Born in St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands, Knape spent his early childhood swimming and diving in the boat yard that his father managed.

The Patriots won for the umpteenth consecutive week on Saturday, equaling the mark set by the 1972 Dolphins. In the past six months, it seems as though everything has been breaking Boston’s way.
