BOSTON (AP) - People aren't quite done piling on New England Patriots receiver Wes Welker for a dropped fourth-quarter pass that helped the New York Giants win the Super Bowl. An online pawnbroker dumped hundreds of Butterfinger candy bars in Boston's Copley Square on Tuesday with a note: ``Thank you Wes Welker.'' The tongue-in-cheek stunt by Pawngo.com drew takers for the candy and a citation from the city for commercial dumping. Pawngo CEO Todd Hills says in a statement to The Boston Globe the Denver- and Chicago-based company ``thought Boston fans might at least get a laugh out of it.'' He says the company respects Welker and the Patriots. Welker led the NFL with 122 receptions but dropped a slightly off-target pass from quarterback Tom Brady with about four minutes left Sunday night. The Giants won 21-17. |
