Has winning spoiled Patriots fans? Judging by the lack of crowd noise Sunday, defensive end Richard Seymour thinks so.
"It's really disappointing," Seymour told the Boston Herald following the Patriots' 16-3 victory over the Jets. "The loudest they ever got was when there was a Victoria's Secret model [Gisele Bundchen] on the scoreboard. They don't know when to cheer. You look up and you see half of the stands empty."
When asked why the Gillette fans were so quiet, Seymour said: "They're spoiled."
I have been to more than a few Patriots home games where the fans are sitting on their hands during critical defensive 3rd down plays almost regardless of the type of game, playoffs or not. I think Seymour has a point but being critical of your fans is usually not a smart move. Thoughts?
I was watching that game yesterday and thought the same thing. That crowd sucked- But it was a shitty, boring game. Seymour has a point, and he's free to speak his mind, but sometimes people need to STFU.
It doesn't take a genius to understand what's happening. Ask Mule fan and they'll tell you basically the same story, that the old mile high was much louder, and gave the team a much better home field advantage.
Why?
Because the NFL has sold out to corporate America.
Those new stadiums are now filled with corporate clients instead of die hard fans, who were mostly priced out except for the upper nose bleed section. And of course many declined to sit up top after supporting their teams in good seats for years.
The NFL is slowly but surely killing itself with its money grubbing ways.
What a surprise.........
It's becoming painfully clear that the leagues true MVP was Pete Rosell.
It's not that they're spoiled, it's just that they are not, traditionally, great football fans. The last few years has improved them, but, the fact remains that chowds are world class baseball fans, but, in the football fan rankings, I'd have to put them somewhere between atlanta and cincinnatti.
Atleast they don't suck as bad as socal NFL fan.
Here's my NFL fan rankings
1. Packerfan, undisputed king of football fans. You goitta be to put up with guaranteed frostbite at homegames after thanksgiving.
2. Raiduh fan. Love'em or hate'em....actually, more like hate'em or really fukkin' hate'em, you have to give raiduh fan his due. Even when the faiduhs are sucking, he will be there, loud and proud committing all manner of felony just as if they we're winning the superbowl.
3. Cleveland. Solid fan, should have killed that POS owner that ran to baltimore in the midle of the night.
4. Steeler fan. Another solid fan who will be there when they suck.
5. Chicago. See steeler fan.
6. Iggle fan. Fuck you, santa.
7. Giant fan. Sold out the swamplands every game for 30 years. Some guys are dieing to get seats, such as jimmy hoffa.
8. Cowgirls. Those fukkers are everywhere, like roaches.
9. Detwat. The fact that anybody goes to there games at all puts them in the top 10.
10. Washington. The only thing worth a damn in that wretched city.
11. Minnesota. You fukkin pussies used to be top 5. Then you put a roof on the joint. This makes you almost as bad as Atlanta, which would still suck even if they didn't have a roof.
12.Chowds. Win another five and you may crack the top ten. But, if the sox win another series, you'll be back battling with Arizona and Seattle.
13.Everybody else
14. sanfrancisco-Fukk you. Even whjen you were winning 27 superbowls in a row, you sucked, you tie dyed berkenstocked faggits. A guy I work with from sacramento was telling me about how much fun it is to go to a niner/faiduh game at the stick and watch the outnumbered faiduh fans absolutely own the place. His best story was about faiduh fan actually pissing on niner fan at the stick. Not sure if they were actually in the head at the time.

What I mean is, he will still be supporting his team while he is stealing some niner fan's volvo. He is not a fair weather fan.

The glaring omission of ChiefFan renders your list absolutely WORTHLESS.
Well, all right then. I guess chief fan gets to bump deadskin fan out of the top ten. Sorry, but, I can't see moving them any higher. It wouldn't be right to Lion fan who deserves all the pity he can get.

Not to mention his exclusion of Bengals fan who were top 10 when Paul Brown was still alive, stayed pretty strong considering the awful decade+ they had, and are back in full force now that Mike Brown finally pulled his head out of his ass and turned the reigns over to a football guy, Marvin Lewis. We easily trump Minnesota and Detroit. No town and hockey town respectively.

Upon review, the call has been modified yet again. Bengal fan does deserve better than to be lumped with the cardinals and rams. Minnesota, goes to the back of the bus, same row as whiner fan. But, you still get choice of window/Isle seat.
But, I still gotta keep Lion fan in the top ten. No, they're not that good of a fan. It's just that the lions are that bad of a franchise and their pathetic fans deserve all the love they can get.
If there's anybody else that should be moved up in the pack, it's prolly houston fan, just cause they got jobbed almost as bad as brown fan did when that fat fukker moved the oilers to nashville.
