ntotoro Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Why would you consult Stephen A. Smith about Sean Taylor? Because he's a black, duhhh... :laugh: That was a joke, just in case it didn't translate well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsfan_70 Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 It was a non-apology "apology". He said he was wrong in his assumptions about the circumstances surrounding the shooting, but absolutely refused to say he was "sorry". He had the balls to compare himself to the President and soldiers dying in Iraq -- i.e. saying that the President might be wrong, but you'll never hear him say he is sorry... also here is a quote that will blow your mind: "who would have thought that the guys who ended up shooting Sean would be such losers?" Huh??? so, let me get this straight, you mean if a person murders an innocent man does so out of spite, vengeance, jealousy, hatred, etc. that is somehow justified and that person would be considered a "winner"??? WTF??? The ego and hubris of this guy is astounding. Here is a question: why is he such an anti-Redskin? Have you noticed this? I actually listen to Cowherd often. I'm a dispassionate listener living on the West Coast. I don't think I'm being paranoid or overly sensitive as a Skins fan when I say that whenever there is a slight opening to take a shot at the Skins, its batter up time at the Herd... but why? What does he have against Washington? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECU-ALUM Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 If there is any justice in this world Colin will have a colonoscopy and a tax-audit on the same day. Followed by a beat down by Ray Lewis and Lavar Arrington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRay Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Man who cares what tool has to say. As for Antrell(sp) Rolle is he really Sean's friend because where I come from friends wouldn't have put what he said out there and just adding to what the media thought about Sean. So was he a true friend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Brown #43 Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Since when did reading Wilbon's column become a consultation? Good point. However, I don't care if Cowherd sat down with Wilbon for three hours and the two roasted marshmallows together over a campfire. Wilbon admitted he didn't know Sean Taylor, so "consulting" him is idiotic. The color of Wilbon's skin doesn't make him an expert on Sean Taylor's life.

BigRay Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 QFT! Just something to think about. I call myself a friend but I come out and say the things he said I question it really. Now all these others backtracking they can all go to hell now that the truth of the fact surrounding his death came out every one wants to backtrack.

CallMeGreen Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 ...The bottom line is that he should have done the same thing with this case, but he got anxious and thought he could nail the story before anyone else and shoved his foot in his mouth. Maybe if I had come out and said "I thought Taylor was the accidental victim of a botched burglary because how else do you explain him getting shot in the leg?" then I'd be smart enough to have my own radio show now. But, I waited for more facts to come out simply because it's the responsible thing to do. Plus, had I been that insensitive as Cowherd and started making blatant accusations on this forum, I'd have been rightfully blasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbon admitted he didn't know Sean Taylor, so "consulting" him is idiotic.The color of Wilbon's skin doesn't make him an expert on Sean Taylor's life. This is kind of like President Bush saying, "To help win the war on terror I called up as a consultant Keifer Sutherland. He plays Jack Bauer on '24' he should have some good ideas." As someone else said he should've called people who actually knew him...nothing against Wilbon at this point but he is in the media and Sean didn't talk to the media.

jeffskins66 Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Good for him.He spread the responsibility, but I'm glad he mustered up the balls to take care of this before this is gone and forgotten. The guy is a pompous jackass and has bad taste in vodka, but his drivel is still more entertaining than the other guys on the radio when I'm driving to school (Opie and Anthony couldn't suck any harder and Ed Norris' callers make me change the station whenever I listen). I wish WJFK's signal was better past Annapolis. I drive to work during that same time and I listen to Dan Patrick on 980 in that time slot.

RedskinInExile Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Isn't this what Howard Stern did? Deliberately piss people off so they'd tune in to see if there were ramifications? Do you think that, maybe, pissing off a legion of Redskins fans so we'd talk about in the office and on message boards might be what he wanted all along? And yes, I do see the irony in contributing to a thread I just asked people to stop contributing to, and yes, I do feel dirty and used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmuss1 Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 I used to be an advid espn radio listener, I'm in my car all the time.

I do still listen to the Mike Tirico show, he seemed to have the best perspective. I don't even watch PTI anymore, because of wilbon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRay Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 One more thing about this a**wipe I'm black and I do not think I know everything about every black person what their lives are like you certainly shouldn't take words from that jerk Stephen A. Smith or Sean's so call friend. If he is such a friend he should know the code of the street man let me stop because I'm getting all upset all over again.

DId you see whay JB said on CBS, I think that was also directed at this punk ColinYou mean this? A direct swipe at that assbag Wilbon. "But are those reasons enough for some to be so insensitive, so quick and I think so inaccurate in stereotyping Sean Taylor as a bad apple, or that the end he met with was not a surprise? A group of burglars break into HIS HOUSE and surprise to find him there and end his life? Now by all accounts as we've heard from all those who actually knew him well, Taylor did an awful lot of maturing over the last year and a half. For those who have been mature for a lot longer than that, exercising restraint in passing such callous and harmful judgment would seem to be in order..." – James Brown, CBS Sports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
