I think people have pointed out a hundred times over on what makes Goff racist. I have no problem with race related jokes. Goff is funny? Maybe bad delivery.

Why do you think he's racist?

No Goff isn't funny to me but I laugh occasionally.

Moving past race, I also think Goff is a chronic liar.

1. I think he eats leftovers. Leftovers came up in discussion and he just felt the need to say he doesn't eat leftovers.

2. He once claimed he knows gang members. I don't believe that. Gang members came up in a conversation and he felt the need to say that.

3. Yesterday he said he's been to many a Puerto Rican house parties in his day. Don't believe that either. The Puerto Rican baseball team came up and that popped into his mind to say.

Granted, these are lies that don't really hurt anybody. I just think his mind is always racing. And he always wants to say stuff. Always has a comment for everything. Stuff that he believes makes him more interesting. Maybe that's it. I don't know. Goff is a weird dude.

I love that this is where we are. "You're a liar! A goddamn liar! You do eat leftovers! I can prove it!"

_________________

That was kind of my point. There is no point to lie about not eating leftovers. But it just came into Goff's head. Something to say. He can't go idol on any topic. He's gotta say stuff about EVERYTHING.

I wouldn't say racist, but race-baiter. He read a column today comparing the NHL and NBA (how one caters to the fans while the other is stuck in "tradition"), and it was only a matter of time before Jason pontificated that potential fans reject hockey because the players "don't look like America" and at the same time many hockey fans are drawn to hockey because the players "don't look like America."

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

Wouldn't Goff's theory be the opposite since there are more white people in this country than black people. So wouldn't, in theory, hockey look more like America?

I don't get what he's saying.

If you go in thinking "he's a fucking idiot" it makes sense .

I guess. Talking before he thinks is one of his traits. Saying stuff just to say stuff. That's what Goff does.

Was this thread intended to replace Beardown's Viagra prescription?

Goff is a fucking idiot, that's why he's always talking out of his ass and babbling. ESPN will continue to wipe the floor with these Score clowns.

Or if America was so racist they would watch the NHL and leave the NBA in its dust. Anyway, with this article Dan made the good point of the factions in NHL fandom. Even if you thought you had to fix it there is no clear consensus as to what the problems are. In the end they took the easy way and assumed that people want more scoring. I know of no hockey fans that say it. Sure some like a 4-2 or 5-3 as opposed to a 1-0 or 2-1 but aside from a couple times a season no one wants 9-7, 7-5 or 6-1 on a regular basis.

Forgot to add Goff had one good take on the NHL and I think many fans agree. If the NHL is going to be this as it is today just be that. Don't pretend you want to be some big giant sensation that the NBA is and don't change yourself to cater. He is right but where he is wrong in my opinion it is casual sports fans and media calling for this giant NHL change and growth. It is not the hardcore fans and teams calling for it.

if that is the definition we are using, i don't see how anyone here has proved their dislike of goff is racism. i would agree that he isn't racist on that definition, but skin color superiority isn't what is driving today's cries of racism

I heard that. It's just such a stupid thought. Do NFL players "look like America"?

If someone had said there are too many black people in the NBA, and it's holding back its popularity it would have been the topic of his show for a week. Goff says the NHL is not popular because it's too white, after reading an article that PK Subban is the most exciting player in the league and criticizing the NHL for not marketing itself properly. It's just such a backwards thought.

Don't forget to point out that no one thinks PK Subban is the MOST exciting player in the league.

Goff stinks. He is not good enough to be on Chicago radio.

He is just another wannabe Bernstein clone.

Sounds like he has convinced Bernstein to step out and get baked with him from time to time, but it really does nothing for the show.

Ha. You are just saying that because he doesn't look like you. If someone looks different from you then you can't appreciate their talents.

I will play the Bernsie talking NBA equivalent now: He's just a guy.

McDude works on a daily basis in areas and with people that Goff claims to travel in and with.

If anyone here might know, methinks that it would be McDude.

Goff had made a statement like 2 weeks ago on how he was being called out about bringing up race all the time. He denied doing that. Every day he is on the air, there are AT LEAST 3 topics he brings race up in FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER.

There's no denying Goff brings up race in situations that aren't in any need of it. Multiple times, every show. I'm an old white guy so I know my view isn't welcome but too bad. It's the truth.
