Dr. Z was my favorite football writer for years. And he was usually spot on with his Super Bowl predictions. Dr. Z did get the Raiders/Bucs wrong but that was rare if memory serves. Even though football was turning very caste unlike some SI writers at the time, particularly the caste riddled...

NO he is not and never was a superstar but I have always liked Brett Gardner. Certain players you gravitate to and he fits the bill. He is 35 and past his "prime" I think but it was nice to see the Yankees bring him back for one more season. I have discussed this speedster in the past and won't...

The University caught hell yesterday when they reinstated HC Durkin. And after the near universal backlash they let him go just a day later. Right or wrong the buck stops with the HC when dealing with delicate matters like a player's death. Bad stumble by Maryland. Should have tossed him much...

The men play their finals in November and will feature the top eight players in a round robin type event. The women concluded their finals recently as Evina Svitolina defeated Sloane Stephens in the final. Svitolina is one of the better movers on the WTA tour and it was nice to see she won a...

Nice job Red and the gang. Football every night of the week. I was disappointed with the WR Scott Miller performance. It was OK but he needed more than that to capture the doubters. I wanted him to explode on national TV. I still think Miller and Andy Isabella are two key players we have to...

Interesting take above on the current Raiders current status. I have had a growing concern about black locker rooms which in my mind dooms white athletes. The media at first blamed the Khalil Mack trade as the key reason why the Raiders are so awful. But the media has been a bit quiet of late...

The Patriots were sleep walking last night but can you blame them? The Bills are atrocious especially on offense. I agree with Don's assessment of WR Gordon. Looks clumsy and slow. But you realize how important Edelman is to this team. Clutch play after clutch play last night. And he was...

Sort of like college football this past weekend in the NFL was hum drum for the most part as the posts above suggested. Nice to see Adam Thielen scoot past 100 yards in his record setting streak. One more to go. I believe S Troy Apke reinjured his hamstring ( Good Lord) and Trey Quinn has been...

I agree Leo that Iowa loss completely ruined the day. One small note about the ND LB situation after Drue Tranquill screwed up his ankle. Back up sophomore Drew White #40 played in his place and looked like he might be ready to start next season. In fact if Tranquill is out White could be the...

Thanks for the wrap 22. Good point about WR Mannix. I was watching last night and he seemed to be limping and in distress. And obviously RB Zane Dudek has been playing hurt. He has two more years after this one so hopefully he returns to his own self next season. Many posters covered key...

Zach Allen is a throw back to an era where giant rangy strongmen roamed defensive lines. Allen is country huge like John Matuszak who used to play for the Raiders and Oilers years ago. Ted Hendricks was another huge cat but he was more of a DE/LB hybrid. Allen is perfect for 4-3 schemes because...

I don't want any players having their heads crushed or suffering spinal injuries. That said I do like it when black skill/speed players tear their ACLs. Rookie Vikings CB Mike Hughes just tore his and last night speedster WR Will Fuller tore his ACL. Why pretend to be a nice guy. Ha. Actually...

Typically the Thursday and Friday night games are underwhelming in terms of a breakout performance but it was nice to see the college football week start off on a positive note most notably the 5-139-2 numbers from David Sills. He had been in stall mode and was desperate for a breakout game so I...

During the Purdue game Kirk Herbstreit slipped up when he blamed the defensive woes squarely on the linebackers. Herbie has improved quite a lot from his caste beginnings so I was surprised he threw the white players under the bus when it was unwarranted. Then caste disciple Brock Huard...

I mentioned Iowa starts more white defenders than the entire SEC. Am I right? Also keep in mind there doesn't seem to be any white back ups either. If there are there are only a few. Below is a list of white starters on defense for each team. Alabama-0 Auburn-0 Mississippi State-0 Texas...

I don't get a great feel for the early games apart from the only one I am able to watch (yesterday Patriots) and then I travel for an hour and don't get home until 5:30. Then I bounce around from the Red Zone on NFL TV which I like a lot and the national game before settling in for the Sunday...

For me not a horrible weekend but not especially inspiring either. Some good bits but mostly felt like a holding pattern except for the Big Ten where there was a huge upset. I didn't bring it up but last week but LB Pete Werner tallied 10 tackles and two tackles for a loss in a Ohio State win...
