So this year's Super Bowl in Houston is set -- it'll be the Atlanta Falcons taking on the New England Patriots. Despite your feelings about either team, both are playing well and the matchup should make for a great Super Bowl. This will be the seventh Super Bowl for the Patriots in the Bill Belichick/Tom Brady era. For most football fans, having your team make the Super Bowl is one of the greatest moments in life. Does it even register with Patriots fans how special this is at this point. It has to be like, "Ho-hum, the Pats are playing in another Super Bowl." Seven Super Bowls in 16 years is just crazy. No sports fan should have it this good. There needs to be more suffering involved.
