Apparently, the jock-sniffers in the media are having a field day with "white boy" Madison Hedge****'s end zone celebration last Sunday. I saw a clip of it, and actually thought it was pretty clever, in the same way that the theatrics of black media darlings like "Ocho Cinco" and T.O. are clever. After his brief "rowing" like act in the end zone, the cameras flashed to the sidelines, where injured starter Brandon Jacobs was beside himself with glee, holding onto some black coach as both laughed hysterically at this hopeless, rhythym challenged "white boy."
I saw a brief discussion about it on ESPN's "First Take" this morning. Two of their newest black talking heads (are there any other kind being hired?), Kordell Stewart and Jamal Anderson, were extremely amused by it, as all affletes are when "white boys" try to dance. In this case, however, Hedge**** wasn't trying to dance. He was actually being creative, which is normally a trait highly prized in all the countless black players who score TDs and come up with wild and crazy ways to celebrate afterwards. However, Anderson especially also got serious and really seemed to suggest that Hedg**** didn't have the right to do anything like this. I guess it's just a black thing- you wouldn't understand.
Obnoxious host Dana Jacobson- you know, that one who slandered Jesus in such an obscene way a few months back and was barely slapped on the wrist- chimed in with the line "this was just like Mark Madsden trying to dance." Yes, that's right, Dana- always compare one lame "white boy" with some other lame "white boy."
Personally, I don't know why any white player feels the need to mimic the childish, absurd behavior of their black peers. However, I certainly understand why Hedge**** was excited; how often does he get to touch the ball, let alone score? Meanwhile, on a sad and related note, finely toned ex-NFL player Warren Sapp continues to charm the nearly all white crowds with his attractive prowess on "Dancing With The Stars."
