Just Jack Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Wore one of my Bills polo's on Friday, none of the locals said anything about it. Only saw one person wearing anything that said Patriots* the entire week. TV news covered stories like, the father that named his kid Brady and is now selling some of his season tickets just so he can afford them, and what Tom and Giselle are doing.

We knew all along that many of their fan base are "fair-weather" fans. I have noticed the same in upstate New York. I used to see people with Patsie shirts, hats, bumper stickers, etc, and have not seen much since week one. I can't wait to see how many show up for their game with us at The Ralph this year.

This just proves that no matter how much it may seem that chaos rules, if you wait long enough, sooner or later the natural order of the universe will be restored.

Makes the Bills front office seem almost friendly. Link Season Ticket Holders Information All season ticket sales are final and no refunds or exchanges will be made. Season ticket accounts can not be transferred or split. ...Tickets obtained from sources other than the New England Patriots or their authorized agents may well be tickets that have been reported lost or stolen, or have been illegally resold, and in such cases will not be honored. Season Ticket Renewals In Future Years Season ticket sales in future seasons are subject to any changes, limitations, and/or deadlines that the Patriots may adopt. The purchase of season tickets for 2006 does not entitle a season ticket holder to purchase season tickets in any subsequent year.

That's interesting, because this week I received an e-mail from the NFL that links up Ticketmaster's NFL ticket exchange & the Patriots had tickets sold by their fans on the list. It appears they can't scalp them, but they are selling them at face plus the ticketmaster vig. It now looks like almost every team is in on this, even the Patriots. http://www.nfl.com/tickets?campaign=email_Tickets0927 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's probably close to abandoning his kid, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I don't have zubaz pants anymore, given to the Veterans, too many cigarette burns. I still have the hat, but nothing to wear it with. Saw a lady wearing a *pats sweatshirt last year; would not hold the door for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Brasky Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Be fair dude, it is only September and there is a certain baseball team fighting for playoff positioning. Gillette Stadium is still sold out for every game and talk radio devotes every Monday and Friday to the Pats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
