He sucked in that Lincoln Financial commercial, and in the Chunky's Soup commercial.
Black QB's just don't make commercials as good as white QB's, because Peyton Manning and Brett Favre's Sunday Ticket commercials are awesome.
I can see Rush's point though. There has only been one black QB who ever won a Super Bowl, Doug Williams of the Washington Redskins who beat John Elway's Broncos in SB XXII. With all the air time given to the not enough black head coaches thing, it is easy to see why the media wants a black QB to do well. Their original point was that there were not enough black QB's in the league; there are now enough starting black QB's to silence that argument. Unfortunately, they are not consistently good enough to please critics. Kordell Stewart, Michael Vick, Rodney Peete, Byron Leftwich, Quincy Carter, Daunte Culpepper, Aaron Brooks, Steve McNair, and Donovan McNabb are all capable quarterbacks, the best among them being Vick and McNair. A Super Bowl champion black QB would probably shut those critics up for good, but for now, none except Stewart have been able to get there, and he'll never see another one.
I don't know... you never hear the media screaming for more white running backs and wide receivers. I've named 9 black starting quarterbacks. (I know, Delhomme is starting for Carolina these days; but Peete started the season.) Can you name 9 white starting running backs or wide receivers?
