I was so glad to see a positive Pats story on the news last night. They were interviewing Drew Bledsoe about returning to check out the Pats Hall of Fame construction. I thought he looked great and he seemed genuinely happy to be "back in the fold" if you will, with the Pats.
They also asked him about some of his greatest memories as a Pat, and he mentioned a game that I remember so well. The Pats played the Vikings and instead of sitting in our usual cheapie endzone seats, my husband and I had somehow scored 40 yd. line seats. We took an out-of-town couple (guy was my husband's college buddy), and they wanted to leave at halftime, especially her, because she was freezing and was not a football fan. The Pats were down 20-0 at the half. We asked her to stay for just one more possession, because if the Pats didn't score, we agreed, the game was over. Well, Bledsoe came out and played out of his mind!! They kept scoring on every possession - we kept having to beg to stay for just one more. Then, the game went into overtime, and needless to say, we couldn't leave then! The Pats won and that couple broke up. Lesson learned - never leave until the end of the game and don't invite non-football fans when you have tickets on the 40 yard line!!
Anyway, glad to see you Drew and glad you're still willing to be part of the Pats organization!
