    yeah actually after researching, Jeter is 1 of 16 investors. Don't ask me about fractions either.

    But in the racial draft, the black delegation DID indeed acquire Derek Jeter as a full time member of the Black Delegation ...we got him for Sammy Sosa and some avocado toast.

    So let's assume the reason McDermott benched Taylor is that he is racist. Why did it take him until mid-November to realize Taylor was black?

    I think there used to be, especially with mobile QBs. Pocket passing was the way to go for a long time and I think a lot of coaches had no idea what to do with a guy who could scramble and run with the ball. Honestly, I feel a lot still don't.

    So you're saying only black QBs run and scramble with the ball? Seems racist. What about Asian QBs?

    I have to say this, but you get away with a lot, Chink...really? Your rampage against religions in particular JWs, even though you use a facade of Anti Christian verbiage at the end it revolves around your hate for JWs.

    Anyone else would have been banned by now. I'm all for your right to free speech but wow, you get away with some stuff.

    Oh, please, if you don't know satire when you see it, I can't help you out. You are free to report me. Can't say that I've ever done that, but do as you like and what you feel you are morally charged to do. I've had the most colorful upbringing in the world. Do you really think that 'All in the Family' or 'The Jeffersons' would ever be permitted today? In so many ways, we've gone backwards, not forward. You don't know anything about me, so don't even go there.

    I don't hate anyone. Except cults that harm people and people who diddle and abuse people and get away with covering it up. I don't even "hate" those people. They're much smarter than me. I used to think that Scientology was hilarious back in the day, now it just angers me. Not to going to derail. Good Day, Sir.

    Joe Montana was a famous Asian QB for all I could tell.

    And yeah, he could scramble. With that birdy-thin legs and all.

    Maybe the dumbest "sports" article ever written.
    How long has this guy been covering sports?? Teams make incredibly stupid decisions all the time. Has he ever heard of the Jets and Knicks?

    I hate to call Carron Phillips a racist, so I'll just assume he's an idiot.

    I'm not going to report you, it's not something I have done or will do. That's why I replied to you directly. As far as shows like All in the Family and the Jeffersons, they are lame compared to the garbage that is accepted as entertainment nowadays. The homos, same sex parenting, transgenders, kids not having their own bathrooms because no one can figure out what they are anymore.

    I can go on and on about the garbage that this society is but I don't, I simply make an attempt to live a simple and quiet life and keep my family protected as best I can. I have strong views just like you do but I don't blast anyone for what they do because at the end of the day I respect others right to live their lives how they want.

    Only reason why I even said anything to you is because of this being a forum and it's usually a spot that we, including yourself is disciplined with regards to how far we take our conversations.

    I won't derail it anymore and you have a good night as well.

    This is fucking Bryce Petty’s fault.

    Absolutely. It's all because Petty sucks.

    With Tyrod it had to do with his play the previous 2 games from what I can tell. But are we really going to think it's racist when the Bills make a stupid decision? They have been making stupid decisions for 20+ years.

    Warren Moon, Randall Cunningham, Mike Vick, Jeff Blake and Aaron Brooks both started for the Saints in one season and Brooks started the next 4 I believe. Should actually list Moon 4 times since he was the 1st black QB to start on each of 4 teams.

    Teams make money if their teams play well so they want to play the best players. I am sure there are some racist owners but I am thinking most favor green over any other color.

    You know. There is this QB named Doug Williams. I was told he was black, and he played for the Skins? Or something like that.

    I was also told that, he is the first black QB to win the SB.

    Yeah - NFL was established late in the 1800's, and the first black QB won the SB in fucking 1988. If this is not a racist league, I don't know what is.

    I'd say that reflects more on the fact that most of the USA was racist during a majority of that time frame :(

    I voted no. I see no reasoning in the article that suggests discrimination across the NFL as a whole, although the move to Peterson while still an outside chance to make playoffs with Taylor playing okay does make the Bills open to the question.

    If they had been further out of the chase it would make sense to see what they have in Peterson now as Taylor is unlikely to return next year due to his massive cap hit. Same is to be said for Alex Smith, and the move to Mahomes seems likely to be sooner rather than later.
