Would your mother be proud knowing that her son spends his time pretending to be racist on the internet to make other men upset? When you were a child and you thought of who you'd be as an adult is this it? Are you proud of what you've accomplished? Would your mother be proud?

wow - first off, i'm black - secondly, my mother died when i was 7 - and thirdly, don't be such a douche.

i was making a somewhat self-deprecating comment about my culture, and you (who is probably white) thinks he can tell me what IS racist and what ISN'T racist. until you've lived the life i have, you don't KNOW what racism is.

My understanding is that Phil as a half million dollar bet with Eric Lindgren that Phil will beat him in a round of golf (or was it 72 holes, I'm not sure) sometime in the next 10 years. I used to be a golf pro, and I've never seen Lindgren play, but Phil is going to need ALL TEN YEARS to make that bet .

I remember a segment was shown during the Turning Stone Casino event on FSN where Erick Lindgren, Josh Arieh, and Michael Konik were all golfing. Erick & Josh looked absolutely terrible if that means anything to you. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Thank you,

This was a very interesting story/interview. One part I really got a kick out of is when Phil talked about how he had to "grind it out" at the $75/100 stud games during the week just to take a shot at the $400/800 stud games on the weekend. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

What is wrong with what he said? I grew up playing basketball and eating corn bread/watermelon. Im of European descent and im not offended by what he has said nor is there anything racist about it.

Go to Harlem and say what he said....see what happens...

[/ QUOTE ]

What the hell do you mean "see what happens?" Aren't you being a bit stereotypical to assume that random black people are going to rough him up if he says something offensive. Because I bet black people in Harlem do that. They beat white people up. All the time.

i lived in harlem for about 2 years, that statement would get your ass kicked (or on the brink of it) about 9/10 times--as it should.

I think he also said that Jay Heimowitz personnaly kept him broke for like a year when Phil would grind out the 100-200 or so and take shots in the 300-600, where Jay would pwn him.
