2015 Bengals Season Part 3

[WVRed]

I doubt the Browns would give up a very high second and third round pick for McCarron, but that's about what it'd take for me to trade a security blanket at the most important position.

But if I'm the Bengals, do I trade a QB within the division who could come back to haunt them?

It's one thing if we can control where he goes, but I would be sending him outside the division.

We play them twice a year. There's some history there.

I think Sea Ray and you are on the same side here.

Absolutely. I'm a harsh critic of the organization, but they did not deserve that terribly officiated game.

I'll be mad about it until I'm 90.

Way to take it there, that wasnt the intent!!!

You can't color it differently after the fact. Blackface has not been OK for decades. While more than half the Europeans don't understand this as their ignorance runs deep (see the Spanish Olympic basketball team from six years ago, the current state of how Jews are treated, and public hate crimes that happen on a daily basis), the United States left public acceptance of racial stereotypes behind in the 60's when names like "Chinese Cherry" and it's associated image was replaced with "Choo-Choo Cherry".

While Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are buffoons, idiots, an embarrassment to their ethnic groups, while setting race relations back 50 years every time they open their mouths, accountability and respect goes both ways. Their poor behaviors do not justify others to lower theirs to an unacceptable level.

I'll be mad at 190. You hear that Tomlin? I'm sticking around to poltergeist your great, great, great grand kids.

Like I said, that's not where I was going with that. I live in a biracial family and biracial children, so for you to take it there shows me a little about you. Post what you want, I won't see it. You will be the 2nd person on my ignore list...HAVE A GOOD DAY!!!!

Can we close this and start a Bengals off season thread? Maybe everyone can take a deep breath and use that as a fresh start.

I think he's just saying don't disrespect folks by using the caricature of a slave talking.

My best friend in the world was African American, it wouldn't excuse me if I did something similar.
