Greetings PatriotNation members in Chicagoland!

I'm writing to toot my own horn a bit. Today is the 10th anniversary
of the launch of my Patriots fan Web site, GoPats.com.

On March 13, 1996, I posted the first article written by Clint Mills,
aptly named "Clint's Corner," on a section of my personal Web site,
newly renamed "Patriots Unofficial." Ten years - and 3 Super Bowl
championships later - GoPats.com has been continuing its mission of
providing a unique fans' perspective on the New England Patriots and
football in general. Who knew we'd still be here a decade later?!

And there's no better time than such an anniversary to introduce a new
element – podcasting. Today is the first episode of the "GoPats.com
Report," our new podcast. For those who don't know what a podcast is,
it's an audio file of information, in this case on the Patriots.
Where the first episode is a look back on the last ten years of
GoPats.com, future episodes will have more news and information, like
you have expected from our articles.

Check out episode #1 at - http://www.gopats.com/report.cfm

Now that I am living a few more miles away from the Boston area, the
site has more meaning for me, and hopefully it has helped keep the
flame burning for our favorite football team here in the Chicagoland area.

GO PATS!
