That's Matt Millen's quote (not Russ Grimm's) after Russ Grimm said he'd run over his own mother to win the Super Bowl (SB XVIII)

That was confusing me quite a bit earlier today.

You win. I officially douche-ed myself. Pass on people....nothing to see here....

Isn't focusing so much on the fact that Williams was the first black QB in a SB or on the two black coaches this weekend perpetuating the issue of differences between races. I think it is ironic that such an issue is made when what everyone should be striving for is an actual lack of any attention since it shouldn't be big a deal.

To me, celebrating something done by a minority, simply because he or she is a minority, just contributes to the problem be it perceived or not.

i agree with this 100%

I wish we didn't have to discuss race, I wish people didn't see skin color, I wish we didn't have to celebrate the fact that someone of color did something, and I wish racism didn't exist. But, what I wish is different from what is and tends to be irrelevant to what should be done. I really don't know what the right answer is to this kind of question, it's definately complicated.

Judging from the expressions of both Lovie Smith and Tony Dungy when the question concerning African American coaches in the SB is mentioned, it apears they too agree with you. I get the feeling they wish that question would just go away because it shouldn't be neccessary to mention.

As for the conference championship victories by Dungy and Smith, Williams said: "Winning the Super Bowl that day wasn't as significant to me as this past Sunday. I didn't see it then. I can see this. I can feel this."

to me,he seems like he is more proud of how far more important it is that dungy
and smith got to be the 1st 2 black men to be headcoach in the superbowl,than anything he or any other black athelete has done in the nfl,including the 2000 yard seasons of simpson,sanders,davis,lewis,and erick dickerson,and the mvps won by LT,Mcnair,and san diego's LT.i can see his point!

[Deep sigh]. At least it was an interesting, intelligent, and civil discussion at one point. Oh well, I'm done with this one.

No hard feelings SkinEmAll, I just didn't appreciate the joke.
