I hope younger fans appreciate what is happening in Patriots Nation right now. N
ot that I am old, but I still have the bad memories of “stars” such as Millen, Chung and Harlow in my head. Growing up, I followed the Patriots, but was hardly a die-hard fan. We never saw the Pats play at home, because the games never sold out and were blacked out on TV. We barely got to know our team and, looking back, that was probably for the best. There was no internet to get info on our team. I was too young to care about reading about the games in the newspaper. So I followed the teams that got the national coverage. I was a fan of Jim Kelly and Warren Moon and I don’t apologize for it.But since the Krafts purchased the team, everything has changed. Better teams, better stadium, better coverage and better technology. If I miss a game, I can get recaps On-Demand or online; stations dedicated to sports and the NFL; superstars playing for the home team. I never thought I would own so many player jerseys from the home team!
Enjoy it while it lasts. San Francisco 49ers fans never thought that “Young to Rice” would have to be the last good news they would get for over a decade.
Now on to hosting the Super Bowl Party. I need to upgrade my living room if I am going to host this year’s event. Two mismatched loveseats and a 20” tube television is not the way this game should be experienced. I’m going to upgrade the TV using The WANT AD, and sell my old one to someone who needs a great small set for the kids. I will also need an oversized couch and some recliners. With the game starting in the evening, I feel the need to entertain during the afternoon. The Patriots slot machine I have been eying should make a great distraction, as well as 8’ pool table. Finally, I’ll need extra cash for food. Selling my film camera and computer should net me the funds necessary.
Don’t forget to check out The WANT AD’s Patriots Store. All your fan shopping in one place! www.thewantad.com/patriots.
Go Pats!!!
