Kingfish Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 Did anyone else think that DeMontie Cross (Assistant Linebackers Coach/Special Teams) was Perry Fewell? http://www.buffalobills.com/team/coaches/d...69-83a9088a3f99
RayFinkle Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 Is this some type of attempt at humor stereotyping african americans that is going over my head?

banjo moe Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 Is this some type of attempt at humor stereotyping african americans that is going over my head? Hopefully he is referring to some local news clips from earlier in the season where thye spoke about Perry Fewell but showed video footage of Demontie Cross. I do remember thinking that they were not showing Fewell in their footage.
Kingfish Posted November 18, 2009 Author Posted November 18, 2009 Is this some type of attempt at humor stereotyping african americans that is going over my head? No. For the last 3 and a half seasons whenever the broadcast teams talked about Fewell they would always show DeMontie Cross so when I watch tonites presser I was thinking "Who the hell is this guy?"

Now, THAT is NOT Perry Fewell, that is your boy Demontie... Two things: 1) I don't select the photos. That work is done in Bristol, and when I'm done with a story, it can be hours before I look at it again. 2) The wire service is the entity that identified the person in that photo as Perry Fewell. Our editors enter search terms into a photo library, and computer searches the captions attached by the wire services. The editor trusted the caption.
