I believe it was the pot-bellied Caste Larva, Boomer Esiason, who uttered "where do they find these guys?!"Â directly after Sharpe's lispy, racist comments regarding Edelman's punt return. Several weeks ago, Esiason stated that: "With Welker, Woodhead, and Edelman, the Patriots offense looks like an Ivy League team!"Â
Thrashem, I agree with everything you say in your post, but I'm on the fence about Boomer.
I'll tell you why. I don't have cable so I listen to radio broadcasts while working out or performing tasks around the house. Boomer often does games for Westwood One and one evening I tuned in to catch a Patriots game.
I was shocked at how complimentary he was to several of the White players on both teams.At a critical juncture of the game the Pats lined up Welker, Edelman and Woodhead, Boomer said this was going to be a huge mismatch because they were the quickest guys on the field. Previous to that comment he said Welker was a great player and uncoverable. It sticks in my mind because he was really gushing about them throughout the game.
He did say something like, "Where does Belichick find these guys?"
So, I'm thinking he really is impressed by them and would like to say, "Hey, look at these super quick, dynamite, athletic White players dominating the supposed uber affletes." "And why is Belichick the only coach willing to recruit players no one else is interested in?"
He would like to draw attention to the fact that they are White but can't do so for obvious reasons. It's safer to make a quip about Ivy League schools, and so forth. That way he draws attention to their color without raising red flags.
What do you think? I could be way off base, I guess.
