An Illustrated History Of The New England Patriots

Book cover for "The Pats"

  The New England Patriots have become a dynasty, though it didn’t begin that way. Love them or hate them, Pats have captured this country’s attention like no other franchise. From two award-winning authors, this is the first complete story of a legendary team and its five championship trophies.

In "The Pats: An Illustrated History of the New England Patriots", Glenn Stout and Richard A. Johnson tell the history in full and in colorful detail, along with essays by Richard Johnson, Upton Bell, Leigh Montville, Howard Bryant, Ron Borges, Lesley Visser, and George Plimpton.

Richard Johnson is the author of "New England Patriots: Yesterday and Today." He is also the curator of the Sports Museum of New England. A native of Worcester, he currently lives in Braintree.

Joe talks to people on the radio for a living. In addition to countless impressive human "gets" - he has talked to a lot of Muppets. Joe grew up in Philadelphia, has been on the area airwaves for more than 25 years and currently lives in Washington County, NY with his wife, Kelly, and their dog, Brady. And yes, he reads every single book.
