It’s crazy to think that we are less than two months away from it being five years since the New England Patriots shocked the entire country and came back to defeat the Atlanta Falcons after falling into a 25-point hole.

‘FEA’ stands for ‘Fuck em all.’
The New England Patriots were easily the most disliked team at that time after dealing with deflategate, so naturally, everybody was rooting against them.

“‘FEA’ means ‘Fuck ‘em all,’ man. They ain’t cheering for you, anyway, so you may as well go out there and win. We’re going to try and please everybody and get everyone to like us by losing. Fuck that. We’re gonna fuck ‘em all.” – Tom Brady, Episode 7 of “Man in the Arena”
