Some people just don’t get it.
The New England Patriots have dominated the NFL for nearly two decades, and their incredible consistency really is unparalleled in North American sports. Despite that, some refuse to give credit where credit is due.
Shawne Merriman apparently is one of those people.
The former NFL linebacker apparently wasn’t impressed by the Patriots victory against the Buffalo Bills on Saturday. But Merriman didn’t resort to the tired “cheating” narrative — no, he offered something even dumber.
“Luckiest team in the league,” he tweeted.
Luckiest team in the league

First of all, any player or team that’s successful needs some luck along the way. That’s just the way it is.
But suggesting the Patriots’ success is a product of luck really is profoundly stupid. Perhaps Merriman still is bitter about what the Patriots did to the Los Angeles Chargers in 2006.
