Excuses....It is pretty clear that the Patriots are so self absorbed that they can not take a couple hours (that they committed to) to honor the troops coming back.

If anything the Patriots should be asking the Soldiers autographs.

This is the Patriots true colors....

Most of the players aren't even here moron, probably why there was a problem. They do a ton for the soldiers--check Larry Izzo out sometime and educate yourself.

Regardless - its not that they had anything to do. They made a committment and stood them up.

You say the players weren't there. So you are saying the players don't live were they work. I find that interesting. But then again, I probably would get out of there as much as possible also.

Obviously they never intended to send the 53 man roster. I find it hard to believe they couldn't find a few guys to drop by to say hello. Maybe it was an honest mix up; however, it doesn't sound like doing something for the troops was high on the priority list.

For those visitors who failed reading comprehension in high school...

National Guard Public Affairs Officer Major Lisa Ahaesy attributed the mishap to a scheduling conflict and said the Patriots were not to blame. She said she notified the media on Friday that the Patriots would not be present, but didn’t tell the soldiers because the Guard still planned to honor them.

“The communication wasn’t done,” James said yesterday. “The Patriots never even knew that their presence was requested.”


So the players are at fault for not being somewhere that they never knew about. Hysterical.

Visitors are unaware that players like TE Ben Watson went to visit the troops in freakin' Iraq in the off season.
