Patriots punter apologizes for Christmas blunder

New England players spent their day off by spreading a little holiday cheer, getting wrapped up with their teammates as a part of an annual tradition with the Kraft Foundation. Julian Edelman said that the worst part of being wrapped with Tom Brady is the quarterback's odor.
Zoltan Mesko said how he loved this tradition, but then told a lie so egregious that it may not be forgiven.


He claims that Santa Claus isn't real. Where does a man come up with such a terrible lie? At least this lapse in truth won't go unpunished. Shutdown Corner had an exclusive interview with Kris Kringle on the subject.
"It's disappointing," Santa said. "I've been working around the clock to ensure a nice Christmas for children around the world, and then this guy can't even believe in me. Obviously, there's no room for him on the nice list."


Don't drink too much at the office party.


Get the wife at least one present that sparkles.


And whatever you do, don't ever tell the truth about Santa Claus around a little kid.


As the video below shows, New England Patriots punter Zoltan Mesko seriously violated that last rule last night, on live television no less.


Maybe that kind of humor is permitted in Mesko's homeland of Romania, but not here, right?


Accordingly, he has since issued an apology on Twitter where, he assures everyone, that Santa Claus is as real as it gets.
