Ultra,
I'm not TRYING to be funny. I just figured that if I put the elipses (sp) there, instead of stating "brother" more folks would quickly read it. Sorry. I meant no harm. I like Richardson as a player...he used to date singer, Brandy. He's a cool guy. I feel bad.

You should've put brother and I think you are smart enough to realize that. You were going for the "shock" factor here; not cool.

I changed the headline.
