NFL Week 14 -- Serious People?

As a proud Irish-American, I don't see the problem.

Next thing you are going to tell me is I can't make fun of Poles.

 

Credit where it's due: Chris Berman during MNF halftime highlights noted Colts-Bengals was rematch of QBs from past Apple Cup, "on the Palouse". Just a little detail that did not go unnoticed.

 

Basic principle, it's only cool if you're subject to the same treatment. Making fun of Eli's nose or resting face is not the same as breaking out the "how many Italians/Poles does it take to _____"

True story, I was discussing why racist jokes are not cool one day (getting slammed with "slanty eyes" and "ching chong Chinaman" on 4th grade playground) and my (former) buddy just didn't get it when he said "well they called me fat on the playground". I wish I could recreate my eyeroll from then.
