How good can a sixth-round draft pick be, anyway?

After 22 seasons, veteran quarterback and former New England Patriot Tom Brady officially announced his retirement from the game of football on February 1, 2022. He was a 7-time Super Bowl champion.

The great Fitzy wandered into the Gilette Stadium parking lot this past week to ask tailgating Pats fans on what message they had for Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski as they return to New England this Sunday night. The dynamic duo led the Patriots to glory, so the emotions are running high as our guys, now our enemy, come back to the place where it all happened.

No biggie. Just the biggest regular-season game in the history of the NFL. Tom Brady, who spent 20 years and garnered six Super Bowl rings, comes back to Gillette to face his old team and the coach that many believe was the reason for his departure to become Florida Man. This is epic. Shakespearian. With the entire nation watching.

We found some never-before-seen footage of Portland's New England Patriots Super Bowl Parade and Rally from April of 2002.

It's a spending spree like the Patriots have never seen! Some big moves today by Coach Belichick. This is the most money the Pats have ever spent in free agency. Things are certainly getting interesting in Foxborough, and it's only Day One of free agency.

If you watch the Patriots on TV or listen to them here on WBLM, you hear a roar of the crowd. We all know, of course, that it's piped in crowd noise. In fact, the crowd noise you hear during the game are from REAL PATRIOTS GAMES that are being played back. Hey if you were at a game last year, you may be hearing yourself! Woah...that's a trip. Anyhoo, in the actual stadium, during the actual game, there is no crowd noise. Yup, it's quiet. Tooooooo quiet. So quiet, if you are there will understand the real level of inappropriate trash talking that goes on!

Here we go again Pats fans

This is not good. Patriot players are due this week in Foxborough to get their COVID-19 tests and start practicing. But already, it sounds like SIX Patriots have said, "no, thank you,' and are opting out of playing for the season. Presumably because of the threat of getting the disease. Two of these Pats players are big-time stars and starters. Yup, Patrick Chung, and Dont'a Hightower are out.

The New England Patriots planted 2500 flags outside of Gillette Stadium this weekend to honor people from the Foxborough area that have lost their lives in military service. The project was done with the help of many volunteers and the Massachusetts Military Heroes Fund. The Fund usually plants over 35,000 flags each Memorial Day Weekend on the Boston Common, but because of the COVID-19 restrictions, they were not able to this year.
