WATCH: Biden Claims Roger Staubach Prevented Him from Going to Navy, But Dates Don’t Add Up
Breitbart ^ | 5/28/22 | DYLAN GWINN

Roger Staubach probably never realized how he altered history by going to the Naval Academy and blocking the otherwise promising collegiate football career of a young Joe Biden.

Though, he probably never realized it because Biden just told the world about it on Saturday, and there are some very obvious flaws in the story.

During a commencement address at the U.S. Naval Academy on Friday, Biden claimed that he gained acceptance to Annapolis in 1965 but opted not to go there due to the presence of future Super Bowl champion and NFL Hall of Famer Roger Staubach.

An exciting story, to be sure. The only problem with it is there’s no record of Biden declining an offer to play football at Navy. Likewise, there’s no record of him playing varsity football at the school he ultimately did attend, the University of Delaware. Plus, there’s the not-so-small matter of the dates which Biden provided not syncing up at all.

In any event, Biden has a history of telling tall tales to relate to his audience. For example, in April, Biden told a group of truckers that he once drove a tractor-trailer and worked with a dispatcher named “Big Mama.”

Next he’ll claim he’s the one who punched Staubach, and not Clint Longley.

He’s so senile that the lies he concocted over the decades are now his ‘clearest memories”...

Sock Puppet attended a Catholic prep school, where he played baseball & football. At the University of Delaware, he briefly played freshmen football.
.
Biden was a consistently poor student in high school, in college, and at law school. There is no way he received an appointment to the Naval Academy with his bad grades.

I’d like to know what Roger Staubach thinks about this. We’ll never know, Roger is an honorable gentleman.

In those days Biden’s proclivity to plagiarize would have put him before an honor board and ticket to the fleet to fulfil his service obligationn. Just lying about this to the Class of ‘22 is symbolic of the corruption in his personal life and political record.

"Biden is giving the Babylon Bee a run for their money."

See the source image

He cancelled Football, and the Naval Academy when he found out "Big Mama" was dating "Corn Pop"...

This is complete nonsense. I offer the following.

I received an appointment to the Naval Academy in 1965, the year that I graduated from high school. I failed the physical, so attended college on an Army ROTC scholarship, graduating in 1969. My uncle, Navy Captain and graduate of Class of 1937, USNA told me that by declaring me physically unfit one week before I was to report, allowed the Navy to use my appointment for a football prospect (by arrangement with the Congress who controlled the appointments.) That’s the way it works. Joe Biden, a politically connected college graduate, could have easier gotten an appointment if he wanted, but he risked having to go to Vietnam. . Roger Staubach graduated in 1965 and went into the Navy and to Vietnam, zero connection between Staubach and Biden. I have several friends who had already graduated from college when they went to West Point. It worked the same way at Annapolis. I had a friend who went to West Point as a First Lieutenant. He resigned his commission and reported to West Point as a Plebe (Freshman).

Biden is lying and everyone who attended a service academy or went through a commissioning program with one of the services know it.

Of course it is a lie. He’s a democrat/communist.
That’s all he, and they, can do is lie. That’s what are one big lie after another.
