The year: 2002.
The game: Steelers versus Patriots. AFC Championship Game.
[This creates tensions in the Kerry household, because John Kerry avows himself a Pats fan (Football Fans for Truth has not been able to confirm this) and Teresa Heinz Kerry, a popular Pittsburgh figure because of her work with Heinz Family Foundation, swears that no matter what, "root for the Steelers" (Cite: Boston Herald, 1/23/2002).]
Late second quarter.
Patriots receiver David Patten catches a touchdown pass from then Patriots QB Drew Bledsoe.
The crowd goes wild.
Are the Kerrys sitting in the stands, one glumstruck, one cheering wildly?
No. The Kerrys are in Patriot owner Bob Kraft's box.
John Kerry high-fives Kraft.
Is Teresa Kerry booing the scene, refusing to let her husband enjoy the moment?
No.
Teresa puts her hand out for a celebratory slap with Kraft AFTER the Patriots score on her supposedly beloved Steelers.
But Bob Kraft isn't there. Teresa hops up and down but, to his credit, Kraft ignores her..
Did Kraft not see Teresa's proffered hand? Or is Kraft, a man who knows his priorities, worried about the bad karma of high-fiving the enemy?
We've got the tape.. You make the call.
That should put PA in the Bush column for sure.
Send this to "Football Fans for Truth" they will play it on their website.
Um, it is on football fans for truth.
Busy day for FFFT. Great for the cause.
I suppose John got beaten after the game. (But not in the face.)
Didn't TEH-RAY-ZAH say #$##**#**@##$@@@***XXX@*** those Steelers???
I have my Patriots Versus Steelers Gillette Stadium Opening Day Game Shirt around here somewhere. Now I'll have to wear it ;0)
I'll be at that game . I hope they are NOT. They are both so ugly that the Jumbotron will explode if they get a close up of them together .
