Obama Calls Eagles Owner
President Barack Obama called Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie to commend the Eagles for giving Michael Vick a second chance reports NBC Sports.
Peter King of NBC reported during Football Night in America that President Barack Obama recently called Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie to congratulate the team for giving quarterback Mike Vick a second chance.
President Obama explained that a level playing field rarely exists for prisoners who have completed their sentences. Vick’s success gives all of them hope.
No, he didn’t call to discuss Vick. He called to discuss the Eagles’ use of green energy at the Linc, and the conversation happened to turn to Vick.
OMFG, this story is blowing up. I posted this because, well, we are all Eagles fans (and if you’re not, talk to the hand). Anywho, Twitter is abuzz and pundits and putting their two cents in. Amazing, simply amazing.
Favre gets pass after pass (drug addiction and penis showing) from the media and the public, but kill some dog and shiiiiiiiit, you’re the next Jeffrey Dahmer.
