(Pat's Smokeshow Cheerleader Quinn Kingston (above) and the rest of the gang don't want to talk to the Stool)

So earlier this week I get an email out of the blue from Regan Communications asking if the Stool would be willing to interview the Patriot Cheerleaders.  They even offered to let us take some pictures of them.    Naturally I thought this was pretty cool.   Well today I get an email from Regan saying that the Pat’s cheerleaders don’t want to do the interview with us and how I shouldn’t be surprised since we’ve said “less than flattering things about them” in the past.    Fucking Regan Communications! What are they trying to make me look like a fool or something?   Listen,don’t ask me us to do an interview if you can’t make it happen.   I honestly could have cared fucking less either way if it weren’t for the fact I already told Manzo we were doing it.  Now I got to walk into his office and tell him there is no such thing as Santa Claus.  It’s bullshit!   All because Regan Communications doesn’t have their shit together.   And the thing that really gets me mad is the way this chick at the end tried to make it seem like it was our fault.   Like we requested this interview out of the clear blue sky.   Fuck that!   They were looking for publicity for some lame ass vacation they are pumping up with the Pats Cheerleaders to Punta Canta.  So spare me the lecture on how our request was denied because we’ve talked shit in the past.   Obviously you fucked up.   And why would you try to make it seem like it was our fault anyway?  Just say the Pats cheerleaders schedule was too busy with the Superbowl or something.   Don’t try and rub my nose in it because that’s how you end up getting crushed on the blog. You’d think somebody who works in PR would know this shit.    Regardless, great job here by Regan of generating some negative publicity for everybody involved out of nothing.

Hi Dave,

With Patriots fever sweeping Boston, I was hoping you might consider doing a feature on the Patriots cheerleaders in an upcoming issue of Barstool sports. In the midst of getting ready for the Superbowl, they are also picking out swimsuits and preparing for their annual swimsuit calendar shoot in Punta Cana in April. Below are details of the trip.

I would be happy to arrange interviews for you with some of the cheerleaders, as well as a photo opp. Let me know if you are interested.

Thanks,

Kara

Hey Kara,

Thanks for the email. We'd love to do a story on them.   How fast could all this be arranged?   I'm thinking the next issue which is right after the Superbowl would be the best one.    Let me know what is the best way to work it.

Hi Dave,

I can most likely set up a phone interview this week. I’m not sure what you had in mind for photos, but I have some from last year’s trip, or if you would want to shoot your own, I could find out what their schedule is for practices at the stadium over the next week.

Let me know. Thanks

Would it be possible to do a shoot next week for our Cover with the interview?   Of course if they lose we'd probably kill it.    Also do you know which girls for the interview?

From:Kara (Regan Communications)

Dave, let me check their practice schedule. Would you be able to send someone out to the stadium and do it there?

From:Dave Portnoy (Stool)

Yes.    Wednesday would be the best but we can work around their schedule.

From:Kara (Regan Communications)

I’m still waiting to hear, but it looks like a photo shoot next week is not going to be possible. If you can’t do a cover, could you still do an interview with a photo from last year’s trip? Let me know. Thanks

Still interested.  Do you know which cheerleader(s)

Dave,

Kara forwarded me your request since I represent the cheerleaders.  They are not interested in doing an interview or photo shoot with your publication.  I’m sure you’re not surprised, given the less than flattering things you’ve written about them in the past.

From:Dave Portnoy (Stool)

Ok.  Just as an FYI we didn't contact you to do an interview.  You contacted us.    Now you're saying they don't want to do it which if fine.  But I probably would have figured that out before requesting us to do an interview with them in the first place.  Also I'm not quite sure what we've said about them that is that bad.  I mean I really don't care, but you'd think NFL cheerleaders would be accustomed to people commenting on their looks.

PS - We do plan on communicating this with our readers.   

Dave
