Before I start my article, I want to make something clear to you. I’m maybe the biggest Patriots fan you’ll ever meet. I went to my first game in 1993, when I was 9 years old. My 16th birthday gift, in 2000, was a season ticket, and I’ve been to almost every home game since. When I was in college, my dad would pick me up from Worcester on Friday night and drive me back on Sunday night so that I could go to the games. So, question my loyalty all you want, and call me a fake fan.
