This WR Mason Kinsey is becoming very interesting. Lauded for great practices this week I just read an article that said that said he won't be invited to the combine. Why not? I am so sick of the NFL shutting the door on worthy white players. We have seen teams draft black small school long...

As I am watching this East West Shrine game that appears to be going nowhere the NFL combine NFL network coverage will be shifted from the mornings to the afternoon and prime time. I am trying to figure out when the 40 yard dash times will be run every day? See below the new schedule. I am...

Except for the last two players I mentioned I have focused on these players because of their excellent run/jump athletic abilities. That is the common thread among them. They happen to be "scrubs" in your book but all of them are young except for Pat C so the hope is many of them become starters...

Mel Kiper made a salient point this morning. The media call is that the Titans rise is all due to RB Henry and their "underrated" defense. Mel quickly dismissed that by saying all of those things were in place before Tannehill started and Henry's production wasn't all that great. The Titans were...

Always a bit humiliating to go from head honcho to OC but to help their green head coach the Giants have hired ex Cowboys HC Jason Garrett. Which begs the question. Why didn't they just hire Jason as their head coach? Well at least he will be working with QB Daniel Jones who I think could end...

Some news and notes from the NBA. By the way first round draft pick for the Pacers Dylan Windler won't play at all this season with a stress fracture. Too bad I was looking forward to seeing him. Luka Doncic put in a long step back rainbow to finish off Portland last night. Having closely...

Having watched S Cliff Harris play throughout the 70's I believe he is a first rank Hall Of Famer. As for why he wasn't chosen earlier I can't speak to that but he is there now where he belongs. Yes there was a time when some of the best athletes on football teams played safety. Harris was...

There are enough white players of note to make the East West Shine game worth watching see post above. I believe Northwestern MLB Paddy Fisher has decided to return to Northwestern for his senior year. His tackling numbers were a little down this year and perhaps he figures he needs to make a...

The Pistons upset the Celtics and Svi might have had his career game scoring 21 on 6-9 shooting. He dished out 5 assists plus nailed a super long heave before the clock ran out. Svi is getting more minutes because Luke Kennard has been out with an injury. It spoiled the terrific performance by...

Glasgow played LB at Michigan this season and performed well. In a fair world he would slip in as a late round choice but who knows. By the way S Tanner Muse, (who I don't think is playing in any post season all star game?) here is my thoughts. A superb athlete and people may not know this but...

Thanks sports historian, nice synopsis. I can't speak about several of the players listed but I have grave doubts about Eagles WR Harold Carmichael. Doesn't jump off the page for me at all. Steve Sabol I give a big thumbs up. His innovative highlight films memorialized in his many Super Bowl...

That was what I was trying to "awkwardly" express. The money issue is likely another factor although that wouldn't be the case of the Oklahoma TE bolting or WR Ryan Swope never playing a down in the NFL. We are going to have to learn to live with this new troubling reality. Which is why I get...

Bingo. This is the new reality and it appears that "injury" issues forcing early retirements seem to affect the white stars more than the black players. At least that is the feeling I get. Think of the major NFL stars who recently bolted like Gronkowski and of course Andrew Luck. In their cases...

I posted this in the NFL news thread. Brutal and depressing news.

Jump off a bridge news. Carolina LB stud of the ages Luke Kuechly has announced his retirement. This goes back to what I brought up in a post that head injuries are becoming a serious issue for NFL players and will most certainly factor in on a lot more early retirements than we have ever seen...

The Red Sox reading the tea leaves have said goodbye to Alex Cora anticipating his soon to be announced suspension. Someone pointed out the Astros have low first round draft picks so the "penalty" isn't all that severe and neither is the drop in the bucket 5 million dollar fine. And I guess...

Despite the presence of the great QB Joe Burrow LSU is among the most caste teams in all of college football right up there with the likes of Florida and Florida State. Heck even Tennessee is a little less caste. LSU doesn't even have a white TE. Meanwhile Clemson employed four to five white...

And there is S Tanner Muse out there right now as one of the team captains for the coin flip. Mel Kiper sees him as a 5th or 6th round draft pick. I want Clemson to win so bad I might make myself sick. Ha.

After an MLB investigation the Astros got whacked for their cheating schemes in 2017 the year they won the WS. They were fined five million and lost their first round draft picks for 2020 and 2021. Manager AJ Hinch was suspended for a year as was their GM. Then the owner promptly fired both of...

With the big one just minutes away there is the tough and sad story about the Turner family and Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney. I have mentioned it before but below is a very detailed piece by ESPN on the story which is straight out of Hollywood. Go Clemson and go Stud Brothers!! (Tanner Muse...

Packers are sputtering. Rodgers was yelling out "yellow weasel" and as the announcers mentioned predictably it went nowhere. Trivial I know but why call a play yellow weasel? Why not "kick your ass" as a yell out before a play? And has anybody noticed that on several recent plays TE Sternberger...

The players were tougher back then that is irrefutable. Not even close. Tackling? Yes there was a time when many to most NFL defenses featured six or more white defenders and if you watch old Super Bowl footage you see perfect tackling techniques and ferocious physicality that did not include...

And a TE Jace Sternberger sighting. #87.

I will defer to you since you are closer to the situation but this must be a newish media mindset. Going back two to the past five years I read local beat writers beat the living daylights out of Sorensen and no one seriously considered him as starter material and the negative drumbeat was...

A minor incident in my book. Speaking of Edelman news just came out he played nearly the entire season with a torn rib cartilage which would have sidelined most all players. What did Edelman do this season? How about 100 catches with a career high 1117 yards at the age of 33. Saying he is...
