By now, you’re probably sick to your stomach over watching the New England Patriots return to another Super Bowl.

I know I am.

It doesn’t matter if you now have two weeks of pre-Super Bowl chatter to get more ill. Nor does it matter if the Patriots return with an entirely new cast this time — just replace “Bill Belichick and Tom Brady” in conversation with “Mike Vrabel and Drake Maye.”

Didn’t you think this was over?

Couldn’t all those years of pent-up jealousy at watching the Patriots’ previous 17-year dynasty be followed with some generational pass-the-popcorn pain and misery for us to enjoy?

The only slice of schadenfreude here is Belichick must be enjoying this least of all.

“It’s been seven, long years,’’ said team owner Bob Kraft, looking smug in his high-school letterman’s jacket while noting the time since his previous Super Bowl.

Yes, sure, good for the Patriots. Good for Kraft in knowing how to build. Good for general manager Eliot Wolf in knowing how to draft and spend. Good for the Patriots for not going down the rabbit-hole of the Dolphins’ 26-year-and-counting drought without a playoff win.

Good for them, too, for taking advantage of the NFL’s easiest schedule, an injury-depleted Los Angeles Chargers’ offense in the first round, a mistake-prone Houston quarterback C.J. Stroud in the second round and then a Denver team without starting quarterback Bo Nix in Sunday’s championship game.

What now, Seattle’s defense misses the plane?

“You have to believe in things sometimes before you can see them,’’ said Vrabel, who inherited a team that won four games last season.

But what about us? In a football age of analytics and mathematics, when does “regression to the mean” matter? Do we really have to update how the Patriots have won 32 playoffs games and are off to a 10th Super Bowl since Lamar Smith crossed the goal-line in overtime for the Dolphins’ last playoff win in 2000?

This is jealousy typing. The entire AFC East should feel the same today. Buffalo has the quarterback in Josh Allen but not the organizational smarts. Just re-watch last week’s news conference over the firing of coach Sean McDermott to understand why.

The New York Jets have been as lost over the last decade as the Dolphins have for two decades. The Jets now don’t just see the Patriots in the Super Bowl. They get the added fun of watching their quarterback bust, Sam Darnold, starring for Seattle against the Patriots.

It all makes for the unlikeliest Super Bowl matchup since — well, since ever. A four-win Patriots team from a year ago with a second-year quarterback and first-year coach? A Seattle team led by Darnold and second-year coach Mike Macdonald?

There’s a hope necklace for Dolphins fans amid all the surprise. Look at these teams. Both general managers — Wolf and Seattle’s John Schneider — came out of Green Bay. They learned the philosophy of Ron Wolf (Elliot’s father) and Ted Thompson, just as new Dolphins general manger Jon-Erik Sullivan did.

Both head coaches have defensive backgrounds and completed quick turnarounds. Macdonald is a first-time head coach, too, just like Jeff Hafley, the new Dolphins coach who has a defensive background.

Schneider hired Macdonald to beat offensive masterminds in the NFC West like San Francisco’s Brendan Shanahan and the Los Angeles Rams’ Sean McVay. Seattle beat them these past two playoff games, too. Hafley has a similar, divisional challenge with Maye and Allen quarterbacking against him.

Finally, there’s the Super Bowl quarterbacks. Maye was the No. 3 pick in 2024 and, at 23, is the youngest quarterback in a Super Bowl other than Dan Marino in 1985. Darnold is on his fifth team. He’s the classic bust who finally found his way and the right team.

Every team needing a quarterback and watching Darnold’s rise wonders if busts-on-the-rise like Mac Jones and Malik Willis can do something similar.

This is Super Bowl LX, if you’re a Roman Numeral fan. The L could stand for Losers, because so many of the storylines are about failure — and rising above it. Isn’t that the essence of sports? Don’t you look at these teams and wonder why you can’t share in some fun?

The Patriots were 80-to-1 longshots to make the Super Bowl last August. Seattle was 60-to-1. They’ve shown everyone how anything can happen with smart decisions and good fortune.

Good for the Patriots. The rest of us will sit here with Belichick sick to our stomachs.
