How it all began

The Pats are one win away from going to their sixth Super Bowl in just more than a decade. I've erased the memory of the last two, but the first three will be burned in my mind forever. Watching the "Three Games to Glory" DVDs sure helps.

I made a copy of this old grainy VHS tape when the actor Dennis Hopper died a few years ago. It ran before the Pats' opener the season after they won their first Super Bowl. Remember the first Super Bowl victory? It's still hard to believe it actually happened. If it never happens again (hopefully it will), Pats fans will always have the memory of just how fun it was when a young Tom Brady stepped on the field and transformed one of the worst franchises in the league into one of the all-time best. Dennis Hopper captures the moment the way only he can. And then he predicts the future... "Every year, man! Every year!"
