What's good for laughs are posters dumber than a sack of hammers.

A commenter explained that Jerry Kramer got the wood in his body from a freak accident while working on a barn. The shotgun wound was from a hunting accident. I recall a Sport magazine piece on Kramer by Dick Schaap in which the theme was that Jerry Kramer is a fellow that things happen to. I...

I saw a special about the case on the Investigative Discovery Channel a few days ago. It was titled something like "Beauty and the Blade Runner." It will be repeated on Saturday morning March 9 at 8am ET. Those interested can set their DVR. The program showed how white people have to live in...

His name was Alger Hiss, not Albert Hiss. The JFK Conspiracy believers are always good for laughs.

Funny thing, I can't count the number of times I've seen Notre Dame (or sometimes Ronald Reagan) criticized because the real George Gipp wasn't the way he was portrayed in "Knute Rockne All-American." Another angle for ND critics is that Gipp didn't really tell Rockne to "win one for the Gipper"...

A college professor acquaintance of mine told me a few years ago how glad he was that today's white college students "aren't racist like their parents and grandparents." I then asked him why this affection that whites show for blacks is pretty much not returned. He couldn't really answer me and...

The "libertarians" never understand that open borders results in a population totally dependant on the state. I've come to believe it is either sheer stupidity by the so-called libertarians or a desire for social acceptance.

If Dorner wanted to shoot it out with the LAPD and go down with guns blazing, he could have already done so, or still could. Instead, he seems to be in hiding, probably with assistance.

The least skeptical and most gullible people in the world are those who believe in conspiracies.

Absolutely. Furthermore, only three black QBs have ever started a Super Bowl game. I've written many times on the Forum how sportswriters, columnists, and TV talking heads have pushed the issue since the 1960s.

As said before on the Forum, Jim Plunkett was never considered a "minority" QB. He was thought of as white during his playing career.

I recall Izenberg back in the 1960's. He was one of the writers from those days who wrote often about black ball players and prizefighters.

I've seen them all. The first championship game I recall viewing was the 1958 Colt-Giant "Sudden Death" game. A funny thing about Super Bowl I in January 1967 was that hardly anybody outside of Kansas City was rooting for the underdog Chiefs. Since the Packers were "whiter" than the Chiefs...

Yawn. I was mocking ESPN for their concern about Jackson being "forgotten." By your own account, you are too stupid to understand or appreciate irony. I started the thread hoping Johnny Manziel would be awarded the Heisman Trophy tonight.

The Heisman Trophy will be presented tonight (Saturday December 8) on ESPN at 8pm ET. Right after, ESPN has a "30 for 30" on Bo Jackson. The theme is that Bo is in danger of being forgotten after being an icon of the 1980's.

The Barry Sanders episode premieres tonight (Wednesday) and runs the rest of the week.

I came across another MSM commentator who endorsed Whitlock's column with the "I don't always agree with Whitlock" qualification. It was probably for the same reason.

If Peterson is healthy and going well, he is going to play almost every down.

In case you haven't noticed, the fellow ahead of Toby Gerhart on the depth chart is pretty good. It was somewhat strange that Gerhart wasn't drafted by somebody who needed a RB to come in and start. It has also been said (by J.B. Cash) on the Forum that this was not so strange after all.

Most of the comments by DWFs have been the usual hand-wringing "Prayers to the family" type.
