And from Mr. New York, here's Joe Contcha.

I'm sure many of you have not heard of a former running back for the Pittsburgh Steelers named Richard Mendenhall.

0:17.2

The reason why I bring him up is because this guy goes on to Twitter and says, quote,

0:22.8

I'm sick of average white guys commenting on football. You all not even good at football. Can we please

0:28.2

replace the Pro Bowl with an all black versus all white bowl? Which doesn't set us back. This is like

0:34.6

the mayor of Boston excluding whites from attending a holiday party. Segregated football. Boy, that's very interesting. And the fact is, you know, if I'm putting together like an all-white roster, I kind of like my chances, right? I'll put, let's see, Josh Allen, a quarterback, or Brock Purdy. Yeah, Brock Purdy, I'll put a quarterback. And then I'll put his running back in my backfield in Christian McCaffery. Then I'll put Travis, Kelsey, and George Kittle on as a dual-threat tight ends.

I just can't believe that we're at this point. And you say, well, it's just one former running back, Joe, Richard Mendenhall. You may remember he fumbled away the Super Bowl when he was playing with

1:47.3

the Steelers against the Packers. Steelers were about to take the lead and the guy coughed it up and that was the end of it and that was Aaron Rogers. That was his only Super Bowl victory, only Super Bowl appearance now

they think about it.

Anyway,
