Yes, I had seen indications Rush had left behind his NFL worship. He really had it when I listened to him. Around 1998-99, a caller got through who said massive immigration would ruin the country. Rush replied somewhat scornfully with standard Wall Street Journal boilerplate, "Immigration is...

If Rush Limbaugh had ever said what some Caste Football posters wanted him to say he would have been kicked off the air immediately. Rush went about as far as he could go and still keep his job. In 2016, Rush favorably read a Samuel Francis essay, as prefiguring the Trump campaign. He probably...

I thought I would put up a thread about Bob Chandler, Wide Receiver for the Bills and Raiders 1971-82. From 1975-78 Chandler caught 220 passes for the Buffalo Bills, more than any other receiver in the NFL during those years. He never made the Pro Bowl or higher than second-team All-Pro. After...

Absolutely. I've been around a long time and there is every reason "to be bitter about these things." I can't begin to express the CONTEMPT I feel for the, shall we say hypocrisy. The DWFs (a term coined by Don, I believe) never notice their hero worship of blacks is never reciprocated. Not one...

Tom Brady winning his 7th Super Bowl title at age 43 is like nothing else in football history. Remember, Brady was a 6th round draft choice and wasn't highly touted coming out of college as Peyton Manning was. There will be more great white QBs. Tom Brady was the second QB to win a Super Bowl...

Were you around then? They were.

Mantle and Dimaggio's deaths were big stories at the time.

The Modern Era selectees for the PFHOF Class of 2021: Peyton Manning Charles Woodson Calvin Johnson John Lynch Alan Faneca The lone Senior inductee is Drew Pearson. The Pittsburgh Steeler personnel operative Bill Nunn is a Contributor. Tom Flores is inducted in a new Coach category.

As of this moment, the "conservative" media pundits who claim to be sport fans haven't defended Tom Brady. Let's see if any of them do.

Thanks for writing this, right on target.

In 1961 (before the 1961 season) Sport Magazine had a poll of readers: "Who's better, Mays or Mantle?" Mickey Mantle won by a fair margin. Mantle (and the Yankees) were doing better at the time, though the poll was before Mantle hit 54 home runs (to Maris' 61) in 1961.

I saw Game Seven of the 1960 World Series on TV. We were out of school for cotton picking vacation, which we had in our rural Tennessee county. I still recall Bill Skowron's home run and Yogi Berra's three-run homer to put the Yankees ahead, and Hal Smith's that put the Pirates ahead 9-7 after...

In 1966, the Nashville Interscholastic League had white high schools playing black ones in football the first time. The season opened with Montgomery Bell Academy (Nashville's major prep school) playing all-black Pearl High. MBA won by something like 55-0. BTW future Steeler QB Joe Gilliam was...

Good point. Biden was worse than a flop his previous tries at the presidency. Obama probably picked him for VP because Biden was the weakest white man available. Obama figured Biden wouldn't be a threat to future nonwhite candidates. During the 2020 campaign, Biden couldn't draw 12 people. Then...

Austin was awarded the Silver Star in 2003 during "Operation Iraqi Freedom." He supposedly displayed "heroic leadership" as Assistant Division Commander of the Third Infantry Division. That's all the citation said. Go to Austin's Wiki biography, then the footnote concerning the Silver Star.

When I think of Don Sutton I always remember a game he pitched against the Atlanta Braves in 1967 that was shown on the Braves TV network. I just looked it up on Baseball Reference. Sutton pitched a complete game, winning 6-1, August 20, 1967.

Jon Arnett, legendary running back of the 1950's and early 60s, has passed away at 85. Arnett was known for his spectacular broken-field runs. He could be knocked in the air, land on his feet, and keep running. Arnett excelled as a pass receiver as well as returning kicks. Arnett was an All...

Drew Brees, Tom Brady, Peyton Manning for that matter, may see the system they spent a lifetime in enabling them to achieve fame and fortune. Brees could not fail to note he was viciously attacked by a "teammate" and the media for nothing. A few years ago a poster on this site hysterically...

Very true.

There are some items about Hugh McElhenny on the internet. One from 2019 described him as "a mythical figure who is largely forgotten today." I remember seeing McElhenny on TV playing a substitute role for the Giants in 1963. His speed was gone, but he still had some of his old moves. One was...

They're using the OC tag for the old TV Westerns on the Western Channel. It's starting to appear everyshere.

Today, December 31, was Hall of Fame RB Hugh McElhenny's 92nd birthday. He is legendary for his spectacular open field runs, some of which can be found on Youtube.

Getting back to the original subject of the thread, the entire film of the 1915 Willard-Johnson fight surfaced around 1968. It showed conclusively that Johnson tried hard to win the fight and was knocked out fair and square. Time magazine even did a story on it, calling Jess Willard "possibly...

Do you still claim Chavez Ravine was designed for Sandy Koufax because he was a Jew? When has Gene Tunney been "disparaged by the Jewish media?" Who gives a flying you-know-what if "some Jews have claimed him (Dempsey) as one of their own?" You are the one disparaging a white athlete (Jack...

Jack Cavanaugh's biography of Gene Tunney, which I referenced above, gave his record as 58 wins, one loss, 17 no decision, one no contest. Tunney's only loss was to Harry Greb in 1922 by 15-round decision. I'm not familiar with Ray "Windmill" White. I recommend doing a Google search. If there...
