Alabama Football Player Bo Scarbrough Denies Yelling 'F*ck Trump' Before National Title Game

Alabama running back Bo Scarbrough is insisting that the Monday night reports are not true, and that he didn’t yell a profane message about President Trump in the moments prior to the College Football Playoff National Championship Game.

The alleged remark caused a lot of commotion since Trump appeared on the field, and watched the game in person last night. Shortly before kickoff, however, the Sporting News tweeted a video which they reported showed Scarbrough yelling “F*ck Trump” as his team walked through the tunnel of Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

The video got a lot of attention online, but after the game was over, Scarbrough tweeted that Sporting News got it wrong. The Alabama tailback said the expletive was directed at his competition — the Georgia Bulldogs.

And my spouse, from Alabama, will still sometimes say something that sounds pretty much like a single syllable grunt - "Jorm" whith a bit of an aspiration at the end instead of an enunciated "Jor-giah" as I say for Georgia when he's talking to his sister in Western Alabama for a while.
There's a bit of mush-mouthing that can go with the accent if they stayed in state all their lives - have you heard their replacement governor?

He saw the video, and he didn't think Bo said "Trump", even though what he did say sounded awfully close to it. There wasn't a "D" or "T" sound at the start of the word. Actually, Laz still isn't quite sure what the young man said.
