Typical free board deal. Pick out some minor nervous speech pattern by an 18 year old and blow it out of proportion while some make hearsay comments about his intelligence. Some of you guys are real peaches. Let's see somebody stick a microphone in your face and see how you do.

I made no inference relative to his intelligence. My comments were more so about how a phrase has permeated our lexicon.

Right?

When I say something and someone says "right?" my eyes narrow.

"I know, right?"

I've got a brother whom I love who says "you know" an average of 14 times a minute...I know...I've counted...my wife thinks I have an obsession...

He also whistles.....

It makes me laugh that you made mention of his whistling. That cracks me up, but I understand it. Although I would love to hear my dad whistle again. He whistled a lot.

I made no inference relative to his intelligence.

I mean he is a 19 year old kid and was obviously pretty nervous I mean in front of the media. Also, I mean I have heard from multiple people that he is not the brightest crayon in the box if you know what "I mean".
It's also happened before you know?

I said "some" posters. I didn't specifically say who made the comment.
