The Greatest Throwback Boston Athlete of All Time


He is the single greatest athlete in Boston sports history. There is absolutely no question in my mind. He won us three Superbowls, gave way to an undefeated regular season and what I would consider the most prolific dynasty in the history of the National Football League. Ladies, ladies, put the vibrators away, it's not Tom Brady, we're talking throwbacks. It's good ole Drew Bledsoe. He's the reason the Patriots are who they are today. It was a glorious Sunday afternoon only 12 days removed from the worst day in U.S. history, but what would soon turn into the greatest day in New England history. September 23, 2001. By my calculations it was around 5:03 Eastern Standard Time. Mo Lewis (god bless your soul) laid a crunching hit on Pats quarterback, Drew Bledsoe. Out of the depths of the New England sideline walked a nobody 6th round pick from Michigan. His name was Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr. And the rest, ladies and gentlemen, the rest is history.
Thank you Drew. No one takes one for the team like you do.
