The New England Patriots recently unseated the Dallas Cowboys as the most hated team in the NFL, but as one time-capsule letter reveals, the Cowboys have triggered strong negative emotions for a long time.

The date was approximately Feb. 10, 1996 when a 9-year-old boy named Christopher wrote a letter to himself 20 years into the future. Posting as Reddit user quietstormx1, the now-29-year-old uploaded the handwritten letter, allowing all of us a hilarious glimpse into the (somewhat prescient) mind of a young New York Giants fan who had just witnessed the Cowboys' third Super Bowl win in four seasons.

Happy 29th birthday to Christopher, who must be elated that the Cowboys have won only two total playoff games since he penned that letter, while the Giants have captured two Super Bowls while he was in his 20s.
