I watched part of the video, but don't know what Paul Rodriguez the skater looks like. I would assume most people on this blog has no idea who he is, so it would be more helpful if you could explain who he is and why this is board worthy.

P-Rod is a professional skateboarder of some repute. (Although not particularly relevant, his dad is the late actor / comedian Paul Rodriguez Sr. of 'Born in East LA' fame [to the extent that that can be called fame].)

The main point is the somewhat-rare, informal interaction with Jabrill during his combine prep.

I should have clarified that it was Jabrill, not Pep Hamilton. This is a rare - and unprecedented, for me - scenario in which one has to clarify which 'Pep' one is referring to in a given context. I regret the error.

No Pep Guardiolas were harmed in the making of this post.

The board can be a little harsh when it comes to Grammar/Idiom/Ettiquete, but it beats the alternative.   The fact that the criticism gets criticized says something.  I would expect nothing less from a Michigan board.

You don't shorten a great name like "Peppers," whether its to "Pep" or "ers" or "Eppe." It's a yuuuuge disservice to him, to us, to the program, to the country. Everybody says so.
