This week's SI has a four page article bashing. . . Tony Mandarich. SI continues the 20 year campaign of ridicule and hate the media has been waging against Mandarich ever since SI put him on the front cover and called him "the best offensive line prospect ever."
The article is titled "Tony Mandarich is Very, Very Sorry." Tony must explain again, in excruciating detail, how he used steroids at Michigan and how he became an alcoholic.ÂÂ
They just never let it go, do they? And with the NFL Draft just around the corner, get ready for a spate of articles on draft busts, concentrating as always on, all together now: Tony Mandarich, Ryan Leaf, Heath Shuler, Brian Bosworth, and Mike Mamula. The hundreds of first round black busts of the past 20 years are long forgotten except for a couple trotted out so that the list isn't totally White.ÂÂ
And though the NFL is most likely full of steroids users, most of them black, keep hammering away at a white man who used them 20 years ago. Shawn Merriman & Co. must be having a good laugh.
Let's see, 2009 marks ten years since SI ruined John Rocker's career and turned him into a permanent devil. Surely that monumental anniversary won't be allowed to slip by later this year without all kinds of vicious reminiscing by a number of "white" and Jewish pundits.
