(via ESPN Apologizes to New England Patriots While Everyone is Asleep – YouTube)
I can’t help but feel like we the fans had something to do with this. It was reported this morning that the Patriots in fact asked ESPN for a retraction and I know a certain Patriots blogger who is followed by the Patriots. Not sure there’s ever been a more galvanized sports team and fan group. Proud to be a part of it.
The bigger problem is this kind of stuff only feeds the trolls who act like the Patriots have cheated over and over again for the past 15 years.
Hey @espn this didn’t happen. Just a little FYI. (h/t @mikewichter) pic.twitter.com/NcGAb9FJvw
