Without a doubt, Patriots fans have become the most annoying and arrogant fans in sports. Where will they go when the Patriots fail to win the Superbowl? Most have become absolutely convinced of their team's invincibility. From the sounds of it, the Pats may never lose again, at least not while Tom Brady is under center and BB is calling the shots (or should I say directing?).
Okay, I'll bite: why are Pats fans any more annoying than any other fans of a great team? 90's-00's Yankee fans are awful. Cowboy fans in the 90s were awful. Bulls fans in the 90s were awful, Laker and Celtic fans in the 80s, etc. And don't forget the most arrogant fans of all: 1972 Dolphins fans.
I'm a Pats fan, so I'll claim bias. I also am a realist. It wouldn't surprise me if the Colts beat the Pats in the playoffs this year. The teams seem to be built in an almost 180 degree design from each other earlier this decade. For once, bad weather in NE would hurt the Pats vs. the Colts. Most of the Pats fans I know feel the same way.
Of course, should we beat the NYG tomorrow and then win the Super Bowl, then you have yet to see arrogant, and with cause.
