There are a lot of Nor'Easters who remember his BC days and claim that he was an amazing NFL quarterback who just never got his shot. They're rather scary people.

His coach was Wade Phillips though so, well, Wade Phillips.

You'll be able to watch Phillips in the playoffs after the Giants have ended their season.

Oops... he did start all 16 games for the Chargers in 2001. Led them to a 5-11 record, throwin 15 TD's to 18 INT's. He was clearly just an interim QB as the Chargers had just cut Leaf and were developing the rookie Drew Brees.

Whatever you think, Solomwi. I'm not too concerned with appeasing you.

That was posted for your betterment, not my appeasement.

[SlowwHand]

Arrogant little bastard, aren't you? I never noticed that before.

I think Sloww has beef with lawyers!

[SlowwHand]

That's right, he's one of "them". That explains it.

I don't have to be arrogant to be altruistic. You made a racist argument, behind the "it's not racist, it's fact" veil, to boot. I don't really think you're a racist at heart, so I pointed it out, giving you the chance to recognize the racism of the argument and, maybe, decide there's a better way to make the same point. What you do with that opportunity is up to you.

If I made the observation that there are few Black catchers in baseball, that's all it is. An observation. If I said that there were few Black catchers because they can't squat down due to their bubble butts, that might be racist. So stuff your holier than thou attitude.

If anything, large glutes would be advantageous for a catcher!

[SlowwHand]

Not if they can't squat. Again, this is merely hypothetical discussion. It doesn't matter if catchers are Black or not.
I think it's funny how some people get so wound up. How many Black skiers are there. Snow or water? Parachutists? Mountain climbers? Tiger tamers? Rodeo riders?
Is that really negative, or rather, is it a recognition of common sense? So blow me, Solomwi.

[Al B. Sure!]

For Sloww and anyone else who appreciates comedy... a relevant skit:

Oh yeah found this with regards to our earlier discussion in one of these threads:

[Solomwi]

Relax, Tex, nobody's wound up here except maybe you. I'm, if anything, amused at your attempts to whitewash (no pun intended) your original argument. Take a really close look at your example and try to figure out which end your McNabb argument is more like (hint: it's not the "just an observation" end).
