    I think Rex Grossman is the greatest former Florida QB to ever play in the NFL.

    If it's OK to celebrate the fact that the head coaches of the Super Bowl teams are black, are we going to celebrate the fact that the 2 QBs of the Super Bowl teams are white? Or will we all relfect on the absense of white cornerbacks and hispanic running backs.

    I think John Elway and Chris Chandler were both out of the Pac-10.

    Is it just me, or does Lovie look like Whoopi Goldberg when he wears the stocking hat?

    I figured this thread would be stumbling and slobbering all over the race issue, both ways. Maybe the QBs and coaches will tell these obsessed media to f--- themselves. Then they'll write about that.

    Or we can see how New Orleans is healing from its NFC championship loss while the real problem down there gets met with liberal placates and conservative "You chose to live there, help yourself" remarks.

    Have we seen a white corner back in the SB since Jason Sehorn?

    I don't want to turn this into a black vs. white issue but did white NFL players have to deal with racial segregation? Back then, it was looked down upon to have a black quarterback.

    I would argue that there is segregation of white folks in athletics. How else to explain the disproportionate lack of representation of Americans of European ancestory at all levels of professional sports. It certainly can't be natural ability within ethnic classifications.
