News Blitz 2/8: Parading through Boston

Today’s Patriots.com News Blitz has full coverage of New England’s fifth championship parade through the fan-lined streets of Boston.

Patriots Nation is a passionate group that supports a passionate team.

Tuesday afternoon both ends of that passion were on full display as more than 1 million fans lined the streets of Boston to celebrate the Patriots fifth Super Bowl victory with the emotional players and coaches.

Players and fans alike ignored the weather to party in unison.

The Boston Globe called it “a grand celebration after a historic game.” The Globe says that Patriots quarterback Tom Brady "continue[d] to troll Roger Goodell" at the parade with a t-shirt display on the quarterback's Duckboat. The Globe proclaims that shirtless tight end Rob Gronkowski was one of the many Patriots who enjoyed themselves at the parade.

The Boston Herald says that the weather wasn’t able to put a chill on the Patriots celebration. "To tell you the truth, I wasn't planning on partying, but the fans were asking for it," Gronkowski said. "We're giving the fans what they want. I party for the fans. That's how we do it. That's how we roll. The parade was unbelievable."

ESPNBoston.com writes about Bill Belichick having to convince a mic’ed up Julian Edelman that the Super Bowl was actually over and New England had won it. ESPNBoston.com passes along Brady telling WEEI radio that the “prognosis is good” for his mother, who has reportedly been battling illness for 18 months.
