Houston Texans safety Jimmie Ward had been away from the South for so long that he had forgotten the one basic necessity that will help you navigate through any state, city, or small town that runs along the “Bible Belt,” and that is speaking to everyone that crosses your path.
“In California, it’s okay to be rude,” Ward said as he addressed the media on Thursday. “People walk past you, look, don’t say anything. It’s normal. You walk past somebody here (Houston), ‘Hey, how you are doing, sir?’ I was like, ‘Hey, my bad. I forgot.’ It’s just the culture. How y’all are excited, y’all are smiling. It’s something I’m not used to.”
