Can someone help him get his foot out of his mouth, please???
Posted by: Siouxie | October 25, 2007 at 12:39 PM
Apparently he was kidding, but if you've heard any blue collar Londoners talking in rhyming slang, you might prefer trying to interpret rap lyrics.

What college did Crowder attend? The Blackeyed Pea School for Idiots?!

So much for dolphins being smarter than humans...

E's a good linebacker, 'e is.

Wait 'til he gets over there and finds out that black people do, indeed, live in London. And they talk funny, too.

fivver...so much for a college education...
siouxie...I think it might be permanently wedged there...
Posted by: daisymae | October 25, 2007 at 01:16 PM
Suzy, he'll be gobsmacked fur sure!

o.k. repeat after me...
"If Manning picks on Channing then it's touchdowns that he's planning."
or
"If Shula needs the moolah, he'll do the hula in Ashtabula."
(by george, i think he's got it!)

The speak English, it just doesn't sound like it.
Posted by: Wench Lizzy | October 25, 2007 at 01:43 PM
I thought they spoke British
*hair flip*
Posted by: Siouxie | October 25, 2007 at 01:44 PM
I dunno. When I was in London, there were a few folks that their cockney was thick enough, I wished I'd had a translator.
Posted by: Nookee | October 25, 2007 at 01:47 PM
Nookee, there is NOTHING wrong with a thick coc...
what?
ohhhh...
nevermind ;-)

Personally, I liked the basket weaving course offered in the comments section. *Warning: racist idiot commentors prior the basket-weaving link.

Zacly, Sioux!
Posted by: Suzy Q | October 25, 2007 at 02:07 PM
Right on, Suzy Q!
I heard the whole interview on the radio last evening. The big guy is also afraid to fly.
... and from his voice, I don't think he was kidding, but I'm sure his family/coaches/friends is advising him to tell the media that he was. Spin-n-n-n-n!
Posted by: estrogen centrale | October 25, 2007 at 02:10 PM
Really, this is just too pathetic to be in any way amusing.
Maybe now he'll use some of the bazillions of dollars he earns and buy a frikkin' globe. Or a book. Or, even better, a vasectomy.
I'm leaving (this thread anyway)
Posted by: ellie | October 25, 2007 at 02:14 PM
I agree ellie. Imagine, if you will, this genius pro-creating with Ms. Teen "I need a map" USA???
*shudders*
Posted by: Siouxie | October 25, 2007 at 02:23 PM
I wonder if he knows (Geezer Alert!) London Lee.
Picture is from August 1968, apparently, in Atlantic City.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | October 25, 2007 at 02:24 PM
If that procreation occured, the poor child would be unable to find its way out the door...
Posted by: estrogen centrale | October 25, 2007 at 02:25 PM
Do the players get to meet the Kaiser when they're in London? Do they get into the Eiffel Tower for free?
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | October 25, 2007 at 02:27 PM
MtB,
No, they best be practicing. Only time for a quick photo op at the leaning tower.
Posted by: estrogen centrale | October 25, 2007 at 02:31 PM
While he's there maybe he can stop off for a big dish of beef chow mein.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | October 25, 2007 at 02:35 PM
LOL Siouxie! I forgot about her.
Sad, very, very sad.
Posted by: ellie | October 25, 2007 at 02:35 PM
Jeff, isn't it nice that Lee has a big picture window, so that everyone cane see
him doPosted by: estrogen centrale | October 25, 2007 at 02:38 PM
*sweeeeeep*
Posted by: Siouxie | October 25, 2007 at 02:39 PM
Sorry 'bout that.
Posted by: estrogen centrale | October 25, 2007 at 02:40 PM
Are you sure, ec? That's a bummer. I'd be p1ssed if I traveled all that way and didn't even get a chance to kiss the Great Wailing Wall, or climb the Food Pyramid. They're missing great educational opportunities.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | October 25, 2007 at 02:44 PM
This is a joke, right? Dave?
Wait til he finds out that not only do black people live in London, but some of them have even been born there!!!
I'm with ellie here, pathetic. So much for football scholarships...
Posted by: Eleanor | October 25, 2007 at 02:46 PM
MtB,
Have you watched them play at all this year?!?! Wait a minute - whut am I sayin'?!
Have you watched any of the out takes this year? They need to practice to keep their perfect record alive...
Posted by: estrogen centrale | October 25, 2007 at 02:51 PM
I wonder if he is the type of guy who would like to buy a bridge in Brooklyn, just for the hell of it?
Posted by: Wench Lizzy | October 25, 2007 at 02:53 PM
Wench, would this bridge be in Brooklyn, London? The one that crosses the River Styx?
Posted by: ellie | October 25, 2007 at 02:56 PM
I believe he already has some Florida swampland. Maybe he'd love to see the Tower of Babel while he's there. No confuzzlement.
Posted by: Siouxie | October 25, 2007 at 03:02 PM
And Siouxz, that Grand Prix thing you said you wanted to see in France? Turns out they pronounce the second word "pree."
Posted by: padraig | October 25, 2007 at 03:04 PM
well I'll be!
Posted by: Siouxie | October 25, 2007 at 03:16 PM
He probably thinks Philawearcinncicago is a place.
Posted by: daisymae | October 25, 2007 at 03:47 PM
He's gonna really freak out when flies for eight hours to London and it's 16 hours later when he gets there.

I haven't watched NFL Football in a long time. When did they do away with the mandatory helmet rule?
Posted by: Patrick O | October 25, 2007 at 05:47 PM
They speak English in England? Who knew?
(Bets "shag rug" brings on a whole new visual none-the-less)
Posted by: Cheryl Howard | October 25, 2007 at 08:26 PM
Too many tackles without a helmet may have softened his squash?
