For those who don't know, I used to be a Browns fan
I was born in England, and lived in Cleveland during my Junior High/High School years. So I was a Browns fan. I was one of the few who liked Belichick when he was there - thus, BelichickFan
When the Browns moved I found a new team. The Patriots were my wife's favorite team and as Belichick went to NE, it fit as I'd been rooting for them as my second team anyway. When Belichick went to NY I stuck with the Pats, I have an addictive personality and was a hard core fan after just that one year.
When Belichick came back, it was perfect and the circle had been completed. It is like it was meant to be.
Funny story #1 - the reason my wife was a Patriots fan was she saw highlights when they won their first game one season when **** McPherson was the HC - he was so happy they actually won that he almost tackled a player. She felt sorry for them and picked them as her team. Women
Funny story #2 - when the Browns and Patriots played in 1994 in the playoffs I was still a Browns fan. We were dating at the time and I told her she could only come over to watch with me if she didn't cheer when the Patriots scored.
Funny story #3 - By the start of the 1995 opener when the Patriots beat the Browns we were married. My family was up visiting and I told her it would be her against the Whites (my last name is White). She had to remind me she was a White now too
I was seriously upset when Curtis Martin had that breakout first game. One year later the Browns were gone and I was a Pats fan.
My wife's Christmas present this year is a Troy Brown jersey - you can't ask more than that from a wife . . .
