    2023 Washington Commanders

    2023 Washington Commanders Preview Yet another quarterback era begins in Washington, as Sam Howell now looks to be the answer under center.

    2023 Philadelphia Eagles

    2023 Philadelphia Eagles Preview Philadelphia is coming off impressive regular season and playoff performances, but ultimately came up short in the big game in 2022. Super Bowl or bust yet again for Nick Sirianni's squad. The Eagles are net down from last season in white players, but up in...

    2022 Philadelphia Eagles

    2022 Philadelphia Eagles Preview A radical change in offensive game planning mid-season carried last year's Philadelphia squad to a surprise playoff berth.

    The Resurgent Lance Berkman

    One of the best stories of the 2011 MLB campaign has been the tremendous bounce-back season from St. Louis outfielder/first baseman Lance Berkman. St. Louis signed Berkman to a one year deal an offseason ago, and it struck many as a peculiar addition. As he would not occupy first base, the...

    Minnesota Twins second baseman Orlando Hudson believes that "racism" is the reason that free agent outfielder Jermaine Dye is out of a job.

    2010 Pro Bowl Rosters

    Pretty bleak stuff, as usual. Only two white defensive players were elected to the Bowl; DE Jared Allen of the Vikings and ILB Brian Cushing of the Texans. A ton of choices to take offense to here, and I don't even know where to start. EDIT: Learning to count. Edited by: PhillyBirds

    More inner-city academies.

    Baseball commissioner Bud Selig opens another African-American baseball academy, this one in Houston. LINK Think of the white talent that exists in college, while teams still select black players out of these "academies." What a waste of time, energy, and money.
