It would be funny to recreate the story below. Can't find any handshake pics of Fairley and Obama, but maybe the one below would work.
WASHINGTON, DC - May 8, 2011: It was smiles all around for the Auburn football team during a meeting today with President Obama in the White House. But things appeared to change abruptly for Detroit Lions and former Auburn DL Nick Fairley soon after leaving the reception.
Team mates were seen pulling on Fairley's shoulders and jacket sleeves to get him on the team bus, as Fairley appeared demonstrably upset, swinging his arms in an apparent attempt to break their grasp and loudly cursing as he exited the grounds. Auburn officials have denied that any incident occurred, and specifically denied that Fairley had to be ushered away by fellow players. The Secret Service commented that, "at no time was the President's safety in any question. The situation was well in hand."
However, sources close to the team, speaking on the condition of anonymity, have indicated that the problem arose when Fairley took his turn to shake the President's hand as the team exited the White House. Sources say that Fairley stared at Mr. Obama in shocked silence during the handshake, and then moments later flew into a rage to the point of being restrained by team mates.
According to sources, Fairley's anger erupted when he realized that this was the first time in his sports career than anyone in a suit had shaken his hand WITHOUT slipping him several hundred dollars of cash.
Fairley's agent declined to comment on this report. Repeated calls to the Auburn Sports Information Office seeking comment on this report were not returned. Auburn Head Coach Emeritus, Pay Dye did comment to the report, stating, "Keep it down home, Cuz!".
