Not really what I want to see as the loss still stings, but online pawn shop Pawngo dropped off 900 pounds of Butterfingers in Copley Square mocking Wes Welker for dropping that key pass. Hope the city of Boston fines them for littering.
And I still think Welker makes that catch 9 out of 10 times. Please re-up with the Patriots.
