Larry Johnson Encourages Me to Deal Crack

Chris will be blogging from somewhere in Arizona all week where apparently a game is happening. He promises to not once mention anything that might actually occur on the field of play.

The day is winding down, but we happened upon Larry Johnson talking to the Sporting News Radio guys. Nothing particularly interesting about that, but then I noticed L.J.'s watch (in case you haven't figure it out, I have a mild obsession with time pieces):



I had to ask him about it (that handkerchief isn't bad either). What ensued made me think L.J. is the coolest NFLer not named Clinton Portis. Actual exchange (seriously, I didn't make this up. I swear):

ME: Seriously, man, how much was that watch?
LJ: About 300?
ME: Dollars?
LJ: Thousand. They only made three of them in the world.
ME: $300,000? I’d have to spend 10 years worth of pay to buy that.
LJ: Or you could deal crack and get it in three weeks.

And with that, I'd like to submit my formal resignation. I have rocks to slang.
