you assume someone has to be jealous to hate.
why the fluff is a canadian a patriots fan anyways? i bet you were a bulls fan in the 90s, and a yankees fan in the early 2000s too.
i had a friend that was born and raised in NC, and he was a cowboys, Yankees, and Lakers fan. you are one of those people arnt you?
1) Jealousy AND hate; they can be mutually exclusive
2) I've been a fan of the Pats since Robert Kraft bought them back in like 95 -- they had that end-of-season run and I was hooked. That was also when I started getting into football.
For completeness,
Baseball -> Blue Jays (I was at games in the 92/93 seasons where they won it all :D I still have commemorative cups in my parent's basement!)
Basketball -> Raptors (I don't follow basketball, but I'm a wellwisher toward them)
Hockey -> Go Leafs Go!
Unlike morons like your friend (TBH, you don't need to hide yourself behind the "my friend" tag), I just cheer for the teams I cheered for as a kid. I still do to this day. Sometimes it works out well (Patriots), sometimes it works out poorly (Leafs).
Anyway, continue being butt hurt about Superbowl XXXVIII if you like. We all know that's what this is about. :p
