Sunday night

I needed 4 sleeping pills. They are legal, but I'm lucky I am not still sleeping now.

Not to make light, but...

...someone did mention in one of the other posts that the Pats' O-line looked/played like they were stoned during the game.

I really liked Andrews. He has excelled as a gunner on special teams.

marijuana

I for one don't believe marijuana should should be a criminal offense so this report means nothing to me. Disclaimer: The comments of the posters here do not necessarily reflect the views of The Pats Pulpit, so don't pay attention to what this idiot says.
