    2018 Bowl Season

    As expected I couldn't get home for the start but caught the beginning parts on my car radio. When Alabama scored on a long TD pass where Tanner Muse "so called " got burned it set me off and I had trouble recovering the entire game no less. More on that and Muse in a moment. It depends on how...

    2019 NFL Playoffs Wildcard Round

    From what I have seen so far from Bears HC Nagy I echo Truthteller's sentiment about not liking what I am seeing. So far he is heading down the black hole and I agree at the end of the day it will only ruin things for him and the team. While I am not optimistic I will have a much clearer vision...

    Not bad for a high profile big time program. New HC Ryan Day strikes me as an innovator and someone to keep a close eye on. In other words he may not "play by the old stale rules" which means more white players could enter the fold in a more meaningful way. Already he has made some unique...

    2019 NFL Draft

    The latest buzz is all of the "Taysom Hill" types will be invited to the combine and that includes Nick Fitzgerald, Trace McSorley and Eric Dungey. Sounds great on the surface but..... McSorley might have a broken foot. My thinking is that both Fitzgerald and McSorley would open enough eyes at...

    2018 Bowl Season

    I am sweating out the fact I may not get home in time to see the beginning of the big game tonight. A few minor thoughts. First ESPN is once again doing multiple telecasts but the bummer is there won't be those free flowing guy/girl groups except maybe on the SEC network which I don't get. I...

    2019 NFL Playoffs Wildcard Round

    I watched all of the weekend games although I do miss the first half of the late games on Sunday. Plan to do the same this weekend. But I have to admit Collinsworth gave me a chuckle or two near the end of the Eagles-Bears game. He might have been drunk but he was making strange noises when they...

    2019 NFL Playoffs Wildcard Round

    Quick thoughts on the games over the weekend. I'll try and mention stuff that wasn't covered above. The Colts are the proverbial caste team. A great QB in Luck who looked down and out for a couple of years, a tough all white OL and a massive DT in Margus Hunt. No white back ups on D either. The...

    While it is disappointing Fields looks to be crashing the party at Ohio State I think if we remain patient things might still work out. Why? For one thing QB in waiting Tate Martell will not give up his "spot" without a fight. Secondly Martell will likely see a lot more playing time next season...

    2018-19 NBA Season

    As many know Dallas rookie Luka Doncic is the leading candidate for rookie of the year. Is he the next great white hope? My answer is no. He is an extremely skilled basketball player who can do everything well including making difficult and smart passes. His step back moves from three point...

    Class of 2019

    Good stuff TwentyTwo. Also nice to see a post from Dolphin who hasn't posted in a long while. Athlete Jake Smith was named Gatorade offensive athlete of the year. Think Taysom Hill as more of a full time player rather than a spot player. He is the real deal. Excited to see him team up with...

    2019 NFL Draft

    Junior Clemson S Tanner Muse will be in the spotlight Monday night. A starting white DB in the championship game. I have to think which was the last college champ to feature a white DB. In fact which was the last Super Bowl winner to feature one? Have to think about that. Reading the tea leaves...

    White cornerbacks

    Although it seems to me with a black HC the odds are greater that a team will be or become more caste. If you factor that out I could care less if a HC is black or white. Hell Dusty Baker in his last year with the Nationals baseball team fielded the most white starters in the league including a...

    2019 NFL Draft

    22 is spot on. If Jackson doesn't improve as a passer, which many of us believe he won't, then he will eventually be moved aside. And as with all running QBs they have to be careful otherwise they will constantly be banged up. That is what happened to the previous black running QB savior RG3...

    2018 Minnesota Vikings

    I am pleased with the way QB Kirk Cousins and WR Adam Thielen connected this season. Adam had his best year with a 113-1373-9 stat line setting career highs in all categories. Granted during the latter part of the season things didn't run as smoothly and Adam's stats were dramatically down. As...

    2018 White Wide Receivers

    Sapient does a swell job compiling WR info. I don't like raining on the parade but the 2019 WR draft list above (and another CF member Deceptive has one up in the NFL Draft thread ) is overly optimistic. Hell if the top 6 on the Sapient's list were all drafted that would be heroic in my...

    2018 Pittsburgh Steelers

    I think Tomlin has made critical errors the past few seasons see Don's post above. His lack of trust in his albeit shaky defense has caused him to over compensate and take foolish risks that have back fired. And yes he isn't the greatest game manager out there that is for sure. That said he is...

    2018 Bowl Season

    Have a few minutes to post. Thanks 22 for heads up about Nevada walk on turned scholarship WR and hero of bowl win Ben Putman. I missed that game entirely. I was pleased with every outcome yesterday. Really. I know some here were disappointed but not me. Before that what a stirring win by...

    NFL News, Rumors and Musings

    Amen and lets hope some common sense starts to emerge in the new year. Hope against hope maybe. I have never seen such bad black defensive play in the NFL and at the college level too. It is glossed over. And many of the black WRs don't even know what a route tree is beyond run down the field...

    2018 NFL Week 17

    Sorry for splitting up my posts but I knew I would have issues today. In closing just want to name check four rookies I like a lot. It is not a list necessarily of the best rookies perhaps but just players that I have latched onto. Before that a quick word about two 2 year players who saw their...

    NFL News, Rumors and Musings

    This Mayock news is pretty wild. Alternatingly annoying as a dental drill yet once and a while hits the spot. Proof will be in the pudding. Wonder who will fill his spot on the NFL network combine coverage?

    2018 NFL Week 17

    I was in a very bad mood last night. But I take some solace in a few things that happened Sunday. That Cole Beasley catch was the catch of the year. You cannot get anymore clutch than that. And nice to see Cole bounce back after an off season with a 65-672-3 stat line his second best season as...

    2018 NFL Week 17

    So much to say and so little time and I might be splitting up posts because I expect to be interrupted. Won't be back on the grid until sometime Thursday at the earliest. Some random thoughts. First if you have insomnia I have just the remedy. Watch a Titans football game. Good God they are...

    2018 Bowl Season

    The Michigan loss was disappointing but they were without several key defensive members who were "sitting" out for draft purposes. But DE Chase Winovich played and he had 3 tackles for losses including a sack. Weird but he needs surgery on something undisclosed but said he would wait until after...

    2018 Bowl Season

    I simply can't figure out how to select quotes from prior messages. Toggle what? Ha. I am the least bit computer savvy. So in reference to Truthteller's note about Kyler Murray the more I think about it the more I think this "baseball" thing is a sham and the Oakland A's fell for it lock stock...

    "Jordy-Jordy-Jordy"

    Spot on Don. The writer should have noted Jordy's tremendous speed during his prime. The article echoes what I have been saying here for the past couple of weeks. Bringing back Jordy is a no brainer. Otherwise they would leave QB Carr left with no security whatsoever and doomed for failure...
