Just found out I'm related to a Patriot.

So I was having breakfast with my dad this morning, and he mentioned that his father's family is from Greenville, Ohio. Also from Greenville, Ohio? Patriots Left Tackle Matt Light.

My dad's side of my family carries the surname "Licht", which happens to be German for "light". Apparently one side of the family changed the name after they emigrated from Germany, and the other didn't.

So yeah. Apparently the guy protecting Tom Brady's blindside is a distant cousin.

I may share some genetic material with a Patriot, but I bleed Speed Blue.

And yes, next family reunion, I’m making my special Lead Pipe To The Knee Casserole.

My actual last name is Light.

Okay, long story I won't tell now, but in short

Matt Light sent me a large picture of himself blocking Dwight Freeney. He signed it and everything. It’s been hard to hate the guy ever since.

that is impressive

just think of how many pictures of him against Freeney he had to go through to find one of him cleanly blocking Freeney.

It's not just your perceptions that can be wrong. Even your memory is often incomplete or possibly flat out wrong.
