Nothing is more depressing than seeing the African supremacist Steelers do well every year. If they get homefield which now looks likely thanks to a ridiculously easy schedule, another SB appearance seems to be in the bag.

Ben Roethlisberger masterfully manhandled the Patriots super slow, hapless, worthless, coal black defense. He picked them apart and worked the clock, systematically marching down the field. Brady and the Pats offense never had a chance to get any rhythm. Gronkowski is a beast. Belichick's dusty, crusty, old favorite, Kevin Faulk, is back...and, Woodhead gets no offensive touches.

Steve Tasker, who has been a poster boy for the Caste System for over a quarter century, first as a WSTD who could have been a great receiver but was always happy in his degraded role, and now as an announcer of NFL games, just declared that the Seahawks "are Tavaris Jackson's team." This pronoucement was made at the end of a game that Seattle lost to Cincinnati by the score of 34-12.

Woodhead did make a picture perfect tackle on kick coverage. Its criminal that he doesn't gets 20 touches a game. Just goes to show that winning isnt the most important thing in the NFL.

That seems to happen to a lot of white players.
We need a name for it. Something like "Stockholm Syndrome", but for brainwashed white caste victims.

Just watched the Lions Broncos game after recording it. Wow Tebow looked bad. The Broncos are horrible so it's hard to tell how much of it was Tebow, but he will get the majority of the blame. With so much hate directed at him this kind of game is just more fuel for the fire. Hopefully he can put it past him and play better going forward. Eric Decker looked good though.

Some truly awful storylines developing in this odious league. As has been noted, "genius" Belichick decided to play an incredibly slow 35 year old Faulk over Woodhead, who is light years better than Faulk in every way except pigmentation. Faulk was awful- he looked like he was running in quicksand, and probably left 50 yards on the field that Woodhead would have had with the same touches. And Belichick is the BEST friend white skill position players have in the NFL. With friends like that....

The notion that Belichick, or any other NFL coach, is trying to win games is laughable. What kind of Pop Warner coach would bench a lightning quick RB who was neck and neck with Jamal Charles last season for most yards per touch, for an obviously washed up relic like Faulk? Even if he was given a chance for sentimental reasons, all it would take for any honest coach is a few looks at Faulk plodding along to make the switch back to Woodhead. Unless, of course, there is another agenda there outside of winning. Also, what kind of "genius" doesn't even challenge Gronkowski's obvious TD? By not doing so, he wasted over a minute off the clock. And why, by the way, wasn't the play looked at automatically? Haven't we been told all season that all scoring plays are reviewed automatically by the booth?

Tebow is being offered up as a sacrificial joke to the fans who love him. Yet another coach who is definitely not trying to win- John Fox- clearly wants him to fail. He didn't even tweak the offense to tailor to Tebow's special skill set, and as a result Tebow has looked absolutely horrendous out there. I'd like someone to explain to me how this kid, who did exceptionally well throwing the ball all over the place during the 3 games he started last year, has regressed to the point where he looks like the most inaccurate QB in history. It's like he's trying his best to prove all the Caste hounds right.

Woodhead, Gerhart, Leonard, the ongoing Hillis Conspiracy- the NFL appears to be working overtime to make certain it's at least 25 years until the next hapless white RB breaks 1000 yards rushing. Welker will not be permitted to break Rice's record. At this point, you really have to lower your expectations to microsopic levels to find anything positive in this season.

Yeah, Patriots game was depressing. Not only was Belicheck unfair to Woodhead, he also was to the younger black RB's like lawfirm and Ridley, by using Faulk, and he was unfair to his team by in essence not trying 100% to win.
Positives are wins by Texans and Bills, and yet another close loss by Carolina. Also, white tight ends from Scott Chandler to Greg Olsen to Dennis Pitta to Dallas Clark to Owen Daniels to Tony Schefler continue to have decent weeks. Not spectacular, but solid performances. The 49ers even had two white players, Peele, their third string tight end, and Staley, a lineman in as a pass eligible receiver, catching the ball.
Next week the Steelers play the Ravens, and hopefully Baltimore wins, not that the Ravens are anything exciting for us here at CF, but my favorite team is whoever is playing the Steelers this week.

In the Lions Broncos game both Tony Scheffler and Steven Tulloch mocked Tebow by doing a brief impression of "Tebowing" (as it is mockingly referred to). I thought that was classless because for one it's supposed to be a way of thanking God and expressing a heartfelt religious feeling and for another I've seen black players do it. For example Denard Robinson of the UM Wolverines does the same thing every time he scores. No mocking insults are ever directed at him for it, in fact it's praised whenever it's mentioned. Another of the many racial double standards.

