Word started to spread during prime tailgate hours Sunday that the crowd for the afternoon Patriots-Skins game in Landover would be heavily tilted in favor of the road team. By now you don’t need to be told that this has long been a trend at the team’s dismal, far-flung mausoleum of a stadium, but the nadir of fan apathy and alienation has always been out there, waiting to be discovered. We may not quite be there yet, but Sunday appears to be a new low.

UPDATE: This is the most effusive Bill Belichick has ever been about anything:
Tom Brady also loved the pro-Patriots crowd at the Skins’ stadium.
