    if the Wizards deal had gone through, maybe Obama could have gotten TMac to be his second.

    [rquoter]Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) and his daughter, Ayla, say they're serious about their proposal to play hoops with President Barack Obama at the White House.

    And now the father-daughter team is taking it a step further: They'd like the option of opening the game up to the public in order to raise money for Haiti.

    "I think it'd be really fun. … I was thinking why not charge admission. It'd be a really good game knowing me and my dad — we're very competitive — and give all the proceeds to Haiti," Ayla Brown said Monday in an interview with ABC News.

    Brown aides tell POLITICO that the proposal is still in the "idea" stage and that a potential basketball charity game is still a concept that could be presented in a proposal. Aides say they haven't formally approached the White House yet.

    But Brown did propose the idea to Obama just after he won the election last month. Brown also pitched the idea to Vice President Joe Biden shortly after his swearing-in.

    "I tell you what, I think it would be a hell of a game," Biden told Brown.[/rquoter]

    Typical, it always has to be about the Browns.
