SOOOOOO WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am a huge football fan. I have learned from it, made some of my best friends because of it, and to this day I play at least one NFL (Neighborhood Football League) game a year. THE TURKEY BOWL. The annual Thanksgiving reunion of friends and family breeds football performances that will never be recorded for historical posterity, but this annual game is as important as any responsibility we have that holiday. I almost rescheduled visiting family in Texas just to play in this game. Football means that much to the average joe.

We have no Tyrell Owens or Peyton Manning, we run the ball A LOT, and when we do pass most patterns are limited to a 10 yard post or a fade. This is full contact spitting, bleeding, slobbering, heads up, no pads, snot bubbling, smash mouth football. This is the way football was meant to be played. If you don't bleed than you didn't play hard enough. It is a guarantee that at least one person shows up to Thanksgiving dinner with an injury of some sort; black eye, busted nose, sprained ankle. Some of the guys, more than likely go to dinner in the clothes they played in and with the blood of their opponent still freshly staining their jersey.

I guarantee the diverse group of guys I play with, the "average joes", could give a rats ass if the coaches in the Super Bowl are black, white, 30 years old or 90 years young, the only thing the "average joe" is worried about is who is going to win. We respect determination, talent, character, and the ability to reach the very top of the game no matter what race. We don't need the liberal media condescendingly singing the accomplishments of Dungy, a black man, and Smith, also a black man, while basking in the stench of their own self-gratification like they had something to do with the success of these men, and that all the white NFL team executives should feel at fault for something like this not happening sooner.

To Liberals Dungy and Smith are not successful coaches that happen to be black, but are black men that happen to be successful coaches. That is the liberal perpetuation of racism.

Congratulations Mr. Tony Dungy for the win and Lovie Smith for your success and thank you for being a shinning example of what all people should aspire. Thank you for being a shinning beacon in a fog of hypocrisy.
