    2020 NFL Draft

    Buss falls into the same category of Riley McCarron. Potential as a return man with some possible wide receiver growth. One year on for Buss and two years for Riley both of their chances are very slim to almost nil. They don't exist. Speedy white fringe players are tossed overboard in quick...

    NFL News, Rumors and Musings

    Media hero WR Brandin Cooks was traded yet again. This time from the Rams to the Texans for a second round pick. Nice move by the Rams. Only 27, the Texans will be the fourth team he will be on in a career that features four 1,000 yard seasons beginning with the Saints in 2014. People might...

    2020 NFL Draft

    Good point. In fact WR Mason Kinsey isn't that far behind Chinn on the small school list of prospects but he is not penciled in as being drafted. Consider this too. Media hero and top 5-10 pick Clemson defensive prospect LB/hybrid Isaiah Simmons was a late bloomer. Tanner Muse has started for...

    Class of 2022

    To belabor a point well known here black prospects like receivers, running backs and defensive backs get a giant head start on white prospects when it comes to most recruiting classes but is especially noticeable with the younger classes. They get their name out there in the arena early and...

    Class of 2021

    Good things come in twos when it comes to white wide receivers. In 2019 UCLA brought in two with Chase Cota and Kyle Philips. Kansas is bringing in two for 2020, Kyler Pearson and Luke Grimm. And as reported Minnesota for the class of 2021 has speedster Brady Boyd to go along with Dino...

    I recall you raising this chemical hormonal imbalance connection subject quite a long time ago and good for you. It is a very important topic. I find, and perhaps you and others feel the same, that people often use harsh chemicals in a cavalier manner. Too many people liberally use pesticides...

    Natch aliens. I am the last person on earth who believes in that crap but hormonal disruption is a real thing. Think of the bee population in decline which has scientists worried. Hormone issues are often related to pesticides. I am deeply weary of being exposed to them although they are a...

    2020 NFL Draft

    The Year Of The (see black) Wide Receiver: A closer inspection. The media is all over this. What a tremendous class we are told until our ears bleed. From where I stand this year's WR crop is no better than other years. The only distinguishing factor is the complete lack of white receivers...

    2020 NFL Draft

    I'll be damned. What a terrific idea by this GM and one that didn't occur to me. I was focused on the expanded rosters but yes teams are hampered this year as they have much less to go on so it makes sense for them to expand the number(s) of draft rounds. Even without the limited pro days this...

    Why are blacks over represented in music?

    When I first heard Australian beauty Margot Robbie was cast as Jane in a new Tarzan movie I hit the roof. My mind went racing thinking about her wearing a fig leaf loincloth the entire movie swinging around from tree to tree. Perfect. Tarzan movie. The sequel to the original Tarzan was called...

    2020 NFL Draft

    Good stuff. Dean joins Nate Cottrell and Mason Kinsey as yet another white 4.3 plus runner. Dean has zero chance of getting drafted. But if he was black he would have a shot on a team. Return specialist Jo Jo Natson has been fully employed by the NFL for three years and he is 5'7" 150 pounds...

    You sure do get around down there in Texas Red raider ha. I like nothing better than speedy white receivers and Boyd fits that mold. Gophers could use an injection of white skill players. Three top tier receivers mentioned above include Troy Stellato and Brody Brecht and both are down to two...

    2020 NFL Draft

    Highly confident David Woodward will get drafted too. Another mystery player since his season ending injury was undisclosed and my radar thinks that affected his combine 40 time negatively. Comes from the same school as Kyler Fackrell. Two edge hybrid linebackers who also have a very good...

    Just an observation that might not be totally accurate but not everyone is sucking you know what during this crisis. You think toilet paper companies are suffering or other companies like Purell, Clorox and other ones that sell products that are indicated for use during this outbreak? Booze...

    2020 NFL Draft

    Barnes and Noble is closed in my state but I thumbed through a Lindy's draft guide over a month ago while they were still open. I have also seen the Athlon Sports draft guide at CVS etc. and thumbed through that as well. I like yearbooks for MLB ( I bought two this year), college basketball...

    What about natural immune boosters? Well probably won't make a difference but then again where would there be a full study? Vitamin C is an obvious choice and you can take a lot of it without worries. Vitamin D? Silver was being talked up but then the authorities slammed it. You have to watch...

    My two cents Westside, get out of dodge pronto and leave your stuff behind. While most younger healthier people can fight it off there is still a random nature to this sucker where some unlucky soul like this perfectly fit 40 year old athletic man who died the other day even after they plied him...

    Following up on the Gaither news Ohio State WR/PR DJ Saunders who missed last year to a knee injury is awaiting news if he too qualifies for a sixth year of eligibility. Red raider wrote about him last year. His head coach Ryan Day is optimistic he will receive it and we should know sometime...

    2020 NFL Draft

    Excellent question for a subject that has been carefully avoided by the media, owners and players. From an owner viewpoint it stands to reason they don't want more rounds because drafted players most likely means they have to pay out more due to guaranteed contracts etc. For the players I am...

    2020 NFL Draft

    In these eerie times I find it fascinating that I cannot find anyone in the known universe discussing the idea of expanding draft rounds especially in light of the fact that rosters will now be expanded with the new agreement. This strange silence coincides with this specter that is hanging over...

    This post might put a spring in the step of CF member Rocky but crazy times spawn crazy thoughts albeit some here might think I am crazy no matter what is going on in the outside world. But I want to put this out there since so little is going on in the sports world. While the white WR situation...

    2020 NFL Draft

    Eli Wolf was so underused first at Tennessee and then at Georgia who would have known? Certainly announcers wouldn't go out of their way to talk up the athleticism of a second thought white player. Even if you factor in the addition of .05 to the hand timed result he is still under 4.5 which is...

    I read this as good news for Gaither too seeing that he was on nobody's radar for this draft. It will give him another full season to boost his stock.

    I think it is a good time to point out the particular and peculiar nature of this problem and its wildly eerie effects on the psychological state of all of humanity. While if one is healthy and protected ( and if you aren't in the front lines) then the virus feels more like a nuisance rather...
