Victory brownies and the definition of fandom and friendship

Our tailgate meal prior to a New England Patriots game has many glorious traditions.

One of these traditions are “victory brownies.” Tony and his wife, Erin, bake brownies for dessert after an enormous meal of meat and meat and meat and potato, but we don’t eat the brownies until the Patriots win.

Yesterday I received a package from Tony. When I opened the box, this is what I found:

Victory brownies. “Victory brownies of all time.”

THIS, my friends, is what friendship and fandom look like.
