Soxaholix takes a break from chronicling the post-post-season collapse of the Red Sox organization to deal with the "no respect Patriots" meme. You'd think a two-time defending Super Bowl champion that had just set a record for postseason wins and beaten the spread in virtually every playoff game could not possibly get under-respected... but Hart makes a compelling case that a good number of sportswriters still think the Patriots aren't that good.

America: beware. We will continue to win Super Bowls until you finally give us the respect we're due. And fear not, ye brave Patriots, history shall vindicate you mightily.
