Not that the Pro Bowl matters...but DeAndre Levy was also a pretty damn big snub. He's 3rd in the NFL with 140 total tackles and leads the league with 109 solo stops. Also, Golden Tate probably deserved the nod over Calvin Johnson this year, which is saying something.

"If a player wasn't as good as he is, it wouldn't be a snub when he didn't make the Pro Bowl roster."

this is like when people say 'well there are starving kids in africa'

Man, I thought rappers were just scary patronizing jerks out to make White women feel bad.

He's also a recovering drug addict trying to get his life back together. I'm willing to root for that and hold out hope that he can change for the better instead instead of just demanding he spend a thousand years burning in the fiery pits of Mordor.

Likewise. My point was that he was saying Q-Tip was being patronizing while being patronizing to me. And you are, too.

Why would they offer that? It's not like Jim Harbaugh to have ever hit a Target in his lifetime.

Thank you so much! As a life long hip hop fan, I certainly had no idea who he was referring to with the whole 8 Mile thing. What would I do without you?!

You failed to mention the enclosed $49 million Target gift card.

Yeah I saw that comment. Your point of view is sad and extremely dismissive, especially to black voices who use Twitter because that is often the ONLY way they have to reach out and get people to hear them. If your first reaction to a black man reaching out to talk about something as powerful as slavery to the…

"Why would someone pick up a phone and dial all those numbers when you could just hop on your horse and trot over to their house to tell them what you want to tell them?" —You, 100 years ago.

1. Because twitter is the medium through which all of this started, and the only one where it can be guaranteed Iggy would see his message.

Q-Tip is WELL over the age of 25. He's using an effective medium. And Jezebel put it into a nice little essay form for you, so I don't see what the problem is.

Considering many "wall o' texts" are immediately, and decidedly, met with tl;dr dismissals these days (particularly by the people who would benefit from the read), I'd say breaking his essay down to easily readable and digestible 140 character chunks was the better move.

It's not an get off my lawn thing. You just don't get it.
