(Opinion) Lakers/New Orleans/Chris Paul situation black eye for the NBA

At a time when anticipation and excitement should be about the return of the NBA season & training camps opening today, the focus is instead on the NBA putting a stop to the Lakers/Chris Paul deal. If this deal doesn't go through, there will be a big black cloud (of conspiracy) hanging over the NBA for the rest of the season. Why David Stern would put himself & the league in this situation because of pressure from rival team owners, boggles the mind.

This is a case of big market/small market paranoia gone wrong & an example of why there should never be a league owned team. This was actually a pretty good deal for the Hornets & they would be hard pressed to find a better one. "The proposed trade would have sent Paul to the Lakers, Pau Gasol to the Rockets and furnished New Orleans with three top-flight NBA players in Kevin Martin, Luis Scola and Lamar Odom as well as playoff-tested guard Goran Dragic and a 2012 first-round pick that Houston had acquired from the Knicks." via espn.com. I'm hoping everybody involved comes to their senses & they resolve this debacle asap.

(News) @DwightHoward to ask Orlando Magic for trade to New Jersey Nets

Of all the deals that have been rumored involving Dwight Howard & the Orlando Magic, I thought the New Jersey Nets offer of Brook Lopez and two first-round draft picks was the best one on the table. To go along with that, the Nets are willing to take on Turkoglu's remaining three year, $34 million contract. Today espn.com is reporting "Dwight Howard will ask the Orlando Magic to trade him to the New Jersey Nets, and a deal could go down as soon as Friday, sources close to the situation said.".

Donovan McNabb Shuffles Loose His Mortal Coil

The news came across the wire last week that Donovan McNabb was traded to the Washington Redskins, for the 32nd pick in the 2nd round of this year's NFL draft, and a third or fourth round pick next year.    This means that Donovan will be the starting quarterback of the Washington Redskins, with Jason Campbell backing him up (if he's not traded), and leaving the Philadelphia Eagles with Kevin Kolb as the starting QB and Michael Vick slotted in as the backup.

And I couldn't be happier.

Mind you, I'm not a fan of either team.  While my father is a big Redskins fan, I'm a fan of the Patriots.   Neither of these teams are competitors of my team or rivals or anything.    That said, I have been a fan of McNabb for many years.  I think he embodies what you want as a franchise QB.  He's a very good to great quarterback, and as a person he's a wonderful asset to any team's locker room.   And I'm ecstatic that he's finally shuffled loose his mortal coil that is the Philadelphia Eagles fans.

Ever since he was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles back in 1999 as the second overall pick, he has been unappreciated and flat out disrespected by the fans, who actually booed him at the NFL Draft since they all wanted Texas running back Ricky Williams.

How'd Ricky's career turn out, huh?

McNabb faced down boos, and derisive comments from the very fans who you would expect to support him, and what had he done for the Eagles?   Well, all he did was help give the Eagles fans four straight NFC East Conference Championships, helped take them to five NFC title games, and a Super Bowl appearance against the New England Patriots, the entire time rarely having anyone closely resembling a top shelf wide receiver.

McNabb set Eagles records for the most passing yards, most passing touchdowns, most single season completions, most single season yards, and most NFC championship appearances.

He has also set numerous NFL records including the fact that he is the LEAST intercepted QB (per pass attempts) of all time, and is one of only six QB's in NFL history to have over 25,000 passing yards and 3000 rushing yards, having the second best touchdown to interception ratio of all time (behind Tom Brady) and currently has the third highest winning percentage among active QB's (behind Peyton Manning and Tom Brady).

And in the face of all that, they boo McNabb mercilessly, and show him an astounding lack of respect or appreciation.

It's things like this that led me to realize that the Eagles fans don't deserve to have a future Hall of Fame QB like Donovan McNabb.   McNabb is too good for them.  They deserve to have Kevin freaking Kolb as their QB.   They deserve to have some no-name QB who has barely had a cup of coffee in the NFL take over their team, with only Michael Vick, who is just getting his NFL career back as their backup.

And to be clear, all the Eagles fans aren't like that.   There are some very good fans out there who are respectful and who are able to see things for how they are.  Unfortunately those rational fans are the minority in Philly.  The fans there are known as the "Philly Boo Birds" for a reason.

They booed Santa Clause, and cheered Michael Irvin's scary injury in which he was carried off the field on a stretcher with a neckbrace on.

The latest act of civic embarrassment unfolded during the Philadelphia  Eagles' 13-10 victory over the Cowboys.
The 33-year-old Irvin landed awkwardly on his head after catching a  pass from Troy  Aikman in the first quarter. He lay motionless on the artificial  turf for nearly 20 minutes while medical staff attended to him.
Many fans in the crowd of 66,669 cheered when they realized Irvin  was hurt, and again when paramedics wheeled a stretcher onto the field.  Many also cheered respectfully when he was placed in an ambulance, but  the damage was done.
"Some people need to grow up and find some inner peace, because  there is no peace in watching somebody suffer," said Irvin's teammate, Emmitt  Smith.
"This, in terms of bad taste, was as bad as it gets," said Mayor  Edward Rendell, an avid sports fan.

