New England Patriot Nostalgia
Troy Brown & the 2001 Patriots
My friend Zach’s recent post on ‘Remembering Better Times for Arsenal’ reminded of a favorite video I have had in the bowels of my hard drive for years. I broke it out after watching his video and is particularly relevant with the Super Bowl being only but a few days passed. Gives me goosebumps every single time I watch it. I particularly like the 24 year-old Tom Brady slapping Drew Bledsoe yelling, “WE WON!”
If you have a little bit more time (and are a true Pats fan) this video is well worth the 6:30. I think this is the most memorable football game I can ever remember…I remember everything about that night.
If you have something to say...
Thanks for the shout-out! Always good to remember better times. Team quality and wins will come and go, but highlight videos last forever.
A great clip. I ended up buying the DVD of this entire game and still watch it. Great to hear Summerall’s play by play. BTW, which Pat player does the “snow angel” routine in the endzone at the conclusion of the game?
Lonnie Paxton?
Awesome video – were we coming home from a meet during this game? I seem to remember being on a bus for one of the playoff games that year.
@Zach – no problem and you’re so right…highlight videos do last forever….thank goodness.
@Dad – I don’t know who that is, but Lonnie Paxton is a good guess! (Grant). It is great to hear Summerall doing the play-by-play…although he does make a mistake, saying that Adam V missed the field goal before the game, when he actually hit it!
@Grant – we were…had a meet a middlebury that night in that snow storm and we were watching it on Ellman’s tiny antenna TV. Awesome night.
I remember listening to Game 4 of the 2004 World Series on a walkman while riding back to Middlebury on the team bus after a soccer game in New Hampshire. I had to keep scanning the stations to find radio broadcasts that weren’t all static, and kept updating the rest of the bus on the score. I got back to campus and met up with my buddy Dan (hardcore Sox fan) in the 8th inning, then we watched Foulke close it out. Later that night we were drinking champagne outside our dorm and a Middlebury Public Safety officer walked up to us and said, “No alcohol here, right? Congrats on the Sox. Have a good night”, and walked away.
@ Dave L – great story and one that you’ll probably remember for a very long time…just like me with this one.
