In 2015, quarterback Tom Brady skipped the White House visit with former President Barack Obama. Brady said he had a family commitment and the decision was not political.

He's the greatest of all time. Calling him a cheater is silly

No reason to cheat like they have in the past.

He is also a cheater.

Those two thoughts aren't mutually exclusive.

....

Brady has 5. Hard to argue a player with 4 rings is greater than one with 5.

Can't be that great if you lose....

is more important than keeping a perfect record. Hell, losing more in the SB means you were more successful than a team which never made it. It's more impressive to lose the SB than miss the playoffs or get bounced in the divisional game.

He's played better since the officials have been ensuring that the balls are properly inflated every game.

So, the whining by jealous children isn't something I worry about.

He's still an idiot politically.

... Brady was cheating Brady would not have played worse.

Cheaters don't deserve the benefit of the doubt

It's a joke here in the northeast - talk radio has a field day - they never let Brady off easy, but laughing at bitter tears of those whose team/quarterback sucks in comparison is a never-ending source of delicious pride.

I am not seeing it anywhere else.

The bloom is coming off the rose. Afraid it would hurt his endorsement deals?

Thanks.

Shit that doesn't matter.

He is the greatest of all time and the whiners everywhere won't admit that he did better after they properly inflated the balls.

He's still an idiot politically, however, it'll take more than this for me to respect him as a person.

Would either try to grab Giselle by the p***y or try to deport her and he found both of these two scenarios unacceptable 😀

It is all about image and Brady not showing up does not look good for Trumps image so...

Trump is unpopular. Brady doesn't want to risk his personal brand marketing to take a hit by appearing with Trump.

TAKE ACTION RIGHT AWAY, PEOPLE! THIS IS IMPORTANT!

I will just leave it to your fertile imagine to divine how I would respond if I thought you were.

Your daily efforts have made it a lush place indeed.

behind the scenes and away from the cameras...

He's just postponing his WH visit until later.

Although I am pretty sure he didn't decide that on his own. He's not the brightest bulb. See Exhibit A:

I'd love to see a player attend and wear a "release your taxes" shirt. Or maybe when Trump goes to shake their hand, the player declines. Would the team starting an impeachment chant be too much to ask?

Thanks, DSB

with the topic : "Why I'm Not Going To The White House". The MSNBC reporter said Bennett will conduct the chat during the WH ceremonies.

all!

but I am seriously wondering and asking if this could have anything to do w/ Hernandez' suicide? Was he close to Hernandez? Could he actually be in mourning? Could he just want to avoid any questions?

Just curious, although I won't lose any sleep if no one knows.

The guys who don't attend should get another ring for this!

members who actually attended today's ceremony. Trump listed the exploits of eight or nine players. No mention whatsoever of the Super Bowl's premier player, Tom Brady.

Patriot owner then showers praise on Trump.

records, including the greatest superbowl comeback ever!!! (best second half of football I've ever seen btw) And he's still going strong!!!

BooHoo, brady deflated his balls, boohoo...... cry away losers

Roger That!!