And, if the Eagles' win tonight, they stay very much alive in the NFC East race (and, of course, a wildcard berth is a real possibility). The headlines would shout -- "Starting to Soar."

Why did the camera focus on Keith Brooking after that TD? He wasn't even in that series, let alone the play.

I don't get all the Pats/Belichick hate. IMO he's by far the fairest coach racially. He's shown before that he rides certain running backs instead of spreading out the carries among all 5 on the roster. Woodhead didn't play many snaps but neither did Law Firm, and I'm pretty sure Ridley wasn't in at all. And to call the defense coal black also just wrong. Ninkovich starts, and when healthy Mike Wright and Dane Fletcher get plenty of playing time, that's more than you can say about half the other teams.

The "most fair" in a heinously unfair league still isn't very fair at all. Personally I'm tired of watching technically retarded savages get paid millions of dollars to run around with a children's toy, and perform elaborate rituals and rain dances after every successful routine play. Or watch them writhing in pain for hours pointing up supplicating at the clouds for every tweaked ankle or minor booboo. I'm glad that you guys keep an eye on the blatantly unfair caste system and I use a lot of your arguments when I deign to debate with the incorrigibly ignorant "DWFs" but it just isn't worth watching for me when there's virtually no worthwhile story to watch now that Hillis, Woodhead, Nelson et al are getting relegated to special teams or phased out altogether.

For the past [almost] three years I'd only very rarely seen any football (college, or professional) on TV, and on those occasions it was usually in bars or restaurants.

The rest of my football news (and nearly all the news I get about sports) I get from Castefootball.

Anyway, I got a gym membership where individual treadmills and stationary bikes have built-in LCD TVs, so on weekends I get to actually see the games.

I've noticed that on even "very Black" NFL teams, what few white players there are (offensive line, QB, random defensive guys, etc.) do get to be on the field a lot. I saw part of the Steelers game with that stupid gay-hair midget (Asian?) guy Troy Palogirlwhatever, and there were several Whites on the Steelers' offense.

Having said that, I did plug my earphones in, and the commentators usually say nice things only about the Black players, almost as if praising Whites would be racist, or not praising Blacks would be just as racist.

I think the racial quota system in football is maintained to ensure that stupid White fans can say, "See, there are still lots of White guys on the field, what are you talking about?" while at the same time they are fed the propaganda that only the darker players are actually any good.

Oh, and I head several talking heads say Brady is "finished".

WTF? Dude is in his early 30s. Why is he called over the hill, meanwhile Michael Vick is almost the same age, Donovan McFlab is even older, and they're not called old, too?

Whatever. The NFL sucks right now.

On an anecdotal note, at the store this weekend buying food, I noticed a lot of the employees wearing Halloween costumes for fun. I saw one employee (A Hispanic dude) actually wearing a Browns Cold McCoy jersey.

I hope the guy was wearing it as a fan, and not to make fun.

Surprised that no one has mentioned Hardesty's monster game today, with 2 carries for 6 yards. Let's hope Schurmur names him the starter over Hillis and end this silly drama once and for all.

It was probably done so that he wouldn't look as bad getting 20 carries for 30 yards. Now they can say, "well he only got 2 carries he probably would have had his 100 yards if he could just get the 50 carries he earned."

Last week after Denver beat Miami, posters complained that "Tebow isn't treated like other quarterbacks." This week after a bad loss, posters want his coach to "tweak the offense to tailor to Tebow's special skill set."

Well, which do you want?

Speaking of Belichik, what does he gain by not trying to win? Why would he not want to win another Super Bowl and the glory he would receive as a football genius?

The Bengal RB situation makes no sense other than racial favoritism. That can't even possibly be argued otherwise.

Nah that is what it is and has been for the duration of the Marvin Lewis era. White player gets signed/drafted by the Owner, Lewis tosses them in his doghouse until he has successfully run them off. It's happened a million times and it doesn't matter how great Leonard performs, Lewis will soon have him back on 3rd string. Hell he has sumo FB getting more plays than Leonard even.

Tebow is still for all intents and purposes just a rookie on a bad team, he may need a couple of seasons to develop, as is the case with many good quarterbacks.


