Republican VP candidate Paul Ryan and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice made a surprise stop at the Cleveland Browns headquarters today.
ABC 5 reported:
Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan made a surprise visit to Cleveland Browns headquarters Wednesday afternoon.
The two VIP’s were part of a 10 car motorcade that arrived in Berea shortly before 1 p.m. Rice and Ryan were just down the road at Baldwin Wallace University earlier in the day stumping for Mitt Romney, where Rice told voters the last four years have been tough on working folks.
The two were escorted out onto the Browns practice field along with a 30-40 person press core. Rice, an admitted Browns fan, got to meet her favorite player, Joe Thomas, and address the football team briefly. A warm applause from the players who were gathered around them on one knee.

I suppose tomorrow the Washington Post will have a page 1 about how some ball boy was bitching about Ryan stopping by uninvited.

For those who don’t know Config is a huge football fan. She is considered so knowledgeable that many had advocated to have her to be the new commissioner when that position became available.
Adi commented:
These are great photos but seriously Mr. Ryan, get a better wrist watch. That plastic multifunction (not that I have something against them my Timex and Suunto agree) doesn’t suit a VP.

The big guy in the back right corner looks like he is gonna spit a plug of chewing tabbacy on him.

Did I hear that obama was going to meet up with one of HIS big idols in basketball, Dennis Rodman?
birds of a feather…
Oliver commented:
OT – Rove mentioned today that O’s team has pulled all of their negative ads in swing states. He seemed surprised, but think about it — Obama closed by saying what a nice guy Romney was … guess they finally figured out you can’t say that in the debate, then show ads calling him a murderer etc. Doh

#8 isn’t that Mike Holmgren a coach not some ‘big guy’?
America loves sports and the military I would be throwing footballs, baseballs and shooting M4′s and parading around B-2 bombers until election day with the theme of “Tough America is back baby!”
I think America wants a manly man in charge again.

I’m sure this guy needs killing, but we do not need another public hanging. Even for political reasons.

#11 who gives a rats patoot who he is?
Does he look like he is about to spit on Ryan or not?
Draw your own conclusions.
great unknown commented:
#14. What’s going on with Mike Holmgren is that he is “leaving” at the end of the year: i.e., fired by the new owner. So he’s definitely not a happy camper, and probably not happy with the new owner bringing in his friends to practice.
OTOH, maybe he’s hoping Romney and Ryan win in November, so that the economy improves and he can get a new job…
Steve commented:
I am a Wisconsin fan and Joe Thomas was one of our all-time greats. He’s also a staunch Republican.
Mad Hatter commented:
#15,
Mike Holmgren has as much chance of getting another job in the NFL as Obama has getting another job as a Senator.

Ahhhhh….good old Baldy-Waldy!!!
I graduated from Baldwin-Wallace (along with Jim Tressel) back when it was a college and not university. Seems weird calling it Baldwin-Wallace University.
