I'm surprised there isn't already a running thread about this. There's a good bit to talk about.

I DVR'd it and I'm watching it now, did anyone catch the guy ask Derek Mason if there's additional pressure on him for being black? What in the world?

Wow. What did he say, or did he just ignore the question?

Surprisingly he handled it very well. He basically said "I'm a football coach and that has nothing to do with my ethnicity. I wasn't hired because I'm black and that's irrelevant to my position."

Good for him. Stupid arse liberal reporter....please pardon the redundancy.

How would you expect him to handle it? He may be Vandy's coach, but he's not a moron.

Yeah the idiot should have been fired on the spot by whoever he is employed by - its clowns like him that fan the race flames

Oh man Saban just beechslapped Finebaum over the Cam Robinson situation. Hilarious. That should be on Youtube soon. Epic!

I'm glad that Finebaum asked the question. It needed to be asked. Saban really went off on him, after the segment.

And we get a lawsuit when our coach kicks players off the team for crap like this....

I hate Saban and bama just like everyone else but at least he has the gnads to stand up for the player and not punish him until its proven he committed a crime. No its not popular and paints target on your back but its the right thing for the player.