Unfortunately this is the modern NFL where you get one full season if you're lucky and unless you light it up you're relegated to career backup. Obviously that only applies to whites. For further reference see: Matt Leinart, Brady Quinn, Derek Anderson, Kyle Boller, Mike Kafka(steps in and outperforms Vick only to return to back up duty), Jimmy Clausen, Stephen McGee, Matt Moore ect.

Anderson and Moore being the lukiest of the bunch, ditto with Kolb. He got extremely lucky Larry Fitzgerald pleaded with the Cards F.O. to trade for him when (black) GM Rod Graves was smitten for Vince Young. Unfortunately for Tebow he will get until the end of the season and John Fox will continue to do everything in his power to ensure Tim fails. We all know it and it is what it is, the NFL caste system is finishing off Tebow this season and he'll either soon be out of the NFL or relegated to 3rd string somewhere for the rest of his career. Unless Josh McDaniels somehow lands another HC job.

Sport Historian,

Again, you show your contrarian nature, which results in you often appearing to support the Caste System wholeheartedly. Tell me why any coach devoted to putting the best product on the field, would play an old, slow third down back over a fast playmaker like Woodhead, who is superior in EVERY way to Faulk?

As for Tebow, are you going to maintain that he hasn't been treated differently than other QBs? Have ESPN talking heads come out angrily, in a campaign to convince the public that any other QB "can't play in the NFL?" Tebow needs to have the offense run up tempo, and spread out. He needs to be given free reign to improvise, as he did during the last quarter of the remarkable comeback vs. Miami. His coach appears not to have watched the tape from his comeback win.

Please give us a logical explanation for Woodhead being benched for Faulk. And while you're at it, come up with a logical explanation for why any team devoted to winning would trade up in the second round to draft a RB, when they already had the best young RB in the game, and then proceed to give that RB far less touches than journeyman Chester Taylor? Finally, how does a coach devoted to winning continue to give almost all RB touches to two troubled thugs who are averaging 3 ypc, while refusing to increase the role of a former college star who is averaging over 7 ypc?

Inquiring minds want to know....

Well, is he treated like other qbs? What is your position? Tebow has had one bad start in 5 games. Do you want him benched too?

Well, is the offense adjusted for Tebow's skill set? Or for that matter would that offense show case any qbs skill set? With a thirty point plus lead Stafford was operating from the shotgun and was throwing on first down while Tebow was behind the center handing off. A couch potato could predict with 90% accuracy if the Broncos were going to run or pass by looking at the down, distance, and formation. Do you think the Broncos are utilizing Tebow's skills and giving the team the best chance to win? What is your position?

This weeks "complaints" haven't changed from last weeks. You'll notice that the same thing about the plain-Jane Broncos offense was said last week even though the Broncos won. You just have to pay attention.

Does Belichek really think Faulk is better than Woodhead? Does Belichek believe that Woodhead's and his 6-7 yards per carry is best left on the bench? Do you believe that Woodhead should be on the bench? This is not a one game blip in the radar screen. Woodhead has been benched. Do you agree with it?

I know us complaining posters haven't seen every single game in NFL history live like you somehow did, but while you're complaining about us you could at least offer a position and answer a few questions to display your great knowledge of the game so we can all understand better.

After seeing the tasteless mocking of Tebow over his god thing versus the black athletes who do virtually the same thing while the castecapos navel gaze let us all admit that race plays a very large role in sports today. I would dare say it is to the point of open conspiracy like a kind of reverse segregation that is all but legalized via the power structure.

I despise conspiracy theory, but who cannot admit that if we took a Lovie Smith or a white gimp castecapo like Uncle Chris and subjected them to an intense interogation that they would admit to racial biases.

I watched the Denver game and one play told me all I needed to know about the team, coaches & Elway. The game was in the 1st half and still competitive when the Broncos faced a 3rd & 3 from their own 35. Tebow threw a short down and out to a WR for a whopping 2 yard gain when they needed 3 for the 1st down. The offense came off the field with an 'I don't give a sh!t' attitude. To me, it was obvious. The Broncos stink. Their running game stinks, their receivers stink, they have no TE's, their O-line is pathetic, the play calling stinks, the coaches seem bitter and uninterested. The only saving grace for the Broncos is that there are other teams in the NFL that are just as bad. The Dolphins, Seahawks, Browns, Colts, and Rams could all lose to the Broncos.

Tim Tebow will never have any real success with this dysfuctional team. His long term prospects are in dire straits right now.

And none of us will ever know if Tebow could be a solid starting QB in this league in his current situation.
