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.”
Oh who cares?
Lindsay Vaughn said the same thing, and then crashed on her skis, out for the Season. Just like the giants receiver who ripped up his ankle the week after mocking trump.
Chris will probably slip in the shower and break his face the morning of the game.
LOL, He’s a big baby
For every one of these kneelers that refuses to go to the WH, Trump should invite a veteran and their family.
Who?
Honestly, if I’d been an athlete on a championship team when The Obamanation of Desolation was president I’d not have gone to the white house. And, I’d have been vocal about it.
So I guess the saying “turnabout is fair play” comes into play for me.
Patriots by 20.
Whatever.
Silly ignorant white boy.
No chance of that......
I guess he is a NFL player.
Never heard of him in the real world.
Looks like Chris likes to use crayons on his arm.
After slamming his head a thousand times, not a big surprise.
All things being equal, It would be a shame if Gronk put a knee in his face.
I was going to root for the Eagles, because of Carson Wentz, but with this, it will be easier to root for the Patriots to make history instead. Carson isn’t playing, but this dipwad is. Carson can get one next year.
The NFL is a circus where the clowns wear numbers on their shirts.
I hope that all of you will NOT be watching the superbowl this year.
Not to worry Chris. The “great” Nick Foles won’t be good three games in a row in the postseason.
He has qualified himself for The Curse. Bye, bye, Eagles.
Maybe he doesn't, but whoever asked him the question cared enough to ask.
Some stories like this are just somebody responding to a direct question.
Then the media turns it into some big statement.
I’m not a Patriots fan. I’m not watching the Superbowl in any case this year (or probably ever again). Still, I hope the Eagles lose badly, just so this spoiled brat has another reason to cry.
