Gillete Stadium is a long way away. Like 1,400 miles away. Like a 22-hour-drive-by-car away. No one has the time or gas money for that. So it's easy to feel left out with all the magic happening over in Foxborough, Massachusetts (especially after their win against the Saints).
But it's all right. Because here in South Florida, there's a pocket of New England pride that can't think of any better way to spend its Sunday than with a lobster roll and the Pats game on. Its members are dressed in the same shade of blue and red and pronounce "coffee" the same way you do.
