WHITE HOUSE!

[pbmax]

Why are the Packers still taking hits for players unable to attend the White House ceremony?

Colledge is now getting a forum to complain, and PFT agrees.

But here is Mickey Loomis, the GM for the Saints confirming that some players will not be able to attend because the Saints voluntarily scheduled the visit in August. Did anyone hear one peep of complaint about the poor former Saints players who missed out?

"We suspect Colledge will get criticized in Green Bay for whining"

Yes. He will. Because he is.

Bishop will always have YOUTUBE...tough luck though, Bishop, but being a "Bishop" ain't ID enough - this I like!

I'm more curious about what the 'norm' is. Have other teams brought players that were moving on? Maybe the lockout screwed with the schedule that much?

I understand there's a limit to how much you include guys, and when you move on. Guys like Colledge are included in all of the stuff that is obviously related to the SB - the infamous photo, the rings and ring ceremony, whatever else went on.

The White House visit is obviously related to the SB, but not so much an official event.

The lockout had a lot to do with it. Most teams visit in early spring before they've had the chance to move on to other teams.

Does anyone know where the list of SB Ring Recipients can be found?
