Very cool video: Alshon Jeffrey visits school kids who wrote him letter of support after his drop

[Goo Punch 4275]

Stuff like this is everything. This put the biggest smile on my face. The Eagles were never going to win the Super Bowl anyway, so I'm thrilled to see this turn into something so positive for Alshon, a guy who I really like. I mean it's fucking Beatle Mania our there! These kids are going bonkers over meeting him. I doubt that any of these kids will ever forget this day, and I doubt that Alshon Jeffrey will either.

We all should’ve wrote a letter to Nick Rose.

yeah man, those kids are freaking out. grabbing their heads, eyes all bugged out, shrieking like it's MJ or something. i think it's awesome.

I despise the Eagles, but that’s a great story. It had to make him feel at least a little bit better about what happened. I’m at the point in my life where I really hate to see people fail like that. I don’t mind when they get beaten, it’s part of sports. I just hate to see people make huge mistakes like that and then have to deal with the repercussions from idiot fans.

i'd be more excited to meet Alshon than anyone from the beatles.

Goo-d stuff, OP.

I've hated the eagles way before Buddy Ryan. For whatever reason I kinda felt for Jeffrey. When kids are involved in a story like this it always gets to me.

[Huckleberry 32710]

I think we all feel bad for Jeffery because he immediately took responsibility and tried to shoulder the blame for the team's loss. He demonstrated accountability above and beyond what was actually his fault (obviously the rest of the team could have made dozens of different plays that could have tilted such a close game).

Lots of athletes, especially at the wide receiver position that is full of divas, would have avoided the press or given terse one word answers or blamed something or somebody else. He acted like an adult about it and people appreciate that.

~Morgan Freeman Voice~  And on this day, the children hid their batteries, and their foul language.  They were kids again.  ~Morgan Freeman Voice~

 

It is a cool story.

I just spit out my coffee, hilarious!

I thought that as Eagles fans, they would have written the letter to lure him in so they could stone him.

That last video is really cool. 

[Sgt Hulk 13648]

Fuck everything philly. But this shows how much the game goes beyond the field. Those kids loved it and the smiles on everyone’s faces were legit. I can’t even be mad.  Bravo all around.   But still fuck the eagles 

[Pato del Muerto 52365]

I’m a cynical shit, but that’s a lot of eagles jerseys for a random school day, and those kids in the classroom seemed to recognize his face pretty quickly when he walked in the room. 

But, even if the videos were staged the idea is great, and hat tip to alshon for taking the time.

Who knew that Philly fans are nicer than Steeler fans?

If you listen at the beginning of the video, the school admin says that Facetime isn't working.  That would explain all of the Eagles jerseys.

They brainwash the kids early up there.

[SA-KC_Horn 1295]

Ha. Is it me or in that last video some of those kids had no clue who that was until one kid yells out "It's Alshon Jeffery".

I would've been that kid asking, Who the hell is that?

[PW119 167]

He shoulda cold cocked one of those punk kids as revenge for the North Carolina movie theater video.
