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.”
SFW? I’m sure you won’t be missed.
Hey Chris, as they say in Show biz, break a leg.
Exactly.
Die NFL, die.
TRUMP CURSE... Engaged.
Guess I have to put money on the Pats now. This is just too easy of a win.
I have been an Eagle fan for over 60 years. I will not stop because a third string, two bit lineman wants to act like a jackass.
What an interesting coincidence, I won’t be watching Super Bowl.
I believe in the superstition that athletes mouths will write checks their asses can’t cash. Chris Long just confirmed it.
I guess it will be Patriots by at least 17 points.
LOL.
Will not watch, but hope the Yardbirds get their a$$es beat
I’m betting he’e one of the Kneeler D-Bags.
What a plus.
A pimple on the ass of time chooses to remain an insignificant pimple on the ass of time.
bagster is right, nobody gives a F.
He’ll probably blow out his knee or break a leg now after openly dissing Trump. That’s what usually happens to celebrity and some ordinary Trump bashers.
Absolutely correct. Many societal traditions, from the National Press Club dinner, to the Oscars, to the NFL have been corrupted by cultural-marxist politics. Time for all of them to die, or at least, get the US President out of them. Trump can start his own traditions.
Joe Namath's on the phone for you.
Why, exactly, is it news if a mere jock decides not to go where he’d never ever go anyway?
“I have been an Eagle fan for over 60 years”
Sorry about that. Does it feel like wasted time?

Because....Trump....................
