Patriots Make History

Everyone gathered around a TV with plenty of food and friends to watch Super Bowl LI and if you didn’t.. you made a huge mistake. The New England Patriots beat the Atlanta Falcons 34-28. The game was nothing short of amazing and had every fan on the edge of their seat. It was the first Super Bowl to go into overtime and Brady took home his fifth ring.

Pats fans everywhere were closing their eyes, threatening to turn the TV off, and heartbroken as the score was 28-12 in the last ten minutes of the game. This was it. I have to admit I was convinced it was over and the Falcons had beat us. Julian Edelman and Danny Amendola scored the Patriots two touchdowns bringing the score to a tie. The first Super Bowl overtime in NFL history.

In overtime the Patriots won the coin toss calling heads and taking the ball first. Tom Brady also known as and commonly referred to as “the GOAT” passed the ball little at a time watching the clock carefully. In overtime the Pats went 75 yards in 8 plays for James White to score the winning touchdown after a call on pass interference. They didn’t only make history going into overtime at the Super Bowl, they made history with the huge comeback.

To all the Falcons fans that were convinced you were going to win and were trash talking at half time… that’s why we play the whole game! The New England Patriots have taken on their fair share of hate but I would just like to say they handle it in the best way possible:

Tom Brady appeared in a Shields Health Care commercial trolling Roger Goodell. It starts as the nurse asks him to remove all of his jewelry and put in the locker. As he takes off all four of his rings but then says “Actually, no I forgot this one” and pulls out the Super Bowl 51 ring. The nurse responds that he’s going to need a bigger locker and he says “Roger that.”


Then, Patriots defensive coordinator, Matt Patricia is seen wearing a Roger Goodell clown shirt as he steps off the plane.

The best part of after the Super Bowl is all of the memes. People sure do get creative. Here’s a few:

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
