somewhere Jeremy Bloom is laughing... he never muffed a punt, never lost a fumble. they cut him after he run behind special teams made of scrub players that didn't even make a team...

Oh, I don't think he's laughing. But what I do hope he's doing is getting a lawyer and starting some trouble. The "affeletes" run crying to a lawyer everytime they feel like "the man" has screwed them. Now, it's OUR turn. If I were him, I'd find some way to haul Andy Reid's fat, caste-worshipping, ass into court.

. I'd start by leaving a trail of pork rinds into the court room. That should get porky in there so we can start the proceedings with the quickness.

What I wouldn't give to be a fly on the wall at the dinner table in his house right now. I can only imagine what he and his family are saying about him being cut. Probably the same things we're saying.

Andy Reid, just like Mike Holmgren, another Lavell Edwards former player/assistant who won't give whites a chance. Strange stuff!

I would like to nominate Reid for Caste Gimp of the week. And as a Packer fan I also would like to thank him for basically handing us the game for cutting Bloom for whatever reason. Its possible Bloom is not fully recovered, and maybe a bit more recovery time he can get his step back that some have said he has lost.

LMAO. Now this is just too funny to be true. If I were Bloom, I would explore all other options before returning to the Eagles.

Shocker they decided to go with Mahe over Bloom. Can this stuff get any more obvious?

yeah, he wasn't even with them during the camp and unlike Bloom they already KNOW for sure he isn't going to rip a big one. and now he doesn't know new ST schemes and such and he didn't work out with any team during the summer so his conditioning is probably far from perfect. even if he worked out on his own, which isn't the same.

Uh, don't white people make up the most interesting trash talkers and sports entertainers in the WWE? The only "black" guy I saw that was really good was the Rock (he's mostly Polynesian actually). Most of the black wrestlers are pretty generic and almost boring when it comes to characters.

(OK, Harlem Heat and Cryme Tyme are good too.)

Good post, backrow! I really have no idea why they would chose Reno Mahe over the incredibly fast Bloom. I've seen countless Eagles games with Mahe on the field. They even let him start a couple games at RB, where he did nothing at all. He's nothing special in any way, trust me.

I really hope Bloom caches on somewhere that will use his skills at WR at kick returns. A person can dream, right?

Good luck Jeremy, you deserve the very best!

Maybe he's just trolling?

What, are you some pop-psychologist now..."making the demographic here seem more illiterate than it is..." is a common subterfuge tactic used by trolls to make a board seem like it's populated by ignoramuses...I suppose if I had phrased it "less literate than it is..." you'd have been less offended. I'll actually apologize for that, if indeed you saw some implied quantity in my choice of syntax. Lower case, Capitals...etc...I just noticed that...good one...you got me; I'm actually a gay Jewish internationalist posting here to...well...what?...admit that I like rooting for under-dogs like Travis Jervey and Dat Nguyen and occasionally rail off on Evolutionary Psychology. Anyhow, I looked at a few other posts and saw no clear pattern. Maybe in writing papers for liberal-apologist-academic reviewers I picked up that habit, as not to offend sensitive constitutions...


Being an average-heighted White guy I'd love to see Jeremy Bloom get a legit shot at returning some punts or what-not (along with Abney & Welker, etc)...I'll even openly say so with some of my multi-racial acquaintances as they root for Asian Dat Nguyen and bemoan Timmy Chang's "raw deal" or, in the case of the Black ones, basically glorify most of the Black players.


This hate some of you got on for my admittedly ostentatious use of language is laughable. THAT IS EXACTLY THE SORT OF LET'S-BE-A-TEAM-PLAYER, MIDDLE-OF-THE-ROAD, I'M-JUST-A-REGULAR-JOE MENTALITY THAT HOLDS BACK SO MANY WHITE PEOPLE THESE DAYS, especially when confronted by loquacious, extroverted Blacks on Football fields. Why do you think the term "Asian Innovation" is basically an oxymoron...because they're so crippled by the weight of cultural conformity that they rarely venture into pompous, bloated, self-congratulatory individualism. You think Jews are only successful because they're ethnocentric? I got news for you: They're also fond of superfluous use of language, ostentatious displays of erudite knowledge and general chattiness. That sort of behaviour, be it in verb usage, boxing or team sports, is the sort of thing that gets you noticed. In any event, I see that some other posters, WHITE SAVAGE comes to mind, are no less sesquipedalian...I love reading that blatant Nordic supremacists' posts...they're at least clever and interesting!


&lt;SPAN lang=EN-US style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; mso-ansi-: EN-US"&gt;&lt;FONT face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial&gt;The NFL, like all pro sports these days, is 90% hype and showmanship, and, at least for the last 30 years, nobody sh*t-talks, exagerates, self-promotes and manipulates base emotions like Black people. This is a skill which is anemic at best in most White Americans. Maybe some flashy, ostentatiously offensive-minded (offensive in both senses of the word) Argentine or Croatian will come along and figure out how to play football and remind you all of that, just as they did in the NBA. Hell, you needed a pot-smoking, hippie Canadian to put a White face on that league. Loosen your hips and get out your thesauri, kids!</font></font>&lt;/SPAN&gt;

I should have quoted what I was replying to. I was replying to the first page's discussion in general. I guess I was in a hurry to reply, and didn't check the date or how many pages were after the post(s) in question.

The whole idea that whites can't be entertaining was ridiculous, and irrelevant to real sports, so maybe I shouldn't have posted that.Edited by: FieldThrower

from rotoworld:

Steelers signed WR Jeremy Bloom to their practice squad.

Bloom could be activated for the playoffs if Allen Rossum (questionable, hamstring) can't play. The former Olympic skier and Eagles draftee was out of football all season, but did have a tryout with the Bucs last September.

Another punt dropped by Philadelphia on Monday. You reap what you sow.

He got screwed! A torn ACL after only being a 5th round pick ended his career. He should have been drafted higher and given a chance!

It's a shame that his football career is over with, but let's hope he can get back in good form for skiing and win a medal for the U.S. in Vancouver in 2010.

Bloom retired from skiing. At least this was his voluntary decision. He was robbed of a football career by both the NCAA and NFL. If he had been a world champion black skier he would have had quite a few chances to succeed in football and would have been one of the country's most celebrated athletes, given the Bo Jackson treatment. Instead the NCAA stopped him from finishing his football career at Colorado and then the NFL had close to zero interest in him.
