home this evening marks a Monumental
moment in my life it's a c celebration
of 20 years here in New England playing
for the
NFL I'm overwhelmed with gratitude and a
deep sense of
Honor so let me say thank you for all
that you've done to help me to help us
dreams you guys are
amazing what other fans in the world
would spend hours on Route One every
Sunday to get to a stadium in the middle
woods we've even got four guys who went
to jail for me sitting right here as rkk
I miss this place and I miss you and I
didn't even encourage you guys to get
lubed up tonight but you guys have shown
tonight tonight's a celebration of
everyone who's ever cared about this
organization everyone who has worked cheered
cheered
sacrificed for it past present and
future and I promise this isn't like the
last time I was on stage with rkk and
coach bich and Jules and grank and Randy
in La a month ago those were the hardest
hits I've ever taken in my
life but there nobody here is take any
any hits tonight I have so much love and
respect for you all if you spend time in
this organization you are
blessed we're
blessed because we learn so many things
that most people never have the
opportunity to learn that nothing of
significance in life is accomplish
lished as an
individual nobody individually hangs
does here in New England it's always
about we and us not me or
mine relationships are built on shared
experiences and the most meaningful
thing in my life are my
relationships I truly wish I had more
all so how do I sum up two decades in
New England and one short speech the
ample the answer is simple you can't
it's hard for me to properly express my
gratitude and my appreciation for how my
time here is added to my life there are
too many Lessons Learned too many
stories to be told too many incredible
moments and achievements we all
experience together it would take me 30
days to get through it all not 30 minutes
there are so many people to thank and I
apologize in advance if I leave anybody
out so with that being said thank you to
Foundation your love and your commitment
to your family is
unmatched to my sisters and me you are
everything I'll never be able to thank
you as much as you
deserve sometimes it takes someone to
believe in you when you don't believe in
yourself and along with so many other
me my sisters Moren Julie Nancy people
ask me where I get my mental toughness I
was the fourth best athlete in my own
house growing up I had no
choice my sisters would always stick up
for me when the older boy boys in the
neighborhood Paul and Bobby are sitting
right down there you did tell me go long
yeah go keep going Tommy keep going all
the way down the
street take a left yeah go that
way and then they would say game over
let's go home and I would be standing
down there like they finally included
me but you toughened me up in so many
ways and my sisters there stood up me
stood up for me every single step of the
to my kids Jack Benny viie your dad
world your smiles outshine the morning
sun and where I live now that's a pretty brilliant
