A Message of Gratitude and Love
“Nowhere in America are pro sports fans as passionate as in New England and for 24 years, I was blessed to feel your passion and power,” Belichick’s letter read. “The Patriots are the only NFL team representing SIX states but in reality, Patriots Nation knows no borders.”
Undaunted by Weather, Unwavering in Support
“You were undaunted by weather, attended scorching hot training camp practices and braved Foxborough’s coldest, wettest, snowiest, and windiest days.… Your thoughtful letters offered support, critique and creative play suggestions. You watched on TV, the internet and from your stadium seats.”
A Nation That Goes the Distance
“You traveled from coast to coast and internationally. Numerous times, you overtook opposing stadiums and were the last fans standing. We loved it! You gave your precious time, resources and energy to our team. We appreciated it!…”
A Celebration of Unforgettable Moments
“Six times, you packed Boston by the millions for parades that were truly a two-way expression of gratitude and love. The images from those days are burned in my memory.”
An Appreciation for the Quirks
“You may even have enjoyed my fashion sense and press conferences, or may you just tolerated them.… I loved coaching here and together, we experienced some amazing moments.… THANK YOU ALL.”
A Legendary Coach’s Legacy
