I believe most of America feels this way as do I

It's going to be so funny when the Patriots inevitably get bad again, like all great teams eventually do. All the kids here that grew up with them are so used to them being a shoe in every single year. Not to mention we have great teams across the other three major sports and an absolutely unreal amount of championships since 2000 across all four sports. Every team in Boston fucking SUCKED when I was a kid, so it was surreal getting into the early 2000s when all of a sudden we started winning everything with freakish regularity. It's going to be so entertaining watching all these little shits see what it was like for the rest of us before they were born. The Red Sox were/are the only team I was admittedly thrilled to see win.
I agree except the Red Sox part. I hope they don't win again for 50 years.
I just hope these games are good and won't be one sided.
tbh I wouldnt mind the Patriots getting spanked and Mahomes running up the score if that happened
Come on now.
You know that won't happen.
This is the 8th straight AFC title game for the Pats. My God does the AFC suck.
I hope the SB is as good as this game
Saints got dicked by the refs. What an awful way for your season to end.
There was a no call on the facemask on Goff as well within the 5 yard line
I know one thing. Any football player who thanks God or his lord and savior or whoever after a win can fuck right off.
If God exists, and if he even gives one single shit about the NFL, I refuse to believe it’s his will to see Bill Belichick with 7 fucking Super Bowl rings and Andy Reid with none. This is the 9th time he’s taken the Patriots to the championship. 9 times. Plus the 2 he won with the Giants.
So God does not care about football. He has nothing to do with it. He can’t, unless God is really Bill Belichick and he coaches the Patriots because heaven is boring. Or Belichick sold his soul to the devil.
We already had one victory parade this year from the Red Sox. I don't want another one, I've got shit to do. I've seen enough fucking parades the last fifteen years.
At this point I feel like Boston has become that rich villain in every eighties movie that always comes out on top and nobody likes, and a rag tag group of no bodies has to beat us at our own game to save their stadium from closing or something.
But in all honesty, it's sort of funny being from here. We hate the Yankees here (like to the point that there's physical violence between fans regularly), and the reality is that the Patriots have become the New York Yankees of football. They just show up and blow everyone out of the water every year and suck the fun out of it for everyone else, and everybody hates New England because of it. I don't like football but it is pretty hilarious.
Wentz won a SB last year lol
Like sure he didn't start because he was hurt, but he still got the ring and is a SB Champion
Unless you completely ignore the last 2 seasons, Wentz is probably going to have a short, injury plagued career. Said it before. They should have traded him for a truck load of picks and stuck with Foles. Could have built a dynasty.
Well put Hugh. That is what my mother always says.
But for real, Old Bill did sell the soul to the devil. Not Brady because he has no soul.
You shut your god damn mouth you son of a whore. Evil can't win again.
But for real I see the SB playing out nearly identical to the KC game. minus the ot
When I was still fighting professionally (by professionally I mean I was sanctioned by the boxing commission and being paid, so it was pro but only on a local/regional level, not like UFC or anything) I got matched up against this kid Dan who I fucking hated, we'd crossed paths before at seminars and stuff and he was just a grade A douche canoe. I knew I was going to absolutely mop the floor with him, and it was one of only two times I fought where I got to come out to a song. So to add insult to injury I wanted to pick the gayest, most unintimidating song possible because I thought it'd be hilarious to shit kick to him to hell and back after walking out to something girly. He came out to some gangsta Tupac song in a hoody making all these gang signs and shit, then screamed when he got into the ring.
I, however, came out to It's Raining Men, which had the (small) crowd in tears laughing and him looking at me like I was a pansy, which was what I was hoping for. I then proceeded knocked him out in 37 seconds flat because I staggered him with a right hook from the cheap seats to the liver (I slipped his overhand right and got beside him, hence me being at the right angle to hit him with a right hook to the body) and he fell forward and stumbled, lowering himself, his hands, and his head. I put my heel directly into the side of his mouth when he bent over and he fell like a sack of bricks. Whoever won, they had to play their entrance song as soon as the fight was called. So it ended with It's Raining Men blaring over the speakers while he was unconscious on the floor with me standing over him. Probably my most endearing memory from my competitive days I have.
This kid is from my town.
A hero if I ever saw one.

