Wasn't there another article on this webpage where they injected race into the situation? I don't mean that they were racists, just that that they characterized someone with the adjective relating to their color?
Here's a hint -- how's about calling him: "The Weapon!" Why does he have to be delineated as the: "White Weapon"? Is this board a KKK off-shoot?
What real purpose did this idiotic diversion serve? The second part of this missive was fine. It railed about the idiotic play calling of 'The Brat' -- as should be noted (one thing though, there should have been a comment of running a shovel pass or draw play when it is 3rd and 16 -- as the Bengals are wont to do (Oh I forgot, that is MBB calling down from his box to force that play -- a play that virtually NEVER works -- a play that his ol' man also hammered into his coaches etc.). Point is... that's legitimate critical fare, but talking about a descriptive term that is totally superfluous (look it up)....
I guess, for that matter we can talk about the 'black squirrel' I saw this afternoon over near Glendale! It has about the same purpose and value!

WCH, wasn't there another comment on this site where you lambasted the blog authors for any trifle that came to mind? I don't mean that you're an asshat, just that you were making a total fool of yourself.
Here's a hint -- how about posting something: Useful! Why do you have to be contrary just for contrary's sake? Is this board your personal grumble pit?
What real purpose did your angry misguided rambling serve? The second part of your missive was fine.
