One of the best parts of my job is being a part of the Patriots’ Hall of Fame nominating committee. (The closest I’m ever going to get to a sitting in on a meeting of the College of Cardinals.) Held every spring, we get a great lunch, and talk some Patriots’ history with a sizable group of luminaries that includes current and former media who cover (or covered) the team. There are also former players, and plenty of folks who work (or have worked) for the franchise.
That group includes Ernie Adams.
When he showed up, it was odd to see him.
