Seau says he was kidding with 'watermelon' remark (Let's See if this gets attacked like Rush!)

Dolphins linebacker Junior Seau insists he meant no harm when he suggested the way to stop former teammate LaDainian Tomlinson is to feed him fried chicken and watermelon.

Tomlinson, whose Chargers face the Dolphins on Monday night, could not immediately be reached for comment. The Dolphins had no immediate word on whether Seau would be disciplined for the remark.

I love fried chicken and watermelon. Can't get enough of the stuff. And I'm about as white as you can get. I think. Well, I mean my mom was white and my dad was white so I suppose that makes me white. Right? Anyway, I love, love! fried chicken and sadly watermelon is only good in July and August. Oh, I know you can get it all year in some places, but it really is only good in July and August. That opinion is from an expert I might add, me.

If you were a liberal, I might be able to give you a pass on the above narrative. Since you are a conservative, it is clear you are cleverly concealing a horrible racist slur in there somewhere.

Now if Junior Seau had suggested the way to stop a top white runner is to feed him quiche......

Would there have been any hassles?

Mmmm, my mouth is watering. Also a small restaurant chain in San Diego named 'Fins.' Incredibly, their fish tacos and shrimp burritos are even better than Rubio's.

< We'll habe to know what Seau's political orientation is, before we can react. If he's a conservative, we'll all be outraged and ask for his resignation. If he's a liberal, we'll all realize he was making a joke, clap him on the back, and have him campaign for Hillary >

Makes no difference to me. I don't even care "how" he meant it. I'm an equal opportunity free speecher.

Seau ought to concentrate on getting healthy and helping out our team.

He appears to be a Samoan, and I know from experience they are angry and racist.

30 some years ago, when I was a hippie, I was hitchhiking and 2 black gentlemen gave me a ride to my sister's house. She and her husband had just finished dinner, and were having watermelon.

She offered them some, and I had a fit cuz I thought they would be offended. How silly!!!

[Bombard]

DUMB!DUMB!DUMB!!!!

[commish]

Fried chicken, Black-Eye Peas, Collards,Fried Green Tomatoes, and Corn Bread!!! Washed down with Sweet Tea. NOW THAT's A MEAL!!!! Feel free to substitute Fried Catfish for the chicken, or just add it to the menu as you see fit!.

Then an RC Cola and a Moonpie for desert! YUM YUM

[Tall_Texan]

LT should tell him to stuff a coconut in his pie hole and put his grass skirt back on. That's how we handled things in the old days.

[Oschisms]

Some mc's be talkin' and talkin'
Tryin' to show how black people are walkin'
But I don't walk this way to portray
Or reinforce stereotypes of the day
Like all my brothas eat chicken and watermelon
Talk broken english and drug sellin'...

Don'cha know that only Whites can be racist?

[BurbankKarl]

"We'll have to know what Seau's political orientation is, before we can react."

Ditto!

Same here, and it may be time for a trip up to the Bay for a visit.

"hmm...this all made me think of Ezell's in Seattle. Are they still around?"

Yes.

[NonValueAdded]

[Seau is] also scheduled to host a luncheon honoring current San Diego quarterback Drew Brees for his charity work on Tuesday.

I wonder what the menu might be ... wouldn't that be a hoot?
