Guys on PTI call it a product of the times.

Agree?

It was a joke. However, so is PTI.

Scone Man played the angle up just now on his show. Slow news day. And because a journalist who was there wrote it, "I believe him", Scone man said. Now let's get Condon on and talk about when the Cortana Mall was classy back in the day of Shaq.

Yeah, that's why he drove a small car with the front seat cut out.

Didn't he carry around a cell phone with no service at LSU?

May have later. Can't remember the make of the car but very vivid memories of him rolling down poorly tinted rear window of small 4dr vehicle. Was probably a freshman and proud of his ingenuity.

Well he didn't drive the BMW that John Williams drove, I promise you that. I remember the day he declared for the draft. Someone hung a sheet out that dorm right next to Brousard that read....

HEY JOHN, NOW THAT YOU'RE LEAVING US, CAN WE KEEP THE CAR

Moscona can be just the worst sometimes. 3 hrs to talk is too much for some people

Don't remember that but would have been one of those huge ones so highly doubt it. Traditional service providers didn't really exist. The technology to block and subsequently charge for satellite television and phones came later.

No, he drove a maroon Bronco II with a front license plate that read "SHAQ-ATTAQ"

He carried around a fake cell phone called a Cell-u-Clone and it looked like Gordon Gecko's cell phone. He showed it to me in ECON one day.

I'm kinda amazed people believe it was a joke, shite he may say, "joking" but it wouldn't surprise me if 100% true.

Pretty sure Barkley made a similar comment on finebaum a month ago.
