Joe Theismann: Donald Trump banning Muslims is ‘just like Tom Brady’ winning the Super Bowl

“You know, President Trump is not the first one to put a ban on people coming into this country,” he explained. “It’s started with Charles Arthur back in 1882 when he banned a group of Chinese to come in and it just went on and on… and President Obama actually did in back in 2011.”

“So, what is taking place isn’t necessarily impressive, it’s just that people now have decided that they want to take to the streets to protest what’s going on,” the former quarterback opined. “The president made a promise to the American people. When he became president of the United States, he was going to do certain things. And he has followed through on so many of the things that he has said he wanted to do.”

Theismann encouraged Americans to get behind Trump because “no matter who is in the office, we should respect the president of the office and we should allow them to try and do their job, just like Tom Brady is going to try and do his today.”

1. Forgive me Lord because I was going to mention something about him and Lawrence Taylor.

Theisman is so overrated.

[geek tragedy]

8. Beat me to it. nt

[packman]

11. Oh, snap, you got a leg up on me with that reference

Too many concussions, too long on the field

I lived in the D.C. area during the glory days of the Redskins and even though Joe got us into the playoffs and Superbowl, he was never liked or respected like Bill Kilmer and Sonny Jurgensen .

[DemocratSinceBirth]

12. I forgot. Was it Kilmer or Jurgensen who had the beer belly?

[packman]

14. That's the beauty of it - both of them

They were hell-raisers, dirt-grit, in-your-face quarterbacks who loved the manliness of the sport. Jurgensen was the legend known for his passing arm and understanding of the game. Kilmer was the back-up who the masses loved for his never-say-die attitude and being one of the gang. Both rowdy, both lovable to the fans. Hell, they drank and swore and spit with the best of them - they were true roughnecks.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

17. Reminds me of Art Donovan who was a contemporary of Don Shula.

He was a friend of Donovan but never ran with him because he had to be at Catholic mass every Saturday morning. BTW, Shula is a soft Democrat.

[2naSalit]

38. Concussion addled brain spew.

[rufus dog]

18. How about him changing the pronunciation of his name from

THEEsman to THIGHsman to rhyme with HIGHsman as in Heisman Trophy, which he didn't win.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

20. You're baiting me to write something about how he looked in his brief comeback.

[MrScorpio]

33. I was sitting in a chow hall at Osan AB Korea when I saw that...

I didn't consider that L.T. should have gotten his other leg at the time...

[Laurian]

2. Jeezus, what a stupid analogy.

Not surprised.

[elehhhhna]

40. Both cheated to get where they are and his comment doesn't make any sense

[HopeAgain]

3. Opinions are like assholes...

and this asshole has one.

[Cha]

4. Shut up, you're stupid

[gordianot]

5. How many concussions?

[Trust Buster]

6. This historically concussed ex-quarterback fails to realize that, just because a candidate promises

an action on the campaign trail, it doesn't mean it is Constitutional. He could have run on a pro-slavery platform. Does that mean it is legal concussed Joe ?

[dalton99a]

7. Revisionist RW idiot. It was not "a group of Chinese". It was to ban all Chinese immigration.

[treestar]

29. further more quoting that is kind of racist

in that the country since then realized it was racist and stopped doing it.

[ck4829]

9. That's setting a new bar for low bars for promises

"I will kick out graduate students and bar doctors from coming here."

[still_one]

10. no you dumb shit. The three countries where the deadliest terrorists attacks

against the United States were from were Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt.

Damn that timothy mcveigh from Iran

it is dumb and dumber from these assholes

[JTFrog]

13. Racist asshole says what?! nt

[klook]

15. Charles Arthur??

I'm guessing Joe doesn't do a lot of reading.

A political cartoon from the time:

- Frank Leslie's illustrated newspaper, vol. 54 (1882 April 1), p. 96

[Mr. Ected]

16. Well, then, it's time for NFL MVP Matt Ryan of the Atlanta Falcons to win the Super Bowl

Who needs Tom Brady, anyway?

[roamer65]

19. A useless, washed up, mediocre football QB.

Who cares what he thinks...I certainly do not.

[Drahthaardogs]

21. Hey Joe. Lawrence Taylor says you should shut up!

Or he will consider a do-over.

[milestogo]

22. Yes, both are experts at cheating.

[TrekLuver]

23. Yes ASSHOLE the United States has enjoyed a long rich history of turning away, rounding up or

rejecting immigrants. That foolio Pence up there talking about his Irish ancestors who were REVILED by the "natives"...fucking hypocrites. We'll we've decided that this shameful history ends now and we'll do everything we can to stop it.

[NotThisTime]

24. His stupidity is showing, he should just shut up....

[Kaleva]

25. Nobody in football should be called a genius. A genius is a guy like Norman Einstein.Joe Theisman

[Eyeball_Kid]

28. eh.. I missed something. Who on earth is Norman Einstein? Albert's third cousin?

[packman]

31. LOL - Forgot that

Joe once pestered by the press to explain a play, said he's no Norman Einstein.

[AgadorSparticus]

26. I "love" how right wingers only give 1/2 facts when they try to make a point.

hey joe, should we respect the office of the presidency the same way the right wingers called obama an ape?

Asshats. All of them.

[Eyeball_Kid]

27. Everybody's an expert, eh? Theismann is out of his depth and just made a fool of himself.

He inaccurately characterized Obama's immigration actions right out of the gate, and he descended to "dumb-shit" status from there.

Stick to describing pass and catch patterns, Joe. At least you can then legitimately earn a salary.

BTW, the photo unfairly gives us the impression that Joe is in the early stages of dementia. Looks like he got hit in the head way too often.

[mountain grammy]

30. No fool like an old quarterback fool.

[underpants]

32. Youre a guy that watches the news a lot,

[Paladin]

34. Eat shit and disappear, Theismann. (nt)

[hibbing]

35. Looks like some decent plastic surgery at least n/t

[Kingofalldems]

36. Quote from Joe Theisman after dumping one of his wives:

"God wants Joe Theisman to be happy."

[Turbineguy]

37. Brain damage.

It's what gets republicans elected.

[lame54]

39. Way to steal the thunder on Tom Brady hating day

[JonLP24]

41. Joe Theisman has long been a fool

He ripped Ricky Williams when his own son was busted with drugs.

Please don't blame this on concussions, I have TBI myself, it takes the responsibility away from him because it's not his fault if it's because he has brain damage.

[Blue Owl]

42. Trump would piss on Joe's broken leg

and tell him it's raining!

[Initech]

43. WTF is he smoking?

[Blue Idaho]

44. Expect Theismann's ratings to go the way of Trump's.

Seems to me a majority of Americans no longer support trump, and an even larger majority specifically object to this religious ban. Theismann playing the stooge isn't really going to win him any new fans...

[spanone]

45. wait till he grabs your pussy, joe.
