Just ask chris cooley who just divorced his wife, a former skins cheerleader.

This girl is apparently very close with his family. Counts for something...

Maybe so, but I've seen first hand that sometimes when that small town girl gets to Paris, she falls in love with the Parisian lifestyle and will not leave to go back to the small town way of things. Bítches go crazy

i can't remember if it was the Detroit Free Press or the Detroit News but one of them canned him shortly after that embarrassing situation.

ESPN commentator on RG3: “He’s kind of black, but he’s not really”

Posted by Michael David Smith on December 13, 2012, 3:08 PM EST

Reuters
Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III recently said in a recent interview that he didn’t want to be defined as an African-American quarterback. One ESPN commentator says that raises questions about Griffin.

In fact, ESPN’s Rob Parker said Thursday morning on First Take that as an African-American, he has a lot of questions about Griffin.

“My question is, and it’s just a straight, honest question: Is he a brother, or is he a cornball brother,” Parker said. “He’s not really. He’s black, he does his thing, but he’s not really down with the cause. He’s not one of us. He’s kind of black, but he’s not really like the kind of guy you really want to hang out with.”

Parker said he wants to know more about Griffin’s personal life before he can accept Griffin as authentically black.

“I want to find about him,” Parker said. “I don’t know because I keep hearing these things. We all know he has a white fiancee. Then there was all this talk about he’s a Republican, which there’s no information at all. I’m just trying to dig deeper into why he has an issue. Because we did find out with Tiger Woods, Tiger Woods was like, ‘I’ve got black skin, but don’t call me black.’ So people wondered about Tiger Woods.”

Asked by fellow panelist Skip Bayless about the fact that Griffin braids his hair, Parker said that’s an aspect of Griffin that he approves of.

“That’s different, because, to me, that’s very urban,” Parker said. “Wearing braids is, you’re a brother. You’re a brother if you’ve got braids.”

Another panelist on the show, Stephen A. Smith, said he wasn’t comfortable with how Parker had framed his argument.

“First of all, let me say this: I’m uncomfortable with where we just went,” Smith said when asked to respond to Parker. “RG3, the ethnicity or the color of his fiancee is none of our business, it’s irrelevant, he can live his life in whatever way he chooses. The braids that he has in his hair, that’s his business, that’s his life, he can live his life. I don’t judge someone’s blackness based on those kinds of things. I just don’t do that. I’m not that kind of guy.”

I asked an ESPN spokesman whether the network had any response to Parker’s comments on the air and will post it if ESPN does issue a response. But ESPN obviously thought Parker’s comments were worth repeating: When Best of First Take aired on Thursday afternoon, the show ended with a replay of the discussion about Griffin.

Nice couple. I like RGIII even more now. Clearly neither a douche nor a cornball brother.

We are going to need video footage to verify if she truly does have the black booty.

I like them to sound like a half gallon jug halfway filled with OJ when she walks.

I think a black guy said that

If you're going to quote Doc Holiday, you might as well get it right.


Nonsense, I have not yet begun to defile myself



Maybe the funniest lines in that entire movie were by Doc Holiday.

Wyatt Earp: How are you?

Doc Holliday: I'm dying, how are you?

Card player: What is that Holliday? Twelve hands in a row? Ain't nobody that lucky.

Doc Holliday: Why Ike, whatever do you mean? Maybe poker's just not your game. I know! Let's have a spelling contest!

Well now it all makes sense.

[socalorado]

From what i hear, RGIII is the black Tim Tebow. Yes, hes a very devout christian and basically is just like Tim. However because hes black, but doesnt sound "black" to some and doesnt smoke weed, and make it rain at clubs, some folks in the media, like this idiot dont like him. Unfortunate really. Just sayin...

[colorado jones]

Rob Parker knows as much about being black as he knows about sports.

ESPN is beyond ridiculous.
