RUSH: You know, I knew this was gonna happen, folks. I didn't know how, where, when, but I knew this was gonna rear its head. Let's go to audio sound bite number two. This is from Inside the NFL on Showtime last night. It used to be on HBO. They canceled it; Showtime picked it up, CBS on Showtime. Phil Simms was speaking with the Jets wide receiver Brandon Marshall about Deflategate and Tom Brady, and the suspension being overturned by a judge. Phil Simms says to Brandon Marshall, "Players, I'm sure, were conflicted. They didn't know whether they were happy that Goodell, the big, bad guy was taken down by the judge or... I mean, they didn't know how to react to this, Brandon. What was your thought on it?"
MARSHALL: The race card. There are a lot of players -- and I think you were going to that. There are a lot of players out there that believe that white players, specifically the -- at the quarterback position are treated differently.
ESIASON: So you're telling me that there are players out...? I don't know if you believe this -- that there are players out there that if this were Cam Newton, that his suspension would be upheld and he would be there because the judge would see Cam Newton differently because of color of his skin?
MARSHALL: Well, when you look back at the history of this sport, you can build a case on that. Yes.
RUSH: Holy smokes. I remember they asked some guy that used to work for 'em at ESPN to clear out the desk when talking about the media being concerned about the race of quarterbacks came up! Everyone said, "Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh, God! Oh, God! You can't talk about race! Please resign. Oh, my God!" Now you have a player going on Inside the NFL claiming that Brady got off 'cause he was white. That was Boomer Esiason asking Brandon Marshall, "Are you telling me if it's Cam Newton..."
He's the quarterback of Carolina Panthers.
"Are you telling me that if Cam Newton was there case was before the judge, that he'd a been found guilty?"
"Well, yeah! You look at history of the sport and you can build a case on that. Yeah." Man, oh, man! What was that, 2005? Talk about prescience. This is exactly what I mean when I tell you that I am on the cutting edge of societal evolution. So now they're having a serious discussion about it. They're not running for the tall grass. They're not doing anything. I just want to take you back to May 8 of this year on this program. It's audio sound bite number one.
RUSH ARCHIVE: There's a racial component here, too, that nobody's talking about. Do not doubt that. Seventy-some-odd percent of the players in this league are African-American, and a disproportionate percentage of them are the ones that get punished.
RUSH: Obviously so. I mean, they're gonna mete out punishment, 71% of the players are black, and a large number of them penalized. It's obviously true. It works out algorithmically, geometrically, trigonometry, works in any which way math you try it here. So there I was back in May. You wait. Here comes Brandon Marshall. Now there's more and more stories in the Drive-By Media saying, "Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute! Brady wasn't exonerated here."
It's something else that I told you, and this is all over the media today. I told you from the moment this started that what was driving it was Spygate and the fact that a bunch of owners thought the Patriots were not punished enough for that. And now an unnamed owner has actually admitted that. An unnamed owner has said it on one of the NBC sports-talk websites. In Spygate you had Mangini, the coach of the Jets, reveal that the Patriots did it; the punishment came in four days. And all the evidence was thrown out.
And Belichick, the coach of the Patriots, was fined $500,000, and there's some other penalties as well. And there were a lot of people saying, "Wait a minute! This didn't go on nearly long enough." But here's what I didn't know that is alleged in the story I read today. Apparently there was a press conference at the end of this when the solution was announced, Goodell and Belichick. I don't know if it was joint. But when Goodell finished, Belichick was then supposed to go to the microphone and say he was sorry and, in a way, admit what had happened.
He didn't. When he went to the mic, as in this story I read today, it's alleged that Belichick... Well, we'll find out if it happened or not. They said that Belichick went to the microphone and did his usual thing. "We're on to San Diego. We got a game against the San Diego Chargers Sunday night and that's where we're focused." He didn't apologize, and apparently it's reported Goodell was seething that Belichick did not apologize as he had promised to do.
And that is said to have set up this whole thing. And the last point of this is, according to another unnamed source, one of them an owner, that Goodell is in a stronger position with the owners now than he was because he hung tough on this. Because apparently there is a tremendous animus against the Patriots, and Goodell is getting credit from the other owners for hanging in there and trying to get to the bottom of something.
Because the fact that 68% of NFL players are black proves the NFL is racist.
So I guess Lebron James gets treated so well cuz he’s black
The guy is married to a supermodel...ofcourse thats why he was treated differently! How many men are married to such women??!!
He was treated differently because he’s won more super bowls.
Actually, he was treated the same as O.J. It didn’t fit, so they had to acquit.
And he’s not only married to a super model, but a super model who is worth more than $300 million!
Waaaaaahhhh!!!!!!! I don’t get paid enough millions for playing a game we used to play in gym class. It’s because I’m blaaaaaaaccccckkkk! I should join up with Black wives are fatter or Black lies matter or what’s it called again?
And....wasn’t he having an affair with her while he was married to his first wife? Yeah....this behavior is rewarded, too. Geeze...
does this jock remember Micheal Jordan and his "rules"...and those "rules" still apply to most black basketball players....go really fast to the basket and you never get called for taking 4-5 steps...
seems to me black athletes get special treatment...instead of attending class and passing tests, they skip class, take basketweaving, or have their grades "fixed" by the special sauce given liberally to black athletes....
a white player would never get away with the crap talk or the crap walk some black players get away with....
I'm so tired of their schtick...
See, its not about race its about Giselle!
By the way... running backs and receivers benefit from a slightly under-inflated ball. Brady isn’t the only guy in the locker room with a motive to let a bit of air out of the ball.
According to the tabloids, Brady split from a girlfriend not wife. Girlfriend got knocked up. Not sure if he met current wife while with ex baby mama.
Let look at it reverse.. let look at what the NFL handed down as punishment.(four games and a fine)..and let look what a black play did to earn similar or less... bet it was nothing as trivial as deflating a ball
Truth is the whole deflategate is a big nothing.. a joke ...to me....
And if in had been been a black guy getting the same punishment for the same joke of a " crime".....it would have been called one of the most racist railroading in the history of sports...Brady being white just remove the racist.. so it just a railroading
Because drowning dogs is exactly the same as letting air out of footballs.
I am not on Brady’s side on this, but this statement is bunk. First, Adrian Peterson just won his case, and last I checked, he’s not whitey.
It was a JUDGE in a Court of Law who made the decision, you moron, not the NFL.
Actually, Tom Brady was treated differently because he’s Tom Brady. :-D
Aaaah,the race card.
Tiring.

Thanks for the clarification!!
