Totally agree. They were never coming here, but had a lot of people finessed.

Because at the end of the day we are still New England territory and we did not have a professional NFL team before our excitement.

(just my theory, also Brady)

Agreed. My father still bitches about the money he never got back from the season tickets he bought when they were supposed to move to CT.

That's how my dad became a season ticket holder. He bought them first to Yale Bowl games. Probably followed the same mantra as yours in developing his fandom.

Most teams would laugh at the idea of moving to Hartford, so I think it's something that they even considered moving. But I don't blame Kraft. Why move to a a place two hours from the center of your fan base when you have an option much closer? They should have built the stadium west of Worcester, about 1 hr from Boston, Providence, and Hartford. That would have made more sense.

In all seriousness, that was what, 20 years ago? How many people honestly remember that?

Ugh I hate that moment almost more than that thing that happened in 2004.

Even more than 20 years ago! The guy in the video was probably like 14 then.

It's simple. It's because, for a while anyway, they were objectively the best football team that ever took the field.

Look up the word objective.

You know that every year they play a big tournament to find out who the two best teams are right, and then those two teams play each other, and that most of the time, for a while, the Patriots won their league and the bowl, basically nonstop?

I don't know. To a dispassionate observer, isn't that the best team?

Seems like you cannot be objective about this.

That was so long ago and definitely overshadowed by being one of the best dynasties in sports history
