Description: I went down to visit my friend THE GAMBLER for this game in 2000. THE GAMBLER grew up in Jersey and is a lifelong J-E-T-S fan. This was the second game of the year and the second game of the Belichik era. Right after he left Parcelles and the Jets in a less than amicable manner. The Patriots dominated the first three and a half quarters and then Testaverde hit Wayne Chrebet for 2 TDs and the win turned into a loss.
The Patriots were obviously much improved, but there is no way anyone could have known they were going to have the kind of success they have enjoyed since. They haven't had a losing season since 2000. This was the the first time I had heard the term MASSHOLE. Someone held up a sign that said "Belichik is a MASSHOLE". I've been using that term since!
I spend the day of the game walking around Manhattan. It was exactly a year to the day before everything changed.
