All jokes aside. I've never heard a college "educated" football player fresh out of college not sound like a complete rap idiot during an interview. Other than Jerry Rice and Barry Sanders and most of the old timers. Yeah I know most star athletes do not even have to go to class and get a pass through college but WTF. They use wrong grammar at the wrong time. They say Axe, they say Na'msayin Na'msayin after everything. What the **** is going on. I realize we as blacks have different speaking patterns but some of these cats sound like they have'nt spent a day in school. Yet they are graduates of college??? That shit dont bother yall?

You do know that you can graduate college with a degree in Physical education (can't think of the fancy name) right?

But then you don't go to college to get elocution lessons BP. You study your subject and that's it.

Your speech patterns are set in firmly by the time you're about college age anyway.
