Default One of My Favorite Pat Moments

America's Game: 2001, 34:40 into it.

Just before Super Bowl 36 when the Pats are in the tunnel waiting to storm the field. Brady was going NUTS, grabbing Drew and yelling "Didn't I tell you I was going to get you there!" and other stuff like that to the point where Drew was laughing nervously. And then Willie Mac turned around and saw it and calmly grabbed Brady, put his helmet against his and talked to him for a few moments. Within 5 seconds Brady looked calm and focussed and ready to take the field.

I don't think that was a turning point or anything, but I would love to know what Willie said to him. I imagine it's something like, "Listen young fella, we deserve to be here, and you've brought us this far. Just do what you've been doing all season, and we're gonna be champs. Alright? Let's go."

I would pay $4275 USD to know what he really said. Anyway, everytime I watch that (which is almost weekly), I get pumped and feel much love for Willie.

I love that too. But the BEST spike in NFL history was Brady's tumbling Rathman-like monster spike after the TD in the snow bowl.

My favorite is the snowplow game. When Shula is going apoplectic. His arguing with the ref to put the snow back was priceless.

Hey PJ, what ever happened to "X weeks down, X weeks to go?" I miss it, personally.

Tough choice, but the moment I keep coming back to is...
" Choosing to be introduced as a team, The New England Patriots...".
Unprecedented at the time, and especially how they capitalized on what was originally an error earlier that season, turning it into something that's defined them ever since. Still gives me chills.

Thanks. I missed a Sunday because I was in Bali and then I just felt overwhelmed by the whole spycrapgate. I've actually been feeling guilty about it, because I hate not following through with something. Maybe I'll bring it back by unpopular demand.

Yep, that's an awesome one, too. That four hours or so was some of the most emotional time of my life.

PJ,
I actually missed that game because it was during my 2nd year of residency and I could not get off call. In fact, I was in the OR for most of the game, but was able to get out just as Madden made his "maybe the Patriots should just kneel down and take this to overtime" comment.
I went home the next morning and watched much of the video tape and was emotional but nothing like seeing it live.
The coming out as a team thing was simply awesome. It still gives me chills. That team's accomplishment changed the way people approach the SB. Up until then, the dominant team almost always DOMINATED that game...the 2001 Patriots changed all of that.
