Aerosmith is returning to Fenway Park two decades after it "began" hosting concerts. But the park has actually hosted many notable, non-baseball events dating back to the early 1900s, including a memorable music festival in 1973.
After 22 seasons, veteran quarterback and former New England Patriot Tom Brady officially announced his retirement from the game of football on February 1, 2022. He was a 7-time Super Bowl champion.
No biggie. Just the biggest regular-season game in the history of the NFL. Tom Brady, who spent 20 years and garnered six Super Bowl rings, comes back to Gillette to face his old team and the coach that many believe was the reason for his departure to become Florida Man. This is epic. Shakespearian. With the entire nation watching.
This is not good. Patriot players are due this week in Foxborough to get their COVID-19 tests and start practicing. But already, it sounds like SIX Patriots have said, "no, thank you,' and are opting out of playing for the season. Presumably because of the threat of getting the disease. Two of these Pats players are big-time stars and starters. Yup, Patrick Chung, and Dont'a Hightower are out.
