It's so freaking Crazy, how far we've come...
When 2001 happened, it was far more than a Dream Come True.
It was far more than our wildest Dreams coming True.
We were The Ultimate UnderDogs.
We were the 427th most talented team in the League. Swear to God. I ordered 20 Piece Chicken McNuggets and Double Dirty Dog Greasy McCheeseBurgers from at least 17 McEmployees who could've made our 53 Man Roster, based on Talent, alone...if Talent was the only consideration on The Field of Battle.
Every Cliche.
Every worn-out Cliche about TeamWork, about 53 men and far more ~ Coaches, Practice Squad, Support Staff, Et Cetera ~ pulling together to forge something far more than the sum'f their parts...The loud, thunderous Manifestation of all that Sport and Competition stands for...finally came True with the 2001 Patriots.
Even if you rooted for any of the other 30 or so Teams ~ if you had any Soul at all ~ you were proud of Mankind when we pulled off that Miracle.
And that, as it turned out...was just The Beginning.
