Forget about the victories, the records, the ongoing quest for perfection. 19-0. Can they do it? As the New England Patriots make their case for historical greatness, one question looms larger still.
Namely, can the Pats become one of the most hated teams of all time?
After all, winning is easy. Just outscore your opponents. Voila! But provoking soul-searing ire? Inspiring frenzied loathing from all sides? Getting millions to tune in for the sole purpose of cheering your prayed-for potential demise?
The Patriots haven't made many friends this season. And that's without mentioning the Baltimore Ravens. But where does New England rank in terms of epochal sports abhorrence? Page 2 breaks it down.
