After I got the hang of things I became a pats fan since both he and my grandfather (passed away) were pats fans. And stuck with them ever since.
Even when they have "off" years I don't let it get to me. I consider those resting years. And like Barkley said, a pats "bad" year is still p. much better than most teams in the league, so eh, not that stressful to me.
