Sports Guy Podcast with President Obama

[UConn9604]

Bill Simmons: What’s the most fun sport for the team that came in? Like, what are the funniest group of athletes?
President Obama: Well, you know what’s fun is when the women basketball players come in, because they’re all gorgeous and they’re all 6-foot-5 and wearing high heels. And so they’re walking around through the West Wing and everybody is wondering what the heck is going on. And when Maya Moore and the Connecticut Huskies came, we actually went down to my little basket down here and we played a game of HORSE.
Simmons: You played with them?
Obama: Yes, we played a game of HORSE. Now, Maya is always annoyed that I point out that I beat her. She was wearing high heels and a skirt at the time. [Laughter.] So I’m not sure if that counts.

I think the President should have evened things out by wearing high heels and a skirt too!

I think the President should have evened things out by wearing high heels and a skirt too!

He would have so as to appear to be "leveling the playing field," but before they started the game, someone whispered in President's ear that these UConn players were all Republicans. The hospitality ended right then.

I totally agree with The President - The Wire was a great show and Omar was the best character on that show.
