NEW YORK - Dallas Cowboys linebacker DeMarcus Ware(notes) has played in dozens of important games and hung out with some of the biggest stars in sports.

Still, he was nervous when he met U.S. President Barack Obama.

"It's something like no other," Ware said Thursday. "Being able to meet the most important guy in the United States, the guy with the most power, it was unbelievable."

Ware and fellow NFL players Drew Brees(notes) and Troy Polamalu(notes) filmed a public service announcement with Obama in October that will air during the league's Thanksgiving games next week.

Hopefully he can do a better job for the NFL than he is doing for America..!
Football and the Olympics are far more important than running the country...

I agree. Lets hope he doesn't spend a third of his term on vacation like Bush did.

It's not for the NFL, it's a public service announcment. As the article states: "The PSA promotes the league's Play 60 campaign, which encourages physical activity to combat childhood obesity, and the president's community service initiative United We Serve."
