Who has the best reason for intensely disliking the Patriots?

I vote for Ricky Proehl.

Two different times he caught TD passes in the closing minutes of a Super Bowl.

Both times the Pats came back to win.

Probably cost him several mil in potential endorsements.

Any other candidates?

Of course, Warner was actually a good QB, too.

The Pats must be more likeable than even I thought, unless you ARE Ricky Proehl.
