Welcome back Patjew......and i think this is actually similar to the discussion that came up about when the millenium started and ended. Y2K got all the hype because of the computer issues, but it wasn't the end of the 20th century. The 20th century ended when we finished the 100th year of the century, 12 31/2000.

Thanks.

Yeah, it's really a nerd thing to have mentioned this. But I yam what I yam.

While Pat Jews analysis has some valid points, it is not any more or less correct than saying the decade began January 1, 2000 because in fact there was no year 1 and the calender was not developed until much later.

As the vast majority of people consider the beginning of the 21st century to be 1/1/2000. And as most sports writers (ESPN, SI, AP, NFLN,etc) will most likely go with 2000-2009 as the period of discussion we should too.

Perhaps, but don't forget that the Pats sucked in 2000, so our argument is stronger my way.

But I actually don't care about this argument. All I want are Super Bowls.
