Okay, one minor infraction during preseason and a perfect season have everyone but the New England area hating the Pats. What’s up with that? Is it America’s deep-rooted pride of the underdog that has us lambasting these grid-iron greats? I should hope not. Look at their name — NEW ENGLAND, not Old England. Looking at it from a Revolutionary War point of view, this area above many represents the triumph of the underdog.

What is it then that makes people loathe them so? Is it because Moss is thought of as a no-good gangster, or the fact that Brady looks like a sissy and is still trouncing defenses left and right? At heart, I’m a Bills fan, so when I say this, keep in mind I’m not biased: Get over yourselves and hail the inevitable champs.
