Do Londoners speak English? Is he having a Giraffe? We all make perfect Eighteen Pence. What a merchant banker this guy is.

Yeah, Channing Crowder - for lack of a better term - is a smartass. I know that's hard to believe coming from a former Florida player.

Crowder added: "I know (Washington Redskins linebacker) London Fletcher. We did a football camp together. So I know him.

"That's the closest thing I know to London. He's black, so I'm sure he's not from London. I'm sure that's a coincidental name."

Actually, I don't think he was. He makes jokes a lot of the time, but possibly not on this. Dan Le Batard was talking about this yesterday on PTI. Le Batard stated that he has spoken with Crowder a bunch of times and the guy is for all intent purposes, an uneducated country bumpkin. The guy supposedly wrestles wild hogs during the off season for kicks.
And there have been studies that have come out recently that Americans are not particularly knowledgeable when it comes to geography.

I only wish he could have found some eligibilty so he could have played for UF this past weekend. Lord knows they needed it.
