When our teams win a few it's Hooray, and we hope for continuing success. When another team actually has it happen, 8 AFC championship appearances in a row, we all like, "yeah I'm sick of them." Lol.

It's possible to hold two seemingly opposing thoughts in your mind at one time. You can appreciate what they've done, be glad you witnessed it, but still be sick of them. I mean, a big part of why we watch and enjoy any sport is because of the beauty of the competition. When one team is that great/dominant for that long, it makes it less competitive, like everyone else is playing for second place, particularly in the AFC. I don't see any conflict at all between appreciating what the Patriots have done and still being a "Patriot's hater"... I think if you don't have a pretty specific reason to be a fan of theirs, it's almost obligatory...
