You know, the good kind of travesty whereby extraordinary misfortune befalls the easily-hateable team that has experienced so much success. The one that has had the benefit of iffy ref calls for more than a decade now. The team that has an owner that has more than doubled his significant wealth due to the hiring of a coach and the drafting of a certain qb in the sixth round on a bit of a flyer.
Yeah, that team. The one that has fans that couldn’t tell you who Steve Grogan or Andre Tippett is/was. They don’t even acknowledge the Super Bowl that Parcells took them to. “Affient bistory”, they say in their drunken, garbled tongue. That’s the fan base that doesn’t acknowledge players that have been cast aside and have ended up on other teams. “They didn’t play THE PATRIOT WAY-I hope they took the first segregated bus out of town after they was cut!”, they screech.
It’s the team that has bent the rules as far as they’ll go and have only been punished a handful of times. Logic dictates to me that they’ve been able to squash a few revealments of other wrong-doings with a wadful of cash here and a plutonium tea there. “Oh, that assistant strength coach that was booted out of the Boy Scouts for reasons unknown? His steroids weren’t replaced by insulin. No sir!”* [runs out of breath]
TO… THEGAME! [wheezes]
KC/NE:
Do what you do, Patreek Le Freek.
And you guys can do what you do as well
*may not have occurred but I’m not ruling it out completely
Me; Didn’t get shopping basket and too lazy to go back to the front of the store.
At least Mike Judge didn’t make one of the stripes on the flag in the color blue.

I am going through the threads, and it looks like I missed a helluva day of football.
But, I paid penance for missing Thanksgiving to go to Seattle. So I get to sleep at home. VICTORY!
This is my 50th season of Patriots fandom, and I know that the current streak of dominance is going to end sooner rather than later, and I’ve been expecting that end for several seasons now, but goddammit I am still happy as hell when this kinda shit happens. Having watched the Pats suck for nearly 35 years until 2001, and having hated all the dominant teams of the 70s, 80s, and 90s, I understand and empathize with the rest of the country’s hatred of my team. But tough shit. I’ve spent more years suffering than I have spent basking in glory.
I can never hate on the long time fans of a team. It’s always the bandwagoneers that ruin a team’s success. I see it every Sunday at the gathering of 12s.
I was up home for the losses to JAX and DET, and watched both in bars full of rabid Pats fans, and was honestly kind of enjoying a little schadenfreude (secretly of course). I have to tell my 20-something nephews up there, who have never known anything but Brady and success, that the sun only shines on a given dog’s ass for a given amount of time, and then moves on, and they’d best brace themselves for some 2-14 or 5-11 seasons during their time on the planet. They don’t buy it; I just hope it happens soon enough so I can tell them “I told you so.”
I absolutely detest any BAWSTAHN team winning, but, as the decedent of Stillers season ticket lifers from the 1950s, I respect the stick-to-it-iv-ness.
EDIT: You were also in the Air Force, so, common ground there.
My beef with steelers fans is very specific:
Pieces of crap say pre superbowl titles don’t count, but unlike the Patriots, those cunts been around since the 30s.
I told the Yinzer colonel I worked for, born circa 1980, that titles didn’t count if you were still swimming around in your father’s balls.
’cause Otto Graham won a kabillion titles with the…… Browns.
Well fuck. Cheers anyway.
35 year old patriot fan fakest account ive ever seen
Damn, caught out again!
Clearly this is a Russian bot. There are no real people who have folllowed the Pats for this long who possess empathy.
And, if I’m wrong, he’s still a Pats fan so GET HIM!!!
I don’t even know what to say
Lemme guess: it’s from the Internet?
………yes……..
Her Instagram is brittanylynne8
This will not end well.
Oh I don’t know if it got mentioned elsewhere but 43-40 is a Scorigami hit.
Wait really? I’m surprised.
Once it got to 40-40 it was virtually a lock to be something.
Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
Yul Brynner posting from the afterlife?
Shows how deeply I hate the P*ts when a division foe loses and I’m still this pissed.
MOOSE SMASH…… wait, I paid for this stuff….
MOOSE GO SEE WHAT IN FRIDGE!!
The thing that should concern the Chiefs is just how casual it was for the Patriots to go down the field on them in those last three minutes. You know how some things are just kind of automatic, like how Andy Reid finds himself at the Arby’s drive-thru without remembering even turning on the car? It was like that.
I’ve not been to an Arby’s in a long time but I recall very much enjoying their sandwiches (not their fries though).
I think I should get a game ball for managing to watch this game AND cook a carrot cake.
You get my game ball!
Is that the left or the right?
Yes.
“HE HATES THOSE CABBAGES!!!”
I haven’t seen someone that hostile towards vegetables since yada yada yada Andy Reid.
The good news is I get to visit the DMV tomorrow.
I have an appointment.
Motherfucker.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
SUCK IT CHEFS
[but seriously anyone who isn’t terrified of this Chiefs team does not have a fear center in their brain]
(You’re not wrong, but also WOOOOOOOOO)
Rams Chefs supe O/U: 75? 80? 90?
0 cause it ain’t gonna happen.
Balls is all about that Rams denial!
Yes, it’s a weird fetish fantasy.
Siri, show me the televised manifestation of disappointment
As they say in México, TAN TAN!
GODDAMMIT! AT LEAST COVER YOU SATAN BUTTHOLES!
lol
More proof we’re all in The Bad Place
I bet all those NASCAR drivers like the rap music.
The Mac Miller hologram was unavailable
I do kind of wonder where the “Christian Rap” genre fits in with the NASCAR crowd
Andy Reid is the fifth dimension.
A true corpulent savant, far beyond our mortal comprehension.
He’s beyond time. Already a 10-time super bowl winner in that place.
A rib eating beer swilling chicken wing consuming SAVANT!
C’MON Andy Reid.
Metaphorically.
KC will never get the ball back. Unless NE somehow misses the FG.
I’m thinking that the KC D might be a bit gassed and now it’s headed back out onto the field.
I’d like to point out, Andy only had 1 timeout left on that drive. He’s still gonna Andy this game.
Great to see all the Massholes giving Hill the finger as he reached the back of the endzone. #MAGA.
Giving the finger is a sign of respect in Southeast Massachusetts.
IT’S THE BIGGEST FINGAH RIGHT? WELL DAHKIES ARE WELL ENDOWED!
Great, but, with over three minutes left? We know how this ends. I’ll continue drinking.
Obligatory “TOO MUCH TIME!”
This shit is insane.
They left so much fucking time on the clock.
“Whachoo mean?”
–Andy Reid
Holy Fuck.
Huh. I guess that was an option too.Go for 2 now and fail, Andy. It’s in your DNA.
Well, the rest of the AFC West sucks, so yeah these two teams will probably meet again…
Jesus, someone give me hundreds of thousands of dollars to state the obvious.
