I have watched the Patriots transform from being an afterthought, as the fourth most popular sports team in New England, behind the Red Sox, Celtics, and Bruins. Now, not only are they number one in the hearts and minds of many New Englanders, fans now claim they were fans, “Since the days of Steve Grogan.” This is quite amusing considering there were only a few people who I knew, that even cared that the Patriots were in Super Bowl XXXI vs the Packers.
Now, I have taken an interest in the Patriots and watch all of their games if I can, and if they aren’t in conflict with the Packers’ game.
