And Tara will be with me. She doesn't need to see her father get his ass kicked all over the parking lot.
The Pats rank higher on the hatability scale, definitely, but it has more to do with the cheating than the Superbowl loss. The lowest common denominator of fans like to blame McNabb for that one and not the Pats.
In any case, this is a preseason game and an entirely different world... different universe actually. At most you'll get some good-natured razzing, but it'll fade quickly. Alot of fans take this opportunity to bring their younger kids to the game in a more relaxed and calmer atmosphere. I'm bringing my 6-year old. Of course, you could always get some drunk d-bags who can't afford a regular season game going to these games on the cheap, but I don't think you'll get that where you'll be sitting.
