Jalen Rose pulled off air

[Dpantherman]

He made is Uncle Tom comments in past tense. Meaning that was what he THOUGHT, not what he THINKS now. Not sure why that is even being brought up.

[TheRealDeal]

He should know that he is in the public eye and shouldn't make those comments at all. If he wants to that's fine, but he should be aware that it could rub people the wrong way and that an employer might not want that attention on their company

[dimbee]

Yeah, Rose was just keeping it real. Unlike those Uncle Tom's at Duke who keep their noses way too clean.

DUIke, you mean?

[Happy Panther]

I think Rose is a great commentator

[pstall]

to me Rose is similar to Bilas in the sense he says alot in a short amount of time. hard to do.

Rose has bad timing on this one tho. ESPN has been nailed in the past for letting things slide and this comes up.

He will be back and not lose his job.

that was an espn doc though. if they didnt want it to air, they could have cut it out.

[TheRealDeal]

True but it could have been just something they didn't appreciate then with the DUI it could have pushed them over the limit.

I actually like Rose when he talks about basketball but I'm not sure what others think since I only really follow the Lakers and don't watch many basketball news/analysis shows.

[Dpantherman]

from what i read it was the fact that he waited 3 weeks after the fact to tell espn whhat happened. at least thats what Yahoo Sports said

[YourMomsLover]

Ummm NO! First on to hit the fan...Shannon Sharpe

Who cares about the commentators? I could care less if they were nazis spouting racist propoganda on air.

Umm I care.. I have to listen to these guys everyday pregame.

Your thinking: Ah hell man! I dont give a poo what kind of poo they talk about my Panthers! As long as my Panthers are winning. Right?

Funny that the only pro Panther commentator is Jon Gruden himself.

[jtnc]

Shaq would be a great replacement. He's shown interest being an commentator during NBA all-star weekend.
