We knew that readership in Singapore was huge but now this. We've hit the big time with a veiled reference by XX1090 hosts Scott Kaplan and Billy Ray Smith. Let's not get too carried away. The reference was not by name and was more out of mock disgust and annoyance but hey....what do you expect?
Last week, we here at HATE, were working with XX1090 listener Zino on trying to come up with a good top ten list for why the Chargers' fans should be amped about playing the Patriots. It didn't quite work out though as the Chargers were defeated by the Phish so we went ahead and posted our own version of The Top Ten List last week.
Well, this morning marked the return of Zino's Top 10 (Top Ten Reasons the Chargers Creamed the Patriots) and before his well oiled and thickly accented recitation Zino mentioned that he had a fellow listener who collaborated with him (This Top 10 was all Zino by the way). We believe it went something like this:
Zino: "I had help from a listener....there's this guy who also has a blog and it's dedicated to hating the Patriots."
Scott: "Yea.....we know... there's a few of those out there."
BR: "Hmmm...yea we get his emails."
It was sheer annoyance coupled with disgust from Scott and BR. We also sensed additional indignation from the daily strafing of email reminders sent to their show to promote our drivel. That's what we took from it anyway....we laughed though....and so will you, as Zino has promised to email us the mp3 link of the radio bit. You'll have to be the judge.
Which brings us to the next order of business. Are we Charger fans or Patriot haters? While the two are not mutually exclusive it goes without saying that our allegiance is with the Chargers and tracking their season...not that of the Patriots.
The last three months have been part of a mass marketing campaign to hype the match-up, that was to be Three parts Vengeance (past 3 defeats) and One part History (ending the Pat's 23 game regular season winning streak). Unfortunately that recipe unraveled with the injury to Brady and the Charger's inauspicious start. But none the less, the game took on a whole new meaning when it looked as though our season was on the line especially when considering the arduous road journey in store for the Chargers over the next two weeks.
The blog is up and running and it was inspired by the Charger/Patriot match-up. It has a URL devoted to hating the Patriots but make no mistake about where our true passions emanate. We hate the Patriots but love American symbols of patriotism.
(Patriot fans just think that patriotism stems from following their team)

We are , foremost, Charger and Padre fans who have been tortured through-out time. The torture has only become greater with the increased expectations of each professional club only to have those expectations collapse before us each season. Our expectation is that the torture will subside this year. The Chargers are alive and have a chance.........at immortality!
We must now champion the Patriots this coming Monday night....they get the Donkeys at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass....it hurts but we need a strong effort (Bill... feel free to borrow the Spycam off of our logo...get an edge).
(We will do a couple more things at the expense of the Patriots this week....such as "Express yourself through Haiku" and "Forum Crashing with Morons for Morons" then the focus of this blog will shift, primarily to the torture that is San Diego Fanhood.
It is a torture we embrace as nirvana is just around the Bodhi (Palm) Tree.
For those who have supported....CHEERS!
To those who have said, "Get a life!", we say,....."YOU FIRST!"
What are you doing spending your time reading retarded blogs like this anyway? That's like a Face Painter at a game calling a Body Painter, a LOSER! Pot meet kettle!)
