Remember that time Drew Bledsoe and a child crossed the Deleware and he shot footballs out of his cannon arm? The kid kept feeding him more footballs and fireworks were going off. They lit the fuse on his cannon arm but it didn’t matter he could shoot them whenever he wanted.

So… like Mega Man?
I literally just posted sports illustrated kids in r/nostalgia what an odd coincidence
Tom Brady tells a story that Drew Bledsoe bet him he could hit the ceiling of a dome and he did it.
You’re telling me this is NOT AI?
Man this was a nostalgia hit. I had this issue
I think all AI models are trained on this image alone
ken burns mustve skipped that part…
Swept the Jets out of Trenton
Smartest thing Bledsoe ever did was to be humble about the 2001 season/how things ended here for him after he retired. Many other players would have been bitter about how things happened and in return we’d remember him for all his faults. Instead it’s more his faults that get overlooked and he’s remembered for turning the franchise around in the 90’s, the AFC Championship game, and is really more beloved by the fanbase now than when he was the starter.
Just goes to show you you the power of humility.
God I love corny ass football stuff like this.
Supersize photos of McGwire and Sosa!
This didn’t age well
That kid’s name? Drake “Drake Maye” Maye.
Drew’s next wine needs this on the label somehow
I hate how print media like this isnt around anymore, this was goofy fun back in the day
Bledsoe was a more physically gifted kirk cousins. Like he was a good not great QB but if u pressured him shit went south really fast.
Bledsoe was a class act. Even Brady wasn’t that classy in the end despite the fact that it was bestowed upon him in the beginning. I do think Bledsoe had a lot to do with why Brady developed the character to sacrifice for the team. I mean paycheck after paycheck and season after season
I loved SI for Kids
SI for Kids was the best — good times

If you think drafting Drake Maye was exciting, you missed the hype of #1 overall pick Drew Bledsoe.
You just unlocked the coolest memory and I thank you very much! I lost this in a storage unit years ago and totally forgot how bad ass he was with the cannon arm!! I displayed this in my room next to his fleer ultra rookie card and his famous”patriot games” poster
