Superbowl facilities draw Patriots’ ire

NEW ENGLAND Patriots boss Bill Belichick is fuming about the sub-standard practice facilities his players have been given in the build-up to Sunday’s Superbowl XXXIX against Philadelphia in Jacksonville.

Looking to become the second team to win three Superbowls in a four-year span, the Patriots held a lively two-hour practice on yesterday afternoon at Bartram Trail High School.

“We were kind of out there on an ice rink today,” Belichick said. “It’s slick. We’re not even going full speed and guys are falling all over the place.”
