Welcome back. Your dreams were your ticket out. Welcome back, to that same old place that you laughed about. Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back. -John Sebastian
Public Service Announcement: Ok here we go! Happy days are here again. The skies above are clear again. So lets sing a song of cheer again. Happy days are here again.
Yes, sports fans, happy days are indeed here again. Troy Brown is back again. I do not like the circumstances. Losing a monster like Roosevelt Colvin is never good news. But getting back my favorite Patriot is. Oh my baby’s comin’ home tomorrow. Ain’t that good news? Yeah, ain’t that news? It sure is.
I love this cat. Troy Fitzgerald Brown. What can Brown do for you? A whole lot. How about win football games? That’s what. Football players play football. Players make plays. Troy Brown plays football. Troy Brown makes plays. Troy Brown has been making plays for the New England Patriots for fifteen seasons.
- Like the punt he returned in the AFC Championship game against the Steelers.
- Like when as a DB, he shut down Peyton Manning and the Colts’ high-flying attack in the 2004 playoffs.
- Like when he lined up as emergency quarterback to further “develop his legend.”
- Like when he instinctively ripped the ball out of the Chargers’ Marlon McCree’s grasp to ensure victory.
Troy Brown has been making plays in twenty playoff appearances. Troy Brown is the team’s all-time leading receiver with 557 receptions. He has spent his entire career with the Patriots since being drafted in the eighth round in 1993. Drafted in the eighth round out of Marshall. We are Marshall!
At Marshall, Brown led the NCAA Division 1-AA in both kickoff and punt return average in 1991. His career kickoff return average still stands as an NCAA record. So do his four kickoff returns for touchdowns. He scored a touchdown every eight times he touched the football. Yowza! At Marshall, Brown claimed the Thundering Herd its first National Championship with him as its primary wide receiver and returner. From the ashes we rose!
Troy Brown rose. He rose in the championship game. In the championship game, Brown sealed the deal by intercepting a Hail Mary pass in the waning seconds of the game. Playing both sides of the ball. Gordie Lockbaum style. Good thing too.
Brown may also be needed in the defensive secondary. Again. Not only was Colvin put out of commission in that Eagles game, but Randall Gay hurt his back as well. Troy had been nursing a knee injury since the start of camp. According to NFL rules, the team had until Tuesday to activate him, place him on IR, or release him. Well, it looks like this football player still has some football playing to do. And I, for one, am glad.
It just wouldn’t be the same. Wouldn’t be the same old game. I proclaim it would be a shame if we did not hear his name. Brown was on all three of the Patriots’ Super Bowl Championship teams, as well as the Super Bowl XXXI losing team. He needs to be there for this one. He deserves to be there for this one. Third Down Troy Brown. What can Brown do for you? He can take us all to Disney World. Welcome back Troy!
