Some crummy pics from Gillette Stadium
My wife secured two tickets to the New England Patriots game against the occasionally breathing Cincinnati Bengals, her old hometown team. We’d been to Foxboro Stadium a couple of times, but this was our first trip to Gillette Stadium. Very impressive building. Top-notch all around. Well, Bob Kraft didn’t personally thank me for coming to his stadium, but otherwise I have no complaints.
Let’s not kid ourselves about the game, by the way. The Bengals poured everything they had into the game, while the Patriots were content just being the better team. Effort took the Bengals a long way, but it didn’t get them an A, much less a W. I wonder if Adam Vinatieri was pissed after the game? I mean, how is kicking five extra points going to win him Special Teams Player of the Week awards? No long field goals, no touchdown passes? What the heck?

I was going to say something clever about the lighthouse on top of the scoreboard, but I’ll settle for this shot of the jumbotron.

Monster.com’s psycho touchdown monster. Funny.

The New England Patriots offense at work.

The New England Patriots defense at work.

A lot of people would probably say that this cheerleader is particularly attractive, and I am not convinced they’re wrong.

As a longtime New England Patriots fan, I would like to conclude with the following: Thank you, Bob Kraft! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
