Whoa, Steph, why’s the team suck? They’re just visiting the White House like most sports champs do. Did they suck when they went when Bush was in office?

OK if I owned a sports team and someone of Rush’s stature was a fan I’d welcome them with open arms to the practices etc. Newt Gingrich is the biggest Packer fan out there and I don’t think the board would even contemplate keeping him away from Green Bay. How friggen ridiculous. And of course Rush won’t say a word being a man of class and coolness. Rooney you suck and your team sucks. Hows that. Weenie joiner.

Loved how the media portrayed Rooney as some hero for supporting Obama – he was Republican after all. But for years Rush Limbaugh has been all but banned from the team’s facilities, though he’s probably their most famous fan alive. I had a famous local athlete claim he switched parties the last election in the name of Obama, then got upset when I told him I knew he was making local calls for John Kerry in 2004. They hate it when you ask questions like that.

Harrison’s reasoning is stupid, but hopefully this leaves a nice black eye for Obama and Rooney. Rooney shouldn’t politicize his sports team.

Why on earth did Rooney thank President Obama upon being presented with the Vince Lombardi trophy?

-The president called in a pivotal play a la Richard Nixon.

-Two days previously, the president issued an Executive Order requiring that he be thanked first at all award ceremonies, public or private.

-It was an easy mistake to make: Rooney actually meant to thank not President Obama, but God. (The other One from whom all good things come). He regrets the error.
