....at least it used to be.
Remember when the Patriots got caught spying on the Jets?
Remember when Bruce Bowen tried to blow out Amare's ankle by stomping on it? Remember when Horry checked Nash into the boards and Amare got suspended?
Remember when the Patriots beat the Colts, or the Chargers, or a whole bunch of other teams who were fun to watch and even brought a bit of innovation to the game?
Remember when the Spurs beat the Suns, or Dallas, or Golden State, or a whole bunch of teams in the West who were fun to watch and occaisonally did something nobody had seen before?
Remember when the Patriots won a bunch of championships by being consistent, boring, and ruthless, and by taking all the fun out of an otherwise spectacular sport?
Remember when the Spurs did the same thing?
And as you look at the slimy Patriots wriggle out of their weekday cave and offer a perfunctory, arrogant apology before slinking back to concoct some other despicable way to win games, do you remember the last time you hated a professional sports franchise this much?
I do. It was June, 2007.
