New England Patriots thread (MOD WARNING - #4503)

TO.

Always like the Andruzzi Family. Joe Andruzzi did his bit today to help amid chaos in Boston:

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/04/15/joe-andruzzi-handles-boston-marathon-attack-the-way-joe-andruzzi-would/

Former NFL offensive lineman Joe Andruzzi, a cancer survivor, runs a foundation that raises funds to assist cancer patients and to support pediatric brain cancer research.

As part of the effort, Andruzzi organizes a team of runners every year at the Boston Marathon.

His three brothers who responded to the 9/11 attacks, so it makes sense that he’d be photographed carrying a woman who had been injured in Monday’s bombing.

If that image makes you inclined to contribute to his foundation’s effort, all you have to do is click here.

I have two good friends who are fighting to save lives right now in Massachusetts General Hospital. One of them seen some horrors in Iraq, but never expected a war zone in his own home town. Football really is so unimportant right now.:(

Amendola pledged $100 per catch and $200 per drop from this season to the victims of the bombings on twitter.

Hopefully he has a 100 catch season....

Does it really matter? Either way the statement of hoping they pull through stays true really whether its his friends or friends saving another.

Thanks bud, they're fine. One is a surgeon and the other works in the ER so the poor souls have been flat out. They were full of praise to the first responsders at the scene of the attacks. Thankfully there was a lot of nurses, doctors and EMS personnel onsite when the attacks happened. And that saved a lot of lives.

I see Danny Amendola has made a lovely gesture to the bombing victims. He has promised to donate $100 dollars for every recpetion this season. And if he drops a pass, then he'll donate $200 dollars.

On twitter, big Vince offered to match donations if 1000 people donated $10 to his foundation...1000 people donated in a couple of hours...now he wants another 5000 people to donate and his wife will match them.

Robert Kraft is matching upto $100,000 of donations on Patriots.com.

Devin McCourty is donating $100 for every tackle he makes and $200 for every int.

Cheers for posting that TO. I've just submitted a barage of holiday requests

5 televised games in good. Add in the ones that Sky will be showing (Saints, Texans, Steelers and one of the divisional games all possibilities) and around half our games will be televised this side of the pond.

You know what? Fúck it, I'm going to a game this year.

If you do and its after Sept let me know which one and I will get tickets for it also. We can tailgate and go to game. Myself and the missus are hoping to move into Foxboro. Looking at a couple of places there. Visas are backed up right now so it will be Sept when I move over.

I'm hoping to do this myself but the only problem is that there is no other Giants fans near me and if I bring the Missus to New York she'll be expecting a ring!!

I might try an organise something but my two mates that are into football are Eagles and Fins fans

Much appreciated TO, I'll have to get working on that.

Just thought I post this pic of Edelman visiting with Boston bomb victim and hero Jeffery Bauman. Apparently despite losing both his legs below the knees, he was still able give police an excellent description of one of the bastárds who planted the bomb near his feet. Note the Pat The Patriot hat he's wearing. Edelman's tweet and visit pic below..

I'm looking at the Broncos game on at the end of November. Gonna head over on the Thursday and come back on the Tuesday - flights and hotel comes in at just under a grand which isn't too bad. I'll put aside a few hundred for a ticket as I'm sure a game of that magnitude will cost a fortune. I'll take you up on that offer of tailgating though. We should organise a Boards Pats Fans tailgate party

Great game to pick. One of my mates from Cali is a Broncos fan and him and some of his buddies are coming over for that game also. Be a cracking tailgate. Going to be some banter.
