CLAIM: President Joe Biden claimed during a commencement speech at the United States Military Academy West Point that he turned down an offer to play football at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland.
VERDICT: False.
Biden has previously told different versions of this claim to graduates at the U.S. Naval Academy and the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado.
In his claim, Biden says he applied to the Naval Academy in order to play football. He was appointed to the Naval Academy by former Delaware Sen. J. Caleb Boggs (R) in 1965. However, the president graduated from the University of Delaware in 1965, which makes it unlikely he would have applied to attend the Naval Academy then.

So true. Roger Staubach was one of the all time great QBs both at college level and in the pros. He threw the first Hail Mary pass, remember? He is also a genuinely good man. Biden, on the other hand, is beneath pond scum.
Also Neil Armstrong barred Biden from the door of the Luna Lander so Armstrong would be the first man in the moon...
“Tha’s right. They called me ‘Buzz Biden’ cuz my brain was always comin’ up with crazy ideas for landin’ on the moon. ‘You buzzin’ me, man?’ That’s what they’d tell me. My word as a Biden.”
The predecessor to the Hail Mary: The alley-oop is an American football play in which the quarterback throws the ball high into the air, and another player jumps up and catches it. The play was developed in 1957 by San Francisco 49ers players Y. A. Tittle and R. C. Owens. The play was named after V. T. Hamlin’s comic strip character Alley Oop; Owens himself was also known as “Alley Oop”. Biden will now claim that he was known as Alley Oop.
A point very high on my irritation list. Biden lies and lies and lies, and I don't care if he believes it all true or not. What matters is that the DNC Propaganda Machine (the MSM) never challenges him, all the while refusing to interview Trump because, as they claim, you can't believe a word he says.
Worthless SOBs
Only conservative websites point out they’re Lies.
So 90% of the people have no clue
Republicans could’ve pointed out these lies his entire career, but they love them some Joe.
More like Forrest Gump.
Too bad Clint Longley punched Staubach instead of Biden.
Nah, Forrest Gump had talent.
Naval Academy appointee???
Naaahhh, but he mighta made a good SLJO,
Alley Poop is more accurate.
Way to tarnish one of the greatest QB’s ever... The Comeback Kid. Last QB Dallas ever had that kept you glued to the tube. Sure don’t make em like that anymore. FJB.... the only thing he’s good at slinging stinks everything up.
Joe is the all time king of sea stories despite always having been a landlubber. The kinds of tall tales he tells - some are truly unique, including the one where he talks about his dad’s supposed tolerance for public displays of affection by gay men back in the 50s.
There is no group too small for Ol’ Joe to pander to..
He probably believes this happened.
Yep a lie isn’t a lie if you believe it he’s crazy.
Words long ago stopped meaning anything to this dumb, out-of-touch, now-senile hack.
“IN AN HONEST WORLD, HE WOULD BE IN A HEAVILY PADDED ROOM.”
**************
If he was a Republican that’s where he would be.
Even that excuse (Boggs may have nominated Biden for a Naval Academy appointment) fails outright.
If Biden had already graduated from Maryland with a Bachelors degree, he WOULD NOT be considered for any USNA appointment at all since their primary job is to prep and pass through high school grads into a BS and future junior Navy Officer positions as ensigns/2nd Lt.
When Biden tells these half-baked stories, he thinks he’s
being “folksy” ....... just being appealing to the everday folk.
He always forgets he’s not in Delaware any more where the morons suck that stuff up.
