I dunno....if you're a Broncos fan and one of your star cornerbacks is Aqib Talib...
But yeah, when Philly fans start suicide bombing the Dallas Cowboys' stadium, then it can be a fair cop.

"I'm not saying Ben Carson is crazy, I'm just saying...a guy who talks about stabbing his friend and attack his mom with a hammer..."
"I'm not saying Fiorina is ugly, I'm just saying....Americans aren't going to vote for a woman who looks like the Overly Attached Girlfriend meme when she grew up."
"I'm not saying Bush is a loser, I'm just saying....
