I mean, it's close to it

That's clearly not what the expression means though. It has nothing to do with race.

Screamin A are licking their chops to hit this story

You'll be happy to know SAS just started his radio show and he's talking about the game last night first.

The majority of prisons are black so it’s a fair assessment. These morons need to look At the facts and Think with their brain

, at worst, people have said it was a dumb thing to say if you're trying to come to a solution with the players.

He could have been trying to infer the latter

Considering a lot of the players probably would be in or would end up in prison, if not for athletics, he's not really wrong.

Someone has to ask him who he was referring to, if not the players?

Bob McNair is a horse racing guy owned stonerside stables.

He owned congaree, Bob and John, cowboy Cal, midshipman, pretty sure he owned seeking the gold but not sure


I had a lot of respect your him
