What the heck is wrong with Matt Lauer? Seriously, a man getting attacked by a bear in the woods is a news story?


Donovan McNabb's comments aren't going to help him in Philadelphia. It's a circular argument-African American quarterbacks say they aren't given a fair shot-Coaches say show me you deserve a fair shot.

Is it likely there is an instinctive aversion to black quarterbacks? Subconciously, possibly, yes. But there is an extremely small list of quarterback positions. It simply doesn't make sense for any coach in the hypercompetitive NFL to make any decision based on race. Any such moron would be drummed out of the league in short order-not even because of the idiocy of the policy-because the POLICY WOULDN'T WORK. You can't ignore ability-anywhere-and win in the NFL.

Look at Atlanta signing Leftwich, though. If you show the ability, you will find work-Lord knows, there are lots of white quarterbacks (I'm looking at you, Trent Green. And you too, Joey Harrington.) who are awful.
