The seemingly-becoming-less-white Packers signed 16 undrafted free agents, disappointingly only one of which is white. The black Bears, my most hated team, signed 26 undrafted free agents, many of which, 10 or so, are white; including WR Dane Sanzenbacher and C Alex Linnenkohl … What the hell is this!

Rich, it probably has to do with the Packers getting too white. Signing more white players would cause an uproar from the media and the bruthas. That's why they did what they did..

As far as the Bears go, don't get too excited. We've seen this time and time again here at Castefootball. A team signs a bundle of white free agents only to see most of them cut or stranded on the practice squad. With Hatie Smiffs track record we can't expect much.

The vast majority of black UDFAs are ABSOLUTE NOBODIES! Makes perfect sense, considering that there are black scrubs selected in the 1st and 2nd rounds of the Draft....

Green Bay could easily find a stud White TE, DL or C/G in this UDFA class. The reason I don't mention LB or WR (for them) is because they are "more set" at those positions. I'd rather White LBs go to teams' where they are needed more.


--I could build an all-white UDFA team that would defeat ANY all-black UDFA team! We would be very strong at OL, LB and WR, and should be able to scrape up enough DL, safeties and RBs. And, our QB should be stronger than their black QB..--

But, you would take Alex Wujciak for the Packers, right?
... he is still available to my knowledge.

I would love to have Wujciak invited to camp in Green Bay. He'd be a great inside LB in the 3-4. I was also hoping that the Packers would take a chance on a white TE like Lee Smith from Marshall and invite a local guy in SS Lance Olson who is an experienced National Champion at UW-Whitewater and has some eye popping measurables.. And a white DL would be wonderful. Oh well.. Still alot to cheer for on the roster.

Until seeing the latest rookie free-agent signings....This is the one team that could have 27 white players on the 53-man roster. Is this an unspoken that is not allowed by the PTB?

Yes, it's amazing more DWFs don't pick up on these unspoken quotas. Another thing you might notice is how the Browns have a white starting RB, but will probably have 2 out of 3 black QBs on their roster this season- to "make up for having Hillis" maybe?

You can also notice all the ranking of token white RBs and WRs together on whiterivals and NFLdraftscout's rankings. I've seen times where there would be no white WRs listed for 50 spots or so and then there would all of the sudden be 4 white WRs together toward the bottom of the list lol. Wake up DWFs!

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Aaron Rodgers' sickening public lobbying for this team to resign James Jones. He actually said that the Packers couldn't have won the Super Bowl without him!

Just trying to picture any white star QB publicly lobbying for his team to keep even the best white WR, RB or TE, let alone one as mediocre as James Jones.

Colledge and Spitz have gone elsewhere ... Hall and Kuhn are free agents, and now Poppinga and Wilhelm have been cut … Suddenly, they are thin at ILB, too. I suppose signing Barrett Ruud and bringing Alex Wujciak in is just more daydreaming on my part.

Agreed bigunreal, but I hadn't heard that. If he was trying to be PC, he should have just said nothing and or atleast mentioned the one who could have been the SB co-mvp, JORDY,JORDY,JORDY!

I guess it's a good thing for Jordy he's white, or else AR would have been all on his st#%k!

just kidding!

Quarterbacks say favorable things about their teammates all the time regardless of color. Troy Aikman wanted the Cowboys to keep Patrick Jeffers back when he was an obscure free agent following the 1998 season. He signed with Carolina and had a fantastic season in '99 before his knee was blown out in a pre-season game the following summer.

Carson Palmer, the QB Bigunreal especially loves to hate on as some kind of super-wigger, spoke highly of Brian Leonard and Matt Jones, and has chosen to retire over being forced to come back to the thug-o-rama that is the Bengals.

It's ALL about manufacturing "victories for DIVERSITY"...

Until seeing the latest rookie free-agent signings....This is the one team that could have 27 white players on the 53-man roster. Is this an unspoken that is not allowed by the PTB?

This is why MLB needed to be "latino-ized".. this is why White stud basketball players' are rarely paired together on the same NBA team(s).. Perhaps, it's why Greg Olsen was traded to the Panthers and not another team..

White athletes' are purposely "kept separated" so as not to give the general population any ideas or racial pride. "Victories" are being manufactured for black/latino teams, because it serves to transform them into a place/realm of importance, where they become "heroes," and, then, somehow essential to the fiber of America, England, Canada, etc.

Even if they were WGAs (which they aren't), that doesn't extend to business, science, crucial trades, or creating/maintaining civilization, but that doesn't stop the PTB from pushing for more blacks as head coaches and more "black athletes" into politics. This is all part of the agenda.


