Patriots pay a visit

It was an evening the players of Leominster Pop Warner won't soon forget.

After all, how often do the New England Patriots show up at your practice?

But that's exactly what happened Thursday night as Patriot long snapper Lonie Paxton, center Dan Koppen and tackle Wesley Britt rolled in in Paxton's big black pickup.

When asked how important it was for kids to hear a message like the one they conveyed, Paxton simply stated, "It's the only message."

Junior Mites coach Marvin Dockery said it was positive to have someone famous to come in and reinforce the message they try to deliver.

"I think it's important because we preach that everyday," Dockery said. "For them to hear it from someone that's doing it for a living, it kind of validates what we're doing and we're teaching."

What was the message? Mr. Box O'Rocks, (Kerryman?).

Was it something like this?

Don't know it. Just thought that flash animation was funny.

I hate to admit it, but I'm not a huge fan of long snappers, so I don't know the various sites.

Sigh, dissing the snapper, kids these days. There was a young lady last year who visited briefly and showed us her Lonnie Paxton site, I've forgotten the url, but it might pop up on google if anyone is interested. I'll have to use a different browser to check out the flash item your talking about.
