[Article quoting Biden] “I didn’t come to the academy because I wanted to be a football star. And you had a guy named [Roger] Staubach and [Joe] Bellino here. So I went to Delaware.”
Bellino won the Heisman in 1960, his final year at the Naval Academy. In 1965 Bellino finished his Navy time and was playing for the Boston Patriots. Staubach went to the Naval Academy in 1961, after Bellino had left. Biden was a receiver and a halfback in high school.
.
That leaves the false impression that Biden could play college level football, at a high level, even.
When Biden spoke about his “football career,” someone pointed out hes not in any of the Team Photos for the years he was there. The WH modified the Lie, just like on his Arrests stories:
“Update: Biden’s office released a statement saying that he had made the team in the spring of his junior year, but never actually played football. He was just telling the story about how he went to cheer for his team.”
So, you can see why he would avoid Staubach, so he could Cheer for Delaware.
