I think it bothered me when I was a kid. I always was facinated on how Steve Largent was the only white wide receiver in the late 80s. I thought to myself...he can't be the only white guy capable of this! Really bothered me. I still have my Electric Football Steve Largent figure. I was also very fast and went to a majority black school and always won every foot race against the brothers. So I never bought into the superior athlete thing.

My earliest memory was of Beebe chasing down Leon Lett in the Super Bowl - I must of been 9 or 10. It stuck with me for a few reasons - just how stupid Leon Lett looked, how to never give up on a play, sportsmanship (which is now dead) and I wanted to be as fast as Beebe.

LOL the cameraman pans in on mulatto Erik Harris - he is the closest thing to a white defensive player on the raiders.

Keenum is clutch. So far things are working out for him in Denver. Meanwhile, Chucky is 0-2. Luv it.

Anyone from another planet or time machine from even a few years ago and seeing Ezekiel Elliot with a womanly afro and wearing his jersey like a halter top with a matching headband would think this is some SNL or Airplane skit. Good grief what a joke this is!!!

LOL that is funny stuff! I wonder what team is going to be stupid enough to go after Vonta Davis next.

Any ideas on if the Bills are going to actually get Josh Allen any help this year? Free agent TEs? Get DiMarco involved in the passing game? Sign a vet QB and let Allen learn a little instead of being thrown into the fire.
I know Patrick Dimarco caught 1 rec for 22 yds. Wish they wouldn't have cut Nick O'leary .

Ugh. Dallas Dakboys against the Ghana Giants. Close to unwatchable.

Wow that ad was horrible. Little kids having a lemonade stand, enjoying the fresh air, making money...the mom comes out and gives the first customer the entire pitcher, grabs the kids to bring them indoors, sit on their asses and watch NFL all afternoon instead! Nice parenting.

You misheard. He said the tight end (Evan Engram) has a better 40 time than Beckham.

I was always racially aware even as a kid, but per sports I actually started to give a damn when random people, usually White, would tell me there would never again be a White, world heavyweight boxing champion. This was like in 2006 when both Klitschkos were already belt holders.

Over the past decade I haven't posted prolifically but I've regularly lurked and always read what other people had to say. It's extremely comforting to know that I'm not alone in my opinions, that somewhere out there, there are people who notice the same kinds of things that I do.

I don't really watch TV anymore and know better than to get my sporting news from race traitors at ESPN, and rely almost exclusively on Castefootball to get literally up-to-the-minute updates on what's going on with White athletes all over the world. For example I'll come here to catch people's opinions on the latest football game, but then, like reading a Wikipedia article, get sidetracked on other news in tennis, golf, track, and so on. It's great.

Castefootball has been an incredibly integral part of most of my adult life and it's just me staring at a computer screen. It's amazing what one website can do.

As per the NFL, I think it's for the most part affirmative action employment service for otherwise economically useless, unskilled, unemployable minorities. It's obvious that when one looks for the best athletes at every position, Whites come up more often than not. No matter how cucked some pale fat loser is watching TV at home on a Sunday, he can't possibly be thinking some low-brow, pea-brained idiot black quarterback with a noodle arm and cowardice in the pocket is going to be better than all the solid, White quarterbacks in college getting screwed by the system. That same loser can't possibly be thinking all the husky farmboys in Red State America aren't good enough to play OL and have to be supplanted by some America-hating sumo or poly idiot with an SAT score lower than his body temperature.

But then again I've never lost a bet when betting on the stupidity of the average doofus on the street.

Kittle's presence saved the game for the Niners today. Sophomore slumping Jimmy G's game losing pick 6 was called back when the Detroit DB got caught grabbing Kittle's jersey yet again. The DB had been doing that all day as he simply couldn't over Kittle.

I agree. It's great to have a site where you can stay in touch with like minded individuals.

Vontae Davis - Like I keep saying, with blacks, you don't know exactly what stupid thing they're going to do, only that in due time, they will do something incredibly dumb. I wonder how Davis' agent feels about now?

Surprisingly, Collinsworth said something like “the great speed of Jeff Heath is a factor once again. He came flying in to make that tackle on Engram like he was a center fielder.”

Great week for white pass-catchers! 4 white players (James, Thielen, Kelce, McCaffre) eclipsed 100 yards and Ertz had 94. Hogan scored 2 TDs...


How did Thielen catch this ball?

With Carolina losing and the Vikings settling for a tie from the "white sports manual" the most important thing in sports is to win. After Thielen's heroics it was quite the letdown for the kicker to gag away a win. Granted the Vikings received a gift when Clay Matthews was charged with a hit on the QB that everyone in the universe knows was a terrible call. Player safety is one thing but this is football and simple tackles should not be outlawed.

It is important for white players to perform well but to really help the cause they must be part of a winning team. So even though CM put up some solid stats it is disappointing when his team loses.

