Crowder learns he won’t need translator in London

By Tim Graham | Wednesday, October 24, 2007, 07:54 PM


Maybe he was joking, but gregarious Dolphins linebacker Channing Crowder confessed today he didn’t know until Tuesday that people spoke English in London.

Poll: Do you think he was kidding?

Crowder, a former Florida Gator and Atlanta native, apparently isn’t sure where the plane is headed when it takes off this afternoon for Sunday’s game against the New York Giants in Wembley Stadium.

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

“I know (Washington Redskins linebacker) 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.”

When reminded Dolphins practice squad receiver and NFL Europe veteran Marvin Allen is from London, Crowder’s standup routine didn’t miss a beat.

“He’s from London?” Crowder said. “I knew he was from over there because he talks funny. I was surprised (when they met) because — I don’t want to say he didn’t look the part because that’s a stereotype — but he didn’t look the part. I heard him talk, and I thought he had a recorder and was just mouthing.”

lol, i dont entirely blame him. some of the cockney and slang in london does take some effort to comprehend. not everyone in london speaks the queen's english.

Its also difficult for me to watch a guy ritchie film and the like without subtitles. you may not get a lot of the in-jokes if ur not from england or have a friend who does.

Wow. I especially love when Americans go to other countries and tell the workers that they should learn English cause they can't understand them.
