    Wow, I'm not targeting the University of Florida specifically because this problem is systemic throughout most 1A colleges with a solid football program. But sheesh......

    I agree. It's unfortunate. Patrick Ewing admitted that he never knew how to read until years into his career with the Knicks. Yet he has a degree from Georgetown.

    Remember when SeaBass, Janakowski got arrested for attempeted bribery of a cop who did a traffic stop? His defense was that he didn't understand English. Guess that's not a requirement to stay in FSU.

    :lol:

    Don't know if I'd let Chowder Crowder suck me in that easily. The guy's no dummy and I would wager he could find London on a map. As I recall, he scored a 30 on his pre-draft Wonderlic test.

    You know, I read that he was a smart guy when he was drafted, so I was a bit surprised by this. Then again, Lebertard was filling in on PTI the other night and said that he knows Crowder and "take it from me, he wasn't joking"

    Hah ... should have figured it was someone like Dan the Retard ...er La Ba$tard ...er La Batard, who'd be plowing this thorugh the airwaves of our fine nation.

    LaBat is one of the biggest cane homers around and one fine example of the typical hurricane faithful. He is a laugh .... and what is so very wrong with ESPN, especially in their radio programming.

    If his track record on FL football is anything like the crap he writes about the Jets then I'm inclined to believe you.

    We all have at least one thing in common. We agree that Dan Lebatard sucks......big time.

    I read about this on a Gator board and apparently Crowder was fooling around, joking etc.
