The Razor’s Edge Tailgate

With the final game of the season and numerous records on the line, the Patriotic faithful descended upon Zip’s abode in Nashua to cheer our boys on and see history in the making. And history making we did!

Mrs. B’s Tailgate Chili made an appearance after a month on the sidelines and joined the other dishes on the bar/buffet for the pre-game feasting. Naturally, Zip made jambalaya and there was a variety of other foods to sample as well, including grinders, calzones, chicken wings, pastry, and snacks.

The cigar crew made its way outside for pregame and postgame stogies while everyone else found spots in various rooms of the Patriotic Shrine to chat, watch the pregame shows, and feast.

Of course, just prior to kickoff, Erdo Ed made his weekly call and we had our traditional jello shot toast. There’s no messing with the mojo for this crew! Quite a few folks bought Full Tilt Full Time hoodies and our charity raffle raised $142 this week.

There was quite a crowd at Zip’s and if I had to guess, I’d say there had to definitely be 54 people there, including the 2 youngest Pats fans, Matthew and Quinn. We didn’t lose the faith even when the boys were down by 12 at the half and certainly cheered as each record was tied and fell and we came back to defeat the Giants. Quinn got his charlee bears and the humans took a shot or indulged in a human charlee bear truffle with each score. Jenifer did her duty as expert bell ringer as well.

The best record of all though was the 16-0 season, that’s for sure. Individual accolades are great but that’s not what this TEAM is about. So, congrats to Brady and Moss but most especially to your New England Patriots! Time for a week of rest, then on to the playoffs! Just 3 wins to go, baby!
