BREAKING NEWS: Chiefs, Patriots, Saints and Rams forfeit upcoming championship games.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

The Kansas City Chiefs, New England Patriots, New Orleans Saints and Los Angeles Rams have all jointly agreed to forfeit their upcoming conference championship games this coming weekend. As a result, Super Bowl LIII--which had been scheduled to take place on February 3rd in Atlanta--has been cancelled and for the first time in NFL history, there will be no league champion this year.

As the basis of their decision, the teams cited the possibility that one of the teams would be forced to suffer through the indignity of having to endure a celebration ceremony at the Trump White House.

When asked for comment, White House representatives expressed their disappointment in the teams' decision.

"Whatever team that would have won the Super Bowl is clearly missing out from what would have been quite a festive occasion," said White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders. "The President had already lined up a deal with local supermarkets to provide previously opened Lunchables which had been returned for quality control issues. There's nothing that says congratulations on a well-earned winning season better than that right there."

Trump himself reportedly had been looking forward to toasting the winning team with champagne flutes filled with generic store brand ginger ale, the bottles of which had been stored in a room temperature closet and which have been previously opened in order to eliminate all carbonation.

Details at Eleven.

1. I understood Boones Farm wine was the libation.

And the main course was Campbells bean and bacon soup.

[Canoe52]

7. Do they still make Boones Farm "wine"?

[True Blue American]

10. The question is

Do they still make Mogen David? If not,I really don’t want to go!

Mac Davis.

14. I still have a Mogan david bottle.

Unique

20. "Man, oh Manichewitz, what a wine!"

My Baba would bring it out on holidays. We thot it was ritzy. 🤣

[True Blue American]

23. I knew some one

Would remember. Not a wine drinker but still remember the sweet taste.

[True Blue American]

26. They are Collectors items now?:)

[yellowdogintexas]

35. Collector's Set of Boone's Farm, Annie Green Springs & Ripple in a wooden wine box

appeared on an auction at the first Christmas fundraiser my Sunday School Class held 27 years ago.

It was purchased.

It returned the following year and was purchased again.

This went on for something like 10 years, until one year the "winner" (aka custodian) of the Collector's Set of Not Exactly Wines reported that the bottles were mysteriously "broken" while in his custody. (we think they drank them)

This perennial gag gift was sorely missed for several years. It never brought much $$ but it was the thought that counted and is also indicative of the absolute insanity of the Good Neighbors Adult* Sunday School Class at FUMC Ft Worth TX

We still have that party every Christmas and raise an average of $8,000 every year. Not of course on boxed sets of Really Bad Wine

[sprinkleeninow]

41. Interesting. A shame it couldn't continue.

Our church doesn't frown on wine drinking. Any functions with door prizes always indubitably will include vino. 🍷

22. Ripple? 😆

[True Blue American]

24. No one here into wine tasting?

I do not think it would taste good out of a Pringles can.

[sprinkleeninow]

2. You had me going for 3 paragraphs. K&R

[ExciteBike66]

3. Tom Brady would break his crazy diet just by being in the room with all those hamberders...nt

[Traildogbob]

8. Hamberders?

They cheap ass son of a bitch couldn't pay the extra 3 cents for cheeseberders? Do any of you know how hard it is to get past auto correct to type in hamberders? He purposely had to make that word be accepted in Twitter. And, he paid my ass! What a POS🐘🇷🇺💩💩💩💩💩

[calimary]

40. Welcome to DU, Traildogbob!

Hey, nothing but the best. Or is that "be best"? Rhymes with "detest," though, so that works.

[Traildogbob]

43. ❤️

Thank you calimary. Good intelligent conversation here with Dem peeps. Twitter threw me out for dissin Tomi Lauren for her thanksgiving remarks about refugees. I feel much more comfortable here. If Twitter allows the president (???) to lie none stop and promote treason, but ban an opinion about Tami Lamp Post, glad to be gone from there.

[Fullduplexxx]

4. Oh so this is bullsht ?

[Cheviteau]

5. Not Really Bullshit

Just a little satire. I found it funny and a little amusing.

[BadGimp]

6. Seems Legit...

eom

[niyad]

9. now that would have been interesting.

[Totally Tunsie]

11. Yup...I issued that same warning yesterday!

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=11671931

"The Patriots better take notice (or any of the three "other" NFL playoff teams)...

Turn down that WH invitation after the SuperBowl!

Can you imagine? THIS is what ya' get when tRumpie likes you. I'd hate to see what would be on hand for the NFL!

You've been forewarned."

[demmiblue]

12. K&R

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

13. Haven't certain championship teams already not gone to this White House?

Or at least many of the team members have chosen not to go.

Yes, I know this is parody.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

16. Yeah, last year the Eagles cancelled on him.

So instead he threw a celebration for Eagles "fans" who were actually just White House staffers.

[calimary]

15. This isn't The Onion?

[Tommy_Carcetti]

17. It's the generic store brand version of The Onion. nt

[MLAA]

21. LOL, I was thinking the same thing...

“If you love the Onion, you will love xxxxx at just $5.99. But it sure was funny.

[Dr. Strange]

34. I think it was written by the same guy that wrote that Chuggo biography.

It won the Pulitzer Prize for the Best Biography of a Canadian Rap Artist a few years ago.

[rurallib]

18. Given the circumstances, Trump will declare himself the Super Bowl Champeen

the greatest footballer of all time who took on all the teams single-(small) handed and defeated them mercilessly!

[PatSeg]

25. Oh that was evil!!!

For a split second, I believed it was true. Every day I wake up to news stories that are beyond belief, so little surprises me anymore.

Very funny, thanks for the laugh!

[Sugar Smack]

33. Got me, too.

[bdamomma]

42. got me going there

for a minute.

[Sugar Smack]

32. OH, you have TOTALLY outdone yourself this time!

That was even better than the "House of Carbs" tweet posted earlier.

[Pepsidog]

36. I'm proud to say my Eagles said FU to a White House visit.

[peekaloo]

38. I think you meant Nashville Saints or is it New Orleans Titans

funny as hell!

[Cracklin Charlie]

39. Those kids probably never get to eat that crap.

The nutrition coaches and trainers will have to change the regimen to get them back on track.
