PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Chris Long did not visit the White House after winning the Super Bowl with the Patriots last year and he would do the same exact thing again this year.
The Eagles’ defensive lineman is now playing against the Patriots in Super Bowl LII and joined Barstool Sports’ Pardon My Take on Sunday.
“No, I’m not going to the White House,” Long said. “Are you kidding me?”
Long, 32, signed a two-year deal with the Eagles this offseason, and has been well worth it. In the NFC Title game, Long was a beast and he even retweeted a tweet showing his Pro Football Focus grade of 88.2.

“You know what’s fun about retweeting your stats?” Long told PMT. “Sometimes you gotta do it, so people don’t think you’re washed up. I don’t like retweeting compliments, but I will make an exception if it’s a really good Pro Football Focus grade. So, like I sat there — I was like, ‘Oh God, I’m gonna retweet this because everybody thinks I’m old and washed up…but I’m gonna retweet this [expletive]. And I hit retweet, whatever.”

Long also talked about the work ethic with the Eagles compared to the Pats.
“Honestly, I think the schedule is going to be similar,” Long said of each team’s Super Bowl week schedules. “We work pretty hard here. That’s an underrated thing. Doug is a players coach, but he pushes us. I think we’re going to keep everything the same and we’re just going to get after it.”
Who cares?
No kidding, right.
TRUMP CURSE
It worked on Jay-Z, at the grammys! So I heard.
Whatever.
Ping!
I worked with a large company years ago. The IT/Operations group was a cesspool. We fired them all - outsourced it. In 3 years we rebuilt the function from scratch.
Trump knows business. Gradual change takes too long. I hope he doesn't get sucked into the swamp
Good! No thug trash in the White House.
Let me add with those that I do not believe the White House is for entertainment purposes. It is a branch of government that should be the business for the Citizens of the United States
He just sank any chance of the eagles winning right there.
Howie Long’s son.
Long is the face of white privilege and white guilt.
Oh, how cute! Chris Long thinks the Eagles will beat the Patriots. Bless his heart.
Chris who????
I knew you were a Southerner even before I clicked on your profile.
Who?
I predict lowest TV ratings ever for SB.. even tho Goodell was awarded a new 5 year megamillions contract.. again.
Yeah, okay, whatever since Brady snubbed Trump last year.
He was invited, he snubbed Trump.
