A Little Love to the Pats Blogger

by Brad Wells on Nov 11, 2009 5:18 AM EST in SB Nation

MaPatsFan, the head writer over at Pats Pulpit and a person I consider a friend (even though he has horrid taste in football teams), recently lost his father to congestive heart failure. The senior Pats fan passed away this past weekend, which saw the Patriots defeat their rivals, the Dolphins, 27-17:

I have been away, off and on, for the past several weeks. My father has been battling congestive heart failure for 3 years and finally decided to rest this past Saturday, November 7th. I had a desperate need to participate in the last part of his life; without friends like JohnHannahRules and Marima, I could not have stayed focused on that mission. They are truly wonderful people.

Please head over to Pats Pulpit and give MaPatsFan some support during this difficult time. It would be appreciated.

Also, just to prove that I am really nothing more than a sentimental softy at heart, we will break with tradition and offer up a little salute to MaPatsFan Sr. by writing two words I have never written on this blog: Go Pats!

I do not wish hate apon the Patriots

I’m sorry for your lose. Its something we all have to face inevitably. No matter race, religion, or sex we will all go.

I can't say go pats.

But I will say, Go Pats fans, what would these teams be without their fans?
I’ve lost my parents as well, and I know from experience that the things that we love, like football, get us through tough times.

That sucks.

But I’ve only said those 2 words once (when the Pats played the Chargers in the 2006 playoffs), and I don’t plan on saying them again. Instead, go Pats bloggers! I’m looking forward to a great game that will once again leave the league speechless.

Now a proud annoyance on Stampede Blue, 18to88, Indy Football Report, and Phil B's blog.

Man, I need a life...

Random fact of the week from the empty void that is my mind: This is my dad's favorite scene from one of my all-time favorite shows. Full of win, IMO.
