[PATSYLICIOUS]

Really?

lol it may not be the ‘cracker’ you are thinking of. I remember one time at work this lady referred to herself as a cracker and i was like huhhhh… then later it was explained to me that its a florida term , short for firecracker or something like that (shes from fl)

Hopefully an isolated incident.

Question: With him on IR (and I think season ending IR, right?), has he actually been in any meetings live with players?

I played on a AAU hoops team in the late 80s and being in the minority (i'm white) on the team I was called "Cracker" and a few other choice words I can't repeat here.

That's a great question, yes, he's on season ending IR and I'm not sure.....if anyone knows, please let us know.

Sorry. Meant to imply I didn't care. We were on the same team. They were good dudes.

Cracker? Who cares. They called me white m-fer and pasty b**ch. Whatever.

I held my own on the court. That was all that mattered to me at 17 and 18yo.

I guess. If a white person is offended when they are called, "Cracker" they need to look up what an ethnic/racial slur really is.

Don’t know if it was mentioned or not yet, but Carl Cheffers is the ref for this game.

****... and this game starts at 8:20pm on a freaking Saturday. It's going to finish at 2 a.m.

I'm hoping it was just a Charlie horse and he's good to go...we'll see later today when the injury report is out.

Unless you can dunk, then they call you something else.

I was called "Cracker"

What the world needs now is another folk singer
Like I need a hole in my head.

Nor am I offended.
And I almost always enjoy his posts.
But if the shoe was on the other foot?
I mean, why go there?

Amazing band, as is CVB.

Natick firemen I played hoops with at a club Med said Doug Flutie could dunk. Other folks I played with said you could slip several sheets of paper under my sneakers on a jump.

I played against him once, in Framingham. That son of a ***** is fast. His reflexes are otherworldly.
