It must be in the blood. I hate to admit this but I am in exile. I was born in New England but rarely can be there. When the exile started, I was a kitten and the local team knocked the Patriots out of the playoffs that year. I caught Hell for that. The next year, the local team led our beloved Patriots 23-0 at half time! The Patriots went on to comeback and win 38-23 which at that time was a record. I was floating on the clouds! Times were tough back then. There was no internet or cable tv. I had to suffer through the local team's games to view the scrolling scores or maybe view a few seconds of highlights during halftime. *IF* the Patriots were on Monday night, it was definitely an appointment to view. I had to go to the library to find a box score in the USA Today. Oh and one of the crown jewels of this present golden age of New England football was when the Patriots defeated the local team 28-24 in the Superbowl.
