Pats Preview: Week 13Posted by John Gonzalez on 11/30/2007 at 11:21AM | No Comments
Thanksgiving mercifully saved me from having to breakdown last week’s Pats-Eagles game. Between us, I just didn’t have it in me to write a preview about New England beating the crap out of my hometown Birds. Plus, had I written that, I would have been wrong. In case you missed it, the once invulnerable New England Patriots, the guys everyone figured would throttle each of their opponents on their way to an undefeated season, barely squeaked out a win at home against Philadelphia last Sunday Night. In fact, the Pats were, arguably, one fewer AJ Feeley interception away from losing that game. Suddenly, the Pats don’t look quite as unbeatable as they once did. |

Manso described the charges of racism in the jury room, which has led a judge to call the jury back to find out what really happened. |
