The game chooses it's champions. This statement doesn't mean that it's fixed, it means that if you DON'T get some good fortune, you don't win 3-4 games in the playoffs, no matter how good you are. It's a simple concept. It chose the Pats three times. Thus they are three time world champions. Worship them if you must, but Bill Belichick is not my lord and savior.

The Patriots are not bigger then the game.

Who is saying Belichick is your lord and savior? Don't say people were suggesting it, just show me where someone said it.

I am not worshipping the Pats. I am simply recognizing that they have done a better job of taking advantage of the oppotunities they have been presented than other teams.

This is nothing but sour grapes. Again, if the Redskins were winning big and all the rage, we're not having this discussion.
