Racist or Not Racist?


"I would never let a white boy beat me. I couldn't go back to the projects if I let a white boy beat me." Bernard Hopkins via Fanhouse

This is what Bernard Hopkins said in regards to his fight with Welshman Joe Calzaghe on April 19th. Seems a little controversial to me but we shall give the man an opportunity to explain. So this week Hopkins got the opportunity to clarify his previous statements. What he basically ended up saying is he's not a racist but losing to a white fighter would be unacceptable. So, pretty much he clarified nothing.

Flip the switch, if one of the Klitschko brothers said he ain't never gonna lose to a black fighter cause his Russian comrades would find it unacceptable. Wouldn't that be perceived as racist? So isn't this?

Blacks can refer to whites as "white boys" but white people can't refer to blacks as niggers, even though black people refer to themselves and other blacks as such.

Never ceases to amaze me why people seemed so worried about words. Sticks and Stones...didn't anybody learn that one?

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big...

Ranking the New York Jets Historical Helmets

There's no way you can't go with the Helmet they won the Super Bowl in. You just can't. Next, I really don't understand why they don't where the helmet with the Jet as their throwback uniforms. That helmet is awesome. Then I'm going with the Helmets from the 80s because it's the classic feel and the white face mask is 10 times better than the black one. And the rankings continue until you get to... The Titans Helmet. I hate everything about those Titan uniforms. The Helmets are boring and the colors are GOD awful. Navy blue and Mustard? What the hell is that. Disgusting. If they wore those unis when I was a kid I'd probably be a Giant fan, and be much happier with my life in football.
