So does it really matter who wins to you?
I will say I appreciate Tony Dungy always putting God 1st. Last night he had nor problem giving all the credit to God and even in the comeback he said it was the Lord doing.
Works for me. ;D
.......Hmmmm.....I wonder how long they have been "Black Coaches"? ;) ;) ;)
All of their lives, silly!
.......you know that I know that you know what I'm referring to! ;)
What's going to be soooo annoying to me is the fact that this tidbit will be blown up for the next two weeks. I wish the game went back to being a week after the conference championships.
I can't take all of the media hype. It's not necessary. It's the Super Bowl; it sells ITSELF.
.....come on man...you know better...It's the league's chance to cozy up to OUR demographic. It's their chance to show how that ridiculous "......MUST INTERVIEW A BLACK COACH" rule has worked.
......I wonder how many "demographically specific" commercials will be added to the line-up? ie: JAY-Z's Bud ad
Im going for the underdogs or should I say the underBears...
I want the Colts to win. I've always liked Dungy.
Love that sig.Thank you kind sir. I hope you and sjon don't mind me y'all idea. I just thought it was cool.

Be my guest! You've done well grasshopper.;D
Yes, sir.My brother-in-law is a Saints fan.(expected from somebody who is from Louisana) he was sick during and after the game. I could not torment him enough yesterday.
I got my Colts gear on right now. (I work in a place that's full of Saints fans so I'm stepping around rather quietly.)
When I realize that there would be two black coaches at the SuperBowl, I got so excited.
GO Colts!! But, if they lose, GO Colts!! eerrr I mean, bears.
SJon, any thoughts on Parcells retiring?
;D

I believe that the Rooney Rule has been great for the NFL. The college ranks are the most pathetic of all these corporate giants to me. Lovie Smith came up under Tony Dungy. Tony really paved the way for the modern black NFL coach. He has done it with a class that surpasses most people's understanding and personal drive. The Rooney rule doesn't give anyone a job or meets a quota. It gives lesser considered Black coaches an opportunity to impress owners (hiring authorities) around the NFL. Lovie Smith benefited from this rule. Otherwise we may not of ever heard of him.
I hope the media trumpets this accomplishment to the masses because people who discount the value of affirmative action and diversity needs another inoqulation to their lies. Conservative media's need to champion the rights of people who experience "reverse discrimination" is comical to say the least. That's an oxymoron if I haven't heard one. Tony and Lovie have acknowledged the mantle on their careers but with grace they have handled their success properly. For that I respect the two very much... It's great to see history been made by such class individuals.

What in the world is THAT?!?!? ?/? ?/? :-\
Are you one of those brothers who tries to use big words, but have NO idea what they mean? Like Omar Epps in "The Program'? ?/? ;D
Did you, perhaps, mean inoculation ?
I told you, you're going to need a really good editor for your book! ;)

So do you think they're gonna do a remake of "The Superbowl Shuffle" this year?

Sjon,
Ha Ha Ha!! For the record I do know what inoculation means. Sometimes I'm a horrible speller. For the record every word that I use I know the meaning of sir...lol Inoculation simply means to produce a medicine that fights a disease. My words are timely due to my beliefs of Racisim being a sickness. So I am not the prison character from In living color either. (Damon Wayans)
Sax I did catch the earlier post of How long have you been a black coach. In 1988 Doug Williams was asked how long have you been a black quarterback?. Not how long you been a quarterback but a black one. Hilarious.. The Rooney Rule isn't perfect but it is a means of changing things. The sad part is in 2007 Race still matters. Dr. Cornel West was right. This weekend can shatter the barriers in the NFL for candidates who wouldn't in otherwise be considered for jobs.
i cant wait until the color of someones skin is not mentioned for anything and we recognized a human being as just being the better person.
Sjon do you miss anything? lol

This is why I love reading just about anything that sjonathan has posted.
Grammar Wizard is related to Cynical Man isn't he?
