Globe feature on Pats greatest fan, Randy 'Zip' Pierce

What an amazing story, who would have thought that is where "full tilt, full time" came from

WHERE IS MY ARTICLE

THIS MAN IS LEGEND THOUGH

NEM won fan of the year once I think. Or at least he was trying for it. God bless the old codger.

Here is a great video about Zip.

I miss Tedy Bruschi. There's a hole in my heart for him.

No he never won it or even came close.
The old coot would whine and badger folks to vote for him as FOTY.

I remember Zip's Patriot fan page back in the late 90's....all of us old timers do. Thanx for that link, ricarr

Zip's excellent page, and its demise, was what eventually redirected me over here round about 1999-2000.

He was good friends with Mrs. Bruschi (not the real Mrs. Bruschi, but the great fan and Training Camp correspondent from RI, Karen). That whole group down there in the corner of the stadium were always amazing. I wonder whatever happened to Karen/Mrs. B?
