BRADENTON, Fla. -- The San Francisco 49ers suspended radio analyst Tim Ryan on Wednesday after he said on a Bay Area radio station that Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson's dark skin helps him disguise a dark football when running fake handoffs in Baltimore's zone-read heavy offense.


Ryan will not broadcast Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints while serving the suspension. The Niners released a statement on the matter Wednesday evening from Florida, where they are practicing at IMG Academy in preparation to play at the Saints after losing 20-17 to the Ravens last week.

I guess that’s why white pitchers are so good

Jamarcus Russell had a sick play action game dont ever forget. If Baltimore goes 17-2 they will have to change the color of the football to make the game fair.

Superbowl or bust for Baltimore. All their defense is in their primes and Ingram all downhill after this year.

Poor analysis.

But boy that white boy can jump...or in a certain running backs case...he's the most athletic white RB we've seen...all perfectly acceptable statements according to some of those that find folks commenting on skin color offensive.

Its been like 10 weeks...we've seen this talent before...well unless you are under 18. He's changing the game...we get it...all due respect he is fun to watch. And maybe....
