The Patriots are pure class

[Mr. Scot]

Now this is the kind of organization you want representing the NFL.

Students at Lebanon Middle School in Lebanon, Connecticut, thought they were going to work out with members of the New England Patriots on Tuesday. Instead they got a Patriots intern with an aerobics video.

"I think the hardest thing yesterday was seeing all my kids coming down they had their Sharpies and their footballs and their jerseys and I was like, gosh, what am I gonna do," said physical education and health teacher Alyssa Fabry.

The school participated in the NFL's Play 60 program, which encourages young people to stay active, and they were told they were being rewarded with a visit from the Patriots that would include "celebrity coaches." The school assumed that meant Patriots players and coaches.

But it was just the Patriots intern who attended the event, and a Patriots spokesman told WTNH that "celebrity coaches" actually meant someone like the town's mayor or the school principal would be asked to serve as a coach.

"I don't think I am going to do it again next year," Fabry told the Norwich Bulletin. "They built it up quite a bit and really did not come through."

PFT: Schoolkids disappointed when patriots don't show up

Pure class, eh? :nonod:

(seriously, an intern?)

Florio thinks they'll make it up, somehow. Still, this kind of thing shouldn't happen.

They could've at least sent one of the scrubs they're going to cut at the end of camp.

That's what they get for being Patriots fans.

[Pumpkin King]

What a scam.

Do you think Belichick had the whole thing video taped?

The school assumed that meant Patriots players and coaches.

Sorry, no fault found. The school should have done its homework on who'd be coming there.

He masturbates to children's sadness and heartache.:yesnod:

Sad but true.

[Mesmer]

He doesn't masturbate to it. He's feeds off their sorrow for sustenance.

That's what they get for being Patriots fans.

[GSO_Pantherz]

How Mike Vrabelish of them!

[Jangler]

Well.....you know what they say...

but in turn .. he shoots a load big enough to put out a fire

[Zod]

PR nightmare. Likely none of the coaching staff or others in the front office even knew about it. Someone will probably lose their job over it, and rightly so.
