I hadn’t realized Clifford “Black Rhino” Etienne is one of my people. (Well, he may not be ethnically Cajun, but he’s culturally Cajun — that’s just as good.) My high school was about five miles from his house. I’ll look past that armed robbery conviction on his C.V. and root him on to victory Saturday against crazy man Mike Tyson. (Etienne’s gone from a 7-1 underdog to a 4-1 underdog in the last week.)

Etienne is freaking classic...did you hear this quote of his this week? In a very halting, sleepy sounding voice he says (over the course of about 60 seconds), "I'm trying to keep my body mentally sharp, and my mind physically sharp....or...the other way"
Beautiful.
