Folks got to wondering after a video featuring Van Lathan analyzing what happened went viral on Twitter.
Romo, the CBS analyst known for his exuberant personality, appeared about to have a moment that could have cost him his job.
The former Dallas Cowboys quarterback had his viral moment when he broke down a play in which Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco pulled off an incredible run during a pivotal moment. “The extra yards. The tough yards. The finish on the play,” Romo said while watching a replay of the run. “Right there, you got three ni —Talked about this. The best tackling team. They don’t miss tackles. And that could be the difference.”

Blacks can use it over and over and over. No one else can apparently.
Thank goodness he stopped in mid sentence, had he not he would have been drawn and quartered.
Yes, just one more baby step towards the Orwellian world that our overlords have planned for us. Eventually, we will be arrested for thought crimes, just like in Orwell's non-fiction book "1984".
If you so much as dream about engaging in an unapproved activity, you'd better wake up and report yourself.
Well said. Me too.
This weekend at a bar near CUA in DC a black man had on a hoodie that said “end racism. Hate everyone equally”.
The Sheriff is NEAR
I thought it was OK to say nigga?
“ It’s not a word that I use but I think it’s ridiculous that we’re supposed to feign outrage every time a white person uses it (an act that can end careers and ruin reputations) yet black people totally get a pass. ”
I grew up in the deep, deep south. We knew the word, and rarely used it, but the blacks used it for both an insult as well as a term of endearment. Frankly it has been no skin off my nose (oops..another n-word). I wonder if they want something “exclusive” to them. Funny, I thought that was supposed to be a bad thing. Any black that uses it loses any chance of respect from me. Some it seems like every other word.
Obviously the tackling prowess of each team was discussed in the game-prep meetings. He alluded to that. He also mentioned three points that probably were made in that same meeting. Since there are dozens of words that start with ‘ni’ many of which could apply to his commentary, why start with the word that is a ‘sacred cow’ to the left?
One could also say: when blacks stop using that word, so will society.
I think this is the author but I am not 100% sure
In medieval times the N-word had a ‘k’ in front of it.
Maybe he had just watched Blazing Saddles.
He could have been ready to say “nickle backs” but realized his error and adjusted his commentary.
Maybe he had just watched Blazing Saddles.
That could be near the truth.
It was a long time ago (by today’s standards) that Richard Pryor announced on stage that he would stop using the word ‘nigger’ in his acts. He said it was disrespectful no matter who uses it and he would not be party to that. He was at the height of his career. It was notable.
Nickelbacks, maybe?
Niners.............
Mel Brooks as Governor LePetomane got away with it in Blazing Saddles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQzI3k39Cfw