Back to CM for a moment. I understand the frustration here at the site and he does have an uphill climb. His OL is mediocre at best and the WRs are pretty damn bad and without TE Olsen the team lacks explosion. Newton is clumsy and not ideal but on the other hand he is at least average and does like feeding CM the ball. He is performing at a high level ( 14 catches) and I for one think they are using him a bit better this year.

Some here want him to carry the rock 20 plus times a game but CM actually is a throwback to what they call the APB (All Purpose Back). Before our time many of the league stars fit that description like Paul Hornung and Frank Gifford. They were the face of the NFL back then. He wanted to play for Carolina and I think he is very comfortable there. I just don't see the CM situation as being a prime problem. He is the centerpiece of the offense.

I believe we have much bigger problems to worry about.

The real trouble spots in my mind is the depth at WR and the lack of defensive players especially DBs.

It was very satisfying to watch the Giants offense bumble around last night and poster boys Barkely and Beckham have sub par games. That is two in a row for media hero Barkley. The real treat was watching Sean Lee and Jeff Heath play fantastic defense and I was also very impressed with rangy Vander Esch. Hopefully Lee's hamstring injury is minor. He is the star of the team.

Also Chris Collinsworth has changed. No longer the caste devotee he is not afraid anymore to heap athletic praise on white players. Ever since the Pats beat Seattle in the SB Collinsworth has evolved for the better. While he still has a man crush on many black players he is a different and better announcer than he was 5 years ago . I thought the broadcast was very good overall.

Too early to say but if Mahomes does become an eventual star I would hope TE Kelce flourishes like he did this Sunday. It will help the medicine go down but remember Kelce is a TE and the jury remains out regarding black QBs and white WRs.

Also the Gruden era is off to a shaky start. I will be relieved once Jordy starts putting some good games together. It has been a while and it is making me anxious.

The really good thing about CM being an all purpose back is a likely increase in his longevity. He won't be done in a handful of years like the typical back. So that's a great point. He's much more dynamic....a Brian Westbrook type of back.

I'm not bothered at all by CM not getting 20+ carries a game. He's nowhere close to that. He got 8 yesterday. I would be happy with 12-15. I think he got one again, maybe two in the first quarter. It's very difficult to get into the flow getting 1-2 carries per quarter. I don't think he was looked to very much at all in the first quarter. Cam missed him several times. I believe the only reason he got to receive the ball mostly in the fourth quarter was the Panther receivers kept dropping the ball. I know I saw 5-6 drops. Then, we escaped a real problem when Anderson came in, but dropped two in a row. The second one resulting in an interception. If Anderson would have come in and produced, we MAY have had a RB controversy? Speaking of that, Anderson actually did perform when called on to run. He had over 30 yards on 3 carries. Why not use both RB's and establish a running game as the Falcons did?
Yes, CM had a very good day. I'm thankful for that. Just have never seen a first round RB used the way he is, especially after saying several times that he would be used 15-20 carries and 6-10 receiving. Maybe that's Coach Rivera's decoy? As stated above, there were reasons why he got that much attention yesterday and unless the Panthers find some receivers, he'll probably be used this way the rest of the season. Just would like to see him get 1,000 rushing. However, good points you made to speak of his longevity.

A little bit off-topic from Week 2, but a few weeks ago I saw Hornung's career stats and was stunned! Stunned that he basically put up Danny Woodhead type numbers for his career (except with more TD's, but much fewer catches) and made the Hall of Fame and is considered a NFL legend. Perhaps Sports Historian or others can help out, as Hornung played well before my time.

--------------


Although I admit to not liking Hornung much, after he publicly blasted Notre Dame last decade for not having enough blacks. Basically, this fool was going around bashing his Alma-mater, saying the schools "academic standards" were too high, meaning fewer black starters. It was repugnant to me, but ESPN and others turned him into a folk-hero.

By the way, only a fool would believe Notre Dame's (or any school's) are too high for the affletes. Several years back a friend of mine briefly introduced me to a white "goy" that was once a starting lineman/team captain at Yale. Only shook his hand and said hello. I guess he played in 1980's? ... Anyhow, I asked if the ex-Yale Bulldog was a brilliant student in high school, because he didn't seem like a scholarly type at the time I met him ... I was told he scored like an 800 on his SAT's and was never brilliant....so if Yale was letting him in the 1980's, can you imagine how low the standards were at Notre Dame during the 2000's? Yet Hornung still bitched and moaned publicly?

Truthteller, that was because HOF FB Jim Taylor was getting the majority of the carries. Almost 200 per season and averaged almost 1,000 yards per season. 8,597 career yards/10 seasons. Taylor was great FB/RB either way he was outstanding.

CS, I agree about Taylor. Same day I saw Hornung's stats, I saw JT's and they and they were/are simply amazing -- at a time teams only played 14 games? Clearly Hall of Fame numbers.

Taylor should be even more in the conversation for best RB of in NFL history. A true legend, who is not talked about enough to this day.

But even with the less carries because of Jim, I was surprised at how few rushing yards Hornung had and still made the Hall of Fame. I believe Paul was also suspended for gambling for at least 1 season.
