Here (http://www.amnation.com/vfr/archives/023931.html) is Lawrence Auster's take at VFR on "Negro Professional Sports." According to Fox Sports, Belcher had a degree from the University of Maine in Child Development and Family Relations.

Allen Barra, whose latest book was a biography of Yogi Berra, has writen a book titled "Mickey and Willie: Mantle and Mays, The Parallel Lives of Baseball's Golden Age." The Amazon page (http://www.amazon.com/Mickey-Willie-Mantle-Parallel-Baseballs/dp/0307716481) says the book will be released...

Well, you are finally admitting the truth of our argument. Namely, if the NFL and the corporate sponsors fixed the games, there would have been many more black QBs winning Super Bowls. By the way, you DID argue that games were fixed for racial reasons.

Next week's episode will feature Barry Sanders.

I checked Pro Football Reference. In the first nine games of the 2011 regular season, Eric Decker caught 34 passes. In the last seven games, with Tebow starting, Decker caught 10 passes.

I agree about Tebow. He hasn't shown the throwing ability he would need as a starting QB.

A decade ago, even Vanity Fair magazine was predicting QB would soon be a black position in the NFL.

John Riggins went to Redskin coach Joe Gibbs before the 1982 playoffs and said, "Give me the ball."

I've seen plenty of QBs with a 5-6 record.

"I just don't know how to answer the question. I have never posted anything about conspiracies or fixes. I just can't buy that he's playing this well." Just what do you mean?

Why are Brady and Manning's receivers so wide open? Why has NFL Fixing Inc. allowed Peyton Manning to have such a good year?

Most any RB wants 95% of the carries if he can get them. So would Gerhart.

The John Riggins episode premieres tonight (Wednesday) on the NFL Network at 8 pm ET and runs the rest of the week.

Don, Thanks for the kind words. When you look at things from the historical viewpoint, it means examining BOTH sides of an issue. I didn't say Charlie Sanders "belongs in the HOF," rather I called him a marginal choice. Dick Lebeau, who is white, is also a marginal HOF selection. In particular...

On Wednesday, November 21, "A Football Life" features John Riggins.

His situation is not a whole lot different from being on the Cowboys in the Nineties playing behind Emmitt Smith. Yes, it would give him the image of a career backup.

Allow me to tell an anecdote about Jerry Smith. I recall seeing an interview of him in which Smith said that people were often surprised that he was white. The reason? Jerry Smith played college ball at Arizona State and in the 1960's, almost all former Arizona State players in pro football...

Tonight, the NFL Network features Jimmy Johnson. Next week has a rerun of the Ray Lewis episode. Later in the year there will be shows concerning Marcus Allen and Barry Sanders. There is still another upcoming "A Football Life" show CF members should find very interesting.

Another poster expressed curiosity about BR's previous "fixing" posts, so I went back and found the one about this playoff game of three years ago. Want me to produce the one ("Another Fixed Super Bowl") about Super Bowl XLIV? Or when you wrote that white players accepted the fixing? I never...

Above is an example of Bigunreal claiming the 2009 Cardinal-Packer playoff game was fixed and scripted.

By your reasoning, the NFL from 1933-45 and the pre-1968 SEC were not "legitimate." Blacks weren't allowed in the SEC and there weren't any in the NFL in 1933-45. Whatever the parameters, if the players are out to win, the games are legitimate. This includes Wilson playing for Seattle. We all...

So you're back to saying the games are fixed again? Why didn't they fix it for Vick and the Eagles to have a winning season? If they can fix it for RGIII to have few turnovers, why not arrange for him to have more wins?

During the discussion on Kilmer, they pointed out that Kilmer's body didn't compare to Cam Newton's. Also, they ran the RGIII commercial THREE times during the hour-long program.
