Lisa Guerrero, now blogging for the LA Times, had some choice words this week for fans of her former employer, the New England Patriots, as they struggle through the Matt Cassel era in Foxboro: "And they give L.A. fans a hard time for not staying to the bitter end.
I, of all people, should not be surprised. From 1992 to 1994, I was the director of entertainment for the Patriots.
Believe me, those bleak years were anything but entertaining. Back then, they played at Foxboro Stadium...in front of maybe 20,000 fans, best known for urinating off the upper terrace and assaulting women in the dirt parking lot. In other words, this was a drunken, dirty, obnoxious crowd.
I don’t mean that in a good way.
Those fans were an embarrassment. The team stunk -- 6-10 in 1991 and 2-14 in 1992 -- and there wasn't a lot to cheer about. Remember Dick MacPherson? Exactly.
But isn't that when true fans continue to show up ... and know how to use the indoor plumbing?
Well, exit Hugh Millen/Scott Zolak and enter Drew Bledsoe/Tom Brady. Guess what? The crowds started showing up again."

Sounds like every other NFL fan experience I've been a part of...except with more people pissing all over themselves.
You are so classy.....Playboy January 2006. Where do you get the right to judge. Get off your high horse.
It's not fair to generalize like that, Big Lis.
Generalizations hurt, shame on you. Go Pats.
I was at those games as a 12 year old kid(scared) and she is right, drunken, dirty, fighting, etc. The games were pretty unbearable sober I don't blame the fans for getting that fd up. Big deal!!
NFL fans drunk and obnoxious...is this a shock. Have you looked at the fans in the stands of any NFL arena? You are a half step removed from Wrestlemania or NASCAR. I doubt they are any more disgusting there than in any other NFL stadium.
what's with the shirt?
She was fired by the Pats, dumped by her boyfriend at the time (Pats QB Hugh Millen) - used to be called Lisa Cole until it was trendy for her to embrace her Hispanic heritage, got fired from MNF because she knows NOTHING about football, and showed how ungracefully she's aging in her Playboy pictorial, which should have been called "The joy of airbrushing". Who cares what this idiot thinks?
Did the old stadium even have indoor plumbing?

I agree, Boston's fans are horrible!
