In a recent episode of the “Pat McAfee Show,” Boston Connor proudly showed off his newest addition to his desk – a signed original Tom Brady Patriots helmet. Yet, the story behind how he acquired it is worth listening to.
During the show Connor explained that the helmet came from an auction at the Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital Gala. Boston Connor, being the die-hard Patriots fan that he is, couldn’t resist throwing his hat into the ring. Quite literally.
He planned on entering the auction thinking there would hardly be anyone who will compete for a Patriots helmet. Pat McAfee further explained, it was a silent auction, meaning one has to sign up and submit the bids via text. So, Connor did just that, pretty confident that he had it in the bag.
But as the clock ticked to the 9:45 pm deadline, a challenger emerged out of nowhere and tried to outbid him. It was a back-and-forth battle, but Boston Connor wasn’t backing down. Little did he know the mystery bidder turning up the heat was none other than Pat McAfee’s wife, Samantha.
In the end, Boston did win the prized helmet, but Sam made sure he had a tough fight for it. McAfee couldn’t help but be proud of his wife’s competitive spirit and later revealed that they even had a video of his wife going head to head with Boston. In the video, Boston appears tense and nervous. Moreover, he is also seen taking off his hat, wiping sweat, and putting it back on.
This shows just how devoted Boston Connor is to Tom Brady and the Patriots. Nonetheless, McAfee’s wife put his loyalty to the test, but Connor came out on top, winning the helmet that now sits proudly on his desk.
