POTUS? Not us. Manningham, Jacobs skip White House visit

If there was any question about their commitment to their new team or any concern about them enjoying the afterglow of their Super Bowl victory, Mario Manningham and Brandon Jacobs put that to rest over the last two months. Both former Giants skipped the team's ring ceremony in May, and neither was on hand when the 2011 Giants visited the White House Friday.

Jacobs said last month that it didn't take long for him to feel like a 49er. Jim Harbaugh's we-are-family style took hold immediately, he said. And besides, the spring practices were so intense and demanding that he had to focus on the task at hand. (He said he wasn't thinking about the Giants, although he had Oct. 14 - the day the Giants visit Candlestick Park - at the top of his memory bank).

Manningham also is consciously trying to shove 2011 to the far back of his mind. The Merc's Dan Brown recently wrote a fantastic piece detailing Manningham's famous Super Bowl reception. Manningham, however, didn't seem at all interested in re-living his six-month-old glory. "I don't ignore it. I know what I did: I won a Super Bowl with a nice catch," he said. "But I'm trying to get another one, man."

Sacbee.com is happy to provide a forum for reader interaction, discussion, feedback and reaction to our stories. However, we reserve the right to delete inappropriate comments or ban users who can't play nice. (See our full terms of service here.)

Here are some rules of the road:

• Keep your comments civil. Don't insult one another or the subjects of our articles. If you think a comment violates our guidelines click the "report abuse" button to notify the moderators. Responding to the comment will only encourage bad behavior.

• Don't use profanities, vulgarities or hate speech. This is a general interest news site. Sometimes, there are children present. Don't say anything in a way you wouldn't want your own child to hear.

• Do not attack other users; focus your comments on issues, not individuals.

• Stay on topic. Only post comments relevant to the article at hand. If you want to discuss an issue with a specific user, click on his profile name and send him a direct message.

• Do not copy and paste outside material into the comment box.

• Don't repeat the same comment over and over. We heard you the first time.

• Do not use the commenting system for advertising. That's spam and it isn't allowed.

• Don't use all capital letters. That's akin to yelling and not appreciated by the audience.

You should also know that The Sacramento Bee does not screen comments before they are posted. You are more likely to see inappropriate comments before our staff does, so we ask that you click the "report abuse" button to submit those comments for moderator review. You also may notify us via email at feedback@sacbee.com. Note the headline on which the comment is made and tell us the profile name of the user who made the comment. Remember, comment moderation is subjective. You may find some material objectionable that we won't and vice versa.

If you submit a comment, the user name of your account will appear along with it. Users cannot remove their own comments once they have submitted them, but you may ask our staff to retract one of your comments by sending an email to feedback@sacbee.com. Again, make sure you note the headline on which the comment is made and tell us your profile name.
