Amazing, congratulations. I can certainly imagine you on there. Sorry I missed it. I was out of my Jeopardy phase by '98.

Even if there are crass players in the NFL (Terrell Owens to name one) there is an intelligence to the game which in turn is draped on the players, too. There is a common feeling that a lot of NBA players (including whites) are thugs. So to me, it's not an issue of race. Unfortunately is becomes more an issue of where they are coming from, which is usually growing up in commutities that have a lot of poverty.<br /><br />As for question number two, in some ways I see it as a bid deal because it's two black head coaches in the Super Bowl. But I have been sort of a fan of Dungy and the Colts, so as for his side of it, it's more of a "he finally made it" type deal. I think in some ways a lot of fans don't see him as a black head coach, but just a head coach.<br /><br />One interesting thing of note, the CEO of the NAACP was nicely surprised when the Steelers hired Tomlin as head coach. Like me, he didn't realize he was black. If you hadn't seen a picture of him with the headlines and the first paragraph of an article, you would have never known. He liked the idea that it didn't make headlines because he was black.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16864454195347985218noreply@blogger.com
