I've been tailgating at New England Patriots games from 1987 to present day. What a difference a
couple of decades make! These tales from the tailgate include everything from the soul-sucking feeling
of a 1-15 season to the unexpected thrills of Super Bowl titles. I often hear people say that Pats fans
are spoiled and arrogant. Not all of us. Some, like me, still can't believe Vinatieri's kick was good.

Game films
OK, I've actually watched movies that were not made in the 1970s. Here's one. "Wedding Crashers." Vince Vaughn at his best. Classic Christopher Walken performance. And one of the funniest football scenes ever filmed.
It's a great look at both backyard football and eccentric, dysfunctional upper class families. Both are so much fun to watch. It's the best touch football scene in movie history along with the one from "The Big Chill.'' One has Rachel McAdams, the other has Meg Tilly. That's a toss-up.
Bradley Cooper became a star in this scene. Unfortunately I couldn't find a clip that had the entire football game so here's the best line from the movie uttered by one of the funniest actors I've seen. Crabcakes and football. That's what Maryland does. OK, Ravenstown, Md. Let's see what you've got.
