The reason it never gets old is that each season is a whole new journey that is a lifetime all its own.  By the time the SB rolls around, the joy is still there.

And, maybe even more importantly, the Pats have lost some of those SB's, so none of them is ever a given.  And the ten points they won by tonight was the biggest margin of victory, so they usually don't get decided until the end.
