Not the same but funny.

 

I think you're an idiot for thinking Greenberg is an idiot.

Anybody who listens to that clip has to realize that Greenberg just misspoke. I think that it is really disgusting that you or anyone else would try to stir up trouble for someone who makes an honest mistake.

Some people just seem to always be looking for an opportunity to throw someone under the bus.

 

Exactly. He was obviously meaning to say "King Junior", ended up putting them together into "Kunior", but caught himself halfway.

Nothing to see here. Move along, move along.

 

As someone who frequently accidentally combines two words when speaking too fast that was my first thought too.

 

same here...it nothing worth paying attention to

 

Someone might have pulled a Ron Burgundy?....or a Steve Carell/ Bruce Almighty on him. :grin:


Seriously I think this is what happened to him. Those guys speak really fast at times.

 

absolutely much ado about nothing. who cares why it came out like that. it was an accident, that is all.

 

I'm with the "When raccoons tried getting on our back porch, Mama just chased them off with a broom" camp.

Not the first time that's happened...

 

I'm in the camp that he was trying to say "King Junior." He probably would have been better off had he not caught himself halfway through and just finished saying Kunior.

 

If the guy has a history of being a racist it would be one thing, but since he's never made any other racist comments he should be given the benefit of the doubt.

 

That's funny, right there.

He probably was reading a card or notes and Haiti was written real close to an A letter.

 

Greenberg mispronounced it, by accident. It wasn't intentional in any sense.

 

Greeney's cool. We all know it was just a mistake.
