Q:  When is it okay to snub a dinner invitation from the President of the United States?
A:  When you’re an NFL coach trying to teach Daunte Culpepper your offense.  (Or making sure Culpepper keeps his curfew – take your pick. )
When the White House called with an invitation to dine with President Bush, Dan Marino took it. But the coach of his former team said no.
Miami Dolphins coach Nick Saban said Monday that his obligations at training camp took priority over a chance to meet the president.
“It was really a tough decision,” Saban said. “I feel like my first responsibility is our team. That in no way disrespects the importance of the opportunity I would have loved to have had to spend dinner with the President.”
No worries, Nick.  Man’s gotta have his priorities, y’know.

Yup. Dining with the leader of the Free World, or watching a bunch of grown men running around a pasture playing a little kids’ game, while patting each other on the ass? Tough call.
“Disrespect” is not a verb.
Actually, m’Lady…yes it is. 🙂

David points out:
It is good to see that some people put their responsibilities first.
“Ain’t” is also in that dictionary, Spats, and we know that is bad English.
:p
No it ain’t. 😀
