    But players are judged on merit and blacks are better players.

    - Bullshit. You aren't giving us your credentials to "tweak your critics." You aren't pimping yourself to be a "cartoon" character. You're doing it because you want everyone to know how great you are and because you're egomaniacal enough (as you have admitted) to think anyone here cares.

    - A red-herring hate-fest, huh? In the words of Inigo Montoya, I do not think that word means what you think it means. I wasn't trying to distract anyone from anything. I was trying to get you to realize that you don't need 10,000 words to make your points, especially when 8,000 of them involve your plans to become an agent or something.

    - Gee, thanks for your permission to take shots at you as long as they're on less serious threads. ::) You're not really arrogant enough to believe you can tell posters when they're allowed to take you to task for your shameless self-promotion are you? And you're not arrogant enough to believe I would "follow you to other subjects" just to take shots at you, are you? Sorry, JDV, you're just not that important.

    I'll hang up and listen now, whatever. The last word goes to you if you want it.

    I'll check back in eight hours for JDV's epic novel response.

    JDV,

    Well, I'm glad I'm being more reasonable. My point still stands. People keep taking shots at you because you keep going way off topic and your digressions are all about yourself.

    I admit I am a bit of a threadjacker myself, and I get called on it, too.

    And the difference between many of the groups you brought up and blacks as NFL coaches is those groups don't have nearly the representation among the players that blacks do. That makes a large difference.

    Over the last 2 score and four years, the African American Male has overcome the war on poverty, the war on unemployment, the war on hunger, the war on drugs and the war on terrorism to climb my mountain. An African American man will coach the winning team in the Super Bowl, the American Passion Play.

    To that end, we can forever put to rest the myth that the African American man can coach because he's an African American man, and simply state, he can coach because he is a man.

    Marvin Lewis can't control his African American players, because he himself is African American? NO! He fails because of his failure as a coach, and not as a man. Herman Edwards is not a bitch because he's an African American man, he's just a bitch who happens to be a man.
