Pat's who?

Yesterday, in my flight outta Denver, on my way to Tampa, there was a loud guy behind me on the plane. He was taking about NFL game scores as he was keeping track over the plane's wifi. 

The guy sitting next to me blurted out "How are the Pat's doing?" 

To which, loud guy rightfully responded, "Pat's who?" 

"The Patriots!"

"Ah, you mean the Deflatriots!", loud guy retorted.  Loud guy is a Colts fan. 

As a reminder, we were on a Denver flight, with a destination somewhere in the South.  New England is nowhere in sight.

Yeah, if you are from New England but aren't in New England, please be careful out there in the wild.
