"Although we are capable of great acts of kindness, history teaches us that we sometimes need saving from ourselves – from our recklessness or our greed. God sent into the world a unique person – neither a philosopher nor a general, important though they are, but a Saviour, with the power to forgive... It is my prayer that on this Christmas day we might all find room in our lives for the message of the angels and for the love of God through Christ our Lord." (Christmas message, 2011)

It's an interesting read on the ownership process. Lots of food for thought.

Man, I miss the good old days. When I was in jr high and high school, the Patriots were a beautiful mess for the Fins to beat up on.

5-11
1-15
6-10
2-14
5-11

Then came the Tuna and wrecked the whole thing. Never been the same again. And then he went to the Jets and did the same damn thing. Man, I hate that guy.

Meanwhile the Tuna in Miami brought us Jake Long over Matt Ryan and Tony Sporano.

We got one decent year out of Pennington which culminated in the sale to Mr. Ross.
