Drew Bledsoe: The Birth Of a Dynasty

My interview with New England Patriots Hall Of Fame quarterback Drew Bledsoe. We talk about everything from his upbringing in the small town of WallaWalla, Washington to his rise to fame in New England as the catalyst to the Patriots Dynasty after being the top pick in the 1993 NFL draft. #ForeverNE #TheDynasty #DrewBledsoe #PatsNation #OurBleepinCity #newenglandpatriots #NFL #patriots #Dynasty #doubleback #Dynasty ‪@patriots‬ ‪@NFL‬ ‪@NFLFilms‬

Drew Bledsoe & Terry Glenn we’re incredible to watch play. Thank you for the awesome memories…!

[@Mikey2Gunzz]

Well said, It really was a thing of beauty!

[@CriticalThinker08]

Drew Bledsoe was the foundation of the Patriots and the bedrock of that team for so long before he got traded to the Bills. Thanks for all the great memories Drew, you were an awesome #1 overall draft pick and a top QB. The class you showed after getting hurt against the Jets made all the difference as well as when you finished off Pittsburgh in AFC title game before SB 36

[@Mikey2Gunzz]

Very nicely said. He was the ultimate team player. We do not win that 1st Superbowl without him.

[@FantasySportsZen]

I remember listening to those blacked out games on the radio too. Good times. Those guys were the best, so much better than TV commentary imo. Drew is the man. Go Pats.

[@michaelboucher3100]

What an awesome conversation and unbelievably cool of Drew to join. So sick of interviews just trying to drive controversy. Was like sitting at a bar and Drew walked in and just felt like chatting. Well done! And thanks to Drew - the guy who saved the Patriots franchise from leaving/insignificance!

[@Swizzle33]

Exactly the vibe that Mike likes to bring. And Drew is a great guy all around.

[@Mikey2Gunzz]

Thank you so much! So perfectly said. Appreciate you!!

[@cabie58]

Drew is a good dude.

[@Mikey2Gunzz]

He’s a class act through and through!

[@rickdonnelly3937]

Very, very cool of Drew to do this. Thanks Drew and thanks for your time in NE. If athletes are role models they should model them after Drew.

[@Mikey2Gunzz]

So grateful Drew took the time to share all of these amazing stories from his career. He is pure class and like you said a true role model!

[@Swizzle33]

Drew is a class act and all around awesome person. I love the stories he shares, great job Gunzz. Bledsoe truly was the birth of what the Patriots became. ❤

[@shawngreene1225]

I can't lie when Drew was being asked questions about him being benched and not being able to have a chance to fight for his job put a smile on my face. To me it seemed like that lit a fire in him and we was ready prove who he is and was.

[@Markell-od2fr]

The greatest human being to ever live he showed a lot of support for Tom after the injury he put team over being toxic

[@Mikey2Gunzz]

Nailed it!

[@danalafreniere1983]

Thank you so much Drew! You will always be number 1 in my book. Of course as NE fans we are grateful for everything Tom Brady has done for the team but Drew set the standard for greatness. If you had not gotten injured there is no doubt in my mind you would have also won multiple championships!!!

[@Mikey2Gunzz]

Could not agree more with Dana. Well said!

[@deerski4426]

Very cool interview. Drew has an amazing story. Being the guy replaced by arguably the best QB ever who ends up being a starter for the next 20 something years and winning 6 Superbowls with the Pats is quite a story to be able to tell. Glad Drew didn't let his misfortune in New England drag him down. Great Interview Mikey. Keep it up ! 👍

[@Mikey2Gunzz]

Thank you so much, really appreciate the kind words!

I went to a training camp practice in R.I. In 1993. It was a little bit of a rainy day. I was sitting on the grass right next to the field. (Spectators could get close in those days),, I had a hot dog in one hand and a Diet Coke in the other. Bledsoe threw an incomplete pass. I saw it coming my way and I had to decide if I should drop beverages or make an amazing catch. I chose the former and the ball skipped off the wet surface and the ball hit me in the head,,, much to the kids delight near me. 😂😂😂 And yes,, 8th round pick Troy Brown and Bledsoe looked!👍😊 I knew then the Pats turned over a new leaf!🎉🎉 Thanks Drew 👍👍💪

[@Mikey2Gunzz]

Not too many people can say they almost caught a pass from Drew! Pretty awesome!

[@johnsondavis1352]

Thank you for this!

[@Mikey2Gunzz]

Thank you for tuning in!

[@r.williamcomm7693]

Great interview!!!! Fan of Bledsoe since his rookie season. There were games where he was just slinging it like 60 times or more per game. I believe that he could’ve led the 2001 Patriots to a victory against the Rams in the Super Bowl. He came into the AFC title game at the Steelers when Brady got hurt & got the win. Also I still remember Bledsoe coming back to the sideline one time & saying to Parcells “should’ve let me throw it coach.” 😂

[@Mikey2Gunzz]

Thank you so much for the kind words! I 100% agree that we beat the Rams with Drew under center as well!

[@JGreen2008]

This is incredible!! Great work! Drew is such a class act!

[@Mikey2Gunzz]

Thank you so much my man!

[@sbond7442]

Great interview. Bledsoe is definitely a class act. 👍👍

[@Mikey2Gunzz]

Appreciate you my brother!

[@damienfallon8980]

As a lifelong Miami Hurricanes and Patriots fan I would have gone insane if Bledsoe went to the Canes. That would have been insane with the talent Miami had back then

[@Mikey2Gunzz]

That team would have been stacked for sure!

[@shawngreene1225]

I guess your podcast is a lot more popular than I thought with my man Drew on here. Great job

Great interview Mikey, personally I appreciate the Brady/Belichick years so much more having gone through the ups and downs of the Bledsoe era. Thanks for the trip down memory lane

How the fuck don’t you have more subs?? I just sent this to ten people. We are about the same age. I was five when Drew was drafted and I still only rock his jerseys going to Gillette. My dad has been a season ticket holder since 73. It’s been the ‘thing’ we’ve done together my whole life no matter what else is going on. Thanks for the video man. Great stuff!

[@Mikey2Gunzz]

Thank you!!! That’s what I’m saying man!! I think it’s partly due to the fact that not a ton of people have heard of me yet so they dont know to look to my page for content. This is where I am relying on awesome viewers like you to spread the word and share the links to my page so as many people as possible can enjoy the content I invest so much time creating. I truly appreciate your feedback and support. It’s what keeps me energized to keep creating more stuff! Cheers!

[@PierreLuit]

Fantastic interview!

[@nmarkert01]

Also, it was the St Louis Stallions. They have two hats at the patriots hall of fame in the decades room. Or did years ago when I was there.

[@Mikey2Gunzz]

No way! What a cool tidbit of info! I’ll have to search for those hats on eBay now lol

Without Bledsoe there is no dynasty, the support he gave Brady was the most unselfish act for any player in nfl history

[@Swizzle33]

💯💯💯💯 hands down

[@Mikey2Gunzz]

The way Bledsoe handled the situation with Brady was pure class and a reflection on the person that he is.

[@RECKENDORF]

Dreewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

[@petercole8798]

Drafting drew hiring parcells . Ended an awful long drought of losses. Ending blackouts. Made us a Better team. ALSO DREW REMEMBER YOU WERE THE RELIVING QB IN THE 2001 AFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME. REMEMBER WHY CANT HE COVER .AKA CHRIS CANTY. WASTED DRAFT PICK. 😅😅.
