What does race have to do with anything?

Almost everything according to Wilbon.

Wilbon didn’t say a single word about race yesterday

Sometimes he does

Because sometimes it matters

Good lord people

Looks like that one hit a nerve or two. lol

sorry

Maybe you are confusing Wilbon with Bomani?

Not at all. I've been watching the show regularly for almost 20 years.

Its still one of my favorite sports shows. And I still like Wilbon.

Don’t like my innocuous Memphis attention thread being hijacked by nonsense Alabama groupthink. Whining about people commenting about real issues makes little sense.

Other than that no big deal.

lol

I've always enjoyed PTI though. I've been watching since day 1.

Define racist?

Right. Bomani discusses race frequently. He gets hung up on it. Also seems to be the way he discusses things. He doesn't just make a point. He repeats it over and over. Either add additional info or move on.

So you smear the entire population of a state to make a counterpoint. Smooth.

You are right.

Not all Alabamians should be disparaged.

Even though you seem to understand what was meant yet wanted to appear slick.

But I am glad you recognize that the otherwise generic Alabama think is indeed negative. Good inference. The good people of Alabama are getting gobbled up by the bad.

But, this thread was about Memphis getting attention on ESPN.

Then we got the unasked for and unnecessary comments on race from someone else as they mocked Wilbon

Then I responded

Then a gem like you takes a shot at me

How organic

What do you think of the ESPN segment?

What made you single out Alabama over any other state?

Lol

I know Webber was the #1 pick in 1993, but anyone who paid attention to college basketball could tell that Penny was the best player in the land that year. Still wonder what our season would have looked like had Vaughn not injured his knee.
We were absolutely goat-stomping Arkansas at the time he went down.

The women in my house have always referred to PTI as that show were those 2 guys always yell at each other.

lol

Yeah Alcade, see below, Wilbon was just awful to Penny. You guys who look for the negative all the time are exhausting.

I was just glad to see us in the first segment of the show. They said a lot of good things about us.
