We don't know if none of this happens without him - the 10 trips to the Super Bowl this century, the six championships secured, with a seventh pending Sunday night's outcome. Tom Brady probably becomes a superb quarterback even if Adam Vinatieri had shanked that 45-yard, tying field goal on that snow-globe Saturday night against the Raiders in February 2002. Bill Belichick probably wins dozens, maybe even hundreds, of football games as a head coach.

"It's a blast to be out here again," Steve said. "My first day here, I was walking to go pick up my media credential, and one of my crew members said, 'Hey, look, that's Veronica.' I said, 'Veronica's in Miami, playing right now for Unrivaled.' She goes, 'No, up on the billboard.' and I'm like, 'Oh my goodness, that is Veronica.'"

Name a famous Boston athlete, and you've probably seen them yelling "we all we got, we all we need" in Patriots hype videos over the past few weeks. David Ortiz, Jayson Tatum, Randy Moss, Jaylen Brown, and Ty Law are saying it. Mark Wahlberg is saying it. The videos show firefighters in uniform saying it. There are signs on the highway beaming the phrase in orange letters as local drivers are reminded to drive safely.

Outside of New England, it's tough being a Patriots fan. Just ask some fellow Boston sports fanatics in Seattle, whose Seahawks will face off against the Pats this Sunday in a Super Bowl match-up. "Patriots fatigue is a real thing - but not for me," said Pats fan and former Charlton resident Lee Webb about his Seahawks friends. Webb moved to the Seattle area in 2016, a year after the Patriots beat the Seahawks 28-24 during the 2015 Super Bowl.

"Everyone was so excited that the team was heading back to the Super Bowl," Joseph said. "So we decided to get the kids together."

The New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks faced off in Super Bowl XLIX in 2015, a memorable matchup the Patriots won 28-24. With a second-and-goal at New England's 1-yard-line late in the fourth quarter, Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson was intercepted by Malcolm Butler in one of the more shocking Super Bowl moments. The Seahawks did not reach the Super Bowl since that matchup until this season.

"We all we got. We all we need,"

When I was getting the call, my TV was a little delayed, and the Chicago Bears, I thought that they were up. And when I got the phone call I thought that it was the Chicago Bears. And they told me it was the New England Patriots, I was smiling but my heart sunk at the same time. Because during the draft process everyone was telling me Patriots is the last team, the last one that you want to go to.

As Tom Brady said on The Herd with Colin Cowherd this week, Mike Vrabel will see every slight made against his New England Patriots, and use it to motivate his players ahead of Super Bowl LX. Fortunately for Vrabel, he hasn't had to work very hard to find bulletin board material. If anything, he's going to need a bigger board. New England opened as legitimate underdogs to the Seattle Seahawks following the NFC Championship Game, and the gap only seems to be widening in the eye of the national media.

The New England Patriots have been able to ride a motley crew of individuals to Super Bowl LX, including a wide receiver in Kayshon Boutte who appeared to be completely left for dead by the NFL after some personal struggles at LSU. Boutte's most infamous problem was related to an unhealthy relationship with gambling on sports. This ultimately led to him seeing his pro stock fall off a cliff and struggling to get acclimated to life in the NFL after he arrived in New England.
