I was wide open and had the whole left end to myself all the way to end zone.
After that breakdown, coach was heralded and patted on the back for calling that play. He and I looked at each other and winked, knowing better. But he took the accolades and even.said that he knew they would do that. When my boys saw me in the mall, what do you think I said when they were ribbing me for such an easy touchdown (guys from other team). I said, "you know we scouted u for targeting FB"...which they didnt.
So,yeah...this

Romney "plants" at the NAACP convention in Houston?
Take this for what it's worth. Exactly what it is worth I have no clue.

Maybe there's no solid proof, but there seems to be some smoke around the story..
Quote:
We've reached out to the Romney campaign and to Innis, a conservative African-American activist, to ask about Shelton's claim, and will update if we hear back.
Romney told Fox News earlier: “I spoke with a number of African-American leaders after the event and they said, you know, a lot of folks do not want to say they will not vote for President Obama but they are disappointed in his lack of policies to improve the schools,”
Late Update, 9:55pm: Romney campaign spokeswoman Andrea Saul tells Lean Forward via email, referring to Shelton's claims: "Not true." Asked who Romney was referring to in his Fox News remarks, Saul did not immediately respond.
Late Late Update, 10:12pm: Mark Thompson, a radio host who attended Romney's speech, is backing Shelton's claim.
Thompson told Lawrence O'Donnell, host of The Last Word, that Romney "brought about 20 black Republicans with him," who served as "applauders for his applause lines." Thompson called the move "bizarre," and added, again echoing Shelton, that these were the black leaders Romney was referring to in his comments on Fox.
Even Later Update, 10:58pm: And Roland Martin of TV One's Washington Watch, tweeted earlier today: "Romney bussed in about 200 supporters, including a number of African Americans, including Fla Lt Gov Jennifer Carroll."

Here's a picture of the hall minutes before Biden spoke. He could have used a few plants.

Plus it reminds me of DadsDream's arguments... I miss the old guy...

I realize it's not that big of a deal.. It's just interesting, if true.. Was he so worried about the potential reaction that he wanted to make sure he had some support in the crowd?
