In the early years of black QB'ing, I could certainly understand the fascination that the media had with this (for then) unusual situation. For years (and I guess it still happens occasionally) all the black QBs out of college were drafted and turned into running backs, recievers of guys in the secondary. Not any more.
The press should have stopped this differentiation by now.
And ping for King.

I checked. The other post didn't have "the" in the title.

As someone who has coached and someone who is a fan, I want the best team possible on the field. The team with the right mix of talent, work ethic, and chemistry.
I don't give a damn about color.

Sure, it's easy for Moon to say that, he's not black.
Warren just happens to be a hard working, determined man, with fantastic athletic and mental abilities.

Black conservative ping
If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)
Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

Warren Moon isn't black?Could have fooled me.
He dated a lot of blondes in Houston. Also got into some trouble over wife abuse. But that isn't a black/white issue.

I simply meant I see no blackness in looking at Warren Moon.
I see excellence.
Much like Justice Thomas, Condoleezza Rice , Colin Powell, Jackie Robinson ect.etc.
Not like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Muhammad Ali , Louis Farrakhan etc. etc.

"Briscoe, now 59, is the perfect of example of why this story is worth telling and repeating."
Look carefully at the sentence above and ask the question, "Should Rush Limbaugh have directed his fire at the editors of the Inquirer rather than at Cunningham?"

I heard about those problems...
As you state, happens to all types...
Now, if there is a question of blackness, we have to bring up Franco Harris, Derek Jeter, and Rick(Ulrich Alexander) Fox....
There is also that young lady who plays tennis very well... The daughter of Dr. J and some journalist...
But Warren Moon, definitely black...
From a character standpoint, I can only speculate...

"

I admit, as I was posting that, I felt I was going to be misunderstood, but thought the second paragraph would indicate my meaning.
As usual I was wrong to "assume".
I am glad to know that you knew that I knew.
What the heck did I just say?

Truth is... That would have been much preferred and he might still be on that show... Making it personal to someone who has done nothing but try to play the game and do his job was not a good decision... Sometimes, a little disclaimer goes a long way in covering one's backside...
