Worth noting the track record for notable coaches making come backs isn't great. Art Shell ( who was never great), Tom Flores, Joe Gibbs and Mike Ditka all fell on their faces after they returned from a layoff. The one glaring exception was Dick Vermeil who won a Super Bowl with the Rams after...

Again a guessing game but look for more white defensive players. If I had to pin point the one thing Gruden hates the most are these modern day matador defenses made up of guys who "look the part" and test well at the combine but can't play a lick of proper defense. Clueless athletic specimens...

Trying to rationalize this deal but it isn't easy. Usually when you see long term deals like this one the one up for the job 'insisted" it be a long term deal as a bargaining chip. It is fraught with risk. Too many baseball contracts end up on a sour note. Look at Albert Pujols. In 2012 the...

Sex Robots. Beyond the sickening idea of them there are two major negatives surrounding the mere idea. One--A Sex Robot is nothing but a glorified technologically advanced version of those silly blow up dolls. Having sex with a female prostitute is impersonal enough as it is but they mean to...

Ok I was under the impression if they won they would win their division and get a home game but that is not correct right? So it was one of those "doesn't matter" games where they just wanted to get out alive. This Carolina team makes me very nervous as does their slumbering coaching staff. But...

Nall is difficult to get a handle on for several reasons but WL is right it was time for him to declare. The Hillis, Alstott, Bettis comparisons are a start. If he runs a high 4.4 or low 4.5 at the Combine ( he better be invited) we might even consider throwing out the name of the one and...

Funny you mention it because I couldn't stand him as a coach either. Not sure why I was rooting for the Raiders in that Super Bowl although I suspect I had a bet on the game--something I don't do anymore. Apart from S Lynch and some play by WR JOE J I don't recall much of a white presence on his...

Well thought out Thrashen. For me the NFC is easy to sort. I have Carolina on top because I can't root against CM and Kuechly. I just can't. That said like most here I like the Vikings a heck of a lot and would love to see a Carolina-Vikings Championship game. Whoever wins that match up...

Just a few notes on a disappointing last week thanks mainly due to the Raven's horrible loss. One of the few chances I had a chance to watch an entire Carolina game and the offense was beyond flat. Even CM looked a bit off but Newton takes the cake with yet another one of his dreadful...

I know it is a new year and we must try to look on the bright side but I am in no mood to sugarcoat things. Last night was a disaster. The caste machine got a nice wrapped gift with a bow as Georgia and Alabama will meet in the big one Monday. On a realistic point of view two all black defenses...

For the first time sophomore Maryland guard Kevin Huerter has started showing up on 2019 NBA draft boards. Below is a highlight throw down from his most recent game in which he scored 20 points on 7-12 shooting. http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/video?gameId=400986469

There have been two competing trends I have noticed during the Bowl season. Having watched all the Bowls I can when I am home I got a good look at the games yesterday. The first trend is the disturbing pattern of black skill players putting up huge numbers while the white WR's have been mostly...

Just a few observations from recent bowl games I had a chance to watch. Nice to see Kansas State beat odious UCLA but WR Dalton Schoen didn't play due to a broken collarbone. The problem going forward is the black "running" QB Delton who made big runs in the game seems unlikely to develop any...

I am not home during the week so will miss all the day and most of the early evening bowl games this week. Anything that starts at 8:30 EST this week I will be able to watch though. Thankfully will get to see all of the action on Saturday including all the big Monday games. However I must say...

I am shocked by that news regarding Thompson. This could be a tough draft for WRs. Small school Jake Wieneke was considered a lock before the season and now I don't see him on the draft boards. He is border line all of a sudden. I suspect and hope Trey Quinn declares but his draft position...

With one week left here is an update on the return men. I use the yards per return as the better measurement as long as the player has enough sufficient returns. Punt Returns: Camapanaro is 4th with a 11.86 average. Trent Taylor is 10th. Amendola is 12th. Switzer is 13th. Kick Returns: Switzer...

Fair points Don. To me I can understand anyone who prefers the Vikings or even the Rams for that matter. Finding Kuechly a white mate on D has been a PROBLEM over the years. Prior to Luke they had a terrific LB Dan Morgan who starred with them from 2001-2007. Fast and athletic injuries...

I'll comment on La France's post at the end. Listening to the post game blather on the Dallas game most analysts pointed the arrow of blame on everyone but Prescott. Only Shannon Sharpe came out strongly against him. Although in the press conference Jerry Jones was 'hinting" that Prescott was...

Just a few notes from yesterday's games. Small change I know but I believe the Ravens are the only team to have a white TB and WR other than the Pats. The Lions may have briefly flirted with it but at least Campanaro and Woodhead contribute (in bits and pieces). Albeit they both made some big...

Boise State LB Leighton Vander Esch has declared early for the draft. Projections are all over the place on where he could get drafted. Could be as high as the first round. I think he will get invited to the Combine.He kept getting better and better as the season wore on and dominated the field...

Right on Mr. P most of the black DB's are the worst I have ever seen. Sean Considine now there is a name out of the blue ( good one) and just a reminder that things weren't as bad as they seemed back then at certain points. My time and framework is hazy but I do recall being a huge fan of...

Yes Sills has just announced he is returning to WV as well. Good move. He needs to tighten up his route running and add strength. Remember he is pretty green as a WR. He is still in the process of learning how to be a WR. Despite all of that he put up huge numbers. The Grier to Sills...

Even though I catch the NFL Red Zone around the second half of the late games it is a good channel to have. It gives me a chance to look in on teams I rarely get to see and they finish up the program showing all the Sunday touchdowns. I noticed WR Trent Taylor had a long catch and run called...

For sure weird stuff going down at ESPN. They recently teamed with Fox so I think they will gobble up some of those networks that show Power 5 conference football/basketball games along with other sports. They already have an ACC network coming down the pike which will be similar to the SEC...

Something symbolic happened yesterday and I will finish on that note. Everyone covered most everything including the jail break by two long running great TE's Gronkowski and Olsen. The Steelers fans and "experts" whined for ages after the Pats destroyed their zone in the playoffs. So they went...
