    Ok, to make a long story short...

    My father has terminal brain cancer and is a HUGE New England Patriots fan. He's from Boston, but has lived here in the midwest for the past 35 years until recently moving back to Cape Cod.

    Anyways, I managed to get tickets to the Monday night game -- Pats vs Vikes @ the metrodome.

    It would absolutely make my Father's day if I could somehow get a picture taken of my wife and I with Tom Brady. But alas, without some sort of hookup, that won't happen.

    Can anyone possibly help me out with this? It would mean a lot. Thanks.

    - tom

    Maybe you could also contact the Vikes directly? Or the Pats...and explain to them your situation about your father. Who knows what might happen right?

    I've thought about that, but don't really know who to call.

    Sweet. That's what I'm talking about. I was looking around on the Patriot's site, and couldn't find any phone numbers, so I just assumed the Vike's would be the same.

    Ouch, sorry to hear about your dad. I would try the contactus thing for the vikes. or else try and call the patriots. even if you dont know a direct number, you could prolly call ticket sales and get re-directed to someone that can help.

    Damn man, sorry to hear about your dad. I don't have any Vikings connections or else I'd be on the phone with them now.

    Tom,

    Sorry to hear about your dad's illness. I can't promise you anything but I'll keep you posted up until tomorrow if I can get anything in the work.

    My wife works for the Dr. who over see's the MN Vikings, Wilds and Wolves sports team. He's not just their personal Dr. but mine as well.

    I've gotten special treatement in the past and access to meet most of the sports figure up close.

    I'll talk to my wife and see if the Doc is in town this week. If he can set you up with the Patriots or not. I'll post by late afternoon tomorrow... I can't promise anything but I'll pass the word to the Dr. I'm printing this thread out and will have my wife give it to him if he's in.

    Vic

    wow. that's really cool of you to do.

    thanks for all of the support. this has been on ongoing battle for nearly the past two years. and the doctors said he initially had 3 months to live, but thank god they were wrong.

    Update:

    Tom, I'm very sorry this didn't happen. Dr. Burns out of the office today and all my wife could do was left a note from this thread in his mail box.
