ESPN commentator Rob Parker's explosive and racially charged remarks about Washington Redskins rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III on the morning show "First Take" Thursday were "inappropriate," according to the network, which said in a statement that it would "evaluate its next step."
Parker, who is African-American, stammered through a segment which started with him asking himself if the former Heisman Trophy winner is "a brother or a cornball brother."
Parker's exact words on the broadcast:
"My question which is just a straight honest question: Is he a brother or is he a cornball brother?" Parker asked.
"What does that mean? Explain that," other members of the panel pushed.
"He's not real. He's black, he kind of does the thing. But he's not really down with the cause. He's not one of us. He's kinda black, but he's not really like the guy you really want to hang out with because he's off into something else."
"Why is that your question?" the host asked Parker.
"Because that's how I - I want to find out about him. I don't know because I keep hearing these things. We all know he has a white fiance. There was all this talk about he's a Republican. There's no information at all - I'm just trying to dig deeper into why he has an issue. Because we did find out with Tiger Woods, Tiger Woods was like, 'I got black skin, but don't call me black.' People got a little wondering about him early on.
Skip Bayless then chimed in with another loaded question: "What do RG3's braids say to you?"
Parker responded: "Now that's different. Because to me, that's very urban and makes you feel like - I think he would have a clean cut, if he was more straight-laced or not like - wearing braids is, you're a brother. You're a brother if you got braids on."
"Stephen A., what's your take on this?" a host asks.
The normally loquacious host seemed at a loss after Parker's diatribe, saying: "First of all, let me say this: I'm uncomfortable with where we just went."
ESPN spokesman Mike Soltys (@espnmikes) tweeted a statement: "Have been asked for comment on Rob Parker comments: The comments were inappropriate and we are evaluating our next steps."
Griffin has hardly avoided the race issue, speaking eloquently on the subject in a recent Comcast SportsNet video posted on December 3.
When asked about being an African-American and the star quarterback in Washington D.C., Griffin responded:
“Whenever you can relate to the population of the team that you play for, I think it makes it that much more special. I don’t play too much into the color game, because I don’t want to be the best African-American quarterback, I want to be the best quarterback. But to the fans, and to the fans who think that way and look at me as an African-American, it’s important that I succeed, not only for this team, but for them. Because it gives them that motivation, that hey, you know, an African-American went out and played quarterback for my Washington Redskins. So I appreciate that, I don’t ever downplay anything like that. Whoever I can go out every week and motivate to do better and to try to go after their dreams, I’m up for that.”
Was Rob Parker out of line?

Last night's 12-12-12 Hurricane Sandy relief concert at New York's Madison Square Garden featured big time stars like Alicia Keys, The Who, Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney, Jon Bon Jovi, the Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, Roger Waters from Pink Floyd and Chris Martin from Coldplay. But all everybody seems to want to talk about is Kanye West'sskirt.
The 35-year old rapper wore a black leather skirt-like bottom over his pants paired with a black hoodie during his 20-minute performance.
Yeezy's outfit caught the attention of many on Twitter including Cam'ron who tweeted, "Pyrex and a skirt? Sh*t ain't adding up And if u co-sign this I'm blocking u!! Straight up. Ima have to save us."
Kanye wore similar outfits all throughout his Watch the Throne tour with Jay-Z and nobody seemed to say much then.
Isabel Wilkinson of The Daily Beast wrote, "Is our collective amnesia so great that we can't remember that Kanye's worn a leather skirt 1,000 times before?"
A KanyesSkirt Twitter account also popped up last night and has over 1400 followers so far.
What do you think of all the chatter about Kanye's skirt? Are people overreacting?

T.I. recently sat down with "Say Anything" host Joy Behar to talk about a variety of topics. While not glamorizing prison life, Tip did acknowledge that his jail stints have given him a higher media profile.
"It's a double edged sword. Although I'm not condoning or trying to bring any glamour to the fact that I went to prison. But I must acknowledge that I'm a whole lot more popular now," Tip admitted. "When you're on CNN and MSNBC and all these things - I can't buy that kind of publicity. However if I had to do it all again I'd definitely give it all back."
Joy then asked T.I. what he thought of Rihanna and Chris Brown getting back together.
"I know they a lot of genuine love for one another," the Grand Hustle CEO said. "I don't think that either of them would the other and go somewhere else and find someone that would make them as happy."
Although he and Chris are friends, Tip made it clear he wouldn't let one of his daughters date the superstar if he could help it.
"Absolutely not," T.I. said at the thought of one of his daughters going out with the singer. "But if my daughter is grown what can I say?"

If you're a member of the Ukrainian parliament fighting skills come in handy.
Deputies from opposition and pro-government parties blocked the first session of Ukraine's parliament on Wednesday (December 12) after numerous fights erupted in the parliament chamber.
Scuffles erupted when members of several parties approached the stand simultaneously and attempted to push each other out of the way.
At one moment a majority of those gathered in the parliament chamber stood up and joined in. Deputies could be seen pulling each other by their clothes, pushing and shoving.
A few members of parliament attempted to climb into the parliament speaker's stand and were being pushed off by others.
World heavyweight boxing champion Vitaly Klitschko, who heads the UDAR (Punch) party, chose to look on and did not join into the brawl.
Wednesday's session of the parliament was to be the first test of the cohesion of political forces underpinning Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich with an expected vote on the nomination of Mykola Azarov for prime minister, but it was marred by protest from the start.
