    2019 NFL Draft

    Excellent and comprehensive list Leo fan. I too have S Chris Johnson as a sleeper pick. Liked what I saw in his short stint in an all star game. I have two other sleeper picks. Bowling Green WR Scott Miller who I posted about above and BC KR/PR/WR Michael Walker. See below a recent interview...

    2019 NFL Draft

    It is rare for me to feel kind of good after a Senior Bowl but JC hits the nail on the head regarding the three white WRs. They all looked terrific. In fact Hunter Renfrow looked like a smaller version of Adam Thielen out there. And what a nice TD catch by Sills. The other nice thing was the...

    NFL News, Rumors and Musings

    When I first heard Steve Spagnuolo was named the new Chiefs DC I cringed. I just recall him having caste defenses with the Giants and figured Sorensen would get relegated to the bench. Oddly though when he was a HC for the Rams back when for a few years his teams weren't overly caste. Anyone...

    2019 Australian Open

    Osaka beats Kvitova. She had her but lost her grip but then recovered in a long three set affair. Not thrilled with the result. She is polite and thankfully not American but she dulls the hell out of me. And she is not white which is the dividing line for me. In an ironic twist Kvitova is...

    2018-2019 NHL Season

    The NHL All Star game is tonight. Last night they had the skills competition in what is roughly the equivalent of the 40 yard dash they had the fastest skater event. For the third straight year Connor McDavid won. And Buffalo star Jack Eichel came in second. There was even a chick skating and...

    NFL News, Rumors and Musings

    Last night they had a Pro Bowl fun and games (dodge ball etc.) thing and Adam Theilen and George Kittle were killing it. Anyway this Jets prick Jamal Adams thought it would be funny to smash the Patriot mascot. The mascot ended up in the hospital but is now ok. Not funny. In fact what he did was...

    NFL News, Rumors and Musings

    JC paints an accurate description of Cole's exciting athletic ability. Albeit I hazard to guess Edelman had similar speed in his prime. Both Hartline and Decker faded out without making much of a fuss. Beasley does not want to go the wallflower route. Not afraid to speak his mind remember last...

    2019 NFL Draft

    The Senior Bowl practices wrapped up and if I was to pool all of the commentary together I would give a D + or C- grade on how they graded white prospects. The black prospects as a whole got roughly a B+. In a nutshell these reporters and analysts place way too much emphasis on practice whereas...

    High School Basketball Prospects

    The 2019 McDonalds game edition features four white girls ( which is not awful and more than I anticipated) and the boys side will have two no brainers, PF Matthew Hurt (still unsigned) and PG Nico Mannion (Arizona). Disappointing though that C Will Baker (Texas) wasn't invited. There was also...

    NFL News, Rumors and Musings

    Dallas WR Cole Beasley is in the news complaining that the front office limited his touches. Safe to say Beasley, who will be a FA, won't be playing with the Cowboys next season. I am not a big fan of WRs going on about "touches and targets" ( something a lot of black WRs do) but in the end...

    2019 Australian Open

    Well my prediction of Serena not bagging another major is still intact. Her biggest opponent is father time which plays tricks on the concentration level. I don't care to belittle other people's builds etc. but a level of compassion for the viewing public is expected from athletes and people...

    White cornerbacks

    Oh the sweet irony of all this talk about reviewing interference calls after the refs blew a crucial call in the Saints Rams tilt. White linebackers and white safeties rarely get the benefit of the doubt so chances are if there is any semblance of contact no matter how trivial a flag would be...

    College Basketball 2018-2019

    I saw that Wisconsin game. It was a madhouse and Happ took over. During the game they were ruminating on the NBA potential guys and skipped over Happ like a bad lunch. He is limited (no shooting range and bad free throw shooter) but as an off the bench NBA energy player why not? Great low post...

    2019 NFL Draft

    I have very little to say about the East West shrine game. These "all star" settings don't answer many if any questions and the best bet is to watch the prospects play during the season. Truthteller mentioned Canadian prospects above and there was a DE named Mathieu Betts who made a quick move...

    2019 NFL Conference Championships

    Been dealing with an ice storm. Chopping ice and shoveling. At least it kept me home all day yesterday so I caught the entire Saints-Rams fiasco. Talk above and elsewhere in the media about changing the overtime rules. They were "upset" Mahomes didn't get another shot at the Swiss cheese...

    2018-19 NBA Season

    Glad you mentioned Layman. After two unmemorable seasons where I figured he might get booted from the NBA Layman has rebounded and is having his best season by far. In fact he was starting for a spell but noticed he scored those 20 points off the bench in limited minutes no less. Seen as a...

    2019 NFL Draft

    See above yes it is a relief that S Andrew Wingard was invited to the combine. Perhaps the most glaring issue in football these days is the lack of white defensive backs and when you consider how bad most black DBs have played in recent times it is beyond insulting to see so few white faces in...

    2019 Australian Open

    Also playing this morning was Camila Giorgi who in typical fashion flashed talent but lost anyway. She can move and smack the ball with the best of them despite being on the smallish side. She also plays a particularly brainless style of tennis which is why she has never made giant inroads. Back...

    2019 Australian Open

    I watched the Halep match this morning. They replayed it. She looked sharp and dominated Venus. Was particularly impressed with her return of serve. Of course next up is the big bad one but hopefully Simona disposes of her. Serena is like a drain clog and you just can't wait to clear her out of...

    2019 NFL Draft

    Update on two players that are of great interest here at CF. Both WR Trent Irwin and RB Patrick Laird are at the NFLPA bowl game but are unable to participate due to injuries. I think Laird was named team captain which is no surprise whatsoever. Leadership skills people that is what the NFL is...

    2019 NFL Draft

    Two seasons ago WR Riley McCarron lit it up on his pro day. He made the Patriots roster but was demoted after a minor punt return fumble that had no baring on the game. So what about Scott Miller a similarly sized WR with a much better college resume who was last seen I think playing in what is...

    College Basketball 2018-2019

    I caught the last ten minutes plus OT of the very strange Duke Syracuse game last night where Syracuse stunned number one rated Duke who was playing at home no less, a place where they have been invincible against unranked opponents. The media line is that without "star" freshmen Tre Jones, who...

    More on Tanner. He comes form a close knit family and he is close to his mom. Also Tanner has a younger brother Nick who is a 6'5" 240 pound TE for William and Mary. He compiled a 30-453-1 stat line last season and will be a junior this year. Another pro prospect? Below is a picture of Tanner...

    Kirk Cousins

    If the second half of the season Cousins to Thielen combo was indicative of the whole season then I would be concerned. But despite the drop off in production from the first half of the season the combo put up some big numbers for the year and Adam had career highs in catches, yards and TDs. I...

    Clemson S Tanner Muse has decided to stay at Clemson for his senior year. Perhaps his "NFL draft grade" wasn't as high as he wanted so back to the drawing board. I have him graded as a solid mid round pick but the powers to be always downgrade skill white players. Always. A part of me is...
