Sports Talk Entry Number One

Fisher Deberry was right...

for those of you that don't know, Fisher Deberry is the head football coach at Air Force. In his weekly press conference, he made a comment about needing to recruit more black athletes to enhance his team's speed and therefore their chance to win. well, of course, all hell broke loose and accusations were made that they were racist comments. were they??? give me a break. he was not inflammatory with his comments. he just said what we all know and think when we are watching a game. black guys tend to be faster, predominantly, than white guys. a case in point...since jason sehorn, how many white guys have started a game at cornerback in the nfl? my guess is zero, although i don't have the facts to back that up. how many white guys that don't play for the rams in the nfl are not labeled as "possession receivers"? meaning, they are slow as crap but run good routes. probably because they are slow as crap and it's easier to make a cut when you run a 4.87 compared to a 4.4. we are so quick to freakin' judge. how many of you or your parents hold the high and mighty "Bear" Bryant in the highest of regards? Well, after (black) USC running back Sam Cunningham ran all over Alabama's ass (in a Rose Bowl i think), the "Bear" was quoted as saying, "I gotta get me one of them." in that mumbled voice of his. since he was in the south and he won games, no one jumped on him for making the insensitive comment of the year, if not his career. Fisher Deberry is right. if you will kindly make a left toward the stable, i can direct all of you hypocrites to where you can get off your high horse!!!
