I started following the Patriots since the snow game before their first Super Bowl win -- over 15 years.
And yet, the Patriots were the #4 team on the web sites of the Globe and Herald.
CBS and FOX showed Giants games ahead of Patriots whenever possible.
NFL in Massachusetts was like the MLS is today.
It wasn't until Brady's 3rd Super Bowl that MA media started listing the Patriots first.
It took time for Massachusetts to accept that Patriots reached the final game 4 of 9 years (97-05) back then, just like the NE Revolution reached the finals about 4 times.
I was barely into my teens when the Patriots began winning their first three Super Bowls 01' - 05'. I had no idea that football was still that obscure in Massachusetts LOL
