Chris Long Won’t Visit The White House If Eagles Win Super Bowl

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.”

This type of thing generally foretells defeat if this season is taken as a sample.

Chris just sealed the Eagle’s fate.

Sorry Eagle’s fans.

I’m sure that one of President Trump’s biggest disappointments during his presidency, not meeting Chris Long.

Same here. With all that body ink, he’ll probably die from blood poisoning. Just one more game, Chris, in which us Eagles fans need you to play like a crazed animal. After that, you’re history. Fly Eagles fly.

“”he would do the same exact thing again this year.””

> TRUMP CURSE... Engaged.

> Guess I have to put money on the Pats now. This is just too easy of a win.

Now don’t get cocky. The Eagles *could* still win, if Mr. Long gets injured during an inconsequential play of the game and ends up in the hospital. That way, he would not even have the chance to go to the WH, even if he came to his senses and changed his mind.

“What an airhead and egotist-with that attitude and sense of his own importance I’m pretty sure no one of importance cares what he says or where he goes...”

I never heard of the prick.

It’s kind of hard to hurt marble.

JINX!

It’s like the 2003 American League championship playoff game 7, when the Red Sox lost in late innings thanks to Aaron Boone’s HR. The TV network kept flashing to Fenway where the grounds crew was painting the World Series logo behind home plate. JINX! Go Yankees!

The A move is to tell Eagles management that if they don’t all come, and be respectful, no one is invited. I’d say that would be enough peer group pressure to end anything.

Golly, gee. The world survived last year... it probably will survive this year, too. Bye, Jones.
