Pats Pulpit
Hey friends!
Change is inevitable in pro football. Change also is inevitable in pro football coverage.
Two weeks ago, we announced that a new look would be coming to these parts of the world wide web soon. Well, soon is now: welcome the new and improved Pats Pulpit.
Take a look around, make yourselves familiar. You can leave the shoes on if you like, or grab some coffee or tea.