--A really dark team could become Whiter, but, for the last few years, I never expect that a "Whiter" team will become Whiter. It would be an exercise in futility. In the past, I have been critical of teams' like New England (for drafting Brandon Spikes, Ron Brace, etc) and Green Bay, for shying away from White TEs and mostly shunning White DL. I will remain critical when necessary; I don't have White guilt, and when I see (available) White athletes' that are way-better than the blacks that are being signed, I will point that out.--

Im sorry deadlift but you are going way off the deep end in your last analysis. The caste system exists but your views are super paranoid and not logical.

Don,

I don't hate Carson Palmer. I expressed my objections to his public plea for college thug Bernard Scott to be given the ball, when that would only serve to lessen any limited chances Brian Leonard had.

I don't hate Aaron Rodgers, either, but his comments were totally unnecessary and obviously absurd. How can any rational person think that the Packers couldn't have won the Super Bowl without James Jones?

I'll be waiting for any white QB to publicly lobby for JUST an individual white skill position player like that. We'll see if Rodgers does that when Jordy Nelson is up for a new contract.

The reality is that NFL football players publicly say the right things about teammates no matter how they feel privately. There are of course exceptions, with some blacks publicly ripping teammates, usually White ones. But to claim that White QBs never "lobby" for a White teammate is another yet another example of how you selectively pick and choose that which fits your outlook.

And while you likely don't "hate" Carson Palmer, yes you have "hated on" him, as he has been the subject of several of your rants singling him out for not taking the "Caste Football line" on various issues.

James Jones, Jordy Nelson and Donald Driver had roughly the same seasons last year statistically, after the clear-cut number one receiver Greg Jennings. The Packers are acknowledged to have one of the best group of receivers in the league. Jones is well enough thought of that several teams are at least considering signing him to be a starter, which I hope happens as it would clear the way for Nelson to be on the field a lot more. I see nothing out of line whatsoever with Aaron Rodgers being the good company guy and praising Jones and saying that he hopes the team re-signs him. To call it "sickening public lobbying" simply because Jones is black is ridiculous.

Do you seriously think Rodgers is lobbying for James Jones? Its just a ploy to try to increase his market value so they can get more when they trade him. He drops passes in crucial situations, especially in the playoffs. Rodgers knows this, other teams know this, but in the meanwhile try to get as much as possible for Jones who several teams are interested in. Rodgers saying that probably increases his value. The Vikings and Jets are two that I know of that want him. You don't speak negatively about a player you might be trading. Most don't say negative things about teammates in general.

I bet if you speak to him on a personal level he would tell you he thinks Jordy is better but this is a business, Jordy is not on the market. If he was he wouldn't have to have someone talk him up because his work would speak for itself, doesn't drop the ball, reliable receiver and clutch, can play the slot and the outside.

Well in defense of bigunreal he did say "JUST" publically lobby for an individual white skill position player.

In the Carson Palmer case- I'm with bigunreal. Owens was not a teammate at the time (that he should have felt the need to stick his neck out for) and was already known to be a locker room cancer. Palmer befriended him and wanted him on the Bengals. Owens took a roster spot that might have been Matt Jones.

In this particular case I don't see what is wrong with what Rodgers said- other than that it is clearly only something a foolish person would believe- that they "couldn't have won the SB without him (James Jones)". He could have said something else to plug him, like "a great WR/ great guy we'd like to have back on the team". I don't see anything wrong with Rodgers character for sticking up for a teammate, and it can only help his trade value stock if that's the route GB takes (as dwid said).

Unfortunately the Packers did re-sign James Jones. There must not have been much of a market out there as far as teams wanting to sign him to be a starter. Jordy Nelson now has to continue to battle Jones and Driver for playing time, plus they drafted Randall Cobb in the second round in April. Hopefully Jordy's superior talent will win out and he'll be starting this season, but the Packers' draft this year and their FA signings are worrisome.

Damn! When is Jordy going to catch a break? Why draft such an athletic and physical receiver in the second round only to have him losing playing time to inferior players?

This is to Bigunreal, Aaron Rodgers also wanted John Kuhn back. Do you still feel the same about him?

Packers agreed to terms with FB John Kuhn on a three-year contract.



The deal is expected to make Kuhn one of the highest-paid fullbacks in the league. He's not an elite lead-blocker, but he can thank Ryan Grant's injury for the added exposure as a ball carrier last year. Aaron Rodgers made it clear that he wanted Kuhn and James Jones back, and the Packers granted his wish.

I guess I was wrong, I guess Rodgers was lobbying for Jones.

From what I hear he was looking for a bigger salary though, I guess no one thought he was worth it. The Vikings went with Michael Jenkins and the Jets signed Plaxico Burress, that shows how much other teams thought of him.

I still have faith that this will be the year Jordy passes the 1k mark in receiving. James Jones has been given more opportunities in 4 years to play but hasn't shown that much potential besides being a number 3 or number 4 receiver. He has already peaked. Jordy Nelson has more potential and showed it in the postseason, mainly the Superbowl

Nelson will be an unrestricted free agent after the 2011 season. If he doesn't start, yet again, he should move on to a team that will use him properly.
