So like a lot of fans I’ve been soaking up the highlight videos, both of the glorious two wins in these playoffs and of past glory.
The thing I keep coming back to is how freaking lucky we are to have our team in the SB four out of five years. For fans who saw this team pre-Parcells, we still have to pinch ourselves. We’re just so fortunate.
I started thinking about what my favorite iconic moment has been. An obvious pick would be the Butler pick. But in truth that play was a blur. It’s probably the most amazing single play in Boston sports history for me. I guess the “ground ball to Foulke/under hands to first” was more emotional but amazing as a play, it was not.
And I’m not sure the Butler play was so iconic or symbolic. One can make the argument, of course.
For me, it’s the Ty Law pick 6. Just the beauty and majesty of it. On a personal level, I said to my buddy right before it happened at the game that the Pats needed to score on D. I was not making a prediction. But the offense was dormant to that point. And then bam. There are other reasons but if I have to pick a play that symbolizes the dynasty, that would be my choice.
That Tom Brady is not part of it is huge demerit, I know. Still the iconic heart wants what it wants.
I’m on my phone and can’t upload a pic for some reason, which is a fail. But damn, who can’t picture Ty with his arm in the air running to the goal line?
What’s yours?
