And Cosby said...

Cos did not disappoint. .. and as a matter of fact I can’t even dog him out. Dr. Cosby gave the most clarity into his comments to date.

Bill’s acceptance speech for the NAACP Trumpet awards centered around his buddy who played for the Brooklyn Dodgers…

It was the day before his death, and Cos called to cheer him up.. he told Bill that he needed him to play the hot corner….

“Ladies and gentleman the hot corner is the most dangerous position in baseball, a position where the ball comes so fast, that if it hits a rock it can rip your face off… ‘I said buck, I played second base so I can play it safe.’ He said I need you to take the hot corner. I said I’ll do it, and he said, let’s go.”

I paraphrased him basically, but it was clearly bill saying that he has played it safe in his career and his recent comments were a response to his friend asking him to take on the hot corner. I actually felt sad for him.

My comments:

If you are admitting, Bill, that you have been playing it safe all this time, then you should recognize that you needed to get some advice on advocacy… how you go about putting it on the line for your people.

This, my friend, is not how you do it.

Damned if he does, and damned if he doesn't...LOL. Bill Cosby is a "Man For All Seasons"...LMAO.

First, he was a washed up old man who didn't know "what the f*ck he was talking about" and had no clue how to relate to urban culture or things as they were in 2007.

Then, he became the dude might've had some good points, if it weren't for the skeletons in his closet, i.e. the man in the glass house who threw rocks.

Then, he became the pitiable man who was only trying to honor a dying friend's request.

Now, he's being scoffed at for admitting that he was an Uncle Tom who played by the rules...

Apparently, there's a set procedure for advocacy these days. This is entertaining, to say the least...LOL
