Hey, I'm not sure if you got the memo, but wrestling is scripted. And fake. "Dwayne being racist towards Asians"? Really? Are you proposing that Leonardo DiCaprio is a racist because he read the scripted lines in Django Unchained?

Uh, go back and review the transcript. Quattro brought up Joe Rogan in post #45.

It was the pants, wasn't it?

Not trying to extend the metaphor or anything, but regardless of viewpoint, people should be watching "We Need to Talk About Cosby" on Showtime. An absolutely fascinating multi-person discussion that wrestles with one man's enormous legacy of doing both very good things and very bad things over...

Fair enough. I only put "you and I" into the scenario because you and I and Dwayne have similar educational backgrounds, and could easily find ourselves in a common social setting. I wasn't trying to suggest that either you or I would use coarse language. I should have clearly included a...

I'm not saying you do or don't know who you are. I'm merely suggesting that anyone's assumptions about who Dwayne Johnson is, or how he would react, may not be consistent with their own fantasies of who they want him to be. Not you. Quattro and others. "Being afraid of the woke mob" and...

So you think that Dwayne Johnson knew all the comments Rogan had previously made about black people over the past decade AND had no problems with what he said? I'll take that bet. Just an honest question, if you and I and Dwayne were hanging out at a UM alum function, and one of us started...

No problem-o. I'm just very confused as to whatever horrible thing Dwayne has said or done to "betray" or "turn his back" on a friend. As opposed to, you know, saying the n-word and making racist jokes over a 10 year period. I mean, why would anyone "turn their back" on someone who does that?

Now you are just being dopey. Dwayne Johnson did not "support an alleged friend", he complimented Rogan on the language of his apology on COVID misinformation. Furthermore, there is nothing wrong with an African-American being bothered upon the subequent discovery of a decade's worth of use of...

Sounded like a total clown? He did the same schtick that he did in the WWE for a decade. If you want to blame anyone, then you should blame the NFL for setting that one up. Does anyone think that there was even one word of his introduction which was not scripted in advance and approved by the...

Exactly. It's so shocking that Dwayne Johnson, with an African-American father, might take issue with Rogan once he found out about all of the times that Rogan used the n-word and told stories where he compared being in a black neighborhood to being "in the Planet of the Apes". But, yes, we...

Wrong, wrong, wrong. "When he graduated in 1990, Johnson was one of the top 10 defensive tackles in the country, widely sought after by college teams, for which he credits [COACH JODY] Cwik. He went on to play football at the University of Miami and the Canadian Football League before...

Well, Warren is wrong. Dwayne enrolled at UM in 1990 and Warren enrolled in 1991. Warren redshirted in 1991 as a TE, his jersey number was 84. He didn't switch to DT, and #76, until his second year, when Mark Caesar switched from 76 to 99 to honor Jerome Brown, who had just passed away...

Sorry, I misunderstood, I thought you were saying that Erickson injured him (that would have been weird). Yes, the injury was in practice, and the first season of Young Rock was all filmed and aired in 2020-2021 before Mario became our head coach. My mistake.

I don't think that was in the show. I've seen every episode. He did get injured and Warren passed him up, and Erickson did encourage him to go into coaching. I think all of that was also mentioned on the show.

He has a sitcom on NBC. Second season will be starting in a few weeks.
