ESPN Senior Writer Ian O’Connor published an entertaining article over the weekend regarding the 16-year dynasties of both the New England Patriots (2001-2016) and the Yankees (1996-2011). O’Connor kept each time frame to 16 years to provide as accurate a comparison as possible.
O’Connor went into great detail comparing different players and events of each dynasty, from Tom Brady vs. Derek Jeter to the Tuck Rule play vs. the Jeffrey Maier play. In the end of what was a very fun read, O’Connor gives the ever-so-slight edge to the Pats. Well, I can’t just sit here and let the greatest dynasty in recent memory be dwarfed by a dynasty from New England of all places.
