What did Matt Millen say?

[Ebenezer]

Does anybody have a clue what Matt Millen said about Ron Jaworski that he had to apologize on national TV during Day 3 of the live draft broadcast? I wasn't watching when it happened but sat down to eat lunch and he was apologizing. It was sandwiched in between a set of commercials.

:help:

called him a pollock

So what's the problem ?

[Ebenezer]

called him a pollock
he called him a fish? or did he mean the famous painter?

He means the slur for polish people.

Its equates to calling a black person the N word.

I grew up and live in Buffalo...I am more than aware...and was trying to make a joke since it's spelled 'polack'.

[Novacane]

I would not put it anywhere near the catagory of using the n word. I'm 1/4 polish and the word does not bother me at all. Political correctness run amuck.

I knew I spelled it wrong. I also knew you knew what I meant.

[Ebenezer]

I know...it just sounded like a good joke in my head.

And you are correct. I know plenty of Polish people (at least in Buffalo) who have never had a problem with the word.

Whether it bothers you personally or not is not the point.

The word is a slur, when we begin to weigh what slur is worse than others is when we begin to run into the PC issue that you mention above.

i'm polish and i don't give a **** who calls me a polack. it doesn't bother me a bit.

I'm not going to turn this into a spinzone thread. I'll just agree to disagree :up:

I hate being called "white" yet many people get away with using that word.

Agreed, you are free to your opinion just as I am to mine.

This is a weekend to celebrate anyways, its the dawning of a new era in Buffalo Bills football.

Personally I prefer "cracka"

You know, I was watching ESPN right then and as soon as I heard it I knew Millen was going to have to issue some sort of apology. I was surprised it was about an hour later on live TV.

That must have been a real comfortable conversation between Millen and the brass at ESPN to have.

[SaviorEdwards]

Matt Millen is the man!!!!! I'm glad he's doing college football games.

Calling your buddy or even yourself a polack is one thing. Using it on a national television broadcast to make fun of another person is another. It's not the fact of how offensive it is, it was just unprofessional. Yet funny as hell - especially since it was from Millen. And how that guys has a job doing anything is beyond me.

[Forward_Lateral]

Millen is a freaking moron. Hopefully he gets fired. I can't stand listening to his stupid face.

[PECKERWOOD]

Duh, we all knew that Jaworski is a Polack, what's the problem?

[Forward_Lateral]

I don't understand how ANYONE can take Millen's analysis seriously after the **** show he ran in Detroit. A ******ed ape knows more about football than that fat assclown.

that fat assclown is smarter than the ******ed ones in here.

[feldspar]

How many Matt Millens does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Three, cuz they're so darn stupid.


Does anyone take this guy seriously anymore after what he did in Detroit?

[SaviorEdwards]

Its funny that people don't know he's great on ESPN doing college football , was one of the great PSU linebackers of all time and won a superbowl with the raiders. Who cares about his GM days?

Man, I work with military dudes from Poland everyday and one of the first things I asked them, was "do you know what a polock is"? They looked at me like I had a dick on my forehead. No clue.

Barely.

[SABURZFAN]

Barely.


true but he wouldn't have fallen for this.

Is he a polack because him name ends with ski???

[Jan Reimers]

We've turned political correctness into insanity in this country. When the Hell did we all become so sensitive, so whiny and so lacking in any sense of humor?

i don't know but i don't like how jamze made Polish people look stupid. :mad:

[Forward_Lateral]

Am I the only one that finds the irony in Matt Millen as a draft analyst?
