It seems true, and if it is, I'm happy. The preseason is long enough with out an extra game and a trip halfway around the world.

It isn't a joke, either.

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.

Funny, I noticed the infamous 3effen (aka bob4sports) predicted this this AM over on Indy Star based on something he was hearing from his sources. Said it was a logistical nightmare and would have to be postponed until after the 2008 Olympics.

So I wonder now do we still go to Seattle at all for a pre season game???

 

[Kevin The Pat]

Oh my God what will I watch now at 3 a.m. August 8th

sweet This team didnt really need to travel around the world before the season. the offseason keeps geting better.

I bet the pro shop has some trouble selling all the china bowl gear.

According to Peter King,The Seattle Exhibition game may be cancelled also.Too much travel for the Patriots.

What will Glenn Ordway do now, he was pimping a travel excursion to this game big time... he won't be going for free now, this cancellation is a good thing for the Pats, BB does not like change.

EXCELLENT! More time to prepare :]

I thought it was a joke with a bogus link, but I guess it is true unless Peter King is pulling a fast one.

I'm glad to see the game going away. We have a legitimate shot at the Super Bowl and the preseason schedule could really derail us at the begging of the season.

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

I thought it was a joke with a bogus link, but I guess it is true unless Peter King is pulling a fast one. But if it was announced last week, why didn't the local guys pick it up? Wasn't Mike Reiss at the owners' meetings?

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.
