The New England Patriots are going back to the White House — just two years after their last visit to Washington, DC. And the date has been set.
The Super Bowl-winning team (well, most of them at least) will meet with President Trump on April 19, White House spokesperson Sean Spicer announced on Thursday, according to NFL.com.
This will mark the fifth time that Tom Brady and Bill Belichick's team have made the traditional presidential trip following a championship season, although the famous quarterback missed the last meeting with President Obama in 2015 due to family obligations.
"I'm proud to announce that on April 19, the anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord, the New England Patriots will be visiting the White House to celebrate their latest — and what will be probably be a continuation of many more to come — Super Bowl win," Spicer, who is a native of Rhode Island, said in a press conference.
While he has not openly said he is a New England fan, after the Pats beat the Atlanta Falcons in a Super Bowl overtime shocker on Feb. 5, Spicer proclaimed it was the "Best. Game. Ever."
Best. Game. Ever. Congrats @Patriots #SuperBowl #SuperBowl2017 #SuperBowlLI
