Florida Gators trash talk, Burt Reynolds at Neyland, and Peyton Manning jabbing Barack Obama lead Tennessee Vols Rocky Top news for Tuesday, June 7.

It is a historic day in the United States of America as the presidential primaries look like they will finally come to an end today. Then we get about two months before we have to start hearing about all the general election talk.

So however sick of the elections you are now, it’s just getting started.

To take your mind off of it, just think about college football being less than three months away. And let’s move over to Tennessee Vols athletics.

There’s even politics in today’s news with that as the Denver Broncos visited Barack Obama at the White House Monday with a few former Vols in attendance.

We’ve also got some trash talk going on.

But let’s start with a celebrity who was at Neyland Stadium on Monday.
