NBCDFW: Out Of The Chute: Cowboys vs. Bucs

[TheCount]

Any more offensive than calling Wade the stay fresh marshmallow man?

You don't find it any more offensive that "Radio", is a real person with a real disability and Stay Puft is a fictional character?

I think most do it in jest as did I. So no I don't find it offensive I'm sure you do then again you seem to get offended quite easy

Raheem (Radio) Morris has the mentality of his nickname firing his OC a week before the season.

Or for taking an entire offseason and preseason to figure out his OC wasn't qualified to run a Burger King.

That offends me. I demand a 7 figure settlement for emotional suffering and turmoil. I might also suffer from ED so my wife also wants, wait, you want WHAT honey?

Sorry, we'll settle out of court for a bag of cashews.

It's like calling gruden chuckie get over it he did'nt mean nothing by it... I mean this is the 21st century for crying out loud:bang2:

No, it's not like calling someone Chuckie, or calling someone Marshmallow Man. The reference to Radio goes a lot further than insulting someone's intelligence, since Radio and Coach Morris coincidentally happen to be African-American.

But, this is a family site. I don't want to get too angry.

Exactly what I was getting at. Using "Radio" besides the racial undertones I mentioned is also insulting to people that have special needs or mentally disabled children or family members - myself included. My uncle has been disabled for over 20 years due to a drunk driver.

Besides that comment, however, the article was just overly offensive with how piss poor it was. Magary could probably pretty easily get a job with ESPN.

I know which chute this article was pulled from.

Where the hell is the line 2.5? It's at 6, actually.

 

[Boyzmamacita]

I believe the author is referring to "Radio" Raheem from Spike Lee's "Do the Right Thing" not the mentally disabled man portrayed by Cuba Gooding, Jr.

Every Tuesday during the season, we’ll scout out the Cowboys next opponent. This week, that opponent is the Tampa Bay Bucs.

The Opponent: The Buccaneers, aka the Bucs, aka the ---s.

Wait a second? Did Martellus Bennett cal them the ---s on his Twitter feed? Oh, yes.

Oh, no he di-in’t! Oh, yes he di-id.

The Coach: Raheem Morris, aka Radio. Morris is a complete unknown as far as head coaches go. He could be the next Mike Tomlin. Or he could be the next Rod Rust. There’s no way to know. But one thing’s for certain: he’s already a better coach than Wade Phillips.

The Offense: The Bucs, for now, will be led by Byron Leftwich at QB, who beat out Luke McCown for the starting gig. McCown was subsequently traded to Jacksonville. Rookie first-rounder Josh Freeman will be the backup, and will probably unseat Leftwich by mid-season. For now, DeMarcus Ware and company get to feast on Leftwich and his not-so-dangerous sub-8.0 speed. Ware needs to beat left tackle Donald Penn and get Leftwich often. Because, given time, Leftwich is more than capable of getting the ball downfield to Kellen Winslow and Antonio Bryant, who likely WILL play in this game, despite a knee injury. Only four tackles gave up more sacks last year than Penn, so that bodes well.

At running back, Cadillac Williams will start for Tampa, and will split carries with free agent Derrick Ward and Earnest Graham. Williams will get two series, then Ward gets the next two, then Graham gets the next one. Is this team fantasy death? Oh, yes. Yes, indeed.

The Defense: The Bucs are in the midst of an overhaul on D, getting rid of future Hall of Famer Derrick Brooks and relying on younger guys like Gaines Adams and Aqib “Cabbie Puncher” Talib to serve as the foundation of the team’s next great defensive era. For now, their best player on D is linebacker Barrett Ruud. Look for him to shadow Felix Jones and Marion Barber whenever they go out to catch a pass.

The Line: Cowboys by 2 1/2

The Danger: It’s tempting for the Cowboys to look ahead to the opening of JerryWorld against the Giants on Sept. 20. Most people agree the Bucs are retooling and will struggle to finish the year out of the NFC South basement.

But I think we can all agree this Cowboys outfit has no business at all overlooking any opponent it plays. Perception may tell you the Bucs are an easy opener. They are not. Both these teams went 9-7 last year. And the Bucs, unlike the Cowboys, outscored their opponents over the course of 16 games last season. Throw in the fact that this is a road game (They have cannons!), and it’s clear this one won’t be easy.

Still carrying old grudges around, huh?

There's no reason for me to be offended, and I didn't say I was. I also didn't ask if you found it offensive since you are neither Radio or Morris, why would you be offended?

Being that there is a real person behind your "joke", though, it might be worth considering just how it might be offensive, is all I'm saying. Or not. Doesn't really bother me either way.

The author of this article is a tool. My 10 year old niece could have written a better article.

Grudge none what so ever but I find it strange you bring it up about "do I find it offensive" if it were not a big deal to you I doubt you would have even brought it up.

I asked if you don't find it offensive that they are making fun of the intelligence of a coach by comparing him to a real person with a real mental disability. Not because I'm offended, but the real person and/or his family might just be.

That was in response to your statement that equated it to comparing Wade to Stay Puft, who is not a real person.

You sure seem to be Mr. Sensitive, I'll try and be careful not to offend you since you are so thin skin about every little thing. It is a joke get over it.
