White guys play best in the cold too. Well, except for the guys who are part Eskimo.

That is one thing I'm worried about, the one game Rodgers struggled in last year during the playoffs was the game in Chicago. Also the fact that the team that we will most likely be facing will be SF who is team is built perfect for playing in Lambeau at the time of the year. I have faith in Starks though, the dude hasn't really had a chance to get a lot of carries in a game yet and should be pretty fresh when the time does come when we'll need him.

Some racist shit right there

We'll be playing the NFCC game in San Fran, so no worries. Rodgers has a better wet ball grip than Alex Smith. Just ask The Skinbasket, he knows about these things.

It's the blood, man.

I've worked up north...offshore oil patch stuff.

First year we had all kinds of nationalities. By the start of the second winter we were down to pretty much Canadians, Russians and a few Scott hanger on's. One guy from Minnesota. I swear, anyone with pigment in their skin was long gone by Christmas the first year.

Flat out could not deal with it. It's not a matter of racism, it's a matter of being adapted to the environment.

Ah but can he jump???

Loved Jordy's stiff arm on that touchdown run. As my nephew said, he was Beastly.

I wonder if there'd be reaction if there was an article about an African-American QB who was in his fourth year, developing a bit more each year, and the article quoted teammates who said opponents underestimated him because he was black?

Crazy world. Crazy times.

[Brandon494]

I dont think teams underestimate Nelson really but it's hard to try to take him out of the game when you have to worry about Jennings and Finley.

Is this why you laughed at me when I drafted him in our fantasy league this year?

That wouldn't come up, because there's plenty of black quarterbacks out there. I can name 5 off the top of my head. It's not the Warren Moon era of that position any more. I do wonder what the reaction would be if they said that about a Chinese tight end. Probably the same as this one: A shoulder shrug about guys talking honestly about race in a completely fine manner.

I'm not a fan of this type of article. It is built off popular racial stereotypes which is taboo as a way of thinking these days according to the PC-experts. Only "racists" think this way is their warning,

But wait, Nelson is Caucasian, his teammates and defenders are generally Black so the article is publishable. Say what? Why is it okay to talk about racial assumptions in this case and not others? If the article solely focused on the assumed characteristics of Black athletes based upon their race it would be deemed backward and "racist" and potentially, dangerous. Some of that IS included, with the assumptions that Black athletes are faster and tougher than Whites. Apparently, those are okay assumptions. Likewise, Whites are slower and weaker than Blacks according to the article. Those seem to be acceptable to say as well.

But what other stereotypes based upon race is the writer leaving out? Some assumptions may not be positive. Can we talk about them as well? That article would not get published, would it?

Isn't the whole article based upon 'pre-judging'? Supposedly, that's the way that ignorant, racists think, the kind of thinking a civilized society should try to eradicate.

I'm not a fan of the PC-Thought Police, but if racial stereotyping is wrong, it should be wrong in all cases, even when talking about a talented, Caucasian wide receiver for the Green Bay Packers. Sadly, apparently, another talented player, Greg Jennings, is racist. He needs sensitivity training, maybe a summer session at UWM and a year's subscription to the Journal-Sentinel to get his mind right.

Kudos to Jordy for a great run as a wide receiver in the NFL as he overcomes his genetic deficiencies.

Have any Chinkers ever played in the NFL?
