This feels like a good time for me to give my personal view on sports championships. I've always considered a team having a right to a championship in any sport to be 1 year out of however many teams there are, so in the nfl it would be 1 out of every 32 years I consider a team to be "past due" given perfect parity.

The pats were founded in 1959, so 60 years ago. So if we're generous, we'll say the pats have a right to 2 superbowls.

They have 6. Which not only covers the 2 they're entitled to, but also 4 more sets of 32 years that they should not go with a championship (imo). In other words, the pats have won so much within the last 2 decades, that means that a whole generation of people and some others as well should go from birth to death without seeing their team hoist the trophy, because people like granzon got to experience 6.

Just be grateful for what you've had, and have some perspective. I get that you (granzon) feel like there could have been even more success, and you're probably right. But no matter how successful, no fan should "expect" his team to win the super bowl every single year, that's just not how sports are built. Your team's prior success doesn't give you some sort of moral highground to to expect a win all the time. It's just unreasonable. If what the pats have done isn't good enough for you, that's not the pats problem, it's yours.
