the colts are more likable than the pats because of stuff like they did today.
Peyton manning was pulled midway thru the third, if it was pats he would have been pulled midway thru the FOURTH.
it was a fourth down play, 4th and 6 at the baltimore ravens, instead of kicking a field goal or going for it, they PUNT it. something pats wouldn't do.
no disrespect to the pats, cause their an AMAZING team, but these are the reasons why the pats aren't liked very much.. <-- which honestly who cares if they like them... they can go 19-0 and no ones like them, and what does that matter?

i'm not crying, i'm answering to people who always ask why do people hate the pats soo much.. and that is why..
it's up to the defense to stop them, that is true. I agree with that 100%... but sportsmanship plays a big part on who's liked and who's not.

Mia, no.. 2 years ago the colts werew 13-0 and no one hated them NEARLY as much as the pats are hated on now. when Peyton Manning was having the career year in 2004, not many were saying someone's gonna get frustrated and hurt him... but they do think that a lot now about T. Brady.

honestly I never wanna see a team go undefeated, just cause they'd be considered best ever... and to me there's no such thing... it's like trying to decide who the best rapper is, is it 2pac, is it Rakim, is it Nas, is it Eminem, is it Biggie? it's a matter of opinion.

Andrew I agree, and did you see how Brady got up in the face of smith after they scored that touchdown...
that's a classless thing to do...

One more thing, have you ever heard Brady says this:
It means I've had great players to throw to. There's not a day that's gone by that I've not been appreciative of the protection I've had and just some outstanding targets, guys who've caught all these passes

It's up to the defense to stop the offense so why is everyone crying because they can't?

Good points about being liked, and the irrelevance of that. ESPN had a poll about whether people want to see the Patriots go undefeated. The results nationwide were about 60-40 against the Patriots. Only the 6 New England states were in favor of the Patriots. They clearly are not "America's Team" like the Cowboys in the early 90s. If I were not a Patriots fan, which almost by definition makes me hate the Colts, I would still hate Peyton Manning because he is in so many commercials. Mastercard, Sprint, Tampax whatever, he's in it.

Is this a question or a statement?
I'm like a flea to a bugzapper with the Patriots. I know I should hate them, but I keep flying towards the light.
Colts--they're more likeable because they've been beaten twice. Guarantee if they were undefeated they would also be the most hated team. Probably even more so, cause they're the defending SB champs.

I admit, in terms of going celebrity, Payton Manning run up score vs Tom Brady. Just count how many TV commercials Payton Manning's face can be seen.
But for QB job, no doubt Tom Brady is a lot better than Payton Manning.

Because the Pat's coach and "star" Brady are both ******* on and off the field. They only care about themselves and what goes around, will one day come around!

true to what you said, another area is the qb, peyton is more likable/approachable guy versus Brady same can be said about the coach. i hope the pats go undefeated then get blow up at the playoffs.

and you forgot to add the fans
I think we are on question 107 about that Smith guy from Pittsburgh...he said something, your team won the game...stop talking about it....nobody cares
their fans, their coach, their players...no class, and your statement proves it
the patriots could go 19-0, but I think the league and their fans would rather see 31 other teams do it

Colts are more likeable because they horse around a lot more.

NFL teams play to win, not to be liked.
