Fire alarm went off at Patriots’ hotel in the middle of the night

Fire-Alarm

The New England Patriots arrived in Arizona on Monday evening, spoke to the media a few hours later and then headed off to their respective hotel rooms. The players and coaches may not have slept that well, but that has nothing to do with Deflategate.

According to NFL Network’s Jeff Darlington, a fire alarm went off for about 10 minutes at the Patriots hotel early Tuesday morning, beginning at about 1:30 a.m. The hotel referred to the situation as an “anomaly” and said there was no fire or immediate danger in the building.

Coincidence? Possibly. The 12th man getting an early jump on torturing the Pats? We wouldn’t rule it out.

We have heard of college football fans blatantly harassing opposing players at hotels, but these types of stories are more rare at the professional level. While the Patriots may have just gotten unlucky, they’ll undoubtedly be hoping it doesn’t happen again. They have enough distractions to deal with this week.
