Lol, hatred of Whitlock is something that crosses racial lines

He's a woman beater and a felon. I wouldnt take his word on anything.

He's a chump as well.

But it doesnt hurt that Lin is Asian.

FWIW, I do think he's right a little as far as the hype goes. That said, he's deserving of the coverage with his strong performance so far, but if he was black, I definitely don't think it'd be as huge as it is nationally. Big, yes, but it wouldn't be all over the place.

Lin scored more points in his first 4 or 5 starts than any player EVER in tNBA. The top list included MJ, Shaq, Wilt, Kareem, etc.....and Lin was at the very top.


And some of you idiots think he doesn't deserve the hype?

I honestly think it would be the same if he was any other race... what I quoted and it being the Knicks are bigger factors than his race

Mayweather is Money, but I also think he'd get his arse stomped out in BR, Stillwater, Tuscaloosa, Memphis, Starkville, or Columbia, SC.

But not Oxford, Fayetteville, or CoMo. Those places are pretty full of pussies that talk more than throw down.

Mayweather ducking Pacquaio removes his credibility to talk about anything.

Highly unlikely unless those towns are hiding world class boxers.

He's 5-7 150lbs. 160 after a prefight calorie load.

Roger Huerta would probably destroy Mayweather in a street fight.

Not sure how many bar fights you've been in or seen, but they aren't 10 rounds of dinking and dunking throwing jabs. Usually you get a few punches and somebody gets into the body and there's some sort of wrap up and if one of the dude's is a punk a few kicks while the other guy is down.

I think Mayweather would get destroyed in a dust up on a packed dance floor.

What a crock. Lin is getting hype b/c he is an undrafted free agent who has bounced around several teams and suddenly started playing like n allstar for a team in NYC.

Didn't Rush Limbaugh get fired for saying something along these lines?

Except Rush was being complimentary to McNabb in his comments.

I expect endorsements to be pulled immediately.

"I don't think he's been that good from the get-go" and "he got credit he didn't deserve" is a compliment?

Floyd doesn't have any endorsements to begin with.

Not a single player in NBA history scored more points in their first 4 starts.

Not Jordan. Not Bird. Nobody.

Sorry Mayweather, it's fricking newsworthy.

Not even close to being the same thing. I'm pretty conservative but Rush Limbaugh is a real life troll and gives it a bad name. /rant

Jeremy Lin has scored more point in his first 4 starts than anyone in history. No it's not because he's asian.
