hmmm..... title says thugs and you bring up Black people. Not sure what to think about that.Hmmmmm, maybe now LJ has a black coach who doesn't "understand black players."
It's well known LJ's been trying to pass himself off as some sort of gangsta. The quoted part of my post were his words about Vermeil in direct reference to that, and essetially having no street cred. The joke of course is that LJ, like Chris Webber, passes himself off as that but was in fact born and raised in traditional American suburbia. In short, stay informed and don't go there.hmmm..... title says thugs and you bring up Black people.

funny thing is that nowhere in that interview do it make that statement. Dont pass off your own words and jokes as a quote. And by the way ganstas hang on corners and claim neighborhoods and shoot people and sell dope. I dont think LJ does any of those things. So maybe you should get informed.It's well known LJ's been trying to pass himself off as some sort of gangsta.

If you read the interview with Edwards, you'll see that what you brought up applies to nothing in it.
thank you.
Nice try, but hopefully the replies will make it clear there's no longer any point in you going there either.It's well known LJ's been trying to pass himself off as some sort of gangsta.

While I am not too in love with Herm Edwards as a coach, I truly respect his view and take on football matters. He is extremely intelligent and very verbose within the confines of this interview. I hope that the NFL listens up in regards to what he has to say about the fining bit and players as it pertains to off the field actions. The myth is that players are not supposed to be role models but the reality is that kids and other players are going to look up to them no matter what the players think. This really needs to be adressed and hammered through by the NFL so that we can, "better", the future of representation of the NFL and football in general as seen by the eyes of those who only view as a casual fan or otherwise.
Fair enough. I hadn't read it and was just going off of BR's "thugs" statement in the OP. You're right about the thrust of the article and Edwards' statements being different.
Watch out Redman you are going to be labeled a racist because you have an opinion. Lets face it nobody can deny the majority of people being arrested from the NFL are black. Now why is that? Well it could be that 70 % of the players in the NFL are black so simple %s or it could be parenting, the fact that 51% of black children are raised without a father. Maybe it is economics, or possibly racial profiling. I can tell you one thing ignoring or not saying it because it is not poitically correct won't solve any problem.Nice try, but hopefully the replies will make it clear there's no longer any point in you going there either.It's well known LJ's been trying to pass himself off as some sort of gangsta.

Good points but I think it needs to be pointed out that the black culture (fashion and music) are inspired by hip hop and rap music which promotes prison culture aka gangsta's. Not to paint with too broad of a brush,,,there are plenty of hispanic gangsta's and there are plenty of honky white kids that want to act tough by being "down". It takes a while for all of us to grow up when we're young, rich, have an entourage of friends telling us that our #### doesn't stink, playing a game and chasing tail like it's going out of style .funny thing is that nowhere in that interview do it make that statement.
