A Personal Note

When I started this website 15 years ago, my goal was just to try and put together a place for us to come together and have a community to talk football. Coming off of a losing season, my expectations weren't high and it was all about having fun and trying to enjoy this team and this game. The team won a championship in our first season, and obviously went on to win a couple more. It was amazing.

Here we are 15 years later after a lot of near misses and some unbelievable games. Really glad to share this game with everyone in here tonight, and just want to say thank you to all of you who have stuck with me through the good and the bad. I'm far from perfect and I know I've certainly made my fair share of mistakes here, and I've certainly learend from them. But I always do the best I can to make this place as good as it can be and that will never change. And make no mistake, this place would seriously be nothing without you.

Thank you to you all for an amazing 15 years and I'm honored to being able to enjoy this win with all of you.

Enjoy it. It's been a long time coming and you never know when the next one will be.

But congratulations, the Patriots are World Champions

This is the best Patriots fan forum out there, at least from what I've seen.

Congrats on making the choice to start the site! It's been a heckuva ride.

I love this forum!!!!!!!!!

Ian - YOU persevered as much as the New England Patriots.

Thanks for everything, Ian!

Thank you, Ian. I only lurk on here, but this best site on the Internet.

Ian, thank you for everything!

And God knows we don't always make it easy on you!

Meet up time! I would be so in. I would love to post some crazy stuff on Facebook but the only people I want to be with besides my family are you guys right now.

Seriously this forum is amazing, love the people here!

Ian, thank you so much for making this home for all of us.

CHAMPIONS!!!

I LOVE EVERYBODY!

THANKS FOR THE AWESOME FORUM, IAN!

BEST FORUM EVERRRRRRRRRRRRR

I love this forum and I have no idea what I would do If I couldn't talk to the awesome guys here. Very few Pats fans where I live so this site helps a ton.

Thanks for all the hard work you put in keeping it running.

Thank you (definitely not said enough).

My wife thanks you too, because...otherwise I'd have to talk football to her (and while she cares enough, she's not that into football).

And just take every post that is entered here on this site as a sign of how much we appreciate your hard work.

Every national site is overrun by haters, and so this forum IS my NFL bookmark.

Ian. This is the best forum period. Not just the best sports forum but the best of any kind. We are all so lucky to have you.

Thank you Ian

makes life so much easier to be a pats fan

I love this forum and everybody in it. It's really been great for a guy like me who lives in Pennsylvania and doesn't have any fellow fans locally to enjoy the game with. You all are my remote support group

Thank you Ian, for providing it. This championship feels amazing.
