Guess which two NFL teams have the highest (1 Viewer)

[Mr Capicollo]

Fact: those two teams have the highest number of white players on their roster. Is it coincidence or not?

Of course it is you racist. Just like the extremely high % of blacks in jail is a nation-wide conspiracy between all the cops and lawyers and judges. Stop dissin.

It would be nice if just once, you had some clue as to what you were saying before you pressed \"add reply\".Just once.

If you doubt that there\'s a conspiracy to incarcerate an entire generation of black men, then you need to go straight away to Father Sharpton and confess your sins.

As someone pointed out, Jason Whitlock is making a living writing racially charged articles. Then conservatives can point to them and say, \"Here is a Black man who agrees with us!\". Whitlock\'s arguments should be examined on their merits, but also take his motivation into account.

It is sheer racism and disgusting to even attempt to examine team success or failure based on skin color. Unfortunately there are too many among us who seem to want to do this, and to question in general every time a black man is in a thinking position. That is why what Donovan McNabbb said earlier this year is essentially correct, that African-American QBs (and HCs as well) are under a greater amount of scrutiny.

The question of college education is another issue entirely, but I suspect if what the OP writes is true, the sample is still too small to make any kind of informed conclusion. We would have to look at previous great teams and champions in the NFL, as well as other sports, and see what the correlation is on a much larger scale to do this. As a college graduate myself, I can assure you that this acheivement alone is hardly the end-all in weighing someone\'s intelligence, ability, or eventual success level. The fact that two recent great teams have this statistic by a few players over their peers should mean nothing at all.

Liberal drivel -- thank you for attacking the messenger and ignoring the message.from the article:

\"Race is not the determining factor when it comes to having a good or bad attitude.\"

Didn\'t I say that Whitlock\'s arguments should be taken on their merits? Is that ignoring the message?I also wrote in another post that Whitlock will never say that race is the determining factor; he\'ll blame it on the \"hip-hop culture\". But again, since many more whites listen to hip-hop than blacks do, to use this as a determinant leads us back to what he won\'t say out loud but is implying: that Whites can handle the stuff, but Blacks can\'t. Totally, utterly racist.

Is this \"drivel\" in your mind as well?

Help me out here as I\'m not very smart. How are the two bolded statements by you not inconsistent with each other?

The first statement refers to other posters on this thread who tried to make a comparison which is blatantly racist. I don't accuse Whitlock of doing this, but I do point out that when you look at his arguments in detail, you realize they are racist as well, though more subtly so. But the two statements refer to two different things.

I didn't really intend for this to be a conversation about race, I'd rather keep that for the FFA.

I believe, and ESPN's point was that championship teams are now made with smart, "locker room" guys.

Those two teams also have the higher percentage of Tom Brady and Peyton Manning on their rosters.

I wonder which teams have the highest average college GPA.

 

[AnonymousBob]

Alex Smith.

Leave it to Capella...

Does anyone know how many of the starting qb's do not have a college degree?

Just looking I would guess Vince Young, Alex Smith (although I think he did graduate). I'm not sure if any others left early.

I'm more impressed with what their degree is in. Orton from the Bears has a degree in Molecular Biology or something like that.

Guess what teams have the least amount of PAC-10 players on their team?1. Patriots2. Colts(EDIT: I made this up)

I am totally going to steal this...and use it against my friends in whatever conference/school it may actually apply!

Not so quick, some conservatives may well be knuckle dragging throwbacks, not most. I am a conservative and frankly find Whitlock to be bombastic and counterproductive. I argue that race is more of a cultural issue and not one based on IQ. I don’t think there is an article or study of substance that proves race determines how smart people are. If there was evidence to actually support the argument that people could be disadvantaged intellectually because of race that would have implications that would kill many arguments laid out by conservatives, mainly I and most conservatives contend that everyone has an opportunity to make something of themselves in this country. If it were determined and accepted by all that indeed people were disadvantaged mentally based on race, then arguments for affirmative action and minority set asides would be mute. Conservative would not be able to argue against either. Conservatives would be forced to treat the now mentally disadvantaged as handicapped. The implications that Whitlock attempts to make are unfair. I agree there is far too small of a sample for Whitlock to draw any type of conclusion from. I wonder if the Patriots Asante Samuels, the Colts Bob Sanders or the other 55% non white players are amused. I wonder why there is even a post with such dishonorable intent posted here at FBG?
