Flashback to Thanksgiving 2012 when the Patriots scored 35 straight points against the Jets in the second quarter at MetLife Stadium.

ESPN has been letting Rex Ryan get way too comfortable saying some really suspect stuff, but since he is speaking down on black athletes, there is no outrage, no screams for apologies, and his colleagues just sit up there like they are scared to check him.

Rex Ryan had a cute little outburst on ESPN about Shedeur Sanders and his comments last week. “This kid talks and he runs his mouth. Like he said, 'I can be a starting quarterback' with his arms crossed like this. Get your ass in the front row and study and do all that. If I know, the whole league knows. Quit being an embarrassment that way. You've got the talent to be the quarterback, you should be. You should be embarrassed that you're not the quarterback now.” First of all, ESPN must be hurting for ratings worse than we thought. You’re discussing an entire slate of great NFL games that just took place, and you dedicate airtime on the Browns third-string rookie QB? Second, what was Shedeur supposed to say when he was asked whether or not he felt he was ready to play? He’s put in an unfair position every time he’s asked a question because his answer will be used against him no matter what he says. Finally, why should Shedeur be “embarrassed” that he’s not the starter right now? The Browns were starting the season with a veteran no matter what—either Joe Flacco or Kenny Pickett. Should Jaxson Dart have been embarrassed that he started the season behind Russell Wilson? Dart was a first rounder, so surely Rexy Boy had an even bigger outburst about him? These national media people are a joke. They’ll tell you Shedeur is a fifth-round rookie and shouldn’t be starting, then turn around and say he should be embarrassed that he’s not already playing.
