I'm just so glad to finally, finally be out from under 19 years of Patriots, Belichick, Tom Brady domination.

I don't care if the Tampa Bay and New England wins were due to Tom Brady aging and moving on to another team or the Patriots no longer having the talent for Belichick to work with anymore or that Cam Newton chews mint-colored gum during a game. Whatever, I'm just glad that they don't "have our number" and own us anymore. I have been waiting to shed them all like a dirty blanket for 19 YEARS. A win over Brady, Belichick and the Patriots after all this time is absolutely freeing.
