When do you think that patriots became the most popular team in all of sports?

Question

What year did it happen 2001-2008

Answer 1

2007 when Tom Brady was on family guy

Answer 2

after they won all three of their super bowls  

Answer 3

I don't think that their the most popular. They kinda hard to root for if ur outside of new england since there so technically sound and have been at the top tier of the nfl for so long. (plus the fact that bill belichick is a complete as a*****e)

Their like the Spurs

Tom Brady is loosly like Tim Duncan

aside from one MVP season their sucess is hard to be excited for since there annoyingly polished

Rodney Harrison is Bruce Bowen

One of the more dirtier players in the game and one of the greater defenders

but for me i laugh when i see that guy get beat deep (I.e. Super bowl catch)

and Randy Moss is Manu Ginobli

the lone bright spot on the team.

Answer 4

The most popular team in all of sports are the New York Yankees and suprisingly the most hated. The Pats are popular in New England but they have a lot of bandwagon jumpers and Brady-c#cksuckers.  

Answer 5

Hate to break it to you, but they're not.  

Answer 6

most popular in NFL was in 2003! most popular in all sports was probably 2005

Answer 7

I dont know about the most popular but I would say the most overrated. And that happened in february 2001 against the St Louis Rams.  Due to the events that transpired at that time when the World Trade Center was attacked You will never convince me any different that Kurt Warner was paid to tank that game on purpose.  you dont become the NFL's greatest QB by numbers and then let some snot nose 4th stringer take that from you.  QB to QB there was never any comparison.  When it comes to the Pats, can you tell me where I can buy a ticket to ride the bandwagon with everyone else?   GO RAMS!!!!

Answer 8

when they went undefeated, how many teams have done that? a friend of mines went to London for Christmas & new years & said BBC was covering New England perfect record & a lot people in England for pulling for them, but i think the English only like them because its the only American sports team to have England in there name

Answer 9

When I couldn't even watch ESPN without hearing about them. Just like a certain football player that shall remain nameless. I would say over the past season with the undefeated record put them on everybody radar and drew them some bandwagon fans.  

Answer 10

I believe the most popular team in sports is the New York Yankees.  

The New England Patriots are popular, no doubt, but they still have a long way to reach Yankee status.  Not a Yankee's or a Patriot's fan.

Answer 11

whatever year they played in the infamous tuck rule game against the raiders

Answer 12

Right around the last time I talked to the Tooth Fairy.

Answer 13

when they started cheating to win those games

Answer 14

Last year, though I don't think they were ever the "Most" popular, they did get alot of attention though.

Answer 15

don't know
