Founded in 1960 as a member of the AFL and calling themselves the Boston Patriots until 1970, the Patriots were initially a mediocore team. Made the playoffs just twice in the 1970s and 3 times in the 1980s. However, 1985 featured a miraculous run in which they made the Super Bowl (as a wild card) after winning 3 straight road playoff games. However, they were crushed by the Bears in the title game (the Steelers became the first team to win a Super Bowl after 3 straight road playoff victories this year). Became a decent franchise in the 1990s with eccentric coach Bill Parcells and quarterback Drew Bledsoe with 4 playoff berths and a loss in the Super Bowl in 1996. Established a dynasty in recent years with Tom Brady, a former 6th round draft pick, as a superstar quarterback. Have made the playoffs 4 times in the last 5 years, included 3 Super Bowl wins. Won their 3 titles by a combined 9 points- Super Bowls XXXVI and XXXVIII on last second Adam Vinatieri field goals and Super Bowl XXXIX after holding off an Eagles comeback.
"And with 3 seconds left, Adam Vinatieri sets up in a tie game, trying to win the Super Bowl for New England. That kick is on the way, it's long enough and good! The New England Patriots have shocked the Rams and have won the Super Bowl."

Get the New England Patriots mug.An awesome track from The Postal Service's album 'Go First', second only perhaps to 'Such Great Heights' or 'The District Sleeps Alone Tonight'. Definitely a great song for any mix CDs or any other listening. Good message, good song, great band!
I'll be the phonograph that plays your favorite albums back as you're lying there, drifting to sleep, I'll be the platform shoes and undo what heredity's done to you, so you won't have to strain to look into my eyes, I'll be the winter coat with buttons zipped up to the throat, with the collar up so you won't catch cold...

Get the New Orleans Steamer mug.Important link in the Northeast megalopolis from Boston to Richmond. Highly regarded as "one of the worst roads in America," but it gets its bad rap only from the very northern section, whereas the section from Exit 12 and south is clean and less congested. Only freeway link from New York City to Baltimore, so many use the NJTP as a through route. This is why New Jersey has a bad image, since the REAL New Jersey is away from the Turnpike in the form of beautiful beaches, historic towns, and vast farmland (despite being the most densely populated state in the Union). This highway is also called the "New Jersey Speedway" since police will not stop you unless you're going above 80 MPH.
I once took the New Jersey Turnpike to New York, but when I got there, I asked myself, "Why waste my time in that shithole?" and turned around to go to Philadelphia instead for a cheesesteak.

Get the New Jersey Turnpike mug.An administration influenced largely by partisan misinformation, fact distortion and data manipulation that results in dangerous, ineffective and inconsistent policy; a condition grossly exposed and made obvious in times of national crisis.
Every year millions of citizens are killed in car crashes, shootings, drug overdoses... and we don't shut the country down over those!
True. But those are examples of FAILURE despite on-going attempts to PREVENT those deaths; also, NONE OF THEM ARE FUCKING CONTAGEOUS. What you've got there is a Fox News Presidency. Need proof? Not a hoax, not magically disappearing, not treated effectively by Hydroxychloroquine, not everyone gets a test that wants a test, not a perfect test...

Get the Fox News Presidency mug.Meaning to commit suicide/OD as a reference to pat the bunny in his songs New Mexico from Johnny hobo and the freight trains and Your Heart Is a Muscle the Size of Your Fist by Ramshackle glory.
Like the time that our friend Chuck came over to our house
He said he needed somebody to take care of his pets
'Cause he was going out of town
I asked him, “Where,” and he said “I'm going to new mexico”
I asked if I could get a ride
He said: “No, you don’t want to follow me
Where it is I’m going”
He backed out of the driveway
That was the last time we saw him
'Cause he drove straight to his parent’s cabin
And put a bullet in his head
He said he needed somebody to take care of his pets
'Cause he was going out of town
I asked him, “Where,” and he said “I'm going to new mexico”
I asked if I could get a ride
He said: “No, you don’t want to follow me
Where it is I’m going”
He backed out of the driveway
That was the last time we saw him
'Cause he drove straight to his parent’s cabin
And put a bullet in his head
