One of the perks of being the President of the United States is you get to roast famous athletes when they come to the White House to celebrate their championships. 

Barack Obama honored the Patriots at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue on Thursday and didn't pull any punches.

• Tom Brady expected to attend Mayweather-Pacquiao fight

• Dwayne Bowe attended the funeral of an 86-year-old Chiefs fan
