Re: ARTICLE - MANNING EXCUSES & SPORTSMANSHIP

The next smart thing Jason Whitlock says will be the first smart thing he says.

He gets by, by selling shock. He's what sports journalism would look like if Glen Beck did sports. They don't get jobs by offering anything thought provoking, they just shock people with extreme views and let the readers/listeners talk about them because of how angry it makes them.

He'd probably tell you he's just keeping it real and callinem-likes-he-sees-them but the reality is that he's not going to get an audience by being intelligent, insightful or thought provoking. This is the only way they can get by.

And probably an unimportant detail to this guy, but that was all Reggie Waynes fault. Peyton like most players call out their mistakes, and all Peyton could do is say that Porter made a great play on the ball. If anything he was all class by just focusing on Porter and not talking about how Reggie just sat there and didn't bother to get in Porters way.

I suppose Peyton got gator arms on the goal line on in the last minute as well.

Yeah, I certainly didn't see it as a racial issue. He lost all credibility when he through that in there. It was a great play by Tracy Porter, to throw race in there does a great disservice to that fact, IMHO.

Just because someone has access to the internets and a keyboard, click, click, don't make em' a rocket scientist. This douchebag clearly proves that theory to be fact.

What a moron. Goodness gracious I had no idea a Super Bowl victory brought out such roaches. Someone turn the light on.

Re: ARTICLE - MANNING EXCUSES & SPORTSMANSHIP

It's surprising that a Fox analyst would bring up race in defending Tracy Porter. He will be fired for this. Not that it is wrong either in principle or policy, but I don't think that race had anything to do with Porter's interception, just like I don't think race has anything to do with making good pizza.

Otherwise there's not much objectionable or novel in his analysis. I could have clipped my toenails, but I read this instead. My loss.

Sorry XAN, but he won't get fired for this. This is a typical article from him. This is what Jason Whitlock does. When he posts another article next week, it will be the same racial thing, just a different article. He has a terrible chip on his shoulder for some reason, and he shows it in every article he writes.

Maybe he's Fox's token guy who speaks up for inequalities in racial perception, real or imagined. Gives the network a human-like quality where none exists?
