由Gonk第四节受伤想起的。
Beloved locally, Patriots are villains elsewhere
Why do other fans hate the Patriots?
By Gary Dzen
The Patriots have plenty of support here in New England, but even devout
fans of the team know that the Patriots are not exactly popular elsewhere.
In fact, it seems like everywhere else, people are rooting against the
Patriots. Ravens safety Bernard Pollard, whose team lost to the Patriots in
the AFC Championship, recently said that he hopes the Giants “put a
thrashing on the Patriots.” He’s not alone, and perceptions of the team as
arrogant and willing to bend the rules are widespread. We Take a look at
just why the Patriots have so many detractors:
1. They’re perceived as cheaters
Coach Bill Belichick will never escape the stigma after the team was caught
taping opponents’ signals in 2007. Belichick was fined the NFL-maximum $500
,000, and the team lost a first-round draft pick. Belichick broke a rule
during Spygate, but now he’s perceived as someone who breaks rules often.
The latest accusation came from Ravens fans who accused the Patriots of
manipulating the scoreboard to confuse Baltimore’s offense and rush their
kicker. (Ravens coach John Harbaugh dismissed the theory as “nonsense.”)
The league said it will not investigate the incident, but the perception is
that Belichick has something to do with it.
2. They dink and dunk -- sort of
Pollard complained of the Patriots’ “dinking and the dunking,” which he
said was “just not going to happen” against the Giants. That’s in
reference to the Patriots’ reliance on short passes to tight ends Rob
Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez and to wide receivers Wes Welker and Deion
Branch. But each of them is capable of making a big play, and they often do.
What Pollard is likely referring to is the fact that the Patriots win with
offense more often than not, and that’s earned them a reputation as a
finesse team. In essence, Pollard was voicing the opinions of many of the
league’s defensive players by saying, “We should be able to beat these
guys.”
3. They run up the score
This is the NFL -- not high school -- so running up the score on other
professional athletes should not involve hurt feelings. But Belichick often
leaves Tom Brady in games until the bitter end, including during a 34-3 win
over the Chiefs earlier this season. Brady finished that game and even
rushed for a first down on fourth-and-1 late in the fourth quarter.
Belichick will say that every live snap is a learning opportunity -- and he
’s right -- but everyone knows that’s how the Patriots operate.
4. They’re smug
Team policy in Foxborough is to make life miserable for reporters covering
the team, and players and coaches alike are good at staying on message. That
means players say very little, even when their opponents say a lot. The few
exceptions -- such as Brady suggesting fans imbibe before a game -- can
turn into big incidents, thus the silence. While the policy can be effective
, it can also come across as smug to opposing teams and fans.
5. Their coach is dismissive
Belichick is a master of saying nothing, exemplified by his use of the
phrase “it is what it is.” Eager reporters coming to Foxborough to cover
the team often find that their well-intentioned questions are met with
disdain, and sometimes with ridicule. Belichick may just be “doing his job,
” but to people outside the organization it comes off as arrogance.
6. Their quarterback is pretty
Brady’s had a fairly nice life. In addition to being a quarterback who’s
won three Super Bowls, he married one of the most beautiful women in the
world in Gisele Bundchen, with whom he has a son. Brady was already seen as
a pretty boy, and his picture-perfect family only adds to that image. Brady
and Bundchen are each paid at the top of their fields, making them among the
richest celebrities in the world. There’s bound to be some jealousy there.
7. They win
Let’s cut to the chase: The main reason the Patriots are so disliked by the
rest of the country is that they win, plain and simple. They’ve won three
Super Bowls since 2001 and took an undefeated season into a fourth before
losing to the Giants in 2008. They were 14-2 last season and 13-3 this
season. Like many great winners in sports -- the Yankees, Celtics, and
Lakers -- they’re hated because people are jealous of their success.
8. All Boston teams are winning
New England teams have had an unprecedented run of success in the last
decade-plus. In the last 12 seasons, Boston teams have made 12 trips to the
final four of their respective sports, and they’ve made 10 trips to the
championship game, with seven titles between the big four teams. The
Patriots won three Super Bowls during that time, but their most recent
championship in 2004 actually gives them the longest title drought in the
city. If Boston teams keep winning, their fans will need to be able to
handle the criticism.
