    From rotoworld.com

    Dolphins LB Channing Crowder, who appears likely to start in the middle Sunday against the Giants with Zach Thomas ailing, says he didn't know until Tuesday that people in London speak English.

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


    LOL :D

    Crowder scored a 30 on the Wunderlic Test which is actually a high score - significantly higher than the average NFL linebacker.

    It says he only was there two years, so I doubt he go a degree and would suspect he declared early because he would've had trouble staying eligible even in a place like Florida.

    He's just kidding.

    'I know London Fletcher. We did a football camp together...I’m sure that’s a coincidental name'

    This is actually pretty witty.

    Crowder was National Honor Society in HS and has always been considered a smart athlete. He was joking.

    They talked about this on PTI yesterday, and Dan Le Batard of the Miami paper said that he knows Crowder and was pretty sure he wasn't joking. He basically said he's not the smartest guy in the world.
