As always thanks to 22 for his fatter than usual wrap sheet of week 5. There were still some problems last week though. Why blather about upcoming games and players since it seems to me I jinx things. Not to spook everyone but 2019 is an especially important NFL draft for white WRs. Right now...

Sadly the Astros left speedster Myles Straw off the 25 man playoff roster. They also left off hyper athletic CF Jake Marisnick. They did include speedster Derek Fisher but I doubt we will see him play a big role. The Rockies have yet another athletic speedster MIF Garrett Hampson who I think...

I heard this on the radio. Could it be the result of BDF--Black Dominance Fatigue? This used to be a subject of debate a while back when the UCONN women's basketball team for a few years was heavily black and winning big yet they had trouble filling the seats. I am sure many of us often wonder...

I am rooting for the Rockies first and foremost and the Dodgers second. Then it boils down to individual white players on different teams but I tend to agree with Truth's layout. The Yankees might ditch Gardner and the Indians are not my cup of tea. Rockies have a superstar SS in Story and a...

To be fair to Jason I have heard him praise certain white player's athletic abilities on a consistent basis. He actually passes for me the "caste test." I just can't deal with his delivery and scattershot approach.

I hate to pile on since the media is giving Jason Witten terrible marks but he is unlistenable or close to it at least from my perspective. I like Witten as a person, he seems congenial, but ESPN forced this through and are reaping what they sow. Is it me or is he pretty damn bad? Over...

You are right baseball was integrated in 1947 and originally I was going to mention it but somewhere along the way I mistakenly went by the year Jackie Robinson led the NL in stolen bases in 1949. Of course those first several years of integration the percentage of black players in MLB was...

We may be witnessing a new way to utilize versatile white skill players. I say to myself what took them so long? Stars of the past like Paul Hornung and Frank Gifford were considered jack of all trades type of players and perhaps we are seeing a bit of a return of a player that fits that...

I had mentioned this in the Mike Trout thread but upon further review I think that this is more unusual than I first thought. Whit Merrifield, for the second year in a row, led the AL with 45. And SS Trea Turner led the NL with 43. Unless I am missing something this is the first time since...

With Roger Federer at twilight now and Jordy just past his prime I think when it is all said and done Mike Trout is currently my favorite athlete. Just a great player and a great guy to boot. I root for him like crazy. I was pleased he hit the 100 runs scored mark, batted over .300 plus 39 HRs...

Confounding game last night. When the Steelers came back to tie it in the first half at 14 I thought this has the makings of a classic and figured Big Ben and the gang would charge to the finish line. Crowd going crazy and then..... Then they come out after halftime as stale as 4 week old...

Watching the game on the Red Zone (which by the way cut away at the end due to NBC night game contract stuff) and Jordy was mauled and still made the game saving two point catch. That was blatant interference yet the announcers said let them play. Ha. With the Raiders patience will likely be...

For some reason Red I couldn't locate Parker until later in the game. Thanks for the WR Tyler Page report. Always nice to hear a new name pop up. Below is a video of his long TD. Have to sift a bit for the 92 yard bomb. http://www.espn.com/college-football/team/_/id/2567/smu-mustangs

Still not satisfied despite some brighter spots. Andy Isabella see above needs to get invited to the NFL Combine. Then he can show off to the world his speed etc. But that is a big question mark although it shouldn't be especially if he continues his torrid pace. And there were some impressive...

Thanks to 22 for the week 4 wrap up. This looks to be a big weekend. Tonight Princeton will be on ESPNU at 6:00PMEST. I will miss most if not all of it but worth a look as stud WR Jesper Horsted will be the featured WR. The NFL has finally taken notice of Horsted although due to his size some...

Sometimes it is hard for me to make it home in time for the beginning of Thursday and Monday night games but I made it for the opening drive and was surprised to see the sun out--living on the east coast it didn't occur to me that this was a west coast game. Thankfully the sun stayed out in a...

To follow up on the skullduggery deluxe post above Billy Burns had a brief day in the sun and one of the players I put in the special folder due to his truly blazing speed. In 2015, see link above, with Oakland, Burns stole 26 bases, 9 triples and batted .294. Not considered a top tier prospect...

2021 6'3" SG Carson McCorkle has given an early commitment to Tony Bennett and Virginia. Great early pick up. Ranked in the top 50 McCorkle has a ton of potential as he can shoot the lights out and is an extremely impressive leaper.

I settled in to watch the entire game. First about the field. At least it is grass. I can't stand that pellet artificial crap many teams play on. CM has the right idea. Get drafted by a team that plays in fluffy grass like Carolina. That said the Tampa Bay grass surface always looks like a...

As for Saints WRs the best I could come up with as most recent of any import was Keith Poole (1997-2001). I still think the Chargers may have the longest drought when it comes to white WRs. The KR/QB question is intriguing. Based on a quick search Joe Theismann returned punts for a spell in the...

Since you brought him up Deceptive--I didn't know he was returning kicks--- but below is a collage with separate video footage of Hill taking direct snaps and returning kicks etc.. In basketball they call a player coming off the bench a spark. I hope Hill becomes a bit of a fixture for the...

The curious case of ex Seattle TE now Lion TE Luke Wilson. Despite making some big down field plays for Seattle they rarely used him. He has been discussed quite a bit here at CF. Last night he had three targets the second resulting in an interception on too low of a pass by Stafford. He needed...

Why not a highlight reel of Josh Allen including his airborne wow moment. A folk hero in Buffalo in the making! Very polite and humble young man. Post game all he talked about were his teammates. Quickly earning respect.

Patriots watch. With Riley McCarron 1-0. Without Riley McCarron 0-2. Yes Dorsett the "deep" threat was awful last night. And they had Hogan in the slot. Good grief. Bigger problem is that horrid defense. They let the Lions grind out time so Brady had the ball for a couple of seconds the entire...

The Jimmy G news puts a damper on what was a wild (mainly good) crazy day. TE George Kittle was just finding his stride with Jimmy G. The NFL is not allowing Clay Matthews to sack or touch a QB anymore. Huge controversy now because Redskins player sacking Rodgers was much worse with no penalty...
