Peter King: Pats China Preseason Game Cancelled [NOT a joke]

[Crowpointer]

What if you already booked a flight ? Who's gonna tell Patjew ?

 

[italia44]

It certainly appears legit. On the other hand, if it is a joke, King picked the wrong story to screw with and will undoubtedly catch heck for it from the league.

Mike Reiss must be reading this board,he has a link to the Peter King story.

 

[shirtsleeve]

Sorry Patjew.

Maybe next time.

It is legit from what I can tell. It is his MMQB collumn which is not read widely before Monday. Monday is not April Fools Day. Besides, look at the time it was posted, 8:01 PM. Why wait until this time of the night to post it if it were a joke?

 

[primetime]

So they subjected me to that whacky halftime show at the Sunday night game against the Broncos for nothing? Damn.

 

[BradfordPatsFan]

what are the odds that the Pats try to wiggle their way out of the 2009 game?

It seems Kraft was the one who really wanted to play (certainly not BB), so I'd say Kraft still would want to go back in 2009.

Exactly Today is. Its not usually posted on Sunday night. I'm suspicious.

It is legit...gone..too many logistics...to get it right...so???? Wht screw it up...and Brady's baby is due AROUND that time so...

Oh no. A rift between BB and Kraft! BB must be out of here by 2009. Call Felger! :bricks:

It has been posted on a Sunday night at least one time before. Though this one has not been well edited, a ton of errors throughout.

It's not a joke - it's on ESPN too:

[richpats]

Did anyone else go to the Broncos game last year and see that terrible half time show that was like celebrating the China Bowl or something? It was bizarre and not in a good way.

Yeah I was there - talk about insult to injury.

Also Espn reports that when asked about the trip,Patriots spokesman,Stacey James reports that a team delegation has twice cancelled a trip to China
for planning.(AP).
Also adding:"Any announcement would be a league announcement"

NFL spokesman,Gregg Aeillo,declined comment.

Looks like they're waiting until Monday for the NFL to announce officially.

Do to overpopulation concerns in China, the communist government felt that unleashing QB Tom Brady on the female population may overburden maternity wards throughout the country.

Re: Peter Kingats China Preseason Game Cancelled

SI has pulled this crap before on April Fools day. You remember Sid Finch years ago?

Excellent refrence. I hadn't thought of that in years. I believe a book was written about him after the fact.

Oh no!!!! I know, it's better for the team... but what a bummer for me. Screw it, I'm going to have to fly back home to get a Pats fix this year. Or do we know if the Pats will be playing on the west coast this year? If so, that would be an easier trip for me.

Damn...
