If my mother was from the Big Island of Hawaii, and my dad was Caucasian, Would I be referred to as "Big-cauc-ed"?

No no, HolmeZz told me the other day it's OK for white people to use that word, as long it's the one that ends with an "a". He says it's not a derogatory term.

[QUOTE=Dale "Fat Fingers" Mercer][QUOTE=milkman]pussy Dick.Your point?

Dick is the perfect example of a she-man.

That's what I was gonna say. It seems LJ relates to Herm more because he's a former player not because he's black.

L.j. has about as much business criticizing vermeil as Kotter does saying the N-Bomb, even if they are both just playin.

L.J. was not ready to start when Vermiel was coach, he is barely ready now, other than being the best pure back with the ball in his hands. (See Fujita Dallas, Fumble in Denver)

L.J. Needs to keep working hard on his pass protection, and catching the ball out of the backfield, and protecting the football.

He has all the moves he needs once he gets the ball, and the line is good enough. He has to get even more unpredictable, and better at the other areas of his game.

The offense under Vermiel mandates that l.j. do these things, that is why he didn't start sooner. He simply couldn't do them, and he showed signs of immaturity, such as losing his playbook, etc.

He has no one to blame but himself.

You know, I've been back and forth on this. I agree that it appeared the DV was showing no respect for LJ. But then I read this piece about how he was sleeping in his locker (btw, how did he fit inside his locker to sleep?), not carrying his playbook (apparently didn't care to learn), etc. Sounds to me like perhaps he really did need to take off the diapers. It appears to me that DV may have been right about that. But I'm still not sure that saying that in public was the right thing to do. I'm thinking that both guys were wrong in the way they handled the situation.

I really want to like LJ outside of football, but it's just really hard when you read crap like this. Poor baby, the diaper comment may still apply. Maybe the diapers go on right after the jock comes off.

I'll cheer for him on the field, but let's just say I won't be buying his jersey any time soon.

Well, DV told everyone he would bring a Super Bowl win to KC...that didnt happen.

The only thing I give him credit for was making the Chiefs an offensive juggernaut....if he'd only cared about a defense and let gunther bring in his own guys...

My thoughts on this:

1. I don't blame him for hating Vermeil. I hate him too.

2. Carter kind of led him down the race path. It is ever possible for one black man to interview another black man and NOT mention race? Sure doesn't seem like it. :shake:

3. That said, it's not like Larry grew up in the projects dodging machine gun bullets. Give me a fucking break.

4. I love Larry as a Chief. If he played for anybody else, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't.

There is no doubt that LJ has a lot to learn, and needs to grow up, but Dick doe share some of the blame.

He made it clear that he didn't want LJ, and he treated him like an unwanted step child.

I wouldn't have blamed LJ if he ran Dick down like a LB standing in his way.

In fact, I would have applauded.

I think we can all agree that Johnson was drafted into a bad situation, coming to a team with the best back in football at the time. He also came in over the objections of his head coach, and apparently he also didn't handle it well. The whole thing was a mess, and I'm just glad that it appears to be straightened out now.

I had nothing against DV, but his leaving was a bit of a blessing in this respect.

When there is money like LJ is making at stake, Its a whole new ball game. Money changes everything. Even some of yoru best friends would use you if you started earning millions a year. And if you think not, then your kidding yourself.


Lj just answered how he felt about DV. He didnt like him, its not a big deal. Carter is the one that turned it into a racial thing. LJ just answered how he felt.


I dont see to much wrong with this, other then people are going to interpret it how they want.

The little i remember of highschool, You can see the Jocks bieng treated Differently. Hel, truth is most star jocks at any school are usually black guys, It was at my school. And everyone did treat them different.

Duh, Macaca.

Apparently you missed the memo: it's only offensive if it ends in "r;" if it ends in "a" it's permissable....


Got dat, Cracka?! :cuss:


:p

More accurate.