I'm not saying you have to approve of every mistake a QB makes or anything, but at a certain point you need to know when to sit down and shut up and appreciate just what a great player you have.  Excuse me, HAD.  As in PAST TENSE.

Now the Washington Redskins have McNabb, and ironically enough, they don't exactly have world beaters as their wide receivers, which is always the thing that McNabb supporters point out about his time in Philly.

The Redskins need to address several points of concern in the NFL draft this year.  They need to get a solid WR or two, and definitely improve their offensive line.    They have three average to really good running backs now with Willie Parker, Clinton Portis and Larry Johnson, so if they can add a couple decent options at wide receiver, that could help McNabb a lot.

I wish Donovan McNabb all the luck in the world, and I hope they meet up and just throttle the Eagles in Philly.  Then maybe the Eagles fans will start to realize just who they ran out of town.

Very well done trailer, and simply a great video.

(News) Rush Limbaugh dropped from Group to buy The Rams

Apparantly Dave Checketts, the owner of the St. Louis Hockey team, dropped Limbaugh from his investment group, because of the controversy.

Good day everyone! Good day!

Here's a great video summarizing everything going on in this situation. Bout 20 minutes, but well worth it.

Rush Limbaugh: A Color Man Who Has a Problem With Color?

Rush Limbaugh wants to buy into the NFL's St. Louis Rams football team, however he's receiving some backlash from not only some African American players, due to his racebaiting rhetoric, but also from some owners, and even the commissioner Roger Goodell.

While listening to sports radio tonight, I heard the sports talk host, JT The Brick (A Republican) on Fox Sports Radio, repeatedly say that this was about the comments "in the past" about Donovan McNabb. I contend that while those comments about McNabb being overhyped because the media wanted a black quarterback to succeed most definitely factor in, it's not just those.

Limbaugh has a long and storied history of race related and racist comments about virtually any and all prominent African American politician, and generic racist comments. This is the man who played the song "Barack the Magic Negro" (sung to the tune of Puff The Magic Dragon) on his show, and doesn't understand why that's offensive.

He's referred to Barack Obama as a "Halfrican American" and insisted that he's not Black, but that he's "Arab" because Kenya is an Arab area.

The below article was written back in 2000, when he was auditioning for the role on NFL Countdown on ESPN, the show in which he made those illfated comments about Donovan McNabb. I think this is a great article that highlights JUST the extent of his fear mongering and his racist comments.

In my opinion he doesn't need to be in the NFL and he should not be in there. He has every right to APPLY to be in the NFL. This is America and he's well within his rights to go for it. However the NFL, a private organization, has the right to tell him to kick rocks, in no uncertain terms.

Limbaugh A Color Man Who Has a Problem With Color?

By Jeff Cohen and Steve Rendall

Talk radio host Rush Limbaugh may be returning to television. He recently auditioned for a job as color commentator on ABC's Monday Night Football. The tryout followed weeks of self-promotion by the self-styled "truth detector" to the millions who listen daily to his syndicated radio show on some 600 stations.


Limbaugh's audition is stirring controversy. Sports columnist Thomas Boswell quipped that if Limbaugh joins Monday Night Football, then baseball's game of the week broadcasters might "team up with John Rocker."


Veteran sports writer Michael Wilbon, who is black, indicated a boycott might result: "If Rush Limbaugh is put in that booth, I will NOT listen to the broadcast," he wrote in a Washington Post chat session. "His views on people like me are well documented and I would find it insulting and hypocritical to watch him…There are tens of thousands, probably hundreds of thousands who feel the same way I do."


If ABC hires Limbaugh, it's not clear a boycott will materialize. What is clear is that his expressed views on racial matters -- from the spiteful to the sophomoric -- would make him an odd color commentator. Indeed, CBS Sports dismissed Jimmy the Greek Snyder for ignorant racial remarks less derisive than some of Limbaugh's.


As a young broadcaster in the 1970s, Limbaugh once told a black caller: "Take that bone out of your nose and call me back." A decade ago, after becoming nationally syndicated, he mused on the air: "Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?"

In 1992, on his now-defunct TV show, Limbaugh expressed his ire when Spike Lee urged that black schoolchildren get off from school to see his film Malcolm X: "Spike, if you're going to do that, let's complete the education experience. You should tell them that they should loot the theater, and then blow it up on their way out."

In a similar vein, here is Limbaugh's mocking take on the NAACP, a group with a 90-year commitment to nonviolence: "The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies."

When Carol Moseley-Braun (D-IL) was in the U.S. Senate, the first black woman ever elected to that body, Limbaugh would play the "Movin' On Up" theme song from TV's Jeffersons when he mentioned her.

