Edited August 25, 2018 by ExWNYer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confirms what we already knew...Patriot fans are the ultimate front runners and bandwagon fans... All they could say to me after i did that was some version of "Yeah well your team still sucks!". I told them I was revoking their fan card but not to worry because they could just pick another good team to root for and get an early head start for when the Patriots start sucking again once Brady and Bellichick retire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he spent time with the Dolphins ? But my age and senility laugh at me everyday. I loved those helmets. The Center waiting to snap the ball and come at you. Those were cool. BTW i was not always a Bills fan.. I was Baltimore Colts fan at first. Had cards for J Unitas and Earl Morrall. the haircuts and the high tops are stuck in my mind. They had a TE as well. #88 any guesses ? 32 minutes ago, ExWNYer said: They are a completely insufferable yet extremely insecure bunch despite all of the recent success by their teams.

He is definitely more remembered for his time with Miami. He was an integral member of their 'No Name' defense. I believe you're referring to John Mackey...although ,truth be told ,Raymond Chester is who first popped into my head. Chester wore #88 in Oakland though, not with Baltimore.

cba fan Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 (edited) 8 hours ago, Not at the table Karlos said: I did that as well when I worked in Boston area. Would also ask them why they think the pats dont cheat, it was sad listening to the reasons. They didn't know anyone besides Bledsoe or Martin. My brother and I were trying to find correct pronunciation of Brian Daboll's name (he always picks the wrong way to say the vowels. Always) so we asked bills fans leaving the panthers preseason game what the name of the Bills OC was. We asked close to 200 people and maybe 5 knew. Some people wanted to fight when they didn't know. Most fans have no interest in who the assistant coaches are and do not follow them. Not everyone is hardcore like you and we are on boards like this. They do on the other hand follow the players and should be able to recall a handful given a period of years. 55 minutes ago, ExWNYer said: They are a completely insufferable yet extremely insecure bunch despite all of the recent success by their teams.

Thanks for taking me back in time, recalling watching Patriots when they were huge underdogs and no one thought much of them. We had issues with Patriots Fans at the Ralph. decades ago though. I still loathe them generally speaking. When i pull up behind a car with a Patriots emblem. i get irritable and dislike the person. true story. 2 minutes ago, OldTimeAFLGuy said: ...yup Nicky B was a 'Fin...member of the "Killer B's"............. not the names .

Nervous Guy Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 I knew this dude who was a huge Pats fan....wearing jerseys, talking **** about the Bills all the time....normally I'd just ignore him, but he did it this one time in front of a few friends and I just turned and asked him...can you name one...just one, of your offensive linemen....uh....ah....he couldn't do it. I rattled off 4 of them. He didn't talk too much **** in front of me again. I was satisfied. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
