Tailgate Confessional: The Ultimate Sin 4

Posted on October 19, 2009 by Joe Gill
I watched Wes Welker and the rest of the Pats from a warm bar stool at Bar Louie.

What could the Ultimate Sin be?

Lose your tickets? Have too many frosty beverages and pass out in your seats? Forgot to fill the propane?  Left the game and missed a last second victory(for the record I stayed for the Monday Night game versus Buffalo but left during the snow bowl versus the Raiders in 2001)?

Well all these things can call for your exile from the Kingdom of Tailgate.

However, I committed the Ultimate Sin.

I had tickets for the Blizzard of 59 yesterday against the Titans. The game where they destroyed the team from Tennessee in every way possible. The game the Patriots set league and franchise records.

The game when it bleepin’ snowed in October!!!

Video Tailgate Confessional: Pats Versus Falcons 0

Posted on September 29, 2009 by Joe Gill

My girlfriend and I braved a wet and damp Gillette Stadium this past weekend for the game versus the Falcons.  Some Walmart rain gear, a tarp, beer, curry chicken, and Filipino pork made for a grand tailgate experience.

Section 336 was rocking but missing members of the Tailgate Tribe in row 17! Wish you were there to root on the Pats to their 26-10 victory!

Next Game 10/18 versus the Titans.

Check in for the next Video Tailgate Confessional!

    • Dwight Evans

      Dwight "Dewey" Evans

      We honor Dwight Evans as the Boston Sports Then and Now Athlete of the Month. With the opening of the baseball season around the corner, the choice of “Dewey” Evans is fitting. He was a player who gave his all, all the time to the Boston Red Sox where he played from 1972 to 1990. He is one of the best players not in the Baseball Hall Of Fame.

      Dwight Michael Evans made an immediate impact in his professional baseball career by winning the International League’s MVP in 1972. With AAA Louisville, Evans had 17 hrs, 95 RBI and hit .300.

      Dewey was called up to the tail end of the ’72 season. On September 16th, he pinch ran and was 0-1 at the plate. He played 18 games and decent numbers during his call up. In 57 plate appearances, Evans had 1 hr, 6 RBI and batted .263.

      Dwight Evans called right field in Fenway Park his home. He was a defensive standout and offensively could hold his own.
