Buftex Posted February 20, 2005 Posted February 20, 2005 Not that it matters, but does anyone know if JP is jewish? He certainly looks like he could be, and the last name could be too! Before you all get uppity, I have part jewish heritage, and am proud of it, even though I was raided Catholic! Just curious if anyone knows!
ajzepp Posted February 20, 2005 Posted February 20, 2005 I think his mom is Hispanic......not sure about his father.
Thailog80 Posted February 21, 2005 Posted February 21, 2005 I don't care what he is..........JUST WIN!
RVJ Posted February 21, 2005 Posted February 21, 2005 He's an American citizen and made of flesh and blood.

nodnarb Posted February 21, 2005 Posted February 21, 2005 be honest and tell us if you think his race or nationality is important to you

stevestojan Posted February 21, 2005 Posted February 21, 2005 be honest and tell us if you think his race or nationality is important to you 246997[/snapback] it is to me. i hear most jews can throw a hell of a long ball.
TigerJ Posted February 21, 2005 Posted February 21, 2005 I think most of his looks are due to his Mexican heritage.
Rubes Posted February 21, 2005 Posted February 21, 2005 it is to me. i hear most jews can throw a hell of a long ball. 247001[/snapback] It's true, I can launch that sucker at least as good as Elway.
Zamboni Man Posted February 21, 2005 Posted February 21, 2005 It's true, I can launch that sucker at least as good as Elway. 247033[/snapback] Back in '82 I could throw a football a quarter mile.
Buftex Posted February 21, 2005 Author Posted February 21, 2005 be honest and tell us if you think his race or nationality is important to you 246997[/snapback] Okay, I will be painfully honest. I think his race or nationality is important to me, or I probably wouldn't have asked. If he is not jewish, it would not make a difference to me, I will pull for anyone wearing a Bills uniform. I was interested more from a personal stand point (as I stated, half my family is jewish), I thought it would be cool to be able to tell my nephew, when I am trying to turn him into a Bills fan, that he and JP have something in common. There have not been a lot of prominent jewish figures in NFL history (although Marv is jewish). The kid gets picked on from time to time, for being jewish. The fact that this is being misconstrued as some racist thing is idiotic... what are you afraid if you find out he is, you won't be able to root for him?

Buftex Posted February 21, 2005 Author Posted February 21, 2005 Jay Fiedler, a potential back up is Jewish Or wait, did you mean prominent in a positive light 247080[/snapback] Yeah, preferably the non-Miami Dolphin (hopefully never a Bill) variety!

Before you all get uppity, I have part jewish heritage, and am proud of it, even though I was raided Catholic! Just curious if anyone knows! 246821[/snapback] raided Catholic, I like that. Sid Luckman was Jewish. Benny Friedman, who just elected into the Hall of Fame, was Jewish. Hebrews, lets be proud of our players.
Losman-McGahee-Evans Posted February 21, 2005 Posted February 21, 2005 I think I read somewhere that he's Billish but was raised as an orthodox bad-assish. I think he's found the same religion as Jim Kelly and attend the Church of Winning.
Chalkie Gerzowski Posted February 21, 2005 Posted February 21, 2005 Raided Catholic? The Inquisition show up at your house?
