    NFL News, Rumors and Musings

    You like high drama? James Bond movies? Hitchcock movies? I do I do I do and then some. Well the Giants are for you then. Too bad one of the plots involves that underwear rearranging situation of white on white crime. You said you wanted drama. Ha. There is no young QB I would want today to...

    NFL News, Rumors and Musings

    Edge Clay Matthews looked like he regained his form last season but the Rams let him go. He has yet to be signed so I suspect someone will nab him within the next week? Who will it be? Seattle? The schizophrenic Rams are looking to cut WR JJ Koski who went undrafted like all the other white...

    Strip away several top players from the 49ers and you are looking at a caste outfit. Beyond DE Nick Bosa, who is easily their best defensive player, I don't think there is another white defender on the roster? The return of WR Trent Taylor helps sweeten the pot and who doesn't like TE George...

    Seattle has long been a thorn in the side. Like a long duration bad cold you just can't shake them as they hang around near the top every year. Wiggle master Wilson is particularly dangerous in the second half of games. But I detect some slippage too. They haven't been in a Super Bowl for a...

    Thanks for the breaking news regarding Chisena. This is an important development but only if Chisena lands on the practice squad. Normally if a team shifts a wide receiver to safety it annoys the hell out of me. But Chisena is a special case. First he has safety size at 6'3" 203. Secondly even...

    2020 US Open

    I watched the match and was happy to see Coco go down. I thought her opponent was on the verge of gagging but she weathered through and hung tough. The lack of what would have been overwhelming Coco crowd backing might have played a role. Good point. I look at it this way. It seems inevitable...

    MLB 2020 Season

    I was checking in on this "game" because I believe it seemed like it was the only one going to be played that night. It sure looked like they were going to until they pulled the rug out at the last minute. But this nasty incident further illustrates what I said earlier and that is this BLM...

    Just to piggyback on the potentially good news emanating out of Jets camp ( see two informative posts above) the 53 man roster situation offers little intrigue.

    Caste tendencies in wide positions

    This post touches on my worst fears and something I have noticed that has accelerated in the past few years in soccer. It can be related to so many sports. Like the centerfield position in baseball. Or wide receivers, defensive backs and running backs in football. Or point guards and wing...

    2020 Boston College Eagles

    Thanks for the write up Leonardfan. I must say I am surprised by the sparse outlay. As indicated this is an all time low for BC. Too bad. In general I have been a steady fan of the program. They aren't really on say Iowa's level ( who is?) but on average their caste gauge has been better than...

    Yes I basked in the glow as S Daniel Sorensen and TE Travis Kelce took starring roles as the Chiefs marched their way to a stirring Super Bowl victory. They displayed transcendent talent and were two notable key cogs for the Chiefs glorious season. But this is a team that has downshifted. Not...

    2020 College Football Previews

    Ha. I am glad you only assigned me two teams. I am not properly prepared to to do write ups this year because I haven't bought any yearbooks. I decided to skip the expensive Phil Steele magazine, which was my main source last year, since half the teams aren't playing. Money is beyond tight...

    Searching looking kicker hum he doesn't look all white, don't mind me, lets see THERE I found one. The punter is white. Bryan Anger # 9 on the Texans. Who says the NFL lacks diversity? What is left to say. J.J. Watt is an all time great but perhaps after all the missed time, age and injuries...

    2020 US Open

    It has become routine the past week for athletes to speak up on the decidedly bogus BLM stuff but I try to ignore it and move on. Osaka though crossed the lines in more ways than one. That genocide comparison was disgusting. Plus she played games. In a huff she withdrew from the tournament and...

    Speaking of the Bears and Nagy ( see above post) their QB Mitch Trubisky is the QB the media dumps on the most. Mitch is at his best running around and making plays with his athleticism and legs. Nagy instead put him in a straight jacket last year and kept him in the pocket. Nagy looks like a...

    I tend to agree that Aaron is showing some signs of slippage but like Tom Brady it is from such a high pedestal that it isn't detrimental to the team as far as I can tell. If discussing a team that has been the most consistently dreary caste by the numbers outfit over the years the Lions would...

    I'll get this out of the way. I do not like the Broncos. This is a team that is built on caste principles. The most intriguing thing about them is their QBs. Starter Drew Lock is a very good athlete. I was surprised to see Jeff Driskel as the back up. Driskel has bounced around ( Lions...

    And now the late night comedy team that keeps Bucky tossing and turning at night. For years the Packers plot is simple enough for first graders to understand. They are successful because of QB Aaron Rodgers. He is roughly 90% of the reason they contend every year. Take Aaron off the team and the...

    They might as well rename the Panthers as "Christian McCaffrey and the 52 Dwarves." The Matt "Ghoul" era has begun. As predicted here HC Rhule had arguably the worst caste infested draft. They had the temerity to complain that the Saints stole QB Tommy Stevens from them. No you dolts. Want a...

    Nothing of importance to report regarding the Falcons. It appears they will keep hybrid FB/TE Luke Stocker on the roster. Look for talented DE John Cominsky to play a bigger role and of course they brought in a very athletic TE in Hayden Hurst but lost productive TE Austin Hooper. Overall...

    No drama with the Las Vegas Raiders. They brought in three outstanding defenders for all three levels, Carl Nassib, Nick Kwiatkoski and Jeff Heath. That is called big time poaching from clueless teams. They even did a cute thing recently by having players wear classic Raider uniforms. TE Jason...

    I agree. The Ravens caught people on their heels last year but defensive coaches have had a full year to access the "novelty" and will be better prepared. The Bills added MLB AJ Klein who has gotten better each season with the Saints and ex Steelers LB Tyler Matakevich who is a lock to make the...

    As well as the Ravens played last year I just don't believe they can go all the way. In fact I think there will be some backsliding this year. They lost TE Hayden Hurst. They still have outstanding TE Mark Andrews their best receiver but it was their two tight end sets that teams had most...

    2020 US Open

    Normally I would be chomping at the bit but with six out of the top ten women not playing and Nadal and an injured Federer not playing the air has been let out of the balloon big time. The Western and Southern Open which is a big staple late summer Midwest hard court tournament was played at...

    Good stuff Don. I liked Tranquill as a player but even I was surprised how great he played last season. A true heat seeking missile who can obviously handle the passing game due to his experience as a DB at Notre Dame. Along with my new favorite NFL defender ( sadly previous favorite Luke...
