THE FRONT ROW WITH JASON ELLIOTT: May 18, 2014
Coeur d'Alene Press | UPDATED 12 years, 4 months AGO
The Seattle Seahawks will get to do something on Wednesday that so many other teams have done after climbing to the top of their respective sports in recent years.
Visit the White House.
THANKS TO to some exclusive time travel technology special to The Press, we've got a transcript of the visit.
White House press secretary: President Obama, the Seattle Seahawks have arrived for the visit.
President Obama: Who?
Press secretary: The Seahawks, they beat the Denver Broncos 43-8 in the Super Bowl in February.
Obama: Oh right, them. I turned the channel after the halftime show. Did they really finish that game?
Pete Carroll: It's truly an honor to be here.
Obama: It's great to meet you again Pete. What's with that guy with the tape measure?
Carroll: That's Russell Wilson, he's our quarterback and he thinks he can be president someday if he keeps winning championships.
Obama: What about that guy in the hoodie and sunglasses? Is he a bodyguard?
Carroll: No, that's Marshawn Lynch. He's not a people person.
Obama: Is he going to bite me?
Carroll: Of course not. We gave him some Skittles on the bus, so he should be good for the rest of the day.
Obama: Well, let's move this outside to the the lawn for our press conference.
BEFORE THE press conference begins, it is interrupted by another group in the area of some NFL coaches.
Jim Harbaugh: I can't believe Richard Sherman is at the White House right now.
Sherman: C'mon coach. You recruited me to Stanford. Can't you be the least bit excited for me?
Harbaugh: No. I can't stand how you're always running your mouth and dancing with cheerleaders after an interception.
Sherman: I've got 57 million reasons why.
Obama: Guys, knock it off. This is getting ridiculous.
Carroll: No kidding.
Harbaugh: Don't you start with me, Pete.
Carroll: What's your deal, man?
Obama: That's it. Congrats to the Seahawks on a great season.
Carroll: Thank you, we'll see you again next year.
Harbaugh: Don't count on it.
Wilson: Go 'Hawks.
