TheGoodBits Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 This was from a preseason game a few weeks ago. I just saw it on failblog.org and searched for a thread here but couldn't find one. It blows my mind that someone can actually be this inarticulate.

Santana_Fan Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 That's more sad than funny. I seriously thought that someone was doing like a DJ-type of mix on what he was saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.A.C.O.L.B. Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I think it's a stutter and not an intelligence thing. I give him props for going up there and trying to talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you're right... I can't really tell. I'll feel kind of bad for posting this if it really is just a speech impediment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan T. Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I think it's a stutter and not an intelligence thing. I give him props for going up there and trying to talk. This is right. It's no reflection on his intelligence whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyRomoProBowl Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 He is prolly a very intelligent guy and seems very polite, its more a speech thing...and having speech issues in my family, nephew and my son, i dont laugh at all, its serious!

EnFoRcEr_uPu Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I think it's a stutter and not an intelligence thing. I give him props for going up there and trying to talk. I agree. He clearly has a stuttering problem that really shouldn't be made fun of. At least he had the balls to go up there and speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeMarco Murray 29 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Stutter plus nerves. I don't find it to amusing IMO. They didn't even spell his name the correct way in the video ... it's LANKSTER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Lloyd Christmas Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 poor guy. it was funny at first then i realized the dude actually has a speech issue. seems like one humble dude though. that probably took a lot of guts to get up there knowing he'd be stuttering all over the place.

Laxpunk2006 Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Then he looks at the fresh million in his bank account and laughs at the media I doubt a seventh round pick pocketed a million yet. Took guts on his part to stand up there knowing he would stutter. Hopefully the Bills PR department works with him to try to help him out a bit. I also hope the reporters are responsible enough not to try to embaress him if he gets up there again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Sassy Molassy Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I agree with everyone else. Seems like he has a speech impediment, also the fact that he was in-front of a ton of cameras, could make a lot of people talk like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Yeah, sounds like a speech problem. I mean, there's no way someone says "like um" that many times. Not all stuttering chops up words, sometimes people get stuck like a record on a phrase or word (while saying the phrase completely.) I hope he made the team, he was very polite to the person asking the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gimpy007 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 I hope he made the team, he was very polite to the person asking the question. Looks like he did make the team - http://www.nfl.com/players/ellislankster/profile?id=LAN676799 Good for him! He deserves a lot of credit for doing the interview knowing he has a speech impediment. I grew up with a lisp and use to get made fun of quit a bit. This of course got me into a lot fights. As an adult I decided to take it head on and I no longer have a lisp. I now work in sales - A career in which you rely on good speaking skills. I'm sure Lankster can overcome his stuttering issue just as I overcame my lisp. If he can make the NFL, he can beat this. So a shot out to my "Speech Impediment Brother from another Mother" - I got your back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
