Ted, what's logical here? Is the NFL a non profit, do good social organization, or a profit motivated operation? The NFL is in the business of entertainment. Image is key. That's a motive for the execs to coerce teams into looking at more minority coaches and QBs. Think of a possible telephone conversation between Paul Tagliabue and an owner of a team. "Look, [so and so], I know you are looking for a coach who will bring you another Super Bowl championship. I'm just asking you to consider [insert name of black coach here]. He seems just as good as the guy you're considering now, don't you think?" If you still don't believe this happens, check this out: findjustice.com "NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue has responded to this situation with informal efforts to cajole team owners [into hiring more black coaches], but his efforts are far from adequate." Clearly there is a vested interest out there to see more blacks in the NFL succeed in coaching positions. And in QB positions as well, I might add. Hence, it's not a stretch to think that the media will treat black QBs with a little more favor. Tenchusatsu
