serious question: has rodney garner really been a game changer in the last 10 years?
i know that when you get the rep of "great recruiter," you never lose it. but it feels like it's been a while since rodney garner was a great recruiter. great for delivering the word uga thought cam newton was a tight end, tho.
yup. tell me where you work and i'll question that sh t, too.
yeah man, we all know about my brand, built by being uncommonly hard on black people. oh yeah.

now *this*? yes, this is about race. i have a hard time thinking of any white quarterback tagged with "can't read defenses" coming out.
brett favre didn't know what a nickel defense was when he got to the league.
if you do your homework, *maybe* your mom will let you use her car friday night.

andrew luck. stafford avoided it, too, but mostly because he had no competition as qb1 in his draft. we also didn't *really* pick leinart apart. nor eli manning. i'm talking pre-draft, to be clear.
no he wasn't. he wasn't picked apart in the nfl, either.
not really. plenty of white qb's get their games picked apart. how much of it you see in public discourse has to do with the narratives surrounding a draft. how much competition he faces. stuff like that.

and lil homie is lucky he didn't get the beats.
i don't know how old you are, but there's an irony to our most sensitive generation barking at people and acting surprised when someone says something back.
you'll have to forgive me. i grew up in a time when it was clear that teenagers talking like adults got treated like adults. i can't imagine being that age telling CAM NEWTON that he's "ass." you serious?

the comments are basically thousands of re-enactments.
the moral of the story is he’s a herb and so are you.
