Winning Spoils the "Fans"

After yesterday's 17-10 win over the Buffalo Bills, the post-game talk shows got some real interesting calls. One "fan" complained that the team is "boring". I guess it wasn't good enough that the Pats won.

I agree that the team could have played better. Coach Belichick says that every week. An onside kick at the end of a game is never a way to close it out.The caller indicated that he felt it was boring because the Pats showed no enthusiasm. He mentioned the days of Tedy Bruschi and Rodney Harrison yelling and screaming on the sidelines. He said the Pats were too business-like and methodical about the way they have played this season.

Maybe this guy should take a trip back to the late 80's and early 90's to the Dick MacPherson and Rod Rust era. This was when the old Foxboro Stadium had 20,00 fans, lousy teams and a local tv blackout. He obviously had no clue about what happened in year's past.

Winning spoils the fans. It makes fans out of a lot of people who go along for the ride. The real fans stay with the team during losing seasons. The Pats have been an exceptional franchise since the purchase of the team by the Kraft family. So many people have no clue about what this team use to be.
