    Just wondering who New England fans follow other than the pats.

    Well....I live in N. Carolina now, so I am trying to build up a tolerance for the Panthers.  Many in New England were brought up with the Giants, before the Pats came around.  Thankfully, with the Krafts, it looks like we won't have to worry about that! :)

    All other teams are cannon fodder for the Pats.

    If I have to start rooting for the Vikings it's gonna get ugly up in here.

    I remained a Pats fan even when they moved to Foxborough from Boston and changed their name to New England Patriots, so I guess I would still be a Pats fan if they moved somewhere like LA.  However, if Kraft were to move them to London, that would put a huge strain on my loyalty.

    I have lived in Tampa for 11 years now, and I am just starting to warm up to the Bucs a little.   At last they have a real offense with a good young QB and some exciting skill players.

    Can't root for the Rays or Lightning at all.

    Lmao!  Seriously...

    But alright, say you HAVE to...  And, in the case of NE- In the case, of The Patriots being entirely dismantled (a case where they actually went nowhere)...  I'd either go Oakland (as I did somewhat as a kid before the age of 10...A time period splitting my loyalties towards the Patriots from my 1976 birth to seeing them, and fully growing to love only them, by say 1984 & then on).  Ya had ta like the toughness & sorta anti-establishment/non-good guys Raiders as a kid.  Also, this was before Al Davis had died, and re-risen in his currently insane zombie state.  Likewise, "No Patriots anywhere", and I guess I'd simply bide my time with Oakland svcking still, until Al Davis died for a final & last time at the hands of some kinda supernatural demon hunters group.  IF Oakland moves to LA...uh-uh=No Deal...it's off.  I'm not sure I could face myself in the mirror, knowing that I was dedicated to the same cause that Paris Hilton or someone like her, was currently also, at least, ostensibly following...  I'd go for The Ravens....they play smash-mouth, simply try to punish & enforce your will on the other team (winning is incidental).  In either case, I'd want Oakland or Baltimore to svck for at least 2-3 Seasons, just to root some people out.

    Buffalo Bills.

    I'm rooting for them to do well this year too as they signed a great guy from the 603 named Rich Lapham...I wish so bad we had drafted him since I think he'll be great.

    I guess I'd have to keep it real, and stay local...  Limited options in upper Ct, so Hockey it is, I suppose.  See noone ever gives them 1 bit of respect, and noone even goes to their games, But really- Us Connecticut had better start to, or else 1 day The Whalers might up and move, and we wouldn't know just how good it was to have them here, b/c we'd never showed enough appreciation FOR the whale, until it was already too late...

    Wow even as a "hypothetical" this is tough. LOL I really don't even want to think about this to much. If they moved it would be gut-wrenching , but i would still root for them , wherever that is ... please not fukin L.A. LMF AO. As far as me choosing another team , it just wouldn't happen. There's no way i could really get behind one , at least not right now. Who knows maybe in the future. Anyway id probably root for a few teams. Im sure we all had our favorite players growing up , besides Patriot players. I absolutely loved the Sanders brothers and Greg Llyod growing up. So i guess it would be Detroit , Pitt. Prime was a paid assassin , maybe the best ever , but did bounce around a lot. LOL And theres no way i could ever root for the cowboys.

    Been a patriot fan since 84.
    SB second year  of being a fan.. wooot wooot.. then as "real Pat fans" know.. a lot of bad years, some okay years.. SB vs GB..followed by mediocre and bad years.. then BB and TB..Didn't matter..I was a fan.

    MY POINT IS... THEY CAN MOVE TO SOMALI.. BUT THEY WILL ALWAYS BE MY TEAM.. location or success of record means NOTHING..

    I can't imagine rooting for any other team.  I'll always be a Patriots fan.  Living here in Pittsburgh, I love the passion and desire Steeler fans have and...scr*w their team. 

    Pats forever!
