Important news in the life and times of Swaggy P

It’s official now: Doug Collins has embraced Swaggy P. Barack Obama becoming the first black President was cool, but this is a whole other level of progress.

A note in today’s Delco Times:

Nick Young, better known in the locker room by his moniker Swaggy P, said he gave himself the nickname one day and it caught on. Young said the Sixers run plays for “SP,” rather than “NY.”

They said it couldn’t be done. They said it was impossible for a grown man to call himself Swaggy P and be taken seriously by his fellow professionals, let alone his superiors.

They said he was too immature, too reckless.

They said it was Swaggy P Against The World, and our hero was doomed.

They were all wrong.
