It seemed like LJ was throwing Vermeil under the bus. Costas kept trying to make that point with Carter, who would then seem to get really pissed off and categorically deny that was what LJ was doing without explaining why. They implied that LJ felt he was always waiting on the bench while some clueless white coach like Vermeil or Paterno just could not recognize that untapped talent. To me, I'm thinking anyone with a healthy Priest Holmes, is going to keep any untried rookie on his bench until he has to play him. Overall the whole thing seemed kind of sour and racist and it made me think how something like that would go if the black coach was losing the way Dennis Green has here. IMHO, for the most part, arguments about race are settled out on the field by winning. You might just barely, be able to get away with an interview like that in KC when they are still in the playoffs hunt. But only because of the success, not because most people agree with it.
