Read excerpt
Good Morning Family, Friends, Colleagues, It’s game day in New England - the Patriots home opener.As both a native-born New Englander and football fan I have some history with the New England Patriots, going back to before they were bought by Robert Kraft, back to when they were the Boston Patriots.Back to when they drafted Heisman Trophy winner Jim Plunkett from Stanford as the first overall pick in 1971.
