Patriots fan fires back at Jets, Goodell by flying banner of his own (PHOTO)

And the AFC East banner wars begin.

A Maine man countered the New York Jets group who flew a "Cheaters Look Up!" banner over the New England Patriots training camp last week, by hiring a plane to fly a banner over NFL commissioner Roger Goodell’s vacation home in Scarborough with the message "Comm. Goodell Jet Home To N.Y."


Richard Pate of Biddeford, Maine, wouldn't say how much it cost, but insisted it was worth every penny to poke Goodell after he gave Brady a four-game suspension.


And take a jab at the Jets banner as well.


"I went over to [a pilot] and asked if he'd be willing to fly a banner, and he was more than happy to ..." Pate told WCSH6. "You know, the irony is I don't remember the Jets winning many Super Bowls, maybe one back in the 60s."

While Goodell's home is under police surveillance, Pate said he hopes to fly the banner again on Sunday or Monday.

Colts hang 'AFC Finalist' banner at Lucas Oil Stadium, get ridiculed by Internet

The Indianapolis Colts decided to commemorate their 45-7 AFC title game loss to the Patriots by hanging an "2014 AFC Finalist" banner at Lucas Oil Stadium this week.





And, if hanging up a banner that will remind you of a 38-point beat-down every time your team plays at home wasn't bad enough, the Twitter trolls had a field day.




In the Colts' defense, this isn't the first time they've hung up an "AFC Finalist" banner, it's just the first time they've done it in the social media era when people could make fun of it. Here's a look at the banners from 1995 and 2003.
