We wrote last month about our first brush with the raw emotion of why football means so much, and harked back to our first job out of college at the Tarrytown (NY) Daily News.
We introduced you to a nose tackle at Sleepy Hollow High School named Marty Fine who took issue with our prediction that the Headless Horsemen would lose to John Jay in their first game. Afterward, when the Horsemen had beaten John Jay, Fine ran over and started screaming and cursing at us, telling us to take our pick and do something with it that is unprintable. And that was the tame stuff.
Well, we finally tracked Marty down, and he's a head coach at Bryant College in Providence, Rhode Island. That's where the Patriots used to train for years before the operation moved to Gillette Stadium in Foxboro. Marty is going a doing a bang-up job turning the Bryant program around, and he sends his regards.
He tells us that he'd love to coach one day and have me write about him, which would be completely cool. Get this guy in the NFL!

There's a really nice seafood and Italian restaurant called Parente`s right off campus. Good food reasonable prices. On Wednesdays up the road in Woonsocket there's a 3.95 all you can eat spaghetti dinner at Cookies. If you go a little further up the road to Wendell's in Norton mass. (Near Foxboro) you can get the hottest wings on the planet (Triple Dare Wings). I miss Nuew England, but I stillhate the Pats! :-)
