It was 2007, the Patriots were in the midst of a perfect regular season and I had yet to see them. The WGA writers strike had crippled my real job, leaving me with a 25% pay cut and only half days to work. So I took off to hit what looked on paper like the last major roadblock between my beloved New England Patriots and 16-0.
As we tailgated in grey, slushy conditions near Gillette Stadium a plane overhead was pulling a sign that instantly caught the attention of every man, woman and hoodie outside (and I assume inside) the stadium. I took out my camera and clicked a picture:
Ah yes, a friendly Spygate reference. The catalyst for the 2007 Pats to lay waste to everyone they faced. An incredible and historic season that saw the Pats come within 3 minutes of being the undisputed best team of all time.
As I waited in line for a port-a-potty, a Steeler fan who had made the trip shook his head. He seemed to know that flying such a sign would pretty much ensure the Patriots would come out pissed off and ready to play.
And guess what? He was right.
I returned home after the game and, while scanning craigslist for a job that might get some more income coming in, I spotted an ad looking for bloggers to blog about their favorite sports teams.
Hmmm. I was a writer. I loved the Patriots. And I could even make one to two cents per day! I was sold. So for my first post I grabbed the picture I had clicked of the sign that had been flown over the stadium.
Thus began my blogging career and I have to say I owe at least part of it to the anonymous Steeler fan who felt compelled to poke the Patriots in the eye just before the game.
Tavon Wilson Patriots Highlights 2013 (by MorinIsland34) Thanks to @OliverBThomas for sending this video my way. Great flashback when even Mike Mayock was stumped by the Patriots’ selection of Tavon Wilson. I think a lot of people underestimate Wilson, but he should have every chance to start at safety this year. (Source: https://www.youtube.com/)
