Big deal. Happened when Obama was in office too ... and Bush ... just not as publicized and not as many players.

Did the Press tell us how many or who skipped an invitation from Obama? I didn’t think so...

Howie went wrong somewhere.

“I would love to see off-season trades to the Cleveland Browns for each of these ingrates.”

Hey! What did the Browns do to you? Haven't they suffered enough?

I would boycott the NFL, but that crap has never had my attention. Nothing from nothing.

No big deal, Brady declined an invite to the Obama Black House.......

With that being said, I am disappointed in Chris Long's refusal to go.....I always thought his old man Howie was a square deal kind of guy.

Probably none of whom will get playing time for the Patriots next season.

I wonder if there is any rule preventing Trump from having a lunch for the ones who do visit. A lunch including very rare and expensive wines and liquors that those players could tell the others what they missed out on.

Only Hightower is essential and he has only two seasons left in him.
McCourty has been great but he’s slowed. Try to trade him. Long was a fill-in, a dinosaur who had a surprisingly good final season.
Bennett got his spot by attrition. The Patriots need four new tight ends.
Branch got much better this season.
Blount is done. He got hurt six games out and was ineffective in his return. When battering-ram running backs start stutter-stepping before they hit defensive players, they’re done, ala Sam Cunningham and Earl Campbell, and many others.

Not very patriotic of these patriots.

Tom Brady didn't join the team when the Pats visited Obama in 2015.

They have an example to follow: Tom Brady found himself busy the last time the team was invited to the White House after a Super Bowl win.

Thank you for reminding everyone. There are many Freepers who are one step from belonging on DU.
