Wanted him to talk about the Jefferson Street Joe Gilliam starting situation when he went in on Terry Bradshaw. He admitted sports aren't his thing so PBT may not even know who that is. If he googled some Bradshaw stuff it may come up. I know he googled the Antonio Browns dad stuff because that Arena career was news to me. RIP Joe Gilliam.

"Heading into the 1974 season, Terry Bradshaw was a four-year veteran. He had taken over the Steelers quarterback position and led the team to a combined 19-4 record in 1972 and 1973. His numbers were fairly pedestrian, but it also seemed as if he had locked down his position four years after the Steelers had made him the No. 1 overall draft pick.

Except Bradshaw hadn't. Instead, after striking for a week during the preseason, he lost his job at the beginning of the 1974 regular season to a man named Joe Gilliam, who became one of the first African Americans to start at quarterback. But coach Chuck Noll didn't proclaim Gilliam the starter 40 years ago out of any sense of social progress or because Bradshaw and others had been part of a players strike.

No, Noll said that Gilliam simply was the best man to start at quarterback for the Steelers.

"What Joe did during preseason he deserves to start," Noll said at the beginning of the season,"

He goes harder than jason black sometimes.:whew: I am glad he started making longer videos.
He's more laws type than Jason. I like him a lot. Doesn't do a lot of shows
:yeshrug: I prefer Professor BlackTruth over Jason Black because he's a world history buff & often uses his knowledge of history in his videos.



:ohhh:I'm 9 minutes into his latest video & he's talked about what happened to black Germans during Nazi Germany, Queen Elizabeth expelling The Moors from England in 1596, & the fact that Jews had been kicked out 300 years earlier than that.
