Since I live in Boston, getting a chance to witness NFL history was a terrific way to head into the New Year. It was more than fun to be one of the 80,000 on hand to watch the Patriots close out a perfect 16-0 regular season at Giants Stadium last weekend. What a great Christmas present (thanks to my old buddy Frank).
It’s rare you get a chance to be part of sports history and this was as fun a game as I’ve ever attended. (OK, maybe the Red Sox-Yankees 2004 ALCS Game 7 was slightly more fun given the historical circumstances). The Pats still have a long way to go this season, but the Meadowlands was rockin’ Saturday night and the fans were really into the game from start to finish, which was something considering the Giants had virtually nothing to play for but pride.
A real sign of the times we now live in. Every game program was gone two hours prior to kickoff. No doubt most goobled up by sports memorabilia scalpers. Of course, you could find hundreds of them on eBay minutes after the final gun. (I won’t tell you how much I paid for mine).
The playoffs should be even more fun.
