As long as DE stud Nick Bosa is 100% healthy and most sources think he will be come draft time, I am fairly confident he will be the first player chosen in the NFL draft. When he did play this season he was by far the best player in college football.

There might be crazy in the air today. We will find out. Just finished watching "English Football" where Chelsea remained unbeaten with a last second goal to tie Manchester United. The ending sent off fireworks. Crazy game. I think it will be one of those type of days. Last night Zane Dudek is...

A very nice article. Not everything boils down to stats. Hornung was a winner and that is what sports is supposed to be all about. And Hornung's name is coming up a lot lately because of Taysom Hill. I see a mini trend developing. There is a stud WR/RB/QB Texas commit out of Arizona named Jake...

I watched baseball and Stanford/Arizona State last night. No way in hell was I turning on that NFL caste fest. Stanford won against arguably the most caste team I have seen this season in Arizona State. They are lousy by the way. I mentioned WR Trent Irwin in the week 7 thread. He was solid...

Thanks 22 for the wrap! I wonder about breakout freshman? Just not a big year for it I guess. Below is a list of WRs, in no particular order, who deserve to get a Combine invite and get drafted. Beggars wishes but I think all of them are more than deserving albeit Cody Thompson's numbers have...

It would be nice if number 38 was a new shiny white player but indeed that was WR Trent Irwin who changes his number from 2 to 38 because of special teams number duplications. Irwin had a decent game but they never air it out to him which annoys the hell out of me. The lead announcer thinks he...

Great work Free. I wanted to drag it down in case someone doesn't bother to look way up above.

Season just getting ready to tip off. The next two drafts could be the worst in history but that is the early call. Things change. Last year's draft was pretty good. I don't want to worry about that now. There are some good white high school players currently. Must say I am pleasantly surprised...

To me there is a primal aspect to sports. Not totally unlike sex albeit there are some differences. Sex tops it in sheer ecstasy terms. Ha. But sports does enter the psyche in a very visceral and immediate way. It stirs up primal energy and moves people in certain directions. It is not exactly...

Sticking with the standout edge player theme Ohio State DE Nick Bosa has decided to leave school to concentrate on the NFL Draft. Sad to hear this as Ohio State was developing an interesting defense with three key white starters. Very disappointing. The good news is most feel his current "core"...

I concur with La France. My interest level fell off sharply when Green Bay had the ball. I was disappointed budding star Kittle was relegated to dink and dunk duty. Last night's game filled me with DREAD. It had many of the markings that I fear will take the NFL down the NBA like rabbit hole...

Joe Girard a sharp shooting 2019 guard decided to stay home and will attend Syracuse. HC Jim Boeheim who has been around since the First World War continues to grab some white talent. Syracuse usually has a decent white player or two on their roster every year which is more than many high...

I suspect that the number of black NFL QBs will rise over the next five to ten years. With QBs it is usually best to wait a good three years or so to properly evaluate. Eric Mangini has cautioned against the hype surrounding Mahomes. And we have to keep in mind the sports media loves to hype...

According to Adam Schefter Kupp has a MCL sprain. Could miss a week or three but avoided a disaster. Second week in a row a defender hit him illegally.

I characterize this week as better. Improvement over the past two weeks but let me get the bad things out of the way first. We have to be concerned about both WRs David Sills and Cody Thompson. Looked like surefire NFL draft picks before the season and still should be in my mind but we know the...

Doesn't take much to make me sour but just like last week I was uninspired by the Thursday TT-TCU game and last night's games didn't do much for me either. In fact that was the worst game I have seen both TCU defenders Wallow and Summers play all year. They weren't bad by any means but just...

Just a reminder to check out 22's comprehensive stat wrap from week 6. Since TCU is on tonight and Utah tomorrow I wanted to mention a few underclassmen that have shown some potential so far this season. This is by no means a comprehensive list. Just a list of some interesting players that have...

When watching Taysom Hill against the Redskins I kept thinking what a nifty idea. Put a versatile athlete who can either pass, run, catch or block in the offense and move him all around. Why didn't anyone think of this earlier? At least in recent memory. Of course one would have figured what...

I triple that one drop rule. And unlike black players who can relax knowing they have nine lives these unwritten rules put even further pressure on white athletes which causes many of them to play under extreme duress. Very upsetting but you could see the Nick Williams throat cut a country mile...

A "coach's pet" would amount to more than a few gadget plays a game. Derogatory and condescending. Hill is a well rounded football player who ranks among the most exciting in the NFL already. Not someone's sea turtle. A few things popped into my mind watching the game last night. Leo had...

Oops I meant LVE not EBV for Vander Esch in my above post. I thought I would simplify his name and ended up butchering it even more. I was a young pup but Cliff Harris see above is still my all time favorite safety. Could run like a deer ( I don't recall a WR ever running away from him) and...

Breaking news. They are bringing the guillotine back. Village square tomorrow in Nashville. I understand Quasimodo and Esmeralda will be in attendance. White WR Nick Williams drops a key pass and his fate has been set. There was talk about the gallows but everyone figured the guillotine would be...

That turned into an ugly blowout for Carolina but at least Tanner Muse had an interception and in general Clemson is a team to get behind. Not sure they will make the playoffs though. For now the frontrunners are Alabama, Ohio State, Clemson, Georgia and Notre Dame. Another holding pattern...

Wake/Clemson should be a fun game for Carolina. I am in a bad mood this morning--nothing new there. Last night's games and notes. And thanks to Leo for a Sun Belt update but I have to admit I avoid that conference like the PLAGUE. WR Will Hastings of Auburn is out for the year undergoing...

Last night's game is also being discussed on the Patriots thread but two comments about last night. I was in my car but they said in pregame Edelman raced across the entire field and the crowd went bonkers. Also I could sense a totally different vibe with the offense with Edelman out there...
