I have been a Patriots fan since 1993. I’m 37 now. I was 14 when we started winning, and I was 32 when we stopped. I got so used to winning that I would leave my Christmas tree up until February because I knew we would have a deep run or win it all. I never felt like we were out of a game as long as Tom was under center. The nail-biters, the losses in the playoffs to the Ravens and Broncos, always sucked. If we didn’t win another game until I died, I would still die a happy man. I will always be a Patriots fan regardless of the record, and I will forever be grateful for the pain they inflicted on the league.

Sorry about being a Raider's fan; I grew up around Oakland back in the Plunkett/Stabler (the Snake) days and they were so great to watch and re-enact all week the key plays in our nerf football games but doomed to choke in the playoffs. After their first trade down south they became the Traiders and I could never root for them again.

The Patriots Dynasty:

Signing Aaron Hernandez to a killer deal is crazy

New England Patriots (2001-19):

Bernard Pollard was like Randy Orton to the Pats. Just coming out of nowhere and RKOing their key players to the afterlife. I'll bet he even stood up and shouted "BONECRUSHER!" before sprinting off the field and into the shadows

So glad you mentioned hightowers play on lynch before the butler pick. It was incredible but is often understated

Will probrably never see another 20-Year dynasty like the Patriots ever again in this timeline. It's almost incomprehensible how dominant they were for so long
