I play Duke basketball

J.J. Redick, college basketball star and academic, offered a few words on the Duke lacrosse incident.

"I’m actually close with some of the guys on the team, a few of the seniors. They are all great guys, and whether it happened or not it’s just unfortunate that this incident has become such a big deal," he said. "But it should be a big deal if it did happen. It’s just unfortunate that there was not certain guys at that party who have been singled out."

Let's break that down:

"They are all great guys, and whether it happened or not it’s just unfortunate that this incident has become such a big deal." They are great guys, and whether or not they gangraped a women it's unfortunate that they've caught so much bad press over it.

"But it should be a big deal if it did happen." Whoops! I didn't mean what I just said. That's why I said it.

"It’s just unfortunate that there was not certain guys at that party who have been singled out." J.J. Redick doesn't even know what that means.

I'll assume all of that roughly translates to "The Duke jocks are sticking together because we're better than everyone. Much, much better."
