How are they taking it in Foxboro, Rhode Island?

But uhm, both the stadium and all the the Star’s newspaper offices are in Missouri.

I mean, we know that the Pats aren’t in Foxboro, MA anymore. Sure the difference is irrelevant unless you happen to live in South MA, or say we got confused and said Gillette Stadium was located in Provincetown, MA instead of Norfolk, MA, we can’t imagine that would upset anyone?

LOL

So so so so stupid! I meant the Kansas City Star! My heading, which I will change right now, was going to be “View from the Kansas City Star” since all of the articles were generated from that newspaper. I did that one late last night and finished up this morning without reviewing. Thanks for the poke.

Keep the faith!
