Trent Williams’ Silverback nickname makes John Thompson uncomfortable | ProFootballTalk (http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/08/10/trent-williams-silverback-nickname-makes-john-thompson-uncomfortable/)
Geesh. Does EVERYTHING have to be twisted into racism? I though this President made us a post-racial society...he said so!
Look at a Silverback Gorilla....a huge, muscular, feared beast who can't be taken down. It's a comparison any lineman would want, no matter his skin color.
I never once called Willliams this with any hint of racism or thought of his skin color on my mind. I think Thompson is buying into the Jackson/Sharpton "cry racism for 15 minutes of attention" tactic. I thought he was better than that.

I think there might be something to Trent's perception of a generation gap. I understand Thompson's take but I also understand Trent's.

Of course the ages of the two will cause them to see it differently, but Thompson is the one who publicly brought up the racial accusations against "white folks".
Where have I heard that before? Oh yeah, "White folds greed runs a world in need..."

Kinda LOL:
Jets safety LaRon Landry (http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/07/23/laron-landry-will-start-training-camp-on-the-pup-list/) has insisted all offseason that he will be physically ready for the start of the regular season. The Jets announced Monday that Landry is one of four players they have placed on the physically-unable-to-perform list as they prepare to head up to Cortland for camp.
