LIGHTER SIDE SUPER BOWL DIARY | DAY 4
Pats fans arrive, and it's magicSometimes you stroll up to the plate, get a hanger, and rip an upper-deck blast that leaves the visiting crowd in shock.
Well … New England … that’s what we did last night. WAAAAAY BACK! At first, I wasn’t sure how the Rattle Donkey party was going to shake out. I have to admit, I had my doubts. But why on earth would I doubt Patriots Nation? Never again, I tell you that. Never, EVER again. The people came, my newest of friends, to chill, get some T-shirts, and show their pride. I thought it was tremendous when Ed Harding came by and rode the bull. No offense, Ed. But when the “Best Damn Sports Show, Period!” showed up, and Brooke Burns – also known as the host of NBC’s “Dog Eat Dog,” rode the bull, suddenly nothing else mattered. Did I forget to mention: BROOKE BURNS WAS THERE! It was surreal. I’m hosting a party of New Englanders, hanging out and meeting some incredibly cool people (including my Super Bowl Mama, Joanne Wall from Middleton, R.I.), and within minutes a former Baywatch star is dancing on the bar. AT MY PARTY. WHAAAAAAT?! And then … with a bright light shining in my eyes, Brooke Burns is asking me what the heck the Rattle Donkey is and what we’re doing there. “Well … we’re here to show everyone that we’re the best damn football team in 2004, period.” That’s what I said. And I meant it. I don’t know if it will get on the show … this segment will air Monday when they summarize Brooke’s adventures in Houston, but be sure to check it out. And yes, I’m decked out in old-school Patriots garb. Because it should never be any other way. All right … I haven’t been to bed again, so I need some shut-eye. Apparently I’m on a VIP list for a Shannon Elizabeth party. Enjoy the snow, suckers. Just kidding. I love you all, and you know it.
See you on the Lighter Side. |
