Figure we should have a discussion thread, if anyone's interested. Big Ben runs it in for the first TD of the game. He looks sharp to begin it. Monty Beisel is also seeing some time as a situational LB for Arizona. I also just noticed that Pittsburgh has two white TEs listed as starters...

Is he in as a reserve, or a starter? Don't know how the NBA All-Stars work. Any other whites involved in All-Star weekend?

In terms of casual conversation, it's tough to find someone who views white athletes as equals. I make my affinity for whites known to my friends. The background on my laptop is Peyton Hillis, and someone remarked "What are you, racist?" I mean, really? However, finding someone who sees the...

Wow.

Unfortunately, the first thing I thought was "Gee, this makes Pittsburgh scouting a lot easier!" Sorry, LabMan.

Baseball commissioner Bud Selig opens another African-American baseball academy, this one in Houston. LINK Think of the white talent that exists in college, while teams still select black players out of these "academies." What a waste of time, energy, and money.

According to an ESPN source, Herman Edwards has been fired by the Kansas City Chiefs. Edwards was 15-33 in three seasons in KC, including a 2-14 2008.Edited by: PhillyBirds

My POLI105 (American National Government) class today was an hour and a quarter of watching CSPAN-2 coverage of the pre-inauguration. The professor just flipped it on, told us how "historic" it is, and said nothing more. I should probably write a letter to someone telling them of this...

My high school had a foreign language requisite, as does my current university. Since 5th grade I've been taught Spanish, and I have never really had a choice as to whether or not I wanted to learn another language. The schools are starting progressively earlier and earlier. With government...

Ho, boy. How about some numbers comparing rookie seasons numbers one and two? TW: .327avg (185 hits/565 at-bats) JR: .297avg (175 hits/590 at-bats) TW: 31 HR, 145 RBI JR: 12 HR, 48 RBI TW: 107 walks JR: 74 walks Are these even seriously comparable? Edited by: PhillyBirds

The Miami Dolphins have signed Kilmer to a contract. LINK

The Lions don't really have a choice, though. While they may be wary about drafting a QB high after Joey Harrington, they certainly can't go anywhere with Culpepper. To put it nicely.

Compare these divas to someone like, say, Dan Klecko of the Philadelphia Eagles. Klceko was the Big East Defensive Player of the Year as a senior at Temple University. The Patriots drafted him, but Dan ended up playing fullback after a D-line roster crunch. After he blew out his knee being...

This season was kind of a wash for Curtis, as he was hurt for about half of the season. A hernia can be a serious injury. He didn't have his speed back right away, and is I believe is getting it back a little now. That being said, having McNabb as a quarterback doesn't help. McNabb seems to...

Carlton was one of the exceptions that comes around every once in a while. He was so thouroughly dominant that he won in spite of being on a terrible Phillies team. His position that far down on the list is about as egregious a placement as could be made. He sure did. Carlton won 27 of his...

One thing you have to think about though, is what statisitcs the show's creators used to determine this list. While it seems unlikely that the MLB Network delved very deep into advanced sabermetrics, wins are not a very good indicator of how good a pitcher is by himself. A hurler's wins and...

New York Mets Class A minor league team, the Brooklyn Cyclones have changed their name to the Baracklyn Cyclones for one game to honor the President elect. A number of other off-color publicity stunts are going to be pulled as well: Link Seriously, reading through this it sounded like a...

Yeah, to Dungy's credit his Colts teams were moderately white-friendly. I respected him because he let Manning be the general out there and didn't really infringe on him at all. All we can hope is that this Caldwell fellow is a Dungy "disciple" as far as allowing a fre whites to play.

Mike Alstott is on ESPN talking about him now. Thoughts?

Sky is falling alert: Chase Blackburn gets an official start today for the Giants. LJ Smith starts at TE for the Eagles for some reason, thought they were past him. At least Aikman is calling it. He praised Stewart Bradley's speed on the first drive for NY. He'll keep it tolerable.

The Eagles have signed WR Danny Amendola to their practice squad. There was much recent speculation that he would reach some sort of contract agreement with Philadelphia. As witnessed with Mike Gasperson this offseason, the Eagles are unlikely to keep two white WRs on the roster. Curtis will...

Kind of upset that the Falcons lost too, but just maing the playoffs after the train wreck of last season is a minor miracle in and of itself. Welcome to the boards, Jack. I take it you've been lurking here for some time? Your knowlege of Caste-jargon is superb!

I must have missed the part where Tavaris Jackson was the starter all year. And won most of their regular season games. I'm not saying Gus Frerotte is good. But the results speak for themselves.Edited by: PhillyBirds

Unfortunately, I think this loss has the opposite effect on the Broncos. I think it prompts them to clean house, under the impression that they don not have a competent runner in the organization. Hillis will move back to "receiving fullback " and they'll go with Ryan Torrain, Selvin Young or...

My father's been a union Pipefitter for coming up on 30 years, and I can tell you, he's about as far from a leftist-liberal as you can imagine. I don't know the case elsewhere, but racial bias in unions is largely dependent upon the trade in question. Blacks have been pushed for years in less...
