Thank you, TB12, for 20 amazing years and the best experience a sports fan could ever hope to have...following a team for now 49 years from Laughingstock to Dynasty to Basking in the Glow of Greatness even after you left.
Thanks for giving my kids, who were born when you "only" had one ring, a role model and an inspiration...I describe one of them, Captain and QB of his Public HS Football team, as "having a chip on his shoulder as big as Tom Brady's"...he's on track to graduate Summa Cum Laude from an Ivy League university, in part, because of the drive he saw in you.
More importantly, you gave my kids and myself a shared passion and love for a team...providing plenty to talk about during the awkward times when teenagers otherwise want (and need) to carve out a little healthy distance between themselves and their dad.
If you're so inclined (and, it's fine with me if you aren't, FWIW), I hope Bob Kraft does the right thing and offers you a 24-hour contract so you can retire as a New England Patriot and that the Glazer's are classy enough to let that happen.
