... but I have nerves like I will be playing tomorrow. I think part of it is that I know the Brady/Belichick Era is ending here at some point. These last 18 years have been surreal. When I was kid, the Patriots weren’t on TV locally because they could never sellout. They were the laughingstock of the NFL. I say through a 2-15 and a 1-15 season. Making the playoffs was awesome. I’d never think my team had a shot at its 6th Super Bowl. I appreciate what I have and hate that it will be ending sooner rather than later.

If your team isn’t one of the elite right now, keep the faith. The Patriots are a great example. If you get the right people in place it can change the narrative of your franchise.
