Tony Gonzalez Explains Why it's Silly for Patriots Players to Skip White House Trip

President Trump should invite some wounded veterans to come meet the Patriots and take the place of the immature buttthurt jerks

LeGarrette Blount?

Oh, the tough, strong, cowardly black who likes to sucker-punch defenseless, white men?

That LeGarrette Blount? My guess is that he is afraid of the President! LOL

[bamabound]

One of my favorites, along with Johnny Callison who had a homer in an All-Star game to win it, iirc

Listened to it while sipping Ballentine

It’s neat having the boxscores available at baseball-reference.com.

In 1964 Gene Mauch usually batted Richie Allen and Johnny Callison second and third in the line-up, the order depending on whether a rightie or leftie were pitching. E.g., if a rightie’s pitching, bat Callison (a leftie) third, Allen (a rightie) second.

So Mauch was ahead of his time in regularly batting one of his best homerun hitters second.

[MUDDOG]

He’s one of my favorites too.

You mean, Real Hero vs Fake “hero”?

[Enterprise]

To me, the football players are champions of their particular sport. I don’t deride them for their choice of profession nor do I envy them for their spectacular salaries. But in reality, the military people are genuine heroes.

[Alas Babylon!]

How was Brady an idiot?

He didn’t want to go because Obama was president then. I wouldn’t want to see Obama either.

[Milton Miteybad]

If you're like me and scoring at home, here is the current list of players who won't be attending the White House ceremony: Devin McCourty, Martellus Bennett, Chris Long, Dont'a Hightower, LeGarrette Blount and Alan Branch.

Any rocket scientists in that group? No?

Any brain surgeons? None of them, either?

Have we even got a petrophysicist or an actuary in that bunch? No?

Big freekin' deal, then. Let the losers stay home.

Bing on a championship team doesn’t mean you are a champ!

[SaveFerris]

[I wouldn’t want to see Obama either.]

Right there with ya brother.

[LittleBillyInfidel]

Fine by me that they don’t go; I hope they don’t. A few decades from now, when their glory days are over, and they’ve likely been long forgotten, they’ll be sitting in their rocking chairs, wishing they had the memory to bore their grandkids with.

Or wounded warriors from Walter Reed.

[NormsRevenge]

some name for that team, huh? Patriots? HAAA!!!!

Someone should sue them for that one. Make it the FauXPatriots. Their egos are as inflated as or deflated as Brady’s ‘balls.

[Maverick68]

Brady and Belichik are going, that is all that matters.
