New England Patriots Player Appearances

Hello PatsFans.com!

Draft Day has come and gone (can you believe we drafted a guy named Chung with our first pick!?!?!) and with Draft Day begins the official onset of Patriots Events!

I spent Draft Day once again with Vince Wilfork and his guests down in Milford, MA at Pinz Entertainment and a great time was had by all!  Vince’s guests this year included Stephen Gostkowski, Pierre Woods, Mike Wright, Jerod Mayo, Vince Redd, Adalius Thomas and Ellis Hobbs - in what would turn out to be his last day as a Patriot!

My personal highlight of the day - watching the Ghost miss one pin at the bowling alley wide right and telling him, “don’t worry, put a couple of goal posts on either side and you’ll nail that every time!”.  Hey, I made Stephen Gostkowski laugh - I’m happy

Adalius was on hand to support his defensive buddy Vince, and speaking of AD, he’s got a couple of events coming up!

This Sunday, May 3rd, AD and his buddy Ty Warren will be competing, along with “special guests”, in the “Grilling with the Pros” event in Boston at Harvard Square’s Mayfair!  If you like the Pats and you like barbecue, this is the event for you!  Enjoy some ribs basted by your favorite stars of the defense!  The details can be found here:

AD will also be hosting his first (of what will hopefully be an annual event) “Humble Pie Ride & Run” Event on June 14th.  Like classic cars, the Pats, and family fun?- Hey this is a great event combining all three and raising money for the Adalius Thomas Foundation at the same time!  Details here:

If you plan on going to either of these awesome events hosted by AD, please drop me a line - I’ll be there!

And talking about great Pats events, Kevin Faulk is once again bringing his teammates to Campanelli Stadium in Brockton, MA for the 3rd annual “Kevin Faulk Celebrity Softball Tournament” to benfit the United Way.  You want to meet Pats players - this is THE event!

I would highly encourage checking this  out.  LOTS of players show for this one. Just to give you guys an idea, last year drew Moss, Cassel, Green, Maroney, Morris, Izzo, Spann, Woods, Jackson, Yates, Alexander, Guiterrez, Warren, S. Thomas, Meriweather, Wilfork, Gaffney, Sanders, Washington, and of course Faulk.  There is a VIP open bar/buffet/meet & greet before the game if you can absorb the $130 ticket hit. Gen admin for the game is only $10.

Oh and did I mention the dance-off between Matt Cassel and Kelley Washington?  You Tube it here:

I expect this year’s event to be no less entertaining! 

Another last-minute tidbit, my friends:  Doug Flutie will be lecturing at Leonard Morse Hospital in Natick, MA on May 2nd from 10 Am untill noon.  This guy is a true humanitarian and stellar individual - stop by if you can!

So that’s the Player Appearanc Blog for the moment, my friends.  I must apologize for not posting as frequently as I would like to - I will improve upon that - I promise!  If anybody plans on going to Adalius or Kevin’s events, please PM me - I’d love to meet you!
