How can anyone hate the Patriots? (Yes, I know I'm speaking as a NewEnglander). Granted, New England itself isn't spectactular. They're one of the cleanest, down-to-earth teams in the league, you rarely ever hear about personality problems. There's no premadonnas, just a solid group of guys that work well together. Belichick is freakin brilliant and shows the emotion of a piece of furniture. He's not a screamer, he's a great motivator and expects his players to have class on and off the field. More often than not, they just find ways to get the job done. Bob Kraft has done an incredible job rebuilding this franchise.
Is it because they've been very sucessful in the past few years? You may not remember the 40 years of drought and having to listen to them on the radio because they couldn't sell a ticket. The network couldn't justify broadcasting a game that wasn't sold out. My dad was always a riot to watch during the games growing up!
Miami isn't really their rival anymore, it's either the Jets or Colts it seems now.
Though, on second thought, I suppose I can understand. It's been a tough road as a Sox fan with the Yankees always coming through in the end.
