Steelers Heading To The White House

Three years ago, linebacker Joey Porter made a stir in advance of the Steelers’ visit to the White House after winning Super Bowl XL. Porter promised to enter the team’s audience with George W. Bush displaying a “swagger.” “I have something to tell him, too,” Porter said at the time. “I don’t like the way things are running right now. I feel like he has to give me some of my money back, so I got something to tell Bush.” Porter thereafter backed off, presumably after realizing that a certain governmental agency consisting of dudes who wear sunglasses and earpieces but who aren’t trying to look cool and listen to music, respectively, might not take kindly to such intentions. So, although Porter was on his best behavior, he opted to wear his own sunglasses of his own to the White House. Indoors. This year, there’s a different President. And Porter plays for a different team. So the team’s upcoming return trip to the White House won’t be nearly as interesting. Unfortunately.
