rush would be taken to task for just about anything he could say, racial or not. it already happened once with ESPN. the second time would take less of a potentially offensive phrase to get the MSM's ire up, thanks to "past history."
Berman isn't going to be taken to task for this because this is part of his schtick. he makes up lame phrases and nicknames for 90% of the people in the sports world, white or black. He and tom jackson (a black former pro NFL player) used to sing a cab calloway song when a certain receiver for the NY Giants would score, a black man named calloway. would that be considered racist as well? Or how about when former NY Giant/NE Patriot Dave Meggett used to run back punts for long gains and he'd say "Look at that little Meggett run!!!" All potentially offensive to some.
Berman and Jackson seem like true friends, and I remember their corny "Heidi-heidi-heido-ho" Cab Calloway shtick.
But there's a huge difference between that and "feets do your duty." Again, I'm not by any means saying Berman is a racist. I don't think he is. My point was only to predict that he will skate on this one, whereas Rush would have been raked over the coals for saying the same thing.
