QB Max Duggan is back with the team he will be competing for a starter role.

I wouldn't be surprised. I have noticed at the high school levels a decided increase in black players in the top 100 prospect lists. I hazard to guess roughly a 10-20% increase. In a top flight all star game coming up 8 position players are black. Out of the top ten 2021 prospects 3 are black...

I just want to interject how fun it is to read these lists. Everybody has an awesome list with no exceptions. Now most newer members who have popped in the past year or two show up for a spell and then exit. And some posts while sharp get lost in the slipstream of the threads. But I just...

Spot on. I watched the entire Tampa game and CM literally had no room to run. If it was a back like Barkley his stat line would have read 20 carries for negative 5 yards. Also without lynchpin white star Luke Kuechly on D ( btw he was on the ESPN2 telecast last night and said CM is the...

Tough chore this. You just feel guilty leaving people out. Hard to narrow down to ten. How could I leave out the great T.J. Watt? But you have to leave players out. Sometimes it was an either /or like I could have replaced Troy Apke with Jeff Heath. Then again Jeff played fetch on special teams...

Hendrickson played like an all pro last night. He displayed a very impressive burst and looked dominant. He is in his fourth season and at 25 years old looks like a natural starter and potential star. But they have been playing footsies with him from the start. He played sparingly his first two...

I think there is some merit to this comment. But I also think it is fully ingrained into the national psyche. It is a natural reflex now for fans to target white defensive backs. They see one and their first instinct tells them something is wrong. It has turned into a national touchstone to the...

Notice how plush the field looks? Yes that is grass. They move it in on a tray for Raiders games. So much nicer than that crap that they use in Jersey where half of the 49ers team ended up in the infirmary. Another year and Taysom Hill is still relegated to being gimmick man. Watching the slow...

An inauspicious start for a young talented Chelsea squad. Frank Lampard better get his team together. Too much talent to be floundering around. I don't like Liverpool. Today Manchester City won 3-1 with glue player Kevin De Bruyne scoring as well as ultra talented youngster Phil Foden. On that...

Congratulations to Simona Halep and Novak Djokovic for their recent 2020 US Open championships. They followed up those winning ways with victories today on French Open clay court warm up tournament The Italian Open. Good job both. OK on to the French Open in another week. Wait. What? Simona...

Taysom Hill and Matt Jones (former Arkansas starting QB) were quarterbacks in college and transitioned in the pros. It looks like this maneuver will hang Plumlee out to dry and if he doesn't end up being a starting QB his chances of getting any NFL interest will be reduced. Some here have...

Carter Whitt, the flashy 6'2" PG from the class of 2021 has chosen Wake Forest. He isn't athletically in the league of say Jason Williams (White Chocolate) but he shares the same kind of crowd pleasing aspects to his game. He is a tremendous passer. The class of 2022 is starting to settle in...

The 49ers are flaming mad and are blaming the sticky field turf at MetLife field for their rash of devastating injuries. And guess what? They head back there Sunday to play the Giants. I have banged the drum about field safety for some time now. When the owners and players reached an agreement...

Just a couple of announcers I want to mention and a hilarious video in case you missed it. Fox color man Daryl Johnson did the Washington game last week and I was impressed. I don't want to make blanket statements on announcers without hearing a full range of games by them but Johnson strikes me...

Thanks to yuri and Don for keeping this thread alive. Due to the congested sports schedule I haven't watched enough of the playoffs. But two story lines of significance are emerging. Tampa Bay speed demon Brayden Point got banged up in the Islanders series and most think he hasn't been himself...

Those refs from the Chargers game need to be suspended. Subjective calls are one thing and they can initiate long winded arguments. But this was a standard rote auto pilot call. When a player takes his helmet off on the field of play it is a 15 yard penalty. Nothing to discuss or contemplate...

Nice over the head catch for Edelman. Has a beefy 5-116 stat line so far tonight. Rex 4 catches for 47 yards. But the Pats defense has been terrible .

The best analogy is that scene from "Frankenstein" where the townsfolk gathered their pitchforks and torches as they hunted down the monster. The internet chatter regarding Troy Apke is the ugliest I believe I have ever witnessed. Profanity laced with a hatred that knows no bounds I would be...
