Tom Brady to skip White House visit for Super Bowl Champions

[Chewbaccer]

I wouldn't go either. Never have liked Brady, but he just grew on me a little bit.

WASHINGTON -- The New England Patriots were honored by Barack Obama at the White House on Thursday afternoon, with the president calling them "as good an organization as there is in professional sports."

Obama's remarks, which lasted about nine minutes on the South Lawn, included plenty of humor, such as Deflategate jabs. He said that he usually likes to joke at these types of ceremonies but worried that "11 out of 12 might fall flat" with the Patriots.

Rob Gronkowski to keep his shirt on.

"He asked me what would happen if he took it off," Obama relayed. "I said the Secret Service probably wouldn't like it. He said, 'What could they do to me?'"

That drew laughter from the crowd, which included Secretary of State John Kerry, the former Massachusetts senator.

Several Patriots players who have since joined other teams were present, including New York Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis. But defensive tackle Vince Wilfork, who played for the team from 2004-2014 before joining the Houston Texans this year, was among those not spotted.

The Patriots, who weren't joined by quarterback Tom Brady because of a family commitment, visited the Walter Reed Medical Center before the White House ceremony.

At the end of the ceremony, owner Robert Kraft presented Obama a No. 44 Patriots jersey and team helmet signed by every player.

After accepting the gifts, Obama cracked one final joke.

"Coach Belichick has agreed to hold a press conference," he said, "and he's going to go on forever!"

New respect for Brady. Obviously the guy has invested his money into the business market. Sees the socialist administration for what it is, and said…......

I don't have a problem with Obama, after all he put about $100 large in my pocket with a much needed tax loop hole. Also I wouldn't trust Brady with my pocket change. But I wouldn't go either. I try to hang out with a better class of people than politicians and Belichek. Like crack whores and heroin addicts.

 

[Lakers+USC=#1]

Damn, meeting Bush 3 times made him not want to go back.

maybe he got tipped off about Obama's lame joke and told him to fuck off!!

Gary Tanguay calls out Brady for missing the WH 'tour'?

Who the fuck is Gary Tanguay anyway?

 

[NWPATSFAN]

Obviously nothing news worthy going on. Does anyone really care if TB was there or not or what his political offiliation is?
Come on draft or Wells pull your head out of your ass and release the magna carta...

Have football teams always visited the white house? I dunno... I don't want to be a hater, but I feel like since Obama has been in office, the president is always visiting sports teams which makes zero sense to me. Pay for a ticket like any other person and go see them play live or go to a autograph event.

If I was in Brady's shoes I'd skip out as well. F the white house.
