  • On July 20, 2021, NFL quarterback Tom Brady and his Tampa Bay Buccaneers teammates visited President Joe Biden at the White House to celebrate their Super Bowl victory earlier in the year. The event was memorable for a few reasons. For one, it was the first time Brady visited the White House since 2005 (he didn't attend the ceremonies for his Super Bowl victories during the tenures of former presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump). And two, Brady made a topical joke before presenting Biden with a jersey: I think about forty percent of people still don't think we won ... This is a genuine quote from Brady. Brady spoke for a few minutes before he gifted a Buccaneers jersey to Biden. The seven-time champion spoke about team work and unity and hard work, but he also managed to offer up a few humorous lines. At one point, Brady referenced the number of people who continue to believe the falsehood that Biden did not win the 2020 presidential election, comparing it to the people who are in still in disbelief about the Buccaneers victory. Later, Brady joked about how he was labeled Sleepy Tom after screwing up a play, an apparent reference to the Sleepy Joe nickname that former President Donald Trump bestowed on his political rival. Below is a transcript of Brady's remarks. The relevant passages are in bold: Here's a video of Brady's remarks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IZdQ8S4YPoBrady has won seven Super Bowl rings during his time in the NFL. While he's made a few appearances at the White House, this is his first visit since 2005.
