Crowder, a former Florida Gator and Atlanta native, apparently isn’t sure where the plane is headed when it takes off this afternoon for Sunday’s game against the New York Giants in Wembley Stadium. “I couldn’t find London on a map if they didn’t have the names of the countries,” Crowder said. “I swear to God. I don’t know what nothing is. I know Italy looks like a boot. I learned that. “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.” When reminded Dolphins practice squad receiver and NFL Europe veteran Marvin Allen is from London, Crowder’s standup routine didn’t miss a beat. “He’s from London?” Crowder said. “I knew he was from over there because he talks funny. I was surprised (when they met) because — 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.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CM916 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 You have to try really hard to learn things in Florida. They actually brought me up on plagiarism reveiw once because I knew how to write a research paper properly my first semester. I told them, "where I come from, you had to write a paper to get out of high school." On a side note, this guy is going to be shocked when he sees black people in London who were born there. I guess he has the simplistic view that Europe is white, Africa is black, etc. Provided he knows the continents.:doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
