And Rush never SAID it had anything to do with his race. What Rush said that the "overrating" part had to do with the liberal writers' desire to have a black QB do well. To me, that is indisputable. They are desperate to have a black head coach take a team to a Super Bowl; to have a black owner; and to have exceptional black QBs to make the league appear "progressive."

At the time of Rush's comment, everyone was questioning McNabb's ability as QB. You can't be a white conservative and be openly critical of non-whites anymore: your motives will instantly be questioned. For the same reason that only blacks can use the 'n' word when addressing other blacks. To me affirmitive action is nothing more than legalized reverse-racism.

Anyone beside me remember Jefferson Street Joe, who was going to be the greatest QB ever?
Or the fact that Joe Willie and Snake Stabler were running QBs at Bama?
Or the great running QB James Street never played pro ball.
Should mobile athletic QBs become the norm, defenses will change to stop them.

Horsecrap! That was true back in the Doug Williams days. With McNair, Culpepper, Vick, et. al. playing, it's patently absurd to say that McNabb was overrated because liberal writers wanted to see a black QB do well. There're lots of black QB's doing well.
Not saying that sportswriters aren't PC. Hell, they're probably some of the most PC of the lot. But McNabb's being overrated had nothing to do with his race.
And Rush was an ass for injecting politics into a football pregame show to begin with. I don't want to hear about politics when I watch football. Rush came across like those odious lefties who want to politicize everything.
