Here’s a better comparison:

Here’s the definitive picture of Samardzija:

Howard Stern

Does anyone realize that Notre Dame has SEVEN non-Afro-American wide receivers on the roster, which has to be some kind of NCAA record: J.S., Matt Sheldon who is the 3rd wideout and looks eerily like Brady Quinn in his headshot photo, Chase Anastasio who is a special teams guy listed as WR, and other WR listees Brandon Erickson, Michael O’Hara, Nick Possley, and Rob Woods (and I’ve never seen any of those guys play).

Obviously DeBerry and Paterno don’t happen to realize this, otherwise they might start convulsing and foaming at the mouth.

This is disturbing. I think I won’t sleep tonight.

Did anyone see his post-game interview? The guy sounded like Rocky Balboa. Not trying to insult him – he’s real good and fun to watch. Him being the “go to” guy reminds a little of Golden Richards in the 70’s who I think used to play for the Dallas Cowboys or Biletnikoff for the Raiders. On 3rd downs and at the goal line I’m screaming at the TV “Cover the tall white guy with long hair”(I can’t pronounce his name) but he caught the passes anyway.

I’m thinking The King Of All Media, Howard Stern may have spent a few “lonely” nights in the midwest!

Jeff is a golden god!

You can probably go ahead and add Samardzija to a looooonnnng list of ND All-Americans.

Real quickly, I am a Notre Dame Alum, and we really don’t care whether Jeff is “Afro American” or not. Our boys are our boys. PERIOD. I think it’s ridiculous that this has to even be mentioned. We have always had plenty of great “Caucasian” and “Afro American” players. That’s why our receiving corps wears shirts that say “AFROS” which stands for “America’s Finest Receivers on Saturdays”. Nowhere does it mention whether those receivers are caucasian or afro american.

Hmmm…maybe you missed the DeBerry thing last week.

OS – I didn’t miss it, I just don’t think everyone else should pay so much attention to something b/c of the ignorance of others. I am black/African-American (I don’t really like any of the terms but oh well) and I wasn’t offended per se by their comments, I just thought they were stupid. I really didn’t understand the purpose so I chose to ignore it… until this board mingled that foolishness w/ my alma mater. In any event, I was just making note, but I’m not upset, bitter, etc. I just love sports, football especially, and hate it when people mar the game w/ stupidity like that.

why is it that when anyone says “real quickly” it’s a sure bet that it’s the longest comment up there. smarjklfsoja does sounds like rocky after 10 rounds w/ drago, and all he does is catch touchdowns, the next chris carter? He’s definatly on my AFROS team.

The reference was purely a jab at DeBerry and odd use of the “Afro-American” over “African American” or “black.” Plus it’s a way to highlight announcers continual emphasis of Samardzija’s “lack of speed” or his status as a “possession receiver” in Weis’ offense.

Dude catches balls and makes people look silly-white, black, yellow, whatever color they are. So please, continue visiting—we’d hate to lose our fifth female reader.

dude has been good this season…maybe the domers should give hair guy a new contract, like 10 years 50 mil…

The funny thing about Samardzija is that he’s pretty fast for his height.

Weis nicked him in his presser today, saying he wouldn’t have been caught on that 73 yard pass if he hadn’t tried to stiffarm the guy chasing him.

He actually appears to be faster than his ‘Afro American’ 6’5" teammate, Stovall. He’s listed at 4.5 on Rivals, Stovall listed at 4.3, but that’s a crock. He’s 4.6-4.7 at best, even at his new weight.

The whole subtle stereotyping of white players in the NCAA is pretty sad. Samardzija’s teammate and another of EDSBS’s favorites, Tom Zbikowski, holds like 10 track records in the state of Illinois, yet Pat Haden says he isn’t fast on the NBC broadcast. Yeah, a 10.4 100M is pretty goddamn slow, Pat.
