CBS James Brown Awesome pre-game commentary

That JB piece and his final comments were perfect, especially in comparison to the ESPN clip I saw today (basically still raised questions as to whether or not Taylor's past lead to this, IMO) and these clueless CBS announcers. How did they not realize why the D came out with only 11 men?

Is this open for disscussion or will I get jumped?

Is what open for discussion? If you're going to claim his ties to the U caused his death you'll get jumped for sure

This thread is about JB's comments let's leave it at that.

gotcha.

Especially with his comment on how can people say that they "weren't suprised." JB is a great commentator. Maybe he can replace Gumbell on NFLN before Thursday?That's exactly the statement I'm talking about. Brown may as well have said "Wilbon, you're a callous a-hole". Only he did it with the usual class and dignity that we always see from J.B.

(Lifted this from ES)

Here is a transcript of JB's comments:

"Let me add my personal observations. An awful lot has been written and said about Sean Taylor over the past week. A young man without a doubt made mistakes, some foolish, some egregious and some immature and in no way am I looking to triviolize his transgressions or excuse them. But are those reasons enough for some to be so insensitive, so quick and I think so inaccurate in sterotyping Sean Taylor as a bad apple, or that the end he met with was not a surprise. A group of burgulers break into HIS HOUSE and surprise to find him there and end his life? Now by all accounts as we've heard from all those who actually knew him well, Taylor did an awful lot of maturing over the last year and a half. For those who have been mature for a lot longer than that, exercising restraint in passing such callaous and harmful judgement would seem to be in order..."

^ Thanks for posting it, SS.

Echo everyone's comments here. JB said what truly needed to be said. Great job from a class act.

i thought he did a nice job too... it was absolutely pitiful after the initial reports of his death that so many wanted to exalt themselves by pointing fingers at the victim...

Its just as classless as saying a rape victim "asked for it" by dressing a certain way or wearing makeup.... actually more so because its a murder victim.

I didn't see Brown's comments, but so glad there was a class act among the bunch. Wilbon's patronizing this week was more than I could take -- tool.

Could someone summarize Jim's commentary a bit more? thx.
