You never know what you are going to get from BYU senior receiver Devon Blackmon — on or off the field — but it is almost always entertaining.
Blackmon, from Fontana, Calif., came up to the media interview room after practice on Tuesday to discuss his career performance against East Carolina on Saturday — nine catches for 132 yards — and ended up making a statement that has caused quite the uproar on Twitter after I and several other reporters posted it around noon.
When I asked Blackmon in a group interview that was lighthearted and playful in nature about his "trials" and his "journey" and how he is doing off the field as a non-LDS, African American in Provo, he said he could not compare his personal struggles and difficulties to the trials faced by Jesus Christ and Tupac, a deceased American rapper who was fatally shot in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas in 1996.
