Once again.

Once again, newsdroids, please listen up:

The New England Patriots won Super Bowls in 2002, 2004 and 2005.
The correct way to express this is "Three championships in four years."
The incorrect way to express this is "three-peat."
I am sure Tampa Bay would be quite irked to hear that their 2003 win somehow doesn't count.


Your pal,

PS: Oh, and "Dynasty" was a show starring John Forsythe and Joan Collins. Hope this helps.
PPS: Actually, the incorrect way to express anything is "three-peat" because it's incredibly stupid, even when appropriate.
PPPS: You knobs.

Back when Pete Sampras was trying for his third Wimbledon win, he told the papers he was aiming for a "three-peat". That wouldn't be acceptable from Billy-Bob Sampras, say, but from Pete Sampras it seems okay.

I think it was acceptable when it was the Jays winning the World Series, too, 'cause once and twice were already exceptional circumstances. Although in honour of the national pastime they really should have said they were trying for a "hat trick".
