Well, KCP has a player option.

He is definitely picking that up.

So, maybe package him with some 2nd rounders for bench help?

If you can't get Iggy, you might be able to get Crowder, Terrance Ross.

Is it really racist though? It's noting his skin color, not saying he could play like that because he's black. It's a stupid comment, but a QB could just as easily be wearing black compression sleeves and gloves in that weather and it wouldn't be about race whatsoever. Recognizing a man's skin color is not the same as stereotyping him for it.

Chess made a whole series of those Real Folk Blues albums, including John Lee Hooker, Howlin' Wolf, and Muddy Waters. Haven't heard the Sonny Boy Williamson one.

Thin line between racist and ignorant.

The comment made to Smart seemed more a shot at his manhood. But, if you squint....

I can see how you would come to that conclusion.

The comment about LeBron was just butthurt.

The comment about Lamar Jackson?

Just wow.

Pure ignorance. But, I don't think the Niners announcer was TRYING to be racist.

I think he was pulling all kinds of Shit out of his ass to rationalize why his team got destroyed.

Still, intent doesn't always matter. That Shit was across the line.

For this year, yeah. But the Lakers have historically struggled in Portland. Even the Showtime Lakers had their fair share.

Sure.


More so, the defense -- particularly the front four -- was predictably neutralized by Jackson's speed. Dominant as the 49ers may be, they couldn't keep up with the Ravens signal-caller, and his mobility was a factor all afternoon.

49ers at Ravens score: Lamar Jackson, Justin Tucker lift Baltimore over San Francisco in close battle


While Lamar Jackson connected with Mark Andrews early on for a touchdown, Jackson did most of his damage on the ground. On 16 carries, the MVP candidate tore up the Niners defense for 101 yards (6.3 yards per carry) and a touchdown. Mark Ingram added another 59 yards on 16 carries on the ground.

Yeah Jackson is great. Yet the Niners lost on a last second FG. No one got destroyed and certainly not enough to affect the comments of an announcer.

What happened to the Pistons?

You said they would contend this year because they acquired Snell and Doumbaya.

And the Hornets trio is not spectacular. They are average players posting stats in an opportunity vacuum with no star caliber talent on their team.

Hawks pieces will price better down the road once they figure it out.

Mecca said:

Says you.

The front four got their asses handed to them.

The announcer made the remarks because Lamar was KILLING YOU with play action.

He essentially said he was so hard to handle because you couldn't tell if he still had the ball because he and his uniform are black.

That's a shit excuse he was trying to make, instead of admitting the defense simply failed.

But, go ahead and get caught up in the semantics.

I get it more than most.

You are just in your feelings because your sports world has crumbled at your feet.
