It seemed like every team I picked always had a Black cloud over them. It was like I jinxed them. lol-
One year I picked the Houston Oilers because they were playing against the Bills in the AFC wildcard game... need I say more? All of you old enough to have suffered with the Pats during the early 90's know what happened in that game!  Argghhh!! I think I just rekindled some of my old HATRED for those Bills just thinking about it!!! I guess I can relate to what fans of the other teams in our division are feeling right now.

I remember sitting back at the beginning of the second half of that game, relishing watching the Bills lose, wondering if the Oilers could run up the score even more. Unbelievable, and like you said, indicative of life for Pats fans at the time. Sports fans always hate teams who continue to succeed, especially in the age of parity. Who else besides the Pats and Colts have had winning records every year since 2001?
