All-night effort: Printing Pats' T-shirts in Pawtucket

Like a lot of New Englanders, Jessica Bahl followed yesterday's Patriots' game closely. She's a fan, but wasn't straight this morning when it came to her feelings about the team's win.

"I'm not the person to ask," she said laughing over the industrial noise that bled in through the phone.

"I'm exhausted."

Exhausted because as soon as the clock ran down in Foxboro, she got to work in Pawtucket

Bahl is the general manager of Mirror Image, Inc., a screenprinting company that prints Patriots' T-shirts for the area.

She's exhausted, to be sure, "but we get pumped with adrenaline," she said.

Being fans helped the three-dozen employees make it through the night and finish up the "thousands and thousands" of AFC Championship T-shirts by about 8 a.m. today.

(Bahl said she's not allowed to say exactly how many T-shirts they print).

It's not over for the Patriots, and it's not over for Mirror Image. The Patriots are going to the Super Bowl and Bahl and company will be glued to their radios.

And if things go well, there won't be a party, Bahl said.

"We won't have time for that."