Anyone else feel that there has been like no buzz/energy for the SB this year? Like nothing at all?
I actually forgot the game was this week until about Thurs.
i guess because the Pats are going to win easily that no one cares.
The Pats have actually never won a SB easily, except maybe the first one against the Eagles
off topic but the last post referencing early Brady era got me to look up the 2001 season and I just noticed AFC Central had 6 teams in it when all the others had 5 teams. I guess I forgot about the Titans? But they were the Oilers so I guess the imbalance was the Jags? Wait no it was the Browns being added back?
AFC Central: Steelers, Ravens, Browns, Bengals, Titans, Jaguars (dat 6 team look)
AFC West: Raiders, Broncos, Chargers, Chiefs, Seahawks (best division tbh)
AFC East: Colts, Patriots, Bills, Jets, Dolphins (Colts/Pats was a legit rivalry at the start of Brady/Manning and I didn't know that)
NFC Central: Buccaneers, Lions, Packers, Vikings, Bears (lol NFC North + Tampa)
NFC West: Panthers, 49ers, Falcons, Saints, Rams (lol wtf is west about Carolina, Atlanta and NOLA)
NFC East: Cardinals, Eagles, Giants, Cowboys, Redskins (Arizona is east, lol why didn't Carolina and Arizona switch?!)
I don't have to work until Thursday, thank fucking Christ. I'm at the point with all these god damn victory parades I'm ready to put a plow on the front of my car to just run over the literal millions of drunks Boston's going to be full of on (probably) Tuesday. I don't even live right downtown where the parades are but I'm only about a five minute walk from Boston's main subway line, so it's going to be like the god damn walking dead again around my place... again. My apartment is super high up on a hill that's on top of a hill, and I'm on the top floor. Might be a good day to sit on the porch with my pellet rifle. They'll all be wearing bright blue and red, which will make them easy to see, but they'll be stumbling around since they've all been drinking since like seven in the morning, so I guess that adds a bit of a challenge to it.
If someone throws up on my fucking front steps again like the Red Sox parade a few months ago, they better pray to god I don't catch them.
pretty sure the most boring superbowl even beating out the time the power went out during the 49ers ravens one
Broncos Seahawks was more boring to me, I turned it off in the third quarter because it was totally one sided.
This was not an exciting game though, even though it was close. I could see why people would call it the most boring.

Also, this was the best commercial this year

Agree, I had to explain Franco Harris to my mom in a room full of Raider fans. :'(
Last night i sat on my couch watching this piece of shit. Game was tied at the half but I knew what was going to be the end result. When Pats scored the only TD of the game (I mean WTF) I sighed, turned off the tv, brushed my teeth and went to bed. Didn't bother to watch the final 9:00+ minutes. Knew the game was over then.
Unlike other Pats wins, i felt no rage this time. No swearing, no yelling, no smashing things, no getting banned from several forums due to threats and other...harsh language that I might have said. No this time was different. This time there was just a sense of emptiness and sense of loss. Once more Evil won. I know things won't be like this for much longer as both the hoodie and smiling devil won't last forever.
But I can't do it anymore. Losing in the FF championship last year nearly destroyed me as a NFL Fan. Only the Pats losing made the season feel ok. But this year...I can't do it. I can't stand to see evil win over and over and over again. The odds once more make no sense. 31 of 32 teams I could care less if they win. But the ONLY ONE I don't want to see win, does.
So go on and flame me, mock me, do whatever. i don't care anymore. My rage is gone, I've invested too much hatred only to get noting but evil winning thrown in my face over and over again. I'm tired of it all now. So very tired. I think I'm going to stop watching the NFL for a few years. I just can't take it anymore. I'm not even a Rams fan; not at all. Just wanted someone other than...them...to take it.
Goodbye football, I will miss you but I just can't do it anymore.
Fuck you Pats. Just...fuck you.
Hey Cheat. Hey Cheeeeeeaaaaaat.... CHEEAAAAAAATTTTT...

Sorry, I just knew this would obnxiously annoy you. If you ever do me wrong I'm going to tie you up in my basement and play this on a constantly repeating loop until you find a way to kill yourself.
In all honesty, I had to get a huge and painful monthly shot in my ass today at Brigham & Women's Hospital. It fucking sucked trying to cram into the sardine can of a subway car packed shoulder to shoulder with people who've been shotgunning whiskey since 7 AM for the parade. It sucked even more coming home with a bruised ass, as it didn't have me in the mood to be stuffed in a tin can with a bunch of loud, smelly booze bags after having a doctor stab me with the biggest needle I've ever seen.
This is getting stupid. The rest of the country needs to step it's game up. Twelve championships across four sports since 2000, and fourteen appearances in the championship across four sports since 2000. It's like every other state is trying to inject an endless supply of testosterone and general cocky big-headedness into the entire population of Boston. I sort of watch baseball but barely, and only toward the end of the season; and I don't watch other sports at all. I'm pretty damn sick of listening to how much better we are than anyone else.
Even so, when we sucked at everything in the nineties people still were die hard fan. It might be annoying as fuck but if anything you can't deny Boston backs all four teams with a fervor that's almost unmatched. If you're ever looking to get into a fight just show up to a bar outside a stadium in Boston with like a Yankees jersey, a Montreal Canadiens jersey, a Lakers jersey, etc. You'll definitely find someone to scrap with. I remember a few years ago some dude curb stomped a dude from Quebec who had on a Habs jersey outside of the garden and almost killed him. Boston's truly a magical place where dreams are made and we build bridges of rainbows.
Yep. A few days on the ignore list will be best for everyone. See you in a bit Ach.
In all actuality I'm the least YEAH BOSTON RULES person ever. You'd probably be pretty surprised if you met me. I do love Boston, but not because of the obnoxious sports culture. I like it because it's really progressive, the population is generally very educated, and there's a lot of culture here in museums, music, there's a ton of cool history here dating back about as far as America goes, etc. I basically never talk about sports ever. If we were to grab lunch if one of us were in the other's city, I wouldn't even bring up sports. I never do. I'm just busting your balls. I don't care that the Patriots won. I haven't watched a superbowl in probably almost twenty years.
At this point I think my sharing NFL memes is more likely to annoy Cheat than for someone else to appreciate them. But I love em so here's another one

