Domonique Foxworth fucking rules

Proof that you can be intelligent and play football at the same timeRavens corner Domonique Foxworth just made me sit up and change the way I think about cornerbacks.  I have to admit, I see them as mostly cocky, brash, reactionary speed racers with loose lips and five cent heads.

Basically, you sit on the opposite side of the table from them at dinners.

I tend to be more of an offensive-line type of guy.

But with Peter King on vacation from Sports Illustrated for the month of July, SI invites four "guest columnists" to take over King's Monday Morning Quarterback duties, the first of which was Foxworth.

And he didn't disappoint.

And from the "Things I Think I Think" section, a Peter King standby, these thoughts from Foxworth:

a. Today's technology is amazing. At least once a month I look at my smartphone or iPad and say, "Holy $*&@, this is incredible."

b. Hey, fellas, you should be clothed in your Twitter profile pic. Nothing is more unsettling than reading "The US economy is in shambles. We can't afford to raise the debt ceiling" while looking at greased-up abs.

c. I think the education crisis is today's civil rights movement. Our inability to provide high level education and opportunities to children in every community is just as oppressive to some children as an America that permits racial discrimination.

d. I think cell phones have ruined pushing people into pools.

e. Whenever someone says, "I'm not book smart, but I'm street smart," all I hear is, "I'm not real smart, but I'm imaginary smart."

Foxworth is smart, interesting, funny and insightful.   And he just picked up a bevy of new fans here at Ugly Fours.

Humility?  I fucking love this guy.

Comedy's tough, baby.  Slingin' jokes is tougher than it looks...

It's not that I'm gay for him, it's that I want my children to be exactly like him
