It's easy, and only takes a few moments.RW, they closed the other thread so I'll give you my response to it here:I was born in 1971 and my dad took me to my first game in October of 81. I was 10. They played HOU. Killed 'em. I played Pop Warner, little league & hockey so I was football/sports aware. I didn't really start being a true fan until '82 then the league went on f-ing strike.
Figures 1st two seasons as a Pats fan they go 2-14 and next year a strike. LOL.
KGIII = GoodellI became a big Patriots fan in 1775. King George III sucked. Sort of like the Jets but with a crown.
KG III also suffered from mental illness. I think you are on to something.KGIII = Goodell
10 and me too. Babe was throwing to Gino for Tds and then Gino would kick the XP.
Sorry, I really don't remember the details it was so long ago. I do remember there were a fair amount of blackouts of home games.Too young to remember but, what was the deal with no televised games? No AFL contract, lack of sellouts, or some combination [or other reason]?
The sixites were a LONG time ago.Lol rochrist your post reminds me of Jim Morrison saying he couldn’t remember being born, musta happened during one of his blackouts

I was really hoping I'd open this and your question was "What's a Clitoris?"
About 8 for me. Plunkett's last year with the team. Happy Birthday!
Steve Grogan. And we were decent in 1976 (had an AFCCG appearance and possibly a Superbowl stolen from us) through 1978, then went way downhill in the early 1980s (2-14 in 1981, IIRC?)
I was 5ish (1985-1986), but really solidified when I was 11 (1991).
I watched SB24 with my old man, and he was so excited that we were in it, but it was a blowout...and not for us. He was really upset, but his passion really stuck with me that night and though we didn't get the Patriots on TV much in Virginia, I treasured the little Pats things I could get my hands on, including a pencil that had the old logo and "PATRIOTS" in what I called the "cowboy writing".
My old man took me to the Pats-Oilers game in 1991, which we actually won 24-20. I was in, a fan for good.
I started with the Pats right from the beginning (1960) when Butch Songin left his job as a prison guard to become our first QB. Before that time, the NY Giants were considered our "home team" and we had all their games on local TV, with Chris Schenkel doing the play-by-play. I never considered them our home team and was really excited when Billy Sullivan started the Boston Patriots franchise.
