NEW ENGLAND HOME OPENER
Patriots vs. Seahawks
September 15, 2024
Gillette Stadium | Foxboro,  MA
Let’s be honest: 

we all knew 
the morning of September 15th 
would mark 
t h e  p e a k  
of the 2024 Patriots season. 
 
Coming off a big-time 
road underdog win 
in Cincinnati, 
spirits were high. 
 
It was a perfect sunny day
in Foxboro
with the runner-up from Super Bowl XLIX 
in town
🥈
(whattup Seahawks!)
 
That’s why 
the Patriots home opener 
lands at #7 on my list of 
Top 10 Games I attended in 2024. 
 
For one fleeting Sunday, 
we were all thinking playoffs 
 
(and hey,
ill be honest, 
I was thinking super bowl).
 
The day started with 
espresso martinis

If you’ve never tried 
their coffee rum 
to make an espresso martini 

you’re missing out
🍸 
 
From there, 
we made our way to 
Sunday church, 
where the great 
@father_foxboro_ 
delivered his home opener sermon. 
 
As always,
his words moved the congregation 
🙏
 
Check out 
an exclusive piece 
I produced 
about Father Foxboro 
on @bsidesports!
 
Inside Gillette, 
it was a scorcher, 
but luckily our seats 
were in the shade. 
 
I took in the game 
with my buddy @gabesalter7 —
it was our first ever game together, 
 
besides the 8,271 others 
we’ve been to together. 
 
As for the game? 
Classic 
2020s 
Patriots,
heartbreak. 
 
We should have, 
could have won, 
but we didn’t.
 
Lost in OT, 
and Jerod Mayo 
coached like a total woos 
😒
 
Still, 
always a damn good time 
at Gillette Stadium. 
 
Highlights included 
 
scoring multiple offensive touchdowns 
(crazy idea: let’s do that more often), 
 
catching up with long time homie Eric 
at halftime,
 
& forcing Gabe 
to wait in the parking lot 
while I ran around grabbing
postgame content for @lfgboston. 
 
He wasn’t thrilled, 
but hey, 
we avoided traffic 
and made it to @chipotle by dinner. 
 
Call it a win-win-win-loss 
in my book. 
 
RIP 2024 Pats Playoff Hopes 
September 8th 2024 – September 15th