I wouldn't give a damn if they were FUNNY.
I don't see how these are pro-Pats, the past two were just clowning on the Rams for sucking. I even posted one about Mark Sanchez having more road playoff wins than Tom Brady on the last page :huh:. Most of the other ones I posted were Kareem Hunt stuff
Thinking its not funny doesn't mean you have to be salty about it.
Evil still won.
That is all that matters.
How angry are you going to be if the Patriots somehow manage to build another winning franchise after Brady and Belichick are gone? Would you quit watching football?
It's going to be hilarious if they end up bad. Patriot Place, where Gillette Stadium is, is basically its own fucking city it's so huge and there's so much shit there. Restaurants, movie theaters, hotels, gyms, ballrooms/halls, museums, etc. Boston fans are about as die hard as they come so people will no doubt still turn out regularly for games, but it'd just be funny if they start to suck after this dynasty is over seeing as they built like a literal city in Foxboro when Kraft bought the team and the Patriots started winning left and right.
They keep hinting that Kraft has been trying to buy land in actual Boston for years seeing as how huge the Patriots have gotten here. They blew when I was a kid, as did all of our teams through the nineties. But despite the Red Sox 80+ year World Series drought and all of the historic collapses they had, Boston was always first and foremost a huge baseball town when I was growing up. Since 2001, the Patriots have handily become the number one team here in terms of popularity no doubt (not to say they weren't watched and followed, they absolutely were - just not as much as the Sox). A lot of people don't realize that where Gillette Stadium is, out in Foxboro, is like west bum fuck Massachusetts. It's absolutely nowhere near the city, and it's a fucking pain in the balls getting out there, which isn't even remotely convenient for both natives going to games, and especially for tourists visiting here to go to a game. It's a long ass drive from the city and there's essentially nothing out there other than Patriot Place, which is funny because the team is so directly billed as Boston team.
So there's been rumors that Kraft has been pushing to build a stadium that's actually in the city, as it would make more sense for a lot of reasons. I don't know where the flying fuck they could put something that huge though; Boston is already an extremely small city to begin with, it's tiny as hell compared to New York, LA, Chicago, etc. And it's already congested as hell and the only other place to really build is up. A lot of people speculate that this is why Kraft was so heavily lobbying to bring the 2024 Olympics here a few years ago, and willing to dish out loads of money to help pay for it. The word on the street was that since Olympic facilities typically become defunct and entirely unused after the conclusion of the games, that he could push the city to build a huge Olympic stadium somewhere in Boston, then try to swoop in as the savior to buy the stadium off of the city to "save" it from going to waste, then convert it into a new stadium for the Patriots (with the New England Revolution MLS soccer team, who already plays at Gillette, taking that stadium since they don't have their own and just use the Patriots - Kraft owns both teams).
Boston would be like the absolute worst major city in America to hold the Olympics though, so it was largely criticized as a joke of an idea. Like I said, the city is way too small and there's positively nowhere they could build a huge stadium. They were hinting at putting it in the Seaport district in Southie (South Boston) where I'm from, but they'd have to level like a few square blocks to even entertain that idea. Boston goes to bed early, so the nightlife here is nothing like a New York or LA - our bars all close at 2 AM, so it'd be a terrible place for tons of tourists from all over the world to come and party. We have the oldest subway system in the country and to say it's a disorganized, poorly run clusterfuck of a mess would be too polite in describing it; it breaks down almost hourly, nothing is ever on time, they always close stations and have connected buses between subway stations to get you back on the train; the fucking rail system here is like over a century old. With the city being so small, there's not even remotely close to enough hotels to hold the enormous amount of tourists that would be visiting from all over the world for the Olympic games. We're rated as the worst city in America for traffic year after year, and it's already a congested hellscape without millions of global tourists visiting. And the already small city is almost entirely resident parking only, so you can bet your ass Bostonians would be assaulting visitors for parking in stickered spots that are supposed to be for us.
So as it stands now, the Patriots are staying way out in the middle of nowhere. But I guess Kraft is still pushing for it, I don't know how though since the Olympic bid was denied. I don't want that fucking thing here, it's already bad enough getting around town with Fenway Park and the Garden (Bruins, Celtics) during their respective seasons. It can just stay way the fuck out in some farm field a few hours from my apartment instead.
