Per @Ravens twitter, with a picture of the two of them sitting by a cell phone on speaker, laughing.

Politics aside (he's not my favorite pres), it is nevertheless cool.

Your point? Should he have called the locker room right after the game, interrupting the celebration just to make political hay (a la Reagan)?

They've been celebrating since the game. It was probably the first time they had.

The Miami Heat just visited last week. Probably during training camp when the team will be together again. It's the way they did it in 2001.

To borrow a line from Sgt Shultz of HOgan's Heroes:

I SEE NOTHING, I KNOW NOTHING!!!

Maybe not, but I think it's grandstanding, and the players should be able to celebrate without becoming a political "football".

I specifically mentioned Reagan only because his epic conversation with Pete Rose is what I think of first whenever Presidential phone calls are mentioned. The practice knows no party boundaries.
