Tom Brady misses White House trip

By , Reporter
New England Patriots star Tom Brady misses the chance to make a fourth trip to the White House as a Super Bowl champion.

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady didn't attend the trip to the White House with the rest of his teammates on Thursday.

The signal-caller had a "family commitment" and was unable to make it, according to a team spokesman, while former defensive tackle Vince Wilfork was not in attendance either.

Had the 37-year-old made the trip, it would have been his fourth visit to the White House alongside long-time coach Bill Belichick.

However, he missed the opportunity to visit as a Super Bowl champion under Barack Obama's administration, with the president unable to turn down the chance to joke about 'Deflategate' as he congratulated the team on their success last season.
