Meh. If SHAKE THAT is jr. Bernstein, Rhodes is trying to be Pee-Wee Bernstein. |

I found myself in a very odd position this morning: actually agreeing with Mully as he offered his response to Rhodes. |

Dustin Rhodes has some very misguided sports opinions, as the couple of times that I've heard him he seems to like to take the contrarian viewpoint, regardless of how silly his premise is. He wants to be the "outlaw" thinker, but his arguments are just stupid. Like when he felt the NFL should not have played games on September 11th. He didn't back that stance up with any real reasoning other than basically saying, "Because that's the way I feel." That's called a bad host. |

And the other older sounding producer or whoever was chiming in was Boers. total Mini B and B. High pitched worked up young guy making grand proclamations speaking in condescending tones and old guy chiming in with useless random observations. Dustin: Paterno is disgusting. Everyone should root against Penn State other producer: Well, ya know college football is dirty, but this...this is something else. |

Ive only heard him today though. |

He is easily the worst host I have ever heard the Score trot out there. He is tryign to be controversial but has zero radio timing and literally cannot read a room. Making stupid, off-the-wall comments is one thing. All hosts do it. But with Rhodes, he has no verbal control and just says stupid things. That is a dangerous thing in radio. Bernsie is a tool, and loves to take the opposite view, but at least he has control of what he says. |

I understand the point of trying to generate discussion on a radio show by making statements that you may or may not actually believe. But then, as you point out, there are off-the-wall comments that are obviously meant to spark a negative backlash. |

Well what i heard this morning wasnt bad. But there is definitely an issue at the score of a lot of these fill ins sounding the same. Similiar voice, similiar cadence. Its good that he's at least recognizable. EDIT: In fact what i heard was good. He was rightfully taking Mulligan to school because Mulligan kept backing up Paterno. Acting as if telling the AD was sufficient. Dude was passionate. I liked it. |

I heard that Vick "No big money/ 2nd chance" diatribe this morning. I thought it was refreshing to hear a sports radio voice that wasn't part of the sheep. I understand what he was trying to say,but Vick was a man who did his time and hopefully learned a lesson. Let's face it for some,the more money they make (anybody,not just athletes),the more they get removed from reality. |

Just my opinion, but a white dogfighting athlete wouldn't be villified by the general public nearly as much as Vick has been and continues to be. No one will ever get me to not believe that. |

There are many people who root against Vick & want to see him fail. |

I dont know what a white athlete would be viewed like. Not well. The thing is Vick is really good. That matters too. If he were a backup gimmick guy, there would be less hate. Roethlisberger is vilified but not enough. I think id tend to agree. Ive been surprised with how little Roethlisberger has been targeted. |

Roethlisberger is a serial predator against women, yet he isn't as reviled as Vick. And what did Vick do? Participated in dogfighting, which- right or wrong- is considered a sport in certain places. I'm sure the racial component has something to do with it, but I think a love of dogs plays a bigger part. A lot of people like dogs more than humans. Ray Lewis participated in a murder and he isn't as hated as the dogfighter and they're both black. |

If you don't believe there was a major race element to the backlash of the Vick saga, you clearly don't know your country very well. How could you possibly get that from what I wrote? Of course there is a racial element, Im not sure how MAJOR it was. I know outside of the race factor, this country seems to look at Dogs as near human. I think thats misguided but has a lot to do with the backlash I just think its a silly way to think to say "No one can ever convince me ______" I dont think this country is any more racist than other countries though. Its a human problem, not an American one, IMO EDIT: I did not see JORR's points about human over love of dogs. He's right...as usual. |

I meant to say I think Roethlisberger should be getting more HEAT When I said I tend to agree, I meant agree with Cairo's thought about race making a difference |

But I just think in this particular case, the overriding factor in the continuing hatred of Vick is the love people have for dogs. |

I don't think he's actively being racist, but again, I believe that he (and others) wouldn't be as upset if the dogfighter in this case were a white player. |
