January 19, 2002 the Patriots beat the Oakland Raiders in what will forever be known as the "tuck rule" game.  Chances are good that you are quite familiar with that game and the ruling.  As a Patriots fan I am always reminded of it whenever I read the comments to an article about the Patriots.  No matter how egregious a call is against the Patriots, and there have been many, trolls will always bring up the "tuck rule".  While the following will probably not stop a troll from trolling, they do make you realize how long ago it was.
When the "Tuck Rule" game happened:
    • George W. Bush was in his first term as president
    • LeBron James was a junior in high school
    • Obama represented the 13th district in the Illinois Senate
    • The following shows premiered-
                    CSI Miami (6.4 stars)
                    The Shield (8.8 stars)
                    American Idol (4.2 stars)
                    The Bachelor (2.8 stars)
                    Dr. Phil (3.9 stars)
    • The National debt was 5.8 trillion (it's now 18 trillion)
    • Nokia was the king of cellphones
    • Listerine Breath Strips were invented
      Notable Sports Moments Which Have Happened Since:
      Red Sox have won 3 World Series
