Ebonics is alive and well. True dat.

I just finished watching the Ravens-Cowboys game on the NFL Network.
Because of my affection for individuals like Ray Lewis and Terrell Owens, I would normally route for a tie but because I'm a Giants fan I was pulling for Baltimore.
Nonetheless, is it just me or did the announcing trio of Bob Papa, Marshall Faulk and Deion Sanders remind you of watching the game in a smoke-filled bar within an earshot of three guys who dropped out of junior high?
After listening to Marshall and Deion absolutely butcher the English language for three quarters, (i.e. - "He don't know what the defense be doin", "we was talking to him before" and "he don't wanna hear dat") I had to hit the mute button.
