Do you need something extra on Hulu to watch the recording?

Wasn't what Limbaugh said laced with racist undertones?

Not what was saying or meant at all. I just think it's humorous/really fucking annoying when ESPN gives front page headlines/captions to the losing team. Fortunately, in this case, it didn't last long. Justin Houston got his rightful moment in the spotlight.

No, rush Limbaugh was fucking wrong. He said the NFL wants black quarterbacks to succeed.

He was wrong in both what he said and when he said it. Wtf?

I think CC was saying that Limbaugh was right that the NFL hypes black QBs more. I disagree. I think they hype the known commodity more and try to hype the new commodity to keep interest levels high.

Look at Baker Mayfield versus Mahomes. Sure, the NFL gives Mayfield credit and likes to hype him a bit, but with Mahomes or the QB in Baltimore, it's taken to a whole 'nother level because it caters to who they're trying to attract. None of this argument matters because it's all drowned out by the "that's racist! lalalalalala I can't hear this!" sentiment that some people prefer to fall back on.

Who are they trying to attract? Black people? Young people?

Mahomes won the mvp already in his second year. Mayfield has yet to do anything except be on the Browns. If you are good or look pretty good the NFL will hype you. Stars drive the game, especially QBs who you can’t even hit anymore. That’s why they are so flummoxed by this Colts team, they don’t know who to hype.

The NFL hypes success and potential along with good storylines for them and the league. They hype plenty of white guys too. It's not a racist thing. They hype whoever they can. Mahomes has been a fantastic young QB, so of course they are going to hype the kid up. ESPN and other media companies goes over the top on their side, because they like the drama along with it.

Mayfield has gotten more hype than he's deserved so far.

What Limbaugh said:

Quote:

"Sorry to say this, I don't think he's been that good from the get-go," Limbaugh
said. "I think what we've had here is a little social concern in
the NFL
. The media has been very desirous that a black quarterback
do well. There is a little hope invested in McNabb, and he got a
lot of credit for the performance of this team that he didn't
deserve. The defense carried this team."
Just for the record.

I think one of the problems with African American QB's is that they are usually very good overall athletes. They tend to abandon the pass and are able to run their way out of trouble. And they tend to leave the game plan and start relying on running rather than distributing the ball around the field.

I would also point out that's what Luck used to do and he suffered the fate of many a running QB, they get beat up and leave the game too early.

Now Mahomes is a different thing all together. He has great vision, and ridiculous arm and he tends to stay back and find a receiever before taking off. How he didn't become a short stop? Probably can't hit the curve.
