Patriots Fan Jumps From Overpass
Incident Shocks Onlookers At Gillette Stadium
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- As stunned bystanders watched, a Patriots fan on his way into Gillette Stadium for Sunday's game leapt off an overpass and fell 17 feet onto the pavement below.
"He thought he was going to land in a snow bank," said one witness to the incident.
NewsCenter 5's Todd Kazakiewich reported that the 20-year old man was on a pedestrian walkway heading towards the stores at Patriot Place about 3:15 p.m.
"All of a sudden he jumped. He was screaming on the way down, then he was silent," said another witness.
The man bounced off the pavement below.
"He was unconscious and unresponsive," said Scott Rogers of Foxborough Fire and Rescue.
A medical helicopter landed on the Patriots' practice field and flew the man to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. Officials there said he was in serious condition.
Police are investigating whether alchohol was involved.
"He definitely had something to drink. I think he had a great deal to drink," said a man who witnessed the incident.
That is one of the greatest lines ever in a news article. ROFLMAO
Sounds like your friend might have had some bets on the game. Maybe he lost a nice wad of cash.
Son, fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life.
Just sayin’.
An old buddy of mine started crying after the Steelers lost a late season game. Then he went outside and punched his truck.
Turned out the game cost him a grand in gambling losses, plus whatever he spent to fix the truck.
Wow! I guess you showed him who the adult is...
Randy Bradley is his favorite Revolution striker. If it had been a fussboll match between Team Francais and Algerie, Kerry may dashed himself on the rocks when Algerie scored the winning goal in “time added on”.
"Oddly, I myself didn't feel the slightest disturbance in The Force whatsoever."
pssstttt..... try using the spell check function and that funny little key called SHIFT
I haven't bet on a sports event since I was a teenager. Takes the fun out of watching a good game when you have money on the line. Not to mention that it is foolish to bet on the unpredictability of sporting events.
Oh. And dibs on his playoff tickets.
And they talk about us!
4 in 6, back to back twice (never to be equaled no matter what the cheatriots try)

No cheating.

Blue Collar Comedy gets an entire show with this. Now they can pick on the Yankees fer a change.
Well I guess they have to try real hard and it just comes natural for us. :)
Cause we know how to have fun.
Hope you have a Merry Christmas!
Now that one is quite appropriate for us!
