    2019-2020 NBA Season

    The Doncic-Porzingis White combo (mentioned above) does rank high. Steve Nash and Dirk Nowitzki were also Dallas teammates from 1998-2004 and oddly never played in a championship. Their teams were pretty good but the best result for them was a loss in a conference final to the Spurs in 2003...

    TwentyTwo's thought about BYU joining the Mountain West is as plausible as any other scenario. Meanwhile the Big 12 has opted for a 9 game in conference schedule with an added non conference game which will likely be played prior to the conference games. They join the ACC in having an added non...

    Ohio State head coach Ryan Day is doing a terrific job bringing in top flight stellar White front seven defenders. Simple formula for me on how to get on my good side? Recruit highly rated White defenders. Like so many powerhouse Power 5 teams the Buckeyes have been coming up short when it comes...

    The Big 12 could announce as early as Monday their plans. I suspect they will lay out a conference only schedule. I have also heard rumors the ACC may can their one non conference games and go strictly for a conference only schedule. If both of these things happen then all Power 5 conferences...

    High School Basketball Prospects

    More 2021 news and tidbits. Two names to keep an eye on are 6'7" SF Payton Sandfort (Stanford has offered) and Landon Wolf a 6'5" SG out of Iowa. C Nathan Bittle, the second highest White prospect in the class has narrowed his schools down to UCLA, Oregon, Arizona and Gonzaga. The best player...

    I agree good riddance to Golic. I suspect most here at CF don't watch or listen to the ESPN chat radio/TV shows and even I have gotten out of the habit. The sports pause washed ESPN chat shows out of my system. But sadly Golic getting canned will have no affect on their caste ways. In fact they...

    2019-2020 NHL Season

    One of the beauties of sports is it's simplicity. Dumb fun diversion from the everyday bore and grind. Too bad the NHL has opted for complexity when it comes to their restart schedule. They have decided for the trigonometry (ha) approach in regards to their new restart scheduling scheme. I won't...

    The SEC is following in the footsteps of the Pac 12 and Big Ten by having a 10 game conference only schedule which I believe starts in late September. That leaves the Big 12 who will likely make an announcement next week. It is important to keep in mind all this might be for naught since...

    I guess these black players have never heard of that famous term to describe Iowans "Iowa Nice?" The feeling is Iowans are middle of the road politically ( no Nazis or ANTIFA types). By the way there are probably what a total of what ten to fifteen actual Nazis in the USA. Iowans are known for...

    High School Basketball Prospects

    2021 6'2" PG Angelo Brizzi has committed to Villanova. HC Jay Wright, who has already won two championships with notable White players on the roster, reminds me a little of a young Coach K. A smart savvy coach who prioritizes team play and brings in a fairly steady line of White players. Brizzi...

    Some recent commits. Two tight ends: Bentley Redden ( also a DE) to BYU. Gunner Helm to Texas. I get the feeling WR Jake Smith will be the last White WR Texas recruits for the next several decades but they tolerate bringing in a White TE. Three safety commits: Colby Huerter (6'1" 190) to...

    NFL News, Rumors and Musings

    Earlier in the year Panthers RB CM signed a well deserved record contract for a running back. Now Chargers DE Joey Bosa has signed a five year extension for 135 million that runs his contract through the 2025 season. It is a record contract for a defensive player. And also well deserved. Joey...

    2020 NFL White Purge

    Whether one thinks WR Chris Finke has an future NFL career or not when I saw up above he was cut already I grew suspicious. Didn't they just open training camps? Seemed way too fast for him to have been cut already. Well it turns out he never suited up for the 49ers due to a non football...

    Black Privilege

    Steve Sailer ( tongue in cheek) doesn't think the capitulation of the letter b in "Black" and the usage of the small letter w in "white" doesn't go far enough. Another spot on piece by Steve that exposes the rank ludicrous rancidity of our current state of affairs...

    Soccer 2020

    Before I get to some congratulations Traore above is the opposite of a player that represents the "beautiful game." He is built like an American football player loaded up on steroids. First off people here in the USA often have a snobbish attitude towards England (and France too) but England...

    Lately it seems a lot of White prospects are staying home. I sort of like that myself although I was hoping Schabert would land on a Power 5 school. He had some offers. But FAU has been high on Schabert's list from the beginning. A lot of upside. Let's see if it gets tapped? Sebastian Sager is...

    High School Basketball Prospects

    2021 is that rare exception where White prospects land inside the top ten. 2022 is more true to form where you don't see top White players until the 20-40 range. Generally White prospects make anywhere between 8 -15 % of the top 100 players every year. Early reports on 2023 look real bad. Not...

    Quick play the lottery Sean89. Right after you brought up Daniel Podence he headed in a score. Kismet. Podence caught my eye a couple of weeks ago. His quickness is outrageous. Diminutive Portuguese whirlwind is a super fun player to watch. Too bad young Chelsea MF Billy Gilmour is out for a...

    MLB 2020 Season

    The brief preseason kicked off Saturday. The Yankees played at Citi Field against the Mets and there was no crowd noise. But they did have cardboard cut out pictures of fans plastered on the seats behind home plate. Looked like the cover of the Sgt. Pepper album. In a word stupid. Last night at...

    The Violence of "Black Lives Matter"

    I suppose a few brownie points for the shapely young lady protester in Portland last night who caused the "traffic to stop" by prancing around in the buff. Kept things interesting for a spell. If I was on the force I would volunteer to install my self into the evidence department by carefully...

    Looking at Virginia HC Bronco Mendenhall's defensive recruiting haul for 2021 two other White "hybrids" are on the list to join Jackson. Not sure if DE/OLB Josh McCarron ( 6'4" 215) was mentioned in an above post but he is a terror off the edge. Add rangy S West Weeks ( 6'2" 200) who like...

    James Jackson is a 6'3" 200 athlete that played a lot of wide receiver but he will end up as a defensive hybrid. Big time downhill speed with the kind of ranginess to cause havoc. Nice pick up for Virginia. Ivy League schools not to mention several other Power 5 schools were chomping at the bit...

    Baseball and Football Crossover Athletes

    Josh Booty I thought of Tim Tebow and his famous QB years with Florida and then Denver. He is currently a Mets minor leaguer but Tebow's foray into baseball was definitely something he did as a last resort after his NFL chances ended, prematurely in my estimation. Josh Booty was a little...

    The Combine and Pro Days -- the Caste System by the Numbers

    I wanted to piggy back on the Chisena discussion above so I figured this is a good spot for an update on the UDFA wide receivers. From my "I'm not a GM but I play one on TV" impersonation I would have recruited Chisena out of high school but I wouldn't have drafted him because as many know I am...

    Still early in the class of 2022 process as names start to dribble out over time but for now I noticed around eight White players listed as athletes who were listed in the top 80 on the 247 website. Three really jumped out of the page. Cooper Barkate out of big school in California is a 6'0"...
