When we was Fab

I caught former NBA and Michigan b-baller, Jalen Rose being more ignorant than usual on TV.

ESPN's First Take has a point/counterpoint segment with various topics.

Wednesday's first topic was, in the wake of Sean Taylor's death, "Are Athletes Targets?".

Among the first words out of Rose's mouth...

"We talk about a society where the economy is down..."

The economy grew at 4.9% last quarter, the best pace in 4 years!

The White House has reduced its economic forecast for next year, projecting growth of 2.7% instead of 3.1%.

That's still better than the Clinton average of 2.4%, back then people deluded themselves into thinking that was a good economy and the scientific community is united in that fact.

Rose rambled on with...

"Things are worse than they've ever been financially..."

Rose was probably too busy taking money from a Michigan booster to study about the Great Depression or Jimmy Carter's economic malaise of double digit inflation (12%), double digit interest rates (21%) and gas shortages.

As a matter of record, Rose and other Fab Fibbers had their records at Michigan erased for the "great shame" they brought to the school.

Fab - but its all over now baby blue
Fab - long time ago when we was fab
