Austen's troubles stemmed from an appearance on Barstool Sports' "Rundown" Thursday ...

"I didn't even know Mexicans were that smart. ...That's f***ed up," Austen said. "I didn't mean it like that. You see, you guys know that the Chinese guy is always the smartest guy in math class."

"The way I used to talk to the Jews in Boca. I just didn't care," she said. "They would complain and b***h about everything. I gave a guy, delivered his beer, and he was complaining to me that there was too much head. I knew that he was a stingy a** and he wasn't going to give me a tip" ...

Barstool sports?

If you knew you couldn't keep control of your mouth, maybe you should have stuck with the lemonade. Then you'd still have a job.

Stupid is as stupid does.

They can't compete. And when it becomes obvious, as with the Texas valedictorians, they pull out every stupid trick in the stupid book. The book they can barely read.
