Wait a minute...

Alex Brown didn’t win a Superbowl!

He sure didn’t. Where’s Scott Fujita and Mike Bell? Oh, that’s right. They’re in training camp with their new teams. WHY DID YOU WAIT UNTIL AUGUST TO PLAN THIS TRIP, MR. BENSON?

No Alex Brown didn’t. And yes it’s a shame people like Bell and Fujita can’t be there. But let’s not hark on people like Alex Brown for getting the opportunity to actual meet the active President of the United States.

I Agree

Brown’s being there doesn’t really bother me. Departed players not having the opportunity to be there outright perturbs me.

Do we know whether it was offered to them, or not?

(I’m just asking, I’m not implying that they were offered.)

Want to go to the Saints vs. Cowboys game? I've got an extra ticket.

They should be “working” anyways and not “visiting” during the season. IMO.

Also, who pays for these event? Is it the taxpayer that foots the bill? If so, I would rather them not visit and save the hard working folks some money.

Surprised

Wow, I didn’t realize Mr. Benson scheduled the President of the United States’ appointments. This Superbowl Champ status must really carry some clout.

I’m not exactly crying for Fujita. He opted to take the cash and leave. Now, his new team won’t give him permission to spend the day with his former team at the White House. Tough S***.
