 The National Football League said Saturday it did not send a letter to Donald Trump about the timing of the presidential debate schedule, after the GOP nominee claimed the league had.

Asked by ABC News' George George Stephanopoulos in an interview that will air on "This Week" Sunday, Trump said, "I'll tell you what I don't like. It's against two NFL games."

"I got a letter from the NFL saying 'this is ridiculous, why are the debates against' — because the NFL doesn't want to go against the debates because the debates are going to be pretty massive from what I understand," Trump said.

The NFL denied any letter was sent.

"While we would obviously wish the Debate Commission could find another night, we did not send a letter to Mr. Trump," The NFL said in a statement Saturday.

Here in flyover country, I have heard a saying,

"He would rather climb a tree and tell a lie than stand on the ground and tell the truth."

Did Trump think that the NFL would just ignore this?

He doesn't care because his fanboys will love it and eat it up.  If you try to tell them he was lying,  the go nuts on you and make excuses fire and of course "The NFL is Lying"

I wonder if Trump is still bitter at the NFL for beating him when he had an USFL team..

There's no reason to believe the NFL would send a letter to Trump.

Any complaints they would have would be better served by taking it up with the networks and the parties.
