I missed Pearl Harbor I by a few years. Will we see II?wyatt55 said:Cmon Barack. Don't call a guy an afterthought.
Exactly. And for those that felt they were too cool to wear a tie? I'd be surprised to hear that Dr. Charles didn't send out a memo (or maybe he did and a few chose to ignore it)...Corsi said:
You're going to meet the President and that's what you choose to wear?
We've seen that winning tradition carried forth again and again down through the years by some of the greatest heroes in basketball history: Cousey [sic], Sharman, Ramsey, Russell, Sam and Casey [sic] Jones, Heinsohn, Havlicek, Cowens, and White. I may have mispronounced some of those names in there -- I hope not.

Will they replay it?
Reminds me of when a friend was able to get a celebrity invited to a WH dinner and said celeb turned it down. My friend: "Seriously?!?" Celeb: "Well, you know how those WH dinners are..." Friend: "No. I don't know as I've never been invited to one and I never will."The Social Chair said:
I would think it's the latter. I'm looking at the pictures of the Heat and Ravens and they are all wearing suits with ties.
mabrowndog said:By the way, the Nap-POLE-lee gaffe doesn't come close to the worst butchering of athlete names in the history of White House visits by sports teams, whether from Boston or elsewhere. That honor goes to Reagan with the '84 Celtics, and it will never be eclipsed. Seems the video is nowhere to be found, but Bob Lobel must have replayed the clip a hundred times on various Sports Spotlights on WBZ. From the official transcript:
The names in bold were uttered as "HINE-shone, HAZZ-lick, KUV-inns". The Most Powerful Man in the Free World looked and sounded like a sleep-deprived and dyslexic teenager struggling with a Dick & Jane book, laboring over each syllable. It was both cringe-worthy and hilarious.

No, I got there early. I'd been to the two previous ones and never got access inside until this year. They really put on a nice event.
At least Clay ISN'T wearing jeans. Although with the light blue kicking I think he'd look less hipster/DB-ish if he WERE wearing jeans.RSN Diaspora said:

Peavy looks the most like Secret Service.
Way too late, but for the sake of information that nobody really cares about -- West Wing appointments do not intersect in any way with the public entrance and tours, which are in the East Wing. Separate entrance location, separate rules, etc.RSN Diaspora said:
No, it's not. Generally, anything at the White House requires advance invitation where they get your SSN, DOB, address, etc. so they can make sure you don't represent any threat.
This is brilliant. And true.joe dokes said:Which makes sense, because the guy standing in front of him looks like John Malkovich in "Line of Fire".

"Smithers! Who is that man?"
I believe that Mr. Henry had a "schedule conflict" that prevented him from being at the White House last time. And the time before that.
