Quincy had had his ego stomped on hard. It must have meant a lot to him when Coach picked him as the man. So far he has done good.

"Or is that the Burgundy & Gold side?"

How about the silver and blue side, 3-1 and 1st place in the NFC East Woohoo!
Not to mention our UNDERRATED black QB!

[Salman]

I wonder what proportion of football fans are conservative? I'm not much of a fan myeslf, but the libs I've known have tended to be outright contemptuous of sports in general.

[Skooz]

Come over to the Dark Side! Or is that the Burgundy & Gold side? Dan Snyder is waiting...

You know, it isn't too late to jump on the Chief's bandwagon......

[Timesink]

Why don't they just change their name to the Philadelphia Racebaiters and get it over with.

[Dead Dog]

Jeffrey should just get it over with and by a soccer team, the homo.

It's okay to repeat info now and again. I don't recall seeing the headline earlier.

Libs are such narrow-minded bigots.

I think that the NFL and Crudwiser are going to be bigger losers than Davis and mr. MeCHA bustyourkneecaps.

"Limbaugh was a mean-spirited, liberal-bashing, feminist-bashing, gay-bashing, minority-bashing blowhard who spent a great deal of energy ripping everyone who doesn't look or think like him. -Bryan Burwell"

Obviously, Mr. Burwell has never listened to Rush 'cuz Limbaugh is nothing like the cretin he describes...oh well, can't let the truth get in the way of a good Leftist rant, can we?!

SHEEEESH...MUD

Jeff Lurie, the Philadelphia owner, made his money as a Hollywood producer. That explains his worldview.

My understanding is that he was actually a flop in Hollyweird.
His money was inherited. Grandpa owned a string of theaters around Boston.

We take it for granted that people who enjoy the NFL are, take them as they run, fans of particular teams first and then of the league. So if you are a Packers fan, for example, who is surprised that you think their quarterback is the best? You want him to be the best, and he has won quite a few games, so--it doesn't make you a racist if you are rooting for a particular white quarterback.

But when Rush says that people are wanting a star black quarterback, what does that really mean? One thing it means is that whites as well as blacks--and conservatives as well as liberals--want a black to do well at QB. And I put it to you that that is the most controversial aspect of Rush's statement because to accept that conservative whites can and do pull for blacks (as being, for whatever reason, underdogs in trying to play pro quarterback) is to admit that race hustling is race hustling.

The other thing, the NFL is on record as wanting black head coaches. What does it mean, if blacks excell far out of proportion to their numbers in all other positions on the football field except the one position requiring the least physical abilility to run and/or push someone around? I put it to you that a Michael Vick or a Kordell Stuart could play wide receiver--and when they are in a jam at the quarterback position they exploit that physical ability as the situation requires. McNabb could maybe play fullback, and he exploits that physical ability as the situation requires. So all of them modify the job description of QB when they play that position.

If what you are really after someone who pulls the game out mostly by his wits and legedermain, you really want the pure pocket-passer quarterback. You don't, in your heart of hearts, want a black John Elway--you actually want a black Peyton Manning. And, truth be told, you want a continual stream of them just like the continual stream of black running backs, wide receivers, and linemen--and linebackers, etc.

Jeff Lurie, If I am not mistaken, hails from the Santa
Monica (aka Soviet Monica) area of SoCal. Therefore, his
fragmented opinions should surprise no one, but he should
pay more attention to his failing and underachieving
football team!

Your understanding is correct...I am sure. I always saw him billed as "Hollywood producer", not "movie theater heir" Being unfamiliar with the inner business of Hollywood, I assumed he made money enough money on his own to buy contolling interest in am NFL franchise.

He still is a product of that peculiar Hollyweird culture.

Obviously you don't care, enough to check whether there were 4 existing threads on this stale subject. Get a life? No, get a clue about FR policies. A week-old article is not to be placed in Breaking News. Admin Moderators have been very busy having to remove old news, vanities and other stuff from the Breaking area to keep it clear for truly new items during this very busy time. Your item has been reloated too. They are busy enough managing this fast-growing site..why make more work for them?

[montag813]

My apologies for ranting on you (despite your rude answer). You did not post this article.
