Patriot
I am Fellow New Englander and I love your Passion. But lets enjoy this Dynasty in the making without the redicule to others.
I have followed the PATRIOTS since I was 16. Not as close I was to the Cowboys and Redskin franchises, but close. This all to a strong friend as many on this forum no as "Farmer Ted"
See Farmer Ted grew up with us folks in the ROckville and Gaithersburg area and We all knew Ted was a diehard Pats fan, and well since we partied with Ted, and hung out, and took road trips, and went to school together you begin to osmosis the The Pats
Ironically I get relocated to New England near where Ted's family was originally from
And I NEWPORT state to Ted,
The Patiots or the Redsox will win a Championship in the First 3 years I lIve HERE.
Of COurse there was much laughter from everyone
Well in Preseason of year 2000/01 I saw Brady in a preseason game against Tampa Bay, and I said and I quote, " Ted, I am not following your shitty Patriots anymore with Bledsoe at the helm, I just cannot do it any longer, I know he is a nice guy with a strong arm, but I cannot stomach his mistakes and bone headed plays" " I just cannot take it anymore"
I then said, Now this Brady Guy, he has balls, and guts, and He is Great Play Action Fake Passer" " Now you can win with this Kid" He said well that is not going to happen, and you do not know what your talking about"
I said Well then my friend, Your team will stink
The Rest is history Fate had Bledsoe hurt, and Brady did it.
***just an important reminder in the playoffs that year when Brady twisted his ankle Bledsoe almost through a Game losing pick at Pittsburgh to a LineBacker on a screen pass... the guy dropped it. IF He does not drop that,
this story is never told
Tom Brady is what kids should be pretending they are when they play football in the house or out in the yard...as I did Roger Staubach.
The Patriots with Kraft, and Bellicek, the new stadium, now 2 Rings
This is A Dynasty of the East, as the Cowboys are and San Fran and Miami, Denver, Raiders, Steelers, Packers, Redskins, Giants.
The PATRIOTS are NOW forever WILL BE A MARQUEE FRANCHISE equivalent to other GREAT FRANCHISES in NFL HISTORY.
As the NYG and the NYJ fought over attention,
THE NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS HAVE BUILT A GREAT FOOTBALL PRODUCT.
I can honestly say that I am HONORED TO SAY, I have lived here while this has transpired.
So lets ignore the critics, and live in our MARQUEE FOOTBALL LAND
we CALL PATRIOTSNATION
