Is there anything more pathetic than a Bama fan who also pulls for the Patriots?

I don't understand it either. The two teams literally have nothing in common besides winning a lot and Saban and Belichick being on the same coaching staff eons ago. Saban and Belichick's offensive philosophy couldn't be any more different. Can you imagine a Saban-coached team winning their biggest game of the year with almost as many pass attempts (50) as rushing yards (57) like the Patriots did against the Seahawks last year? In three of their last five playoff games, the Patriots had more than 3x as many pass attempts as they did rushing attempts. Plus Belichick is a scumbag who has been involved with all kinds of shady shenanigans and loves to run up the score. When's the last time an opposing team said anything negative about the conduct of Saban and the Bama FB team after a game? Even their biggest rivals never say anything negative about Bama unlike the way opposing teams continuously complain about the Patriots.
