As sizable number of the New England Patriots expressed reluctance to go to the White House this, a terrible realization has dawned on the Super Bowl winning team.

“Those sneaky Falcons lost deliberately. DAAAMMMMNNN!”

The plan was set in motion when Falcons team owner Arthur Black sent word down to the sidelines during the third quarter regarding the implications of victory.

“Guys – if we win this thing we’ll have to attend that shitshow in DC.”

As the realization sunk in the Falcons realized they would have to pull off the most convincing dive in history.

“Fortunately the Patriots are so arrogant they actually believed they made the comeback from 28-3!”
