Channing Crowder must have failed geography

Let me start off by saying that I love Channing Crowder and think he's going to be one heck of a player. But man, his comments today make me really question the education that students receive at the University of Florida. Here's what he said today when talking about the upcoming trip to London:

"I couldn't find London on a map if they didn't have the names of the countries. I swear to God. I don't know what nothing is. I know Italy looks like a boot. I learned that. I know 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."

Now that is good stuff right there. After these comments, he was reminded that Dolphins receiver Marvin Allen is from London. That's when Crowder asked, "He's from London?" He then went on to proclaim, "I don't want to say he didn't look the part because that's a stereotype, but he didn't look the part. I heard him talk, and I thought he had a recorder and was just mouthing."

We love you, Channing! If nothing else, you're providing us with some humor to get through these tough days.

Crowder

I have to think that's a joke. I've seen interviews with Channing before where he jokes with reporters.

joke

I would think he was joking, too. Either way, it's some funny sh*t.

The NFL

isn't exactly littered with scholarly types, but I have to think Crowder is just hamming it up for fun.

I mean he even said, well I know London Fletcher :)

Jokes

We, devoted Dolfans, know that Crowder was joking.

Unfortunately, Mike Florio, Matt Drudge, and now the entire country do not.

What else can go wrong this season?

Channing Crowder

Classic Crowder! One of the funniest Gators I have know. If he's not busting your guts on the field, he's busting your guts off the field by laughing!
