Kiwi Bills fan Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 Argh, Here I am, living on the other side of the world from the US, on an island in the South Pacific. This is a land of Rubgy, where american football is called, "Gridiron" and is shown at 5:00 am on Monday mornings. No one knows the rules or even any of the teams in the NFL. Anyway, I was just told that my employer, Nelson City Council, just hired another american last week. I thought I'd go downstairs this morning and introduce myself to the new guy and see if he needs any help settling in. What do I see on his desk??? A F'ing New England Patriots coffee mug!
silvermike Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 Three championships in five years. Anyone with a Pats mug is a fairweather fan unless proven otherwise.
Kiwi Bills fan Posted September 26, 2006 Author Posted September 26, 2006 Nah, he's a fan alright. He already rubbed in their win over us in week one. Three championships in five years. Anyone with a Pats mug is a fairweather fan unless proven otherwise. 786530[/snapback]
Guffalo Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 Nah, he's a fan alright. He already rubbed in their win over us in week one. 786536[/snapback] Did you pee in his coffee cup yet?
Nanker Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 Did you pee in his coffee cup yet? 786546[/snapback] Better yet - the old 1-2!
DCBongo Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 It amazing where all these Pats fans came from. Prior to their first SB win, I never met a Patsy fan, and I live in Connecticut.

It's almost as bad as the UCONN bandwagon -- but at least that is our state! And you'll notice of course that you will never....EVER....see old style Pats gear in our fair weather state.

True that on the UCONN stuff - I got sucked into it in 1990 and developed a lifelong hatred for Duke in the process.
Alaska Darin Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 Ask him if he knows who Tony Collins is.
UConn James Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 You could run an entire Chinese factory just to meet the demand for the bandwagon asshats from CT buying Pats stuff.

And ditto on the UConn stuff (especially Starter jackets, usually soiled). It kind of cheapens it for those us us who actually went to the U.
BEAST MODE BABY! Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 If he's a real Pats fan, he'll dig up his old Steve Grogan jersey.
Mark Vader Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 Ask him if he knows who Tony Collins is. 786740[/snapback] Hell, ask him if he remembers Dick McPherson & Rod Rust.

Mike formerly from Florida Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 Hell, ask him if he remembers Dick McPherson & Rod Rust. 786782[/snapback] Ask him if he knows what the "just give it to'em " game is?
