I think what we've ordsprog
 To pretend that many of us [in the media] didn't want McNabb to be the best quarterback in the NFL because he's black is absurd. To say that we shouldn't root for a quarterback to win because he's black is every bit as nonsensical as to say that we shouldn't have rooted for Jackie Robinson to succeed because he was black. (Please, I don't need to be reminded that McNabb's situation is not so difficult or important as Robinson's -- I'm talking about a principle.) Consequently, it is equally absurd to say that the sports media haven't overrated Donovan McNabb because he's black ... But the truth is that I and a great many other sportswriters have chosen for the past few years to see McNabb as a better player than he has been because we want him to be. |

| Black is not defined by the media: Tall T's, Saggy Pants, Icy Teeth or Style of Dance. Black is not defined by the media, it's defined by it's background,whether your past is in Steel Mills, or Cotton Fields; whether you bled or cried during struggles; whether you acknowledge it or not, Black is inside. Defined by your racial background,the blood that flows deep in your veins. Black is not defined by the media, so before you ask me if I'm Black, take a look at what Black was before. Before Rap, before Hip-Hop, before Blues became Rock 'n Roll, before slave masters commanded slave ships, Before Jesus came, even before the Hebrew's hardship, Black was Black. And they didn't need the media to tell them that. |
| I've never looked at Donovan McNabb as a black quarterback -- ever. |
Chris Berman (1955-)
| I don't think it raises concern. We still have to work together as a team, regardless of what the quarterback situation is. Just got to get with it and hope for the best. |
| It wasn't what they did, it was how they did it. They executed very well. And we didn't execute on defense. They blocked us fairly efficiently, and we didn't make plays when we had a chance. It was just a very poor performance from our defensive team. We're going to break it down and look at it every way we possibly can and learn from it and teach from it and then move forward and hope it is just one game. |
| We didn't play well, they played well. They deserve the credit that they get. That's an NCAA (Tournament) team, I don't think there's any question about that. |
| It was a hard fought, relatively quick game. We took advantage of several mistakes they made in the back. Overall, to shut a team down with a counter attack like Conroe's says a lot for our defense. They deserve the credit. |
| We couldn't make any shots and we didn't play very good defense in the first half, which got us in a hole. I give them credit - they're a heck of an offensive team. They're a tough team to guard. We shoot 38 percent and the other team shoots 53 percent, it makes it tough. |
| They are a never-quit team. I told my team when we were up 16 that they could come back. They deserve more credit than we do blame. |
| They've got three or four (future) pros on their team. People think we're the underdog, but we're going to play like we're the No. 1 team in the nation. We think we deserve a little more credit for what we do. |
| I thought our team played a very good team defensive game. Hatcher had a great year and we played very well in front of Marty, but you can't get numbers like that without having an unbelievable performance from your goaltender. Marty deserves a lot of credit for that. He's the guy who a lot of time dictates a lot of the equation as the last line of defense. |
| Our team has probably been the most resilient team in the history of college basketball. They've competed every night -- the players and coaches deserve the credit for that. |
| Personally it's an honor and I'm thankful for getting an award but it couldn't have been done without my team. It was totally a team effort so I don't think I deserve anymore credit than anyone else. |
