Don’t smile. Don’t pout. Stay medium. Dance for the media. Roy Wood Jr. points out the “can’t win either way” hypocrisy of the football press when it comes to how players should act and react on sidelines and in the locker-room.

So the CBS Thursday Night Football circus comes to town this week – Redskins vs. Giants. And we’ll just have to see how many times, or even IF ol’ Phil Simms says the dreaded, evil, racist, hateful, hurtful, totally insensitive worst word in the world: REDSKINS. He has said this summer that he basically “won’t” […] Read more
