Let's make it a thread. People here have discussed it in other threads. It was brought up today.

We all hear Goff call him out. But he doesn't go hard like he does when it's a caller or when it's racism in a news story. He backs off. Like I said in the other thread, Goff puts his foot in the water and doesn't jump in cuz it's too cold. He backs off with a laugh.

I think Goff stops short cuz he wants to be Bernstein's partner. That getting a high 6-figure salary trumps working with a racist. I think most people would take this trade off. I would. So Goff can't really go hard at Bernstein cuz he's scared that it will cost him a full time show with a successful broadcaster.

I also think Bernstein takes some sick, sadistic plessure in making his racist comments while knowing that Goff has to take it for the reasons mentioned above.

What say you, CSFMB? Let's do this!!!!

Beardown, you said, "That getting a high 6-figure salary."
High six figures, I believe, means over half-a-million.
Who are you kidding?
What do you possibly think a job like that could pay?

I didn't hear this "Robbie Gould vs Bernstein vs. Goff vs. Racism" thing. I just got wind of it in the other thread. Can somebody fully explain it.

I'm guessing it was Bernstein saying Robie Gould should think like him cuz he's white and it's understandable that Franco and Arrington think like idiots cuz they are black? Was that pretty much the jist of it today?

Would you be partners with a racist for a 6-figure salary?

So Franco is like B&B's producers all rolled into one.

I figured it's mostly cause he's a kicker (read: not a real football player), and seems to have a decent amount of sense in his head. Whereas the other guys are big strong athletes and therefore dumb meatheads. Urlacher is white and if he was substituted into this situation, Dan would probably assume him to be a mostly ignorant meathead (because he pretty much is).

I think this is closer to the truth.

I've never understood why kickers were excluded from being labeled meatheads.

Because most of them are white. That's the point.

I've never understood why kickers were excluded from being labeled meatheads. If anything, their job is probably the most fitting for someone who's an idiot as the only thought they have is, "see ball, kick ball".

For Bernsie, it's OK to be racist as long as you don't say crudely racist remarks. You have to be more subtle.

But that's most people. I rarely see anyone walking down the street yelling racial epithets. Although at a Sox game last season I saw a group of huge musclebound guys without shirts that had all kinds of racist/Nazi tattoos. The biggest guy also had something like, "All cops must die" across his shoulders. I kept waiting for security to come make them put their shirts on or for a couple brothers to get in their faces, but these motherfuckers were pretty intimidating. I wanted to say something myself, but I like my teeth.

One of the major themes of the show is the canard/stereotype that blacks are superior athletes. The other side of that same canard/stereotype is the idea that blacks are stupid. That obviously can't be expressed quite as freely, but sometimes it comes creeping out.
