The New England Patriots are the flag-bearing franchise in the NFL.

Yes.

And we'll get into L.C.

Greenwood not getting into the Hall of Fame and the 70s Steelers and favorite Super Bowl moments and all that fun big-game talk that you're going to get on a Friday show in such a football-loving town as this.

But New England, with a victory, has the most Super Bowl championships of any franchise in the NFL's history, and it legitimizes them as a historical franchise because...

Not that they weren't already, but you could say, oh, it was Belichick and Brady.

With the Steelers, they had won Super Bowls in multiple eras.

The Niners...

They were all a one-shot deal, but the Cowboys, they won it over multiple eras.

If New England does it now, it's just the franchise being great and not those two pillars of the franchise.

And they would stand alone atop the Lombardi mountaintop.

And I freaking hate these guys, man.

You could put my grandma...

In Patriots colors.

My mom, my dad, my sister.

In Patriots colors.

And I would hope that they'd lose by 100.

I will never like this franchise.

And it's because of what they've taken from us, too.

And, look, to the extent that Spygate helped them win in 01, in 04, I don't know the answer to that.
