SCITUATE — The chant echoed through all of Gillette Stadium as the Patriots wrapped up the AFC Championship Game.
“Do-la! Do-la! Do-la!”
It shook the rafters and trended big time on social media.
But in this town, people have been chanting Danny Amendola’s name for nearly a decade, perhaps since his NFL career was first featured on HBO’s “Hard Knocks.”
Amendola has deep roots in the town. He spent childhood summers here and still visits regularly. His mother Rose’s family has been here for decades in the tight-knit oceanside hamlet of Sand Hills.
