Still waiting...
What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?
The Patriots are football royalty. You know that and the rest of the Patriots haters know that. The Steelers and Cowboys represent the NFL's past, the Patriots represent the present and future.
Winning today is much harder than it was in the 80s and 90s. For that, the Patriots have becomes the "it" franchise.
Bucky only became a fan when the Pats started winning superbowls.
No suprise, that isn't true.
I grew up a Raiders fan but the Patriots won me over with the way they conducted themselves during 9/11. Al Davis was a visionary owner who helped create a more diverse game and fought for civil rights. When he advanced in age he simply lost his way and I could not support him or the Raiders anymore.
It was great timing. I could not tolerate Davis trading away Jon Gruden. The Patriots are the gold standard of the NFL while the Raiders are moving to Las Vegas, drafting players raping women, and run by Al Davis' idiot son.
I didn't root for any teams before the Patriots. They showed me the way and gave me hope after 9/11. They inspired me like no other team has. Tom Brady is my hero.
In the 80's I was a fun of the showtime Lakers and still am a fan of the Lakers. The Yankees provided inspiration - professionalism just like the Patriots.

*Saints, Bears, 49'ers fans are passionate about their teams despite them producing medicore results.

If Tom Brady and Bill Belichick both retired today, how many out of the next 10 seasons would the Pats even make the playoffs?
Would depend on who they replaced them with...
