From New Bedford Mass. Born and raised and still residing.

I wish i was a season ticket holder.

Been a Pats fan since the Drew Bledsoe years (drafted) why you ask? I was only like 6 or 7 when that happened and thats when i fell in love with sports.
My age now. 20. Yes im 20. I sometimes seem like a know it all but hey i try to know it all so it makes up for it in the end.

Im always up for a cool argument/debate about players who are better than this or that.

Always around.

For those who don't know, I used to be a Browns fan

I was born in England, and lived in Cleveland during my Junior High/High School years. So I was a Browns fan. I was one of the few who liked Belichick when he was there - thus, BelichickFan

When the Browns moved I found a new team. The Patriots were my wife's favorite team and as Belichick went to NE, it fit as I'd been rooting for them as my second team anyway. When Belichick went to NY I stuck with the Pats, I have an addictive personality and was a hard core fan after just that one year.

When Belichick came back, it was perfect and the circle had been completed. It is like it was meant to be.

Funny story #1 - the reason my wife was a Patriots fan was she saw highlights when they won their first game one season when Dick McPherson was the HC - he was so happy they actually won that he almost tackled a player. She felt sorry for them and picked them as her team. Women

Funny story #2 - when the Browns and Patriots played in 1994 in the playoffs I was still a Browns fan. We were dating at the time and I told her she could only come over to watch with me if she didn't cheer when the Patriots scored.

Funny story #3 - By the start of the 1995 opener when the Patriots beat the Browns we were married. My family was up visiting and I told her it would be her against the Whites (my last name is White). She had to remind me she was a White now too

I was seriously upset when Curtis Martin had that breakout first game. One year later the Browns were gone and I was a Pats fan.

My wife's Christmas present this year is a Troy Brown jersey - you can't ask more than that from a wife . . .

Thanks for bringing that memory to life!

Born and raised on bean suppah, brown bread, boiled dinner, and Patriots football in Rockland, Maine. Reside now in Bowdoinham, Maine.

Father and Grandfather were dutiful radio listeners to the games in early days. My brothers and I have attended dozens of games since the early 80's. Never been a season ticket holder.

You're all invited to come downeast anytime for some venison stew and Sammies on game day. Ayuh.

Born in RI, lived here all but 6 years of my life.

Originally a Browns fan, but switched over in the 60's, think right after the 1st superbowl. My highlights is meeting BB and having my picture taken with Jim Brown.

One of my lowlights is not being a season tix holder, if one of the top 5 worse decisions in my life.
