Polish Power!!!


Recommended Posts

Babatunde Aiyegbusi's T-shirt declares "I'M KIND OF A BIG DEAL," as if anyone in this shopping complex coffee shop wouldn't have noticed.

 

The massive Polish offensive tackle is listed at 6-9 and 351 pounds on the Minnesota Vikings' roster, and his American dream is outsized to match, weeks after he became one of the most improbable prospects ever to ink an NFL contract.

 

"He was like, 'Are you not happy?' I said, 'I will be happy when I put (Houston Texans star) J.J. Watt to the ground.''

Yea but how many 6'9" polish guys does it take to change a light bulb?

 

two. One to unscrew the old one and another to screw in the new one.

 

 

Not cool here in Buffalo :thumbdown: you just lost my respect

He can't be a native Pole with that name. Did he immigrate from Africa?

He might never play in the NFL, but no need to insult the young man

How did I insult him? All I said was he didn't have a Polish name. Reading the article it says his dad is Nigerian. Hence the name, but he was born in Poland. Edited by PromoTheRobot

Just mention offense tackle list at 6-9 and 351 pounds is impressive enough. His nationality does not add to his resume. It is like saying EJ Manuel the black QB. It is not necessary. :)

Big lineman doesn't automatically mean he can play. It reminds me of Mike Williams.

It reminds me of when Mandarich said (as a rookie) that he was going to rip Bruce Smith's face off. How did that work out?

They refer to him as "Polish" not because he is of Polish decent (many of us are), but because he is a native of Poland.

 

Incidentally, I had no idea that Janikowski was born in Poland.

I believe that USA article mentioned that his mother is Polish. Therefore he is of Polish descent. Surname notwithstanding.

it's not that he is Polish (actually half) but that he actually comes from Poland that makes him unique as not many foreign born players make it to the NFL.

 

Believe it or not in this PC fantasy world, ethnicity still is an important way of identifying ones self.
