When did ESPN say it?
I can vividly remember during the CFB awards ceremony, and I'm sure I'm not going out on a limb saying there's been much more.
Herbstreit actually said it during this broadcast, but about an AU player. I hate when media people say it, it's so demeaning IMO.

I mean hell. I get it. When I'm watching a game and I hear a black football player for the 1st time and he speaks well, I aint gonna lie. I'm like, "well, aint that a nice change of pace".
But ya really can't keep doing that on national TV. It just comes off bad and for the individual black player, it's gotta be like, "WTF"? I mean, if I'm that kid I'm thinking, "I'm just me........why do I have to be the 'smart black guy'"?
