Now comes the hard part for this franchise. You thought leapfrogging New England and finally winning a Super Bowl was a monumental feat? Now it gets even bigger and tougher. There have been 41 Super Bowl champions. Only eight have repeated. It's been even more difficult in the salary cap era, with two teams repeating in 13 years.

Are you for real? It's hard to repeat?

Damn.. I should have asked '05 Pitt, '02 Tampa Bay, '00 Ravens, '99 Rams, '96 GB.. yeah.. you get it.

It's hard to win a Super Bowl and, yes, it's hard to repeat. But historically speaking, you're better off being the defending champion than being any other randomly selected team.

yes, let's just say it's a GREAT problem to have

I mean, after all, should we NOT root for the Patriots to win it this year because it will be tough to repeat in '08?

Looked like fans talking about they're favorite team to me.

No different than the "Will Brady hit 50?" thread here.

And if we win in '07 and '08, I'd be very worried about '09.

That was just a delayed repeat in 03.
