Three Pro Football Players On Holding The Number 1 Spot: The Struggle Of The Black Quarterback (Video)
January 27, 2020
Good coverage and perspectives offered by The Undefeated in this piece. Maybe y’all remember (maybe not) Doug Williams coming from getting beat up with the [orange, really orange] Tampa Bay Bucs for YEARS in the League… to taking the Washington Redskins to the Super Bowl AND winning (with a bum leg) in one year… AND retiring and taking over for one of college football’s greatest coaches EVER, Eddie Robinson, at Grambling University… now that’s a “QuarterBlack” (published in 1990, link to Amazon here) story. Barely talked about.
And the struggle continues. But first, a bit more history… Don’t let them forget, we’ve always had Black QB’s that were the ‘ish!
The first wave of successful Black quarterbacks gave this entire generation of stars the role models they needed – but few know the actual struggles that these legends had to overcome behind the scenes. In conversations with The Undefeated’s senior NFL writer Jason Reid, these legends discuss their journey and how they each played a unique part of the evolution: Warren Moon going from undrafted to the Hall of Fame, Randall Cunningham being able to embrace his athletic style and Donovan McNabb on the 1999 draft class that saw three players drafted in top 10.

NFL WR Calvin “Megatron” Johnson Featured On ESPN’s ‘E:60’ Program (Video)
September 2, 2012
Calvin “Megatron” Johnson is arguably the most dominant wide receiver in the NFL today & ESPN’s E:60 program did a feature on him that I had watched live when it aired. Despite being nicknamed “Megatron” by his teammates & doing well in the league, Calvin Johnson appears to be a very grounded, non-diva attitude wearing wide receiver in the NFL. This mini-documentary hosted by ESPN’s Lisa Salters does provide some insight as to who Megatron really is when he transforms off the field into Calvin Johnson.

March 7, 2012
Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch just signed a huge contract with his NFL team recently & in one of the first interviews since news reports came of the deal he goes to a shop in his native Oakland to get some new grills for his teeth. First thing I’m thinking is ‘who in the hell still rocks grills? Oh well…. Congrats on the new contract & all homie, but spend your money wisely. Don’t want to have to follow that Allen Iverson savings & spending plan after A.I. allegedly blew over $150 Million dollars…….
