Especially the part where he threw the race card at you and basically said you only like Richie because he's white and you can relate to being a white dude in the SEC. I'm sure you caught that, right?

If everything I have read here on this board is true Bo is a cock sucker.
Richie is 4th in sec in tackles, 5th in sacks, and 11th in TFL. Yet bo says Richie isn't an sec LB
Haha, rep points awarded.Quote:

Hanging around the unwarranted arrogance of OM people, may be rubbing off on him.Quote:

We have as much talent as pretty much anyone in the conference. Ours didn't come as polished, but we aren't on the current run we are on with a lack of talent. It makes him look extremely ignorant to keep playing that card.
Bo's black?
Back at you!Quote:

I guess he doesn't know that Eddie Myles and I grew up together, and he and his family (son is Gabe) come to my parent's house and visit EVERY time he comes to see his family. I guess he did not know that Eddie Myles, Rocky Nabors, and Kevin Henry rode home with me for all holidays or any time we had to go home. Did he really say that??
What was texted/posted?Quote:

You look at the NFL and you see guys like Edelman, Welker, JJ Watt, Luke Kuchely, Jordy Nelson, Rob Gronkowski excelling in the NFL you would think that would be a clue as well.
And now you look at Richie Brown- he only won SEC player of the week. And it wasn't because he is white. He's a heck of a player.
I just asked him if he played the white guy card on me on his show. He said because I described RB as a "blue collar" type player that it was justified. He said it's known that southern whites use the term "blue collar" to describe white people. I guess I'm a racist in the eyes of Bo.
Can someone pm me thick's name?
Huh. 35 years in Mississippi and all this time I thought that term just stood for someone who worked hard.Quote:

Then Bo is an idiot. Blue collar players come in all colors. Flashy players come in all colors. Dumb players come in all colors. Smart players come in all colors. Fast and athletic players come in all colors.Quote:

Same here. I don't care to listen to pricks. I never listen to his show.Quote:

So if you would also use 'blue collar' to describe Beniquez or call Richie a great athlete, then Bo is dead wrong. But if not, he's probably onto something. It doesn't mean you're racist; we all have stereotypes we use. I've been guilty of it plenty. I've had to catch myself when calling a white athlete something similar and ask myself if I would use the same term for a black player.
Those stereotypes are racist - toward the white and the black players. To suggest that black athletes don't work hard or white guys can't be athletic is racist as f*ck to me.Quote:

He NEVER researches any of the games that he talks up that particular week. He was completely caught off guard yesterday when Brad Edwards said he thinks aTm was overrated to this point. Why could Bo not ask him, "is it because through these 4 games that their defense has not improved from a statistical standpoint" compared to last year through the same period? For example, aTm has 17 sacks ytd, 8 came in one game, they have created 2 turnovers vs 0 last yr, they are giving up 5 yds/carry and roughly the same amount of yds/game as last year, etc. I could go on, but you get it right. He was expecting Edwards to agree with him, and it surprised him.
Don't get me wrong, we could absolutely get blown out this Saturday, because we have no significant ground game. But damn, do some research, at least have some statistical data to support your opinion on the subject at hand. Real fans want to real information not "they are more talented" as the reason for anyone's opinion. I'm out guys!