Limbaugh sometimes still uses mock dialect -- substituting "ax" for "ask"-- when discussing black leaders. Such quotes and antics -- many compiled by Fairness & Accuracy In Reporting (FAIR) for our 1995 book -- offer a whiff of Limbaugh's racial sensibility.

So does his claim that racism in America "is fueled primarily by the rantings and ravings" of people like Jesse Jackson. Or his ugly reference two years ago to the father of Madonna's first child, a Latino, as "a gang member-type guy" -- an individual with no gang background.

In 1994, Limbaugh mocked St. Louis for building a rail line to East St. Louis "where nobody goes." East St. Louis is home to roughly 40,000 residents -- 98 percent of whom are African-Americans. One of its 40,000 "nobodies" is star NFL linebacker Bryan Cox.

Once, in response to a caller arguing that black people need to be heard, Limbaugh responded: "They are 12 percent of the population. Who the hell cares?" That's not an unusual response for a talk radio host playing to an audience of "angry white males." It may not play so well among National Football League players, 70 percent of whom are African American.

Compared to some talk radio hosts, racism is not central to Rush Limbaugh's shtick. But there has been a pattern of commentary indicating his willingness to exploit prejudice against blacks to further his on-air arguments.

ABC has the right to hire Limbaugh, even at the risk of alienating members of its audience. (Monday Night Football is the second-most-watched TV show in black households). Thrust into the world of pro football where Limbaugh himself would be something of a racial minority, is it possible that he'd rise above his history of racial bigotry and insensitivity? Not likely.

When all is said and done, the athletes are the key players on Monday Night Football. It would be great to know how they'd feel about a color man who seems to have trouble with people of color.

Black NFL players would not play for Rush Limbaugh

There's a television series that I watch called "Little Mosque on the Prairie" and it's based out of Canada. The show is about a Muslim community in a small fictional Canadian town called Mercy. There's a character in the show named "Fred Tupper" and he's OBVIOUSLY based on Limbaugh. He's a right wing radio host who goes off on a tangent about all things Muslim. He has "Mad at Muslims Monday" and other such segments, in which he mocks and ridicules and declares "Dangerous" anything that has to do with the Muslim Community.



But he's not REALLY like that. He does it for ratings. In actuality, Fred Tupper has no problems with the Muslims, and in fact harbors a secret crush on Fatima, who runs the Muslim owned diner.

When he's asked about the fact that he rails against Muslims on the show, but seems to enjoy being around them, he admits that he does it for ratings. He admits that he's a bit confused by some of the rituals and traditions in the Muslim world, but he doesn't really have a problem with them. It's because that's what his audience expects from him. And it keeps the money coming in via sponsors.

The difference between Fred Tupper and Rush Limbaugh though, is that Limbaugh is much more vicious than Tupper. Tupper's a caricature of the more dangerous Limbaugh. I have no idea whether or not Limbaugh actually believes all the bullshit he spews on his show. And I don't think it really matters.



Well, ever since the news came out that Rush Limbaugh was in talks with another investor to buy the St. Louis Rams, the opinions have been fast and furious. Now several black athletes have come out on the record and stated that they would refuse to play for any team that Limbaugh purchased. After the history of racist remarks by Limbaugh, it's not really a surprise, I don't think. At least it shouldn't be.

via Think Progress:

“All I know is from the last comment I heard, he said in (President) Obama’s America, white kids are getting beat up on the bus while black kids are chanting ‘right on,’” New York Giants defensive end Mathias Kiwanuka told the New York Daily News, adding, “I don’t want anything to do with a team that he has any part of.” Other black players expressed similar sentiments:

[New York Jets linebacker Bart] Scott says players remember what Limbaugh said [about Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donavan McNabb], and adds that the NFL would be wise not to allow the nationally syndicated host into the league.

“It’s an oxymoron that he criticized Donovan McNabb,” Scott said. “A lot of us took it as more of a racial-type thing. I can only imagine how his players would feel. I know I wouldn’t want to play for him. He’s a jerk. He’s an —. What he said (about McNabb) was inappropriate and insensitive, totally off-base. He could offer me whatever he wanted, I wouldn’t play for him. … I wouldn’t play for Rush Limbaugh. My principles are greater and I can’t be bought.”

Rush Limbaugh has a history of making questionable comments at best, involving the subject of race, most recently involving President Obama. Think Progress as a "lowlights" of some of his most recent comments:

– “Look, let me put it to you this way: The NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it.”

– “We need segregated buses. … This is Obama’s America.”

– “President Obama is black. And I think he’s got a chip on his shoulder.”

– Democrats are interested in Darfur to secure black “voting bloc.”

– “Minorities never do anything for which they have to apologize.”

– Obama’s nomination for president “goes back to the fact that nobody had the guts to stand up and say no to a black guy.”

– Obama is a “halfrican-American.”
