Whether Aaron Hernandez gets to watch his former team in the Super Bowl on Sunday night will depend on his fellow inmates at Nashua Street Jail.

The facility’s policy requires the inmates to vote on which channel the community TV gets turned to, according to WCVB5 in Boston. So the game could be on, but only if the majority wants it. It’s probably fair to assume that the Super Bowl will win the vote, but you never know.
“It is possible that the Super Bowl will be the program chosen by the majority to watch,” a spokesman for the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office said.
Hernandez is being held in the Boston jail while awaiting trial on murder charges.
Ready for your fact of the day? Hernandez is the last New England Patriot to score a touchdown in a Super Bowl. That came on a third-quarter scoring reception to go up 17-9 against the New York Giants in 2012. The Giants would go on to score 12 unanswered points and win, 21-17.
