What a game, Pats won, AFC East Champs, even sweeter when I get to roam the sidelines. For the record, they are 2-0 (both big games) when I am there with a camera, just saying. A great experience, thanks to the Boston Sports Journal, go check them out, the perfect site for Boston Sports Fans.

Week 6 of the NFL, Chiefs at Patriots, a national Sunday night game that was worth the slot. I was on the sidelines in an NFL media vest photographing it for Boston Sports Journal. I have covered plenty of High School sports but this was a whole new opportunity and something I had wanted to do for years. Just being on the sideline, seeing the game from that level, interacting with the stadium personnel, other photographers, at times even sharing space with players, an experience I will never forget. Add all of that in with it was just a great game, score after score by both teams, won on a NE field goal, 43-40 as time ran out, pretty great way to spend a night. I thank Boston Sports Journal for the chance, they used some of my photos from the Patriots Super Bowl rally back in January too, so do me a favor and go check out their page (after you check out my photos) they are a New England sports page run by New Englanders, I get all my Pats, Sox, Celts and Bruins news from them. I know plenty of you are sports fans too, you will not be disappointed. If you want to see even more of my photos of the game the whole set can be found on my website, just click here.

I found myself at the New England Patriots Rally this morning, camera in hand, freezing in the cold and loving every minute of it. It was awesome, I think after the rally I was pumped enough, I could win a Super Bowl… I would have to limp to the bus… well, first I would have to go home and get my pills and cane, then drive back and limp to the bus… never mind, I will stick to photos. Though there was a moment when football and photos met. It was quick, but I shared a moment with TB12. I was at the side of the podium, Ty Law (future Hall of Famer corner Ty Law) was speaking to the crowd and Tom was in the back row. He reaches into his coat, pulls out his phone, gets the camera ready, then looks right at me. There was a little nod, and then he snaps a pic of the crowd. The look and nod, it was like, “Cool camera you got there limpy, look what I can do with this phone.” The GOAT. It does not matter what he is doing. You can see my whole set by clicking here, I am not sure where Tom’s photo end up. Some highlights below.

Your 2013 NE Patriots

#ToyWednesday Let’s start with the obvious question, why is there and Amendola figure? The guy barely played a game, he was injured when he was born. I get they are winning, 4-0 the Atlanta game was even an impressive road win against a fairly good team. The stretch coming up is going to be tough. Rumor is Gronk will be back soon, depends who you listen too… how is his Dad involved? And poor Vince, that’s a lot of lbs to try to rehab that ankle. Will he ever be the same? Peyton Manning is on fire, see what happens when you have a hall of fame QB and you surround them with talent? Do you see that Mr. Kraft, Mr. Belichick? Do you? Though, I have faith in these young guys, they show promise. Do you know how long it took Troy Brown to become Troy Brown? He was almost cut like 30 times. Anyway, go Pats! Whatever your names are… makes it real hard to buy jerseys this year. They should come with Velcro and extra numbers and letters so you can make new combinations as needed.

Let There Be Football
September 8, 2013
One of the best days of the year. Yes, I know the NFL wants us to believe that the Thursday night game was the start of the season, but we all know the truth. Even the years my team have played the Thursday opener ,it still felt wrong, opening day is Sunday. I block the day each year and consume as much as a I can. The Patriots had a rough time with the Bills, minus some stupid Bills penalties and I don’t thing there would have been a last-minute go ahead field goal. A win is a win, going to be an interesting season with all these new names. Good luck to all your teams… expect when they play New England, unless you’re a Giants fan, then you just go ahead and lose each game (yes, I am still bitter, but I own it).
