Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa appointed to Trump's Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition.

Tagovailoa called his appointment "an honor," although "he is still figuring out exactly what it means."

"Trump also named Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley as a council member, but Barkley has since clarified that he declined the invitation."

"During the news conference in which he announced the council, Trump mispronounced Tagovailoa's last name before calling him a 'great guy' and urging him to stay healthy...The Dolphins quarterback laughed off the mispronunciation when asked about it Wednesday...When asked how his appointment came together, Tagovailoa said he didn't know why he was named."

1. Philadelphia Eagles star Saquon Barkley turned down the "honor." Go Birds!

2. And Tua's had so many concussions he doesn't understand why it's not an "honor."

5. It wasn't that long ago people were on him for golfing with Trump

My guess is this wasn't declined because he's since decided Trump is too toxic to be around. More likely more of a time commitment issue.

3. Careful, Tua... I wouldn't want to be associated with a known pedophile....

4. Just a few weeks before opening of the NFL season.

No real professional, especially Saquon, would entertain any distraction to their training.

6. this one sounds like a natural fit for Favre

7. Bret Favre is radioactive ☢️

He couldn’t get an appointment on a board of retired parking lot attendants.
