i love this thread
i feel like a newbie, only been a pats fan since '86. one memory is:
on squish the phish sunday, 16 of us played a morning snow/mud football game destroying a field in tewksbury. the game/party that followed was epic. the night ended with 5 of us driving to warwick (drunk of course), to welcome home our conquering heros. i can't describe the feeling as grogan and tippett stepped off the plane around 1 am with 1000+ rabid pats fans cheering every step of the way. the police seemed happy to yell "kill" to their trained german shepherds as the crowd surged toward our invincable heros. meanwhile, the players seemed to overcome the shock of such a big receiving party and managed to high 5 every fan in sight
Did not play football that day, probably worked and had to listen to it on the radio.. without regard had my "squish the fish t-shirt" was also at the airport when they came back.. have been a fan since the early 70's, used to be a Browns fan.. Jim Brown is my all time fave.. one of my earliest Pats memories is going to Bryant for summer camp, when the players used to sign on the way out of practice.. never forget Hannah's neck, big as my thigh..
