Anyone have a handle on what the various hand signals mean in the NFL?It seems to me that at least some of the gestures are gang related. There has been some reporting on this but no definitive explanations as far as I have seen. I I heard a sports writer remark that the increased number of...

Bear Backer - I agree that Garrard is asolid QB. If I am not mistaken, he has not thrown an interception all season. That is pretty remarkable. I don't know much about him but he doesn't seem like a thug or a Chad Johnson. Playing the game the right way is the white way. None of the winning...

I am out of the running in my football pool so was wondering if anyone has a list of the NFL teams with the most white starters so I can pick them just to make a point. I thought about picking only teams from red states but that would include Baltimore, NYG, Rams, Packers, Eagles, Pats, Seattle...

Voice - You make an excellent point. I remember an interview with Elwayin which he saidthat one of the biggest challenges he had was to resist the urge to throw every pass at top velocity. He just loved doing it. It took him a number of years to adjust to softer passes where called for. I also...

I can understand the point about the NFL not knowing the Dolphins would be such a miserable team but I'm not thrilled about this European stuff. Goodell has been quoted as saying that he would like to have the Superbowl played outside of the U.S. I think that would be a travesty. The Superbowl...

Great point, Wile. The internet and (some) cable TV shows have exposed the mainstream media and taken away some of it's power. Not enough, yet, but I am hoping the trend continues. Still, I sometimes feel like I am listening to Radio Free Europe when I listen to Rush. Rush points out that the...

I felt sick to my stomach when I watched Marvin Lewis stand on the sidelines looking the other way when Chad Johnson did his shennanigans on Monday Night Football earlier in the season. How in the hell is letting that nonsense take precedence over team performance going to improve his team's...

I have noticed that a number of black players seem to put an emphasis on looking cool over performance. Donovan McNabb is an example,I think. When it is time to lead a team with enthusiasm and confidence, as Garcia did last year, McNabb seems to put more importance in smiling, jiving and makin'...

Had a friend who served in the Navy aboard a battleship. He is 6,2 225 pounds. They had a fire drill and he was told to lie down as if wounded. Two chicks could not come even close to dragging him off the lower deck. After the drill, my friend went to his Commander and said, "Sir, if that had...

Good point! Every time I bytch about female reporters a friend asks me is she hot? That about says it. We want to look at women in the skimpiest clothing cheering and bouncing on the sidelines, not pretending they know what the hell they are talking about so ESPN can pat themselves on the head...

Is anyone as fed up with the chick reporters on the sidelines as I am? Worse, the inevitable happened when ESPN featured a woman in the booth on their preseason Dallas/Vikings game and it was laughable! it was obvious that she was listening to coaching inher head set andshe was just terrible...
