Joe Andruzzi, Three Time Super Bowl Champion, Part 1/2
On this timely episode, coming the day after Tom Brady Day at Gillette Stadium and on 9/11, we speak with someone familiar with both topics, Joe Andruzzi.
We talk to Joe about college and getting to the NFL and how the team had fun with a skinny, 4th string rookie QB in 2000. Joe then gives us a detailed account of he and his family's thoughts and feelings on 9/11. (Joe has 3 three brothers who were FDNY including one who ran into Tower One.) Mr. Kraft had the foresight to make his brothers captains for the first game back after the September 11th attacks, 9/23/01 vs The Jets.
As Pats fans know, September 23rd is also a milestone day in the history of the Patriots. Joe talks about this and explains the team's process moving from Drew Bledsoe behind center to Tom Brady and their drive to Super Bowl XXXVI.
We also have some fun conversing about Super Bowl 38 and compare the two Patriots starting quarterbacks Joe protected in New England with the gunslinger he paved the way for prior in Green Bay, Brett Farve.
Take a listen to this emotional yet entertaining episode.
