congrats
My comment refers to the fact that some posters can remember only the past 10 years or so. Perhaps "teenagers" was the wrong designation.
Many folks here recall the NFL before Brady, before Kraft, and some even from before the merger.

I get it that folks who are recent fans like to demean very weak teams. I think of this as "teenage" behavior. But then, I'm an old man. I can remember when we were the team that was playing late in the season to see who would get the first draft choice. For some this beings some humility, for others, not so much. I recall when Miami beat 15 years in a row in MIA. Squish the Fish was the battle cry.
I realize NE was bad for many years. I've been a fan since 1993, so I did suffer a little, but not as much as other posters. My point is that Miami, TB, and Jacksonville are historically bad franchises - Miami hasn't won anything in nearly 50 years and TB won once off a historically good defense. And yet the NFL continues to pour money into these franchises and make NE and other teams go down there in 100+ degree weather. My comment was more out of frustration than anything. Would anyone miss the Florida teams in this league if they were eliminated?
