I watched the Chargers game earlier in the week and had to listen to someone called J.C. Pearson. This guy was highly critical of any white player at every opportunity. And by "opportunity" I mean whenever there was a white guy in camera shot. It was so obvious that I can't understand how he can get away with it. He was very critical of Eric Weddle. On one play the Falcons tight end Peelle scored a touchdown when he was double teamed by Steve Gregory and a black DB. When the play was over Weddle came into shot. JC Pearson laid into him saying that it was Weddles fault. It was not a case of mistaken identity with Steve Gregory, as JC went on to point out Weddle in the replay and detail how Weddle was "late" getting into position. As Peelle was closely covered by two other DB's I'm sure he wasn't late and his job was to cover one of the wide receivers or another part of the field. It was ludicrous, but it didn't stop there. Every time LT got stopped for a loss or a short gain JC kindly explained to us how this was Jacob Hesters fault. One play sticks in my mind. The offensive line opened a hole in the middle of the defense and Hester went charging through then paused as there was no one to block. Meanwhile LT had tried to run around the edge of the line and got tacked for a loss. JC then replayed the play for us saying "What's Hester doing going through there. there aint no one to block. He then got his pen out and drew a line to the linebacker who tackled LT saying he should have blocked him. Again totally wrong. If Hester went right up the middle it must have been what his assigment was, and if LT had actually followed him (and been able to keep up, because Hester flies around the field) he would have made a nice gain. JC continued laying into mostly Weddle and Hester all game. he had a go at Wilhelm at one point fro being poor in coverage, biting on play action and being slow to drop back. Later on Weddle gave away a pass interference penalty. I watched the replay and didn't see anything wrong. In fact looked like pretty good coverage by Weddle. The receiver had got behind him, but he was very close. JC said that Weddle was badly beaten and then went into complete panic mode. I hope some others saw this game and can back up what I am saying. That JC pearson was totally biassed and definately has an agenda. Trouble is most people just watching a game on TV just accept what they are told by these "experts".

Yeah, some people actually love this know-nothing, and feel he's a rising star in broadcasting.

I didnt hear this game, but judging by the incredibly jealous nature of black jock-sniffers (Deon Sanders, Marshall Faulk, Terrell Davis, Keyshawn Johnson, Michael Irvin)...I'm sure his comments were outrageously caste and opinionated. Oh wait, Terrell Davis and Marshall Faulk are both way too stupid have have opinions, haha.


JC Pearson is the wimp on the right....

I suppose Peabrainson is next going to explain to us all how the poor economy is Jacob Hester's fault, and that there would be no Big 3 auto collapse were it not for Peyton Manning.

For tonight's Chargers game, all the pre-game announcers, especially Cris Collinsworth

, over and over again denounced the Chargers' o-line, the fullback (Hester), and Norv Turner for the team's problems. Never mentioned was the possibility that Tomlinson and Gates have declined in ability. Giving Tomlinson and Gates more touches was the simplistic solution mentioned over and over.


For the first part of Tomlinson's career the Chargers had a horrible sumo line, but Tomlinson was so good that he still was very successful. When the team finally got some good linemen is when Tomlinson had his best years and broke the record for TDs in a season, and San Diego became a Super Bowl contender. Tomlinson has slowed down, and Gates is yet another black athlete who declined early.San Diego's off-year has been because of a combination of a lot of things, including the line not being as good as in the past few seasons, but for the Caste clowns only some factors are worthy of discussion.Edited by: Don Wassall

The media constantly refers to Antonio Gates as the NFL's most "affletic" TE. The gays on "Mike and Mike in the Morning" praise Gates so often that they might as well wear his jockstrap on their respective, empty heads.

Gates does have 6 touchdowns and over 500 yards this season, however, he looks very slow, fat, and very "unaffletic." The past 3-4 games, when the Chargers needed this "superhuman TE" the most, he's averaged about 2 catches for 15 yards / game.

Gates is nothing special when compared to the myriad of younger, more athletics white TE's (Daniels, Scheffler, Witten, Zach Miller, Boss). Tomlinson (the media's prior love-child) has only hurt his team through 12 weeks this season. I'll admit, he was a legit star in the past, but now he looks awesomely average, or worse.Edited by: Thrashen

Gates couldn't hold Todd Heap or Shockey's jock strap!

I did notice the comments you mention, but to tell you the truth I just considered them par for the course. Any time one of the rare white defensive players is in the vicinity of a completed pass, one of the talking heads will invariably blame him. While most often, the defensive back beaten on a particular pass play is not mentioned by name, any white DB beaten in coverage is zeroed in on and the audience quickly learns his identity.

What I did note was Collingsworth's continuing deterioration into one of the most obnoxious Caste Clowns on the air. I used to think he was one of the fairer talking heads, but he is now a super Caste disciple. Along with his partner, he spent a lot of time defending fat turd Russell's obvious lack of ability and placing the blame for his failure everywhere else. I also heard little praise for Philip Rivers, who is having a superb season.
