In another story for the geography ignorance file, Miami Dolphins linebacker Channing Crowder was a little stumped when it came to knowing what language is spoken in London, England.  The Miami Dolphins played the New York Giants in the first regular NFL game played outside of the United States.  Channing Crowder commented on his lack of geography acumen by saying:

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