The Fix: Obama zings Patriots and Belichick on DeflateGate

The Patriots were at the White House on Thursday afternoon celebrating their Super Bowl win, and President Obama welcomed them with an unfriendly reminder of the controversy that marred their win.

I usually tell a bunch of jokes at these events, but with the Patriots in town, I was worried that 11 out of 12 of them would fall flat.  (Laughter.)  All right, all right, all right.  That whole story got blown a little out of proportion.  (Laughter.)  All right.  Where were we?  Right, right, right.  Here’s what makes the Patriots, the Patriots.  Even in the midst of huge distraction during the biggest media circus of the sports year, they stayed focused.  As Coach Belichick would say, it was simply “on to Seattle.”

Zing.
