Welcome

Welcome to PatriotsExPatriot.

This is a blog by a guy who happens to be a rabid New England Patriots fan, transplanted at an early age to Northern Virginia. It also happens to have "sex" embedded in its title, a fact of which I am fully aware. I do apologize to those who accessed PatriotsExPatriot hoping to find important information about human sexuality, but appreciate your stopping in. I also figure that somewhere on the order of 1 in 32 people looking for important information about human sexuality who are also fans of American football, will be New England Patriots fans. If you are one, give your fingers and eyes a break, and stay a while.

I would love to tell you that the author of this blog is a well-known sports writer, whose insights have been widely published, and who is universally known as the Nostradamus of the sports world. But as this would be utter bullcrap, I will tell you nothing of the sort.

The author of this blog, vis., me, does have a tiny bit of publishing history, primarily in the realm of political humor. Said author also has a bit of poetry to his credit. There. Said author said it. You got a problem with that? Okay.

More importantly, said author is inordinately interested in all things having to do with the New England Patriots, the NFL, and their various vicarious fan-boy offshoots, such as Madden and Fantasy Football. Said author never got past Pop Warner League himself, but, like many such sad cases, often imagined for many early formative years that he would score winning touchdowns in the Super Bowl. Said author makes no apologies for the vicarious nature of his fandom, since it is pretty much the same as the fandom of a college football washout, or an ex-NFL journeyman. Knowledge levels vary, but there is nothing more annoying for a fan to hear from another fan that he is a fanboy who never actually played the game. Well, for your information, there was no more feared lineman in all of midget league, except for maybe 20 other guys in a four-county area, than said author. Consider that fact to be said author's football bona fides.

You'll also find here occasional rants about everything from anti-Semitism and Middle East politics, to the sorry state of whatever said author's pet gripe is on a particular day. Said author hopes you'll find said rants as entertaining to read, as said author finds them interesting to write.

And now, if it is alright with you, said author will drop the bloody third-person affectation, and adopt a much more familiar first-person voice.

Welcome again to PatriotsExPatriot, your source for random ranting, football fanaticism, and a ridiculously verbose presentation style.
