If it's two days after the Super Bowl, it must be time for a New England Patriots' parade.
OK, it's not an every-year occurrence, but it has been an every-other-year thing over the last five seasons.
The Patriots are coming off a 13-3 triumph over the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LIII, and while the game may not go in the time capsule as an example of pro football played at it's highest level, the Patriots and their fans don't care.
The Patriots, who were almost certainly the saddest sack in the original American Football League in the 1960s, and a hard-luck team that lost almost every big game it played until the 1980s, have become the the NFL's elite franchise.
