VIDEO | Here’s what happened at The Super Bowl XLVI Send Off Rally

 

It’s been one heck of a week. It literally took that much time for me realize that we were REALLY going to the Super Bowl.

And today’s Super Bowl Send Off Rally held at Gillette Stadium helped in really making it a reality. I was lucky enough to attend the fantastic event and even took the time to make you all a nice little recap video. You’re welcome. :)

Check it out, it’ll feel like you were there cheering in the stands!

I had the pleasure of working with the Endzone Militia during my time as an employee at Gillette Stadium and today, they showed me something pretty neat:

These photos are of the base of his musket. All of the familiar initials and numbers that you see were carved in by the players themselves with a bayonet. At the time, he told me that he’s still trying to get Bill Belichick to carve it.

Can you guess the names on it?

This fellow was kind enough to let me take a photo of his brilliant shirt. If you have no idea what this shirt means, check out this video. STAT.


Bravo, sir.

Be sure to check out the video and like it, thumbs up it or whatever it is you do on Youtube. :)

It was a really great event and has gotten me even more pumped for next Sunday! Go Patriots!…

It’s a Patriots video extravaganza!

 

It’s getting close to game time folks, and I can barely control myself. Not gonna lie, my good friend Kristyn offered me a chance to buy tickets to the Patriots and Broncos game on Saturday and although I was wicked tempted, the responsible Kisha said nay. So to all you lucky fans out there braving the cold and wind at Gillette on Saturday, have a blasty-blast and make lots of noise.

During my drive to work, I get a chance to listen to the magic that is Boston sports radio. Other than getting to know Greg Stiemsma (who is actually a pretty interesting guy), this week has been full of Tebow, Broncos and good vs evil talk.  For the most part, I was ok with. Heck, it’s been pretty exciting having everyone in New England hyping up this game and even though logistically, the Patriots should win, there’s still that small thought in my head that thinks, “I mean, it IS Tim Tebow…” and that’s the part that makes this game so exciting.

In honor of tomorrow’s sure-to-be-suspenseful game, I’ve decided to compile a list of some of my favorite Patriots highlights. Watch, cheer and get pumped, we’ve got some Broncos to beat.

Benjamin Watson’s tackle prevented a Champ Bailey touchdown
If this video doesn’t get you pumped up, I don’t know what will. Always a great video to watch when you feel like giving up.

Vince Wilfork’s First Career Interception
I was both exciting and laughing the entire time this was happening. I couldn’t believe the big guy not only got an interception but he RAN IT back!

Top Ten Bad Weather Games: #7 The Snow Bowl
Gotta give props to my friend PatsPropaganda for posting this video. Although the weather won’t be bad tomorrow, this gives us glimpse of how things were in Foxboro Stadium. So much snow!

Patriots Annihilate Titans in 45-0 beating
This is one of the last games I worked at Gillette Stadium and you can only imagine how surprised everyone was when the dusting started. The stadium and the game was absolutely beautiful.

Wes Welker kicks a field goal
The Patriots are team of multi-talented players.  When Stephen Gostkowski was injured and with no back-up kicker in sight, wide receiver Wes Welker stepped up and took care of kickoffs and extra points. It wasn’t pretty but it was quite adorable. Here’s to adjusting to the needs …

Holy free tickets, Batman!

 

Mind: Blow

This is how my day ended today.
I know I say that my work takes over my life and honestly, it’s moments like this when it’s all worth it.

We’re launching a brand new site at work that has awesome written all over it and I’ve become so invested in it that it’s been tough to get all football’d out as much as I’d like…but that won’t be happening once the season starts and tickets to the first ever Patriots game of the 2011 season is one hell of a way to get my butt in gear as far being the Patriots Insider that I’ve been in the past.

I give so much credit to people who have the full time jobs AND then come home and blog their nights away. It was so much easier for me before since I was just out of college and hell, I thought I was going to be a full time blogger.

So, the game starts at 7:30 pm tomorrow and this will be my first time attending event after I left Gillette Stadium as their Check In Supervisor (best college job EVER). I’m psyched. Considering that the last time I was able to go to a game was on Halloween and I paid for that whole thing. All $100+ of it. Also, Ryan has seriously got it made with all the perks I’ve gotten from my job. :)

Now for the real question…
What should I be looking for in this game?

It’s been like a whirlwind romance when it comes to this Patriots team coming together and it feels like I’m just getting to know everyone and what they have to offer.

There are the things to expect:

- Brady being awesome (duh.)
- The Tiny Dude Troupe ( Welker, Woodhead, Edelman, Branch..)
-  The Wide Receivers…like all 35 of them

And then there’s the exciting stuff:

- Albert Haynesworth..if he’s healthy, motivated, getting paid..etc
- Chad Ochocino (He’s really a Patriot right?!)
- The ever-so-mysterious pass rush
- 4-3 whaaaaaa?!

Is there anything that you guys would want me to keep an eye on? Let me know here or on twitter and I’ll tweet it all up.

Here’s the start of the season and getting to sit in my favorite stadium to experience the beginning of what’s bound to be a pretty sweet year.

Go Pats!…
