This is about the most fun I've ever had as an editor. Jerry Thornton is a fan’s fan and WEEI radio’s voice of the Patriots. He's also a stand-up comic and a naturally witty, hilarious, and brutally honest writer. From Darkness to Dynasty is the now-forgotten story of all the many, many years when the Patriots frankly sucked. Hilariously sucked. It returns us to the thrilling, perilous days of yesteryear, when the Patriots were the laughing stock of the NFL—a welcome corrective for those who hate the Patriots and a useful reminder for those who love them that all glory is fleeting.
