The 2008 Super Bowl Champion New York Giants football team visited the White House and met with President Bush on Wednesday. The Giants defeated the New England Patriots in a historic and thrilling football game this past February. Bush made comments while the team president, coaches, general manager, and players all gave the president an honorary jersey and took photos with him.

President Bush, former Texas Governor and Dallas Cowboys fan, joked about his team getting beat by the Giants and he believed in the Jessica Simpson curse. This of course had to do with the notion that pop star Jessica Simpson was a distraction to her boyfriend Dallas Cowboys Quarterback Tony Romo. Bush saying, “I’m a good spirit, we’re going to send Jessica Simpson to the Democratic National Convention”.

President Bush also said he stayed up to watch the entire football game and praised the team for their resilience and stated that it turned out to be one of the great legendary football games in our nation’s history. He also praised the team and the organization for their volunteer work off the field as well.

The team, before visiting the White House, visited some wounded troops at Walter Reed Medical Center. An experience that apparently moved some players more than visiting the White House and meeting the Commander-in-chief. That’s great though, and although I personally prefer the other football team from New York (GO JETS!!!), I think visiting wounded service members is truly noble of them. Now that’s Giant.
