    NFL 2015 - Week 5

    Collinsworth was making me sick last night; at times, clearly making up non-sense to prop up Kaepernick. The problem is, even at his best, Kaepernick is still only about the 20th best qb in the league. These commentators keep talking about him as though he's this elite talent that's having a...

    NFL 2015 - Week 5

    - After a decent game last week, Fleener goes back to being ignored. No catches for Fiedorowicz either. - Nice game by both Hoyer and Hasselbeck. Really, Mallet was playing pretty good too until he was injured. Considering sports media's blitzkrieg on white QBs, I guess this is a positive...

    Texans' starting ILB Mike Mohamed was put on season ending IR. Mohamed was battling a strained calf since week 4 of preseason, and was nearly set to start practicing again, until GM Rick Smith pulled the plug. Mohamed is seeking an injury settlement so he can possibly sign with another team...

    Yes, Klein looked really good. He was all over the field. Now with Jared Allen and whenever Kuechly returns, this will be a nice defensive unit to follow. If only Colin Jones can find a way to sneak on the field....

    NFL 2015 Week 3

    If Suh were being triple-teamed, then the Miami's LBs and DEs would be dominating. It's amazing how the media just makes stuff up. It's even more pathetic seeing former players on tv outright lying. It really kills the credibility of the entire league. I guess they know most of their...

    White Quarterbacks

    I've been watching the pregame shows this morning and it's an all out assult on white QBs: Weeden is scared. Cousins doesn't have 'it'. Whatever 'it' is... Stafford is in for a rough night against Denver. One of the Dolphins' sumos is down with an injury, so Tannehil will struggle. Clausen is...

    That was insane; I had to rewind it a few times! Poz and Clay each had a very nice INT also.

    NFL 2015 Week 1

    It looked like Hodges was rotating with Kendricks for most of the game, however both looked lost. I'm sure Cole will be in the lineup soon enough. It was good to see Sendejo starting at safety alongside Smith. He played really well for most of the game but for some reason, they put Blanton...

    White starters about the same as last year

    Thanks; it seems like hated white safeties are broken into those two schools of dwf thought. With Linebackers, it's broken into 3 categories: 1- can't get off blocks; examples include: Mark Simoneau, Peter Sirmon, Miles Burris. 2- not athletic enough to cover; examples: Scott Shanle, AJ...

    NFL 2015 Week 1

    I agree, Foles can be great, but he's going to have to do it by himself this year. RBs always injured, the line is atrocious, the receiving corps is pretty much made up of draft busts over the last few years, and they have probably have the worst starting TE in the league... Hopefully Long ad...

    NFL 2015 Week 1

    ESPN, as if their morning show wasn't bad enough with Chris Carter and Keyshawn Johnson, add Steven A Smith to that garbage panel, and you have probably the most unwatchable pregame show ever... Amazing how that bigmouth even still has a job; they had to find some bit to get him on NFL...

    White starters about the same as last year

    There seems to be two types of hate for white safeties... 1 - You're a young player so naturally make a few mistakes, and they want you gone... because you're white, you'll never develop into a great safety. -or- 2 - You're a good, but not a great safety, and due to stereotypes, the...

    White starters about the same as last year

    I think Houston has the best front 7 in football, with the Rams a close 2nd. However, I agree, they need safety help bad!! Prosinski would be a great option, or maybe Brian Suite or Landon Feichter? Both were recently cut, and definitely have the skills to play in this league. Also, mark my...

    Annual NFL White Purge 2015

    That's exactly what will happen. I think someone said the Eagles will have 24 whites on their roster this year. I guarantee that number will be cut in half by 2016, mostly because Kelly and the Eagle organization will be in damage control to, as you say, prove they're not racist. Sad, but...

    Annual NFL White Purge 2015

    I think both Sunseri and Tarpinan were cut because they were injured. In the article I read about Sunseri, they say the Saints will likely retain his rights if he clears waivers, but he'll be placed on IR. I really hope another team picks him up, because even at full health, I don't see him...

    MNF - Bengals v Bucs Good news - AJ Hawk started at LB for the Bengals Bad News - Chris Conte did not start for the Bucs... No sign of Morgus Hunt or Rex Burkhead thus far. Winston sacked and Gruden immediately blames OT Reed Fragel. I guess Gruden nor Winston realize when the QB takes a 12...

    "Jordy-Jordy-Jordy"

    So no official word yet on the severity of the injury, and I realize this is a serious injury no matter how you slice it. In trying to be as optimistic as possible, if it is in fact a tear, is there a chance at all he could return to action by week 8-10-12ish?

    NFL Preseason 2015

    How's Bryan Braman doing? Hopefully he can take the starting OLB spot from Brandon Graham. How was Prosinski and Maragos' performance? I agree. I can't imagine they'll stand pat with Jelani Jenkins, Koa Misi, and Chris McCain... Morris started and played the entire game; wasn't quite as...
