That guy was pissed. Remember the rules, if a white athlete is angry, he's "intense", if a black athlete is angry, he's a bad guy, and dangerously violent. See Bonds, Barry and compare to Clemens, Roger or McGuire, Mark (all pre-steroids, of course).

Not least of which because something could happen, either in the news or closer at hand, and I could just say, "You know, this is one of those times when I don't wonder <i>Why Black People Tend To Shout</i>." http://www.amazon.com/Why-Black-People-Tend-Shout/dp/0140168532 One of my favorite book titles ever was Why Black People Tend To Shout, by Ralph Wiley.

And deer often mumble the lyrics." It's good to know he hasn't lost his comedic touch that served him so well on Airplane. “What’s weird about it is that every morning when I get out of bed, bluebirds, squirrels, and deer help me get dressed while we sing “We Are the World.” By the way, squirrels really suck at tying shoes.
