Time to Soak

In partnership with

All seems right in the world.

The Patriots are 8-2.

First place in the AFC with the “mighty Bills” looking up at us.

Our Quarterback is the odds favorite to win MVP.

Our best wide receiver has a celebrity girlfriend that is better at music than “the guy on the Chiefs” girlfriend lady and she screams at the TV in joy on Sundays in the same exact way that I do.

Who knew a 23-year-old boy named Drake Maye and Cardi B could bring me so much joy and happiness.

Tonight, the Pats play the New York Jets at home, and I will be sending it down to Foxborough in party bus from Boston with 20 Pats fans ready to rumble.

I’ll probably take another video like this and not remain calm:

All is right in the world. It feels like the good ole days when I was driving an RV with my dad from our house on the north shore to the P12 Gillette Stadium parking lot in Foxborough. FWIW we called the RV the “Rolling Turd” and literally one day it was so cold at a game, one of my buddies went #2 in the RV and his turd froze and we needed to blowtorch it to melt the thing. RIP to the literal rolling turd.

I digress.

But yes, Boston is the literal city of champions and we have come to expect this type of production from our professional sports teams.

But as I sarcastically said on The Quick Snap podcast (Jon Gruden was our guest yesterday) a few weeks ago, it’s been a LONNNNG 5 years since we’ve felt this joy with our football team.

The time has come. The New England f***ing Patriots are back.

And here to stay.

So how can I connect with all the non-Patriots fans reading this Diary before you unsubscribe from these emails and block me on every single platform of social media?

I have a message for you.

When moments like this happen, soak it in. Enjoy it. Not all great times last.

Drake Maye is inevitable and might win more Super Bowls than Tom Brady, so that’s a little bit different of a situation. BUT you can’t all be as fortunate as me when it comes to sports fandom.

While I hold onto the first place Patriots, I encourage you to go look at your life and find one small thing to be excited about.

If you live in the areas of Buffalo, Miami or New York, I truly feel sorry for you. There’s gotta be some type of small win in your world that you can look to. Understand it might be a challenge, but you got this, AFC East foes. Hang tight.

If you’re lucky enough to not live in these areas, I’m happy for you.

I am about four more victories away from booking my Super Bowl travel in February.

So, while I browse Google Flights to San Fran, can you think about something from this week you can celebrate?

Because at the end of the day, this all comes down to one thing: enjoying the wins.

It can be super small wins.

Whether it’s your football team finally finding a franchise quarterback, getting a text back you weren’t expecting, or you perfecting that one dinner dish that your significant other has been chirping at you about for months for being slightly off, those moments are the good stuff.

These moments don’t always announce themselves. And they don’t last forever.

But they remind you why you show up, why you care, and why you keep going even when things have been rough.

Sports have always been the easiest way for me to measure happiness. Like if the Pats lost that game Sunday to the Bucs, I would’ve been depressed all week and this Diary would’ve read a whole lot differently. So, I apologize to everyone not from Boston reading that it didn’t turn out that way for you.

You can’t always tell when you’re winning.

So, take a step back and reflect on the positives in your life.

The Patriots are back, the city feels alive, and hope is creeping back into the building. Even if this ride doesn’t end with a parade, it’s already worth celebrating.

Let yourself feel it.

Wherever you are, whatever your version of 8–2 looks like, soak it in. You’ve earned it.

Now follow me on Instagram and check out the IG Story for live updates from the party bus.

LFG!!!!
