I saw the thing live and thought nothing of it other than he thought McNabb is overrated. The other guys on the show heard it and responded to the fact that he was calling the guy overrated.
Boy, does the truth bite. The fact is that everyone does want to see more black coaches. That's why everyone is FORCED to interview a few minority candidates, even when they know they have no shot, like the incident with the Lions.
Personally, I prefer the "mobile" aka "black" quarterbacks like Elway, Young, Brunell (early years), McNair, Vick, McNabb. They've got an extra way to beat you. The more weapons you have on your team. the more ways you have to win.
Even though I'm black myself, maybe it's because I'm a first generation American
Ma's because I'm a 1st generation American. But the blacks in this country have suffered tremendously psychologically as a result of slavery and all that has transpired since. It ain't nothing but a joke. Everyone has their opinions on players, just like on The Best Damn Sports Show Period, they continually bash Vince Carter, because the only thing he ever did was win a slam dunk contest. Anything that comes out of a white person's mouth must be appealing, and they're constantly looking to find hidden meanings. Why? Because it's always been them who've done the most to hurt them. So, like anyone who knows their history does, they're on the lookout to make sure it doesn't happen again. Really sucks.
