    NFL Week 1

    That is good news! He will revert back to the PS after the game. Rookie TE Tyler Davis isn't so lucky. He is out due to a knee injury. I may have this wrong (?) but I believe this means they can only yank Cottrell off the PS one more time this season. Unless they make him a full time roster...

    2020 College Football Week 2

    Can't completely ignore the undertow. The ACC will cancel their season if less than eight teams suit up on Saturdays. Virginia -Virginia Tech was just postponed and I believe Miami is dealing with an issue. About nine games have been either cancelled or postponed so far this season including...

    2020 US Open

    Not in a good mood. I have sat through crap Premier League games and half ass football games all day. But you can't say I didn't warn everybody here about the women's side of the US Open when all the top players pulled out. I sensed storm clouds and my intuition was right on. I am just as...

    2019-2020 NBA Season

    As the Bucks fell to the Heat I couldn't help thinking about the fate of their four white bench players. Ersan Ilyasova looked spent this year. I don't see much of a future there. Good player in his prime. Kyle Korver is 38 and it is amazing he has hung on this long when you consider he was...

    NFL/NBA players as the world's best athletes?

    Good to see that a baseball player is brought into the discussion too. You think of the raw animalistic athleticism of Mickey Mantle and Kirk Gibson. One could easily envision Mike Trout as a star running back in the NFL. While in general yes the decathlon is seen as determining the best "all...

    NFL Week 1

    The full fan impact of this "social" stuff is going to be hard to discern for a couple of reasons. All sports are experiencing lower ratings and some of that is attributed to BLM but sports seasons are playing off schedule now too and that contributes to the ratings. Now we are dealing with a...

    NFL Week 1

    I am excited and nervous at the same time when it comes to Miller, Watson and Isabella. Now they have a chance to strut their stuff and hopefully start on their way to long successful careers. But I also worry if they don't play well the axe might start showing up sooner than later. Coaches...

    2020 US Open

    Thiem took down Medvedev in three difficult and close sets and will face Zverev in the final. Zverev was impressive coming back two sets down to win going away. Medvedev got a little wonky arguing a call in the first set when he turned smartass but he didn't let his anger linger. He did get...

    2020-2021 Premier League

    This bumbling American who admits he doesn't understand the nuances of soccer as much as Europeans and Brits is still a big fan. I miss the thrill of sitting in spirited packed bars watching soccer but what can you do? I imagine all CF soccer fans will be rooting most for Chelsea which has some...

    Soccer 2020

    First game is Monday and it will be televised on NBCSN. An embarrassment of riches. It took me one second to make up my mind on which team I will be rooting for the most. Everywhere you turn there is a stud. Shouldn't we have a Premier League 2020-2021 thread?

    2020 Clemson Tigers

    This synopsis from a professor at Caste Football University offers an accurate snapshot of where the DB position stands at this time. Getting three DBs drafted in 2021 would be a big win in my book. Not a slam dunk by any means but at this point the situation is at a more promising level than...

    2020 Lousiville Cardinals

    Makes you wonder how the young fellow got out of high school alive? Ha. But his name is probably pronounced differently. But Gradey Dick, a top tier 2022 basketball player, has a last name announcers won't be able to finagle.

    2020 Kansas Jayhawks

    Oh man. Illustrates that the "go caste =winning" theory is based on shaky evidence. But the mention of RB Jake Sharp triggered big memories. Among my favorite all time white RBs Sharp was electric. And his exit from Kansas is a bit mysterious. He graduated in 2009 but prepared for the draft in...

    NFL Week 1

    I must be in the distinct minority here. Like most everyone here I don't bother with pre games or halftimes. Just switch it on during kick off. I pay no attention to the other stuff. I am able to watch the game and completely ignore all the periphery BLM ( which like everyone else here I feel is...

    2020 College Football Week 2

    Everything is not going off smoothly. As mentioned previously tonight's game SMU-TCU was postponed. Two other games involving Big 12 teams Oklahoma State and Baylor, both scheduled for TV tomorrow, have also been dropped. Usually on football Saturdays I have to switch channels around like crazy...

    2020 US Open

    If there ever was a time my long held prediction , which pre dates the entire tennis media, that Serena was not going to win another major would prove false , now was the time with a depleted women's field and fast courts. But it didn't happen as 31 year old veteran and two time grand slam...

    NFL Week 1

    Gentleman hate to inform you but neither one of you are late. In fact both of you are kicking off the season. And none of my business but I think both posters might be located in the UK which is kind of ironic as us state siders are sleeping on the side of the road. Ha. Kelce is my favorite TE...

    Class of 2021

    The nationally ranked fleet street Corner Canyon offense annihilated another team last week and look to do the same this Friday night. Are the big boys finally sniffing around yet? Well QB Jaxson Dart just got an offer from Iowa State. The WR corps of Heine, Hagen ,Kjar and Handley are key...

    2020 Clemson Tigers

    Thanks TwentyTwo. Terrific. There is a reason why the CF thug patrol forced you at gunpoint to write up Clemson. Ha. There is a bit of a mystery as to why Clemson has bucked the caste trends that are uniform throughout big time southern football teams. Before Dabo arrived at Clemson it was one...

    2020 US Open

    The semifinals are all set. And none of it feels right in this depleted tournament. Women play tonight with finals on Saturday at 4:00 and men play Friday with finals on Sunday at 4:00. As I had feared it looks like Osaka and Serena are on a collision course for the final. Former 25 year old...

    MLB 2020 Season

    Some highlights yesterday from the summer Softball/Little League, formerly know as Major League Baseball. Brewers 19 Tigers 0. Braves 29 Marlins 9. Expect wimp burger Rob Manfred to install a college softball mercy rule any minute now.

    2020 College Football Previews

    I think I have had my head in the sand for too long lately. Closely following the latest recruiting news I have developed a false sense of confidence that things are improving overall. But by sifting through a lot of rosters and depth charts I can't but help notice an unmistakable pattern. We...

    2020 US Open

    Rules? Courtesy of sports talk host Chris "Mad Dog" Russo said in anger that Djokovic getting booted was BS. He brought up a few fairly recent incidences where players crossed the "constitutional tennis rule book" and got away with it. One of the incidents was the 2018 US Open where Serena...

    2020 Virginia Tech Hokies

    Since 2005 white starters are 5,5,4,5,6,7,7,7,7,8,7,5,6,5 and 5 in 2019. This year looks like 4. Overall another barren ACC team. Ironic that some of the most caste teams out there will be playing this fall while the whiter friendlier Big Ten sits around picking their nails. Talk about having...
