I was disappointed in The Film Room. I wanted college football coaches in there breaking it down. Instead I got.....I don’t know what. Other than Booger McFarland texting

Him texting was barely worse than them discussing the snack foods and pizza on the table between them all. And all that was only barely outpaced by Tessitore touting himself early as a “kicking expert”, then seeking to prove it at every turn.

It was cringe worthy. I turned away from it. And I came back for more in the second half. Ugh, my mistake.

I concur. that broadcast was their worst ever without coaches.
I had turned it off in the first five minutes.

I’m glad I’m not alone. I loved it last year and even the two Seni Finals this year. I have no idea why they changed that format

In what way? I wouldn’t think they’d have to pay those coaches that much. It would e a great recruiting tool. Of course those other Yahoos are already under contract so there’s that

The response from the players has been positive. They enjoyed it and said the food was hot. But man, lots of pearl clutching and vapor choking about it.

Same would be if they had a sit down meal with all the pomp and circumstance. But I would wager the vast majority preferred this. I know I would. This is a celebration, and I think most players would prefer the relaxed atmosphere as opposed to having to be all prim and proper. Get a chance to walk around and talk to people in the WH and look around.

The President is to be commended for serving Burger King., in addition to McDonald's and whatever else they had.



I agree with Purple on the above post.

donald trump with arms outstretched showing off the bounty of fast food across the table littered with candelabras and gold flecked china while a portrait of abraham lincoln pondering assumably important matters overhead is the perfect illustration of our time and age.

if i was a 19 yr old kid and walked into that spread i'd be on cloud 9.

Well, if there is one thing Trump knows, it's locker room talk. 8)

By no means conclusive but I spoke with three of my clients who were former athletes at the college level in different sports. Every single one of them thought it was the coolest thing ever. One guy even said he would have paid real money to see the Health an Nutritionists in that room lose their poop. He said it was so regulated what and wen they could eat this had to feel like a jail break. I mean do you think a Nutritionist on staff is going to say “umm Mr President, they aren’t allowed to eat those” ha. The female said her team would have devoured it and possibly had a food fight :D :D

The fact people are getting angry about this is the reason I believe Trump will be reelected.

The media and others can not continue to be critical over everything the man does and then expect to be taken seriously.

The media gift wrapped his initial victory and they are doing it again.

This coming from a guy who isnt exactly Trump's biggest fan.

I would say the fact that people are trying so hard to either justify Trump or demonize him instead of just laugh at the absurdity of the whole thing shows our society takes politics way too seriously.

The players enjoyed themselves and had a good time It was certainly unconventional but the only absurdity I see are those trying to make it out as an embarrassment for the United States and Clemson

If you can’t see the absurdity (the quality or state of being ridiculous) in serving Big Macs on the same dinner plates as we serve to world leaders then I don’t know what to say. That visual is hilarious. It’s not embarrassing or degrading. It’s also not endearing or charming. It’s just funny.
