Don't lie You missed the second half of the Colts Bucs game last night, a game for the ages that ended after Midnight, EDT. I missed it because I have to get up early on the coast. It's time that the genius intellects at ABC moved the start time up one hour. NOBODY caught the end. Sponsors paid for an audience that was asleep. Add on McNabb from emails regarding QB ratings being a bunch of crap. Same old arguments, if blacks don't do well change the test. It just so happens that a black qb named McNair from the Titans is rated in the top five. Color has nothing to do with it. QB is a position that is so hard to play that it takes a great player five years to learn how. It is no accident that so many of them had fathers who were coaches. When you really consider that the good ones know every pass route and every blocking assignment for every player on every one of hundreds of plays you get the idea. Then learning every defense and every player on every team and how they play defense and learn it so well that you don't think about it but just react, you have an idea. To allow a discussion to degenerate into a discussion of race doesn't work. Even Michael Vick, who is the best athlete at any position in the NFL, will have to learn. The position is a bitch.
