Both incidents you cite involve the POTUS being directly involved, on stage, or at least on camera, right at that moment; what’s the owner gonna do: ignore the POTUS? Neither are truly comparable to what Dan Rooney did, on his own, with no big giant head prompting.

Anyway, I’m gonna drop it, because as fun as it was to raise, your implication is that the incident itself still falls squarely withing the pantheon of totally irrelevant trivia, and in that you are certainly correct.

Great game. I thought the Birds were going to hold out but, for whatever reason, they got into something resembling a prevent defense on that last drive and, well, we all know the only thing a prevent defense prevents, is winning.

Obama called the Rooneys and Tomlin to offer congratulations. He is, after all, the Stillers most prominent fan. But we of Stiller Nation are everywhere.
