As dumb as the kid sounds, the reporter has got to be even dumber from some of the questions asked. Then again, a good reporter frames them for the level of the subject being interviewed.

ED NOTE: Sure Toni, when a recruit says something that makes sense you're the first to tell us what a smart kid you have on board. Of course that doesn't happen very often does it?

Do you know how he does in school? I'm not bothered by that. When I go to Barnes and Noble, I pick up sports magazines too, not Charles xxxxens. It doesn't really mean anything. At least he reads something.

ED. NOTE: Yes you fit nicely into this mold, Goobey.
