Enjoying the ride

The Pats may not win the Super Bowl again this year. A lot of things have to break right for a team just to make it to the first Sunday in February. And, as we all know, anything can happen on that day. ("Did he just catch that ball with his effin head?") Watching your team win the Super Bowl is a heck of lot better than watching them lose. Of course. But either way, it's a great ride.

Pats fans are lucky. Barring a shocking rash of injuries or an even more shocking great year by the Jets, the Pats will finish at the top of the AFC East and provide a lot of Sunday fun along the way. Since Drew went down with a busted body on that September day in 2001, Belichick, Brady, and the rest of the Pats have gone 150-47 including playoffs. 150-47. One of the most dominant stretches in NFL history. In the days I was sitting on the cold, aluminum benches at Foxboro Stadium watching the guys in red, white, and blue stumble and bumble their way to loss after excruciating loss, I never imagined it would ever be this fun to be a Pats fan.

Get ready for more fun and more highlights.
