Given what’s transpired over this offseason, it feels like forever since the Patriots raised the Lombardi Trophy after beating the Seahawks en-route to their fourth Super Bowl title back in February.
It’s been an offseason riddled with an investigation that’s lead to a suspension of quarterback Tom Brady, with little evidence to justify how the Super Bowl MVP could potentially be a spectator in week one in 2015. It’s been a complete and total mess that’s tarnished what should have been a relatively enjoyable offseason for the players and fans here in New England, but instead it’s been a long road back to the return of football in Foxboro last week.
