By Wednesday morning, I was so upset I grabbed my laptop and reached for The Card. I was going to make this column all about the elephant in the room: In the biggest sporting event in the world, with a record number of people watching and on the game's most important play, a black defensive back outsmarted a beloved white quarterback.
Do you guys think the "black vs. white" aspect of this was necessary? I find it to be a bit overboard.

Not only was Tracy black but he was a black guy that had pac man carved in his head the week before.

How did I know that was a Whitlock article before I even clicked the link?

He should have just left it as "Tracy Porter intercepted Peyton Manning for the win". Thats all he needed to make this argument.

I've given up trying to read anything by that dude. He's a grade-A moron, I don't care what color he is.

Is there really anyone for whom such a line does not come across as just horribly distasteful, at best? That's what I don't get.

Yeah,no shite. Although I don't nessecarily totally disagree with this article.

Jason Whitlock writes about the sports world from every angle, including those other writers can't imagine or muster courage to address. His columns are humorous, thought-provoking, agenda free, honest and unpredictable.

Can you call yourself a journalist when your calling card is stirring the racial shite pot?
Posted on 2/12/10 at 11:38 am to LSUDropout
Agreed the racial storyline is totally unnecessary but a lot of other stuff in that article is pretty spot on.
quote:
These "Men In Peyton's Crack" first trampled Reggie Wayne's reputation, blaming the receiver for lazily telegraphing the route that led to Manning's game-deciding pick-six interception. The MIPC next resorted to diversionary tactics, blasting Pierre Garcon for dropping a second-quarter pass, Hank Baskett for failing to field an onside kick and Jim Caldwell for daring to ask his offense to run the ball on third-and-1 from deep inside Indy territory.
Finally, the director of the MIPC, Colts president/general manager Bill Polian, took the drastic step of throwing Manning's offensive line under the bus, claiming the unit that didn't allow a Super Bowl sack and opened running lanes that produced 5.2 yards per carry was "outplayed pretty decisively" by the Saints' defensive line.
Mission accomplished. Hardly anyone noticed -- or commented -- Manning duplicated LeBron James' sore-loser routine, walking off the field without congratulating any of his opponents.
quote:
What annoys me is the hype, the apologists, the he-does-no-wrong treatment from my peers in the media. It's the same thing that bothers me about LeBron James and used to bother me about Brett Favre. Based solely on potential, they're prematurely anointed a level of greatness their accomplishments haven't earned.
quote:
He blew the game with a horrible INT. He took some air out of his hype balloon. The Men In Peyton's Crack don't want to admit it. They foolishly compare Manning to John Elway, claiming that, like Elway early in his career, Manning suffers from a weak supporting cast. Manning's defenders have the audacity to say that Terrell Davis carried Elway to his two Super Bowl victories.

This is a little gem too.
quote:
Had John Lynch read Brett Favre like a book in Super Bowl XXXIII and decided the game with a fourth-quarter pick-six, there wouldn't have been any talk about a sloppy pass route, mistakes made in the first half and an onside kick that led to a three-point third-quarter lead. Favre was never hailed as the game's smartest player. Lynch, like most white athletes, was always given credit for being "heady."

Cris Carter trashed Wayne more than anyone. Last I checked, he is black.

you should all read the article instead of just agreeing. he makes a valid point really.

Do you think he has a valid point with the race stuff? I found that it was irrelevant to the rest of the article. I think he does have some valid points in there, but I found the race aspect of it to be unnecessary and tasteless.
