New England Patriots apologize after charging fans for tap water at Gillette Stadium
A New England Patriots spokesperson apologized Monday, a day after the team charged fans at least $4.50 for tap water at Gillette Stadium.
With the temperature hitting an unseasonably high 86 degrees in Foxborough, Massachusetts, the team doubled its inventory of water bottles for Sunday's game, the Boston Globe reported. That was almost four times the inventory for an average game.
The problem was that each concession stand could hold only so many bottles.
When the on-hand supply ran dry, fans started asking for cups of tap water -- and, according to numerous tweets, were charged $4.50 or $5 per soda cup. The tap water was the only option available until more bottles could be brought to individual stands throughout the stadium.

I don't know who is in charge of what over there and I don't really care all that much. If the money already went to non-profits that's great. Apology was appropriate. But that wasn't clear in the article.

Trying to shame people to make yourself feel better or better than someone else.

This week and season has been crazy! Even last week.
Rams beat Cowboys in their own house. Rams also lead division.
Bills beat Falcons in their own house. Bills lead division.
Lions, same
Jags, Eagles, Chiefs lead division as of this writing
The Niners game had mostly FGs, only TD was with 32s left in OT. Aside from the penalties, was actually entertaining.

He's been sitting on his ass for 4 weeks and the Patriots only had a few days off since their last game. I expected him to do well, maybe he's extra motivated after his suspension. He played his best when he had 1 year left on his contract
