Joe Biden Lied About Playing College Football For Delaware in the 60′s [Update: Sort Of]

All, College Football, Politics, Video Stephen Douglas October 17th. 2012, 10:30am

Fair and balanced. Here at TBL (a Kabletown subsidiary, formerly of Sheinhardt Wig Company) we strive to be fair and balanced if nothing else. Since we posted about Paul Ryan’s exaggerated marathon time, it is fair and balanced of us to share with you the tall tales of one Mr. Joe Biden, the Vice President of the United States of America.

On Saturday, September 8, 2012, Biden claimed that he had been a part of the Delaware football team that went to Ohio and beat the Bobcats. After that game, he wandered into a girls’ dorm room and almost got arrested.Yeah? Well, he didn’t! From Gateway Pundit:

Joe Biden did not play football at the University of Delaware in 1961, 1962, 1963, or 1964, according to past yearbooks. The 1984 University of Delaware yearbook included an interview with Joe Biden. It’s Biden first ever interview were he talks about his “triple major” (later during Biden’s 1988 presidential campaign he admitted he lied and had two majors, not three) and playing “intramural football” (flag football). There is no mention about him playing college football.

So Paul Ryan doesn’t run as fast as he says he did and Joe Biden lied about playing football for some reason. Paul Ryan is 42. Joe Biden is 69. Both these guys grew up in a time when you could lie about stuff and nobody would pull something out of his pocket and immediately discredit you. They should know better by now though. I mean, it’s 2012!

Update: Biden’s office released a statement saying that he had made the team in the spring of his junior year, but never actually played football. He was just telling the story about how he went to cheer for his team.

Not surprised. Joe Biden is pretty much full of shit and has been for years.
Love watching people who just heard of Biden in 2008 drink the Kool Aid of Biden being some old wise man.

Sports gaffes have to be my favorite part of the political process, from John Kerry saying “Lambert Field” during a campaign stop in Wisconsin to John McCain telling two versions of a POW camp story where he changed who his favorite football team was…when pandering to the common man goes wrong

I swear Delaware should just turn itself into a statewide version of Las Vegas, up to and including legalizing prostitution. I would visit far more often.

I think one thing we can all come together on from both the left and right is that John Kerry was one awkward candidate. The video of him windsurfing was nearly his equivalent of Dukakis riding in the M2 Bradley in ’88.

That had less to do with him being out of touch and more with the fact that he had a gallon of whiskey floating around in his system at all times.

Did I miss where he said he played football for the team? This is like saying Spencer plays for the Buckeyes when he says “We beat Penn State.”.

This is very true of Southern Delaware, which you must drive through to get to their shore points.

Except that…he DID play football at Delaware. He was on the freshman team, and his father made him quit because it was affecting his grades. This is a well-documented fact. He didn’t claim to play in the game at Ohio.
