Now they are back with Super Bowl XIV at Bradshaw's 73 yard TD pass to Stallworth. You miss a quarter and a half. No apology or explanation.

They showed the game into early in the 3rd quarter when the Steelers went ahead 17-13. They then stopped as if they had lost the tape. Then 15 minutes of the 1995 Cowboys are shown. Now, they are showing the 2009 Saints-Viking NFL Championship. Where is Super Bowl XIV? No explanation given by...

White was drafted by the Rams in 1978, but was never on the active roster in either the regular season or the playoffs.

On Saturday, May 29, the NFL Network is showing Super Bowl XIV Between the Steelers and the LA Rams at 8 PM ET, with a repeat at 12 AM ET. The Steelers were trying for their fourth SB win. The Rams were heavy underdogs but led early in the 4th quarter. This is the game Ram DE Jack Youngblood...

No, Riggins didn't have three 100 yards games in the first four games of the 1985 season. He had none in the first five. Then he had two 100 yards games, then 35, then 112 in 30 carries. Riggins then faded the rest of 1985 but was not benched until the last 3 weeks of the season. Rogers did...

A site called Coldhardfootballfacts.com has a piece (http://coldhardfootballfacts.com/Articles/11_2257_The_Last_Old_School_Team.html) titled "The Last Old School Team." A subhead is "The last hurrah of the white running back." The subject is the 1982-83 Washington Redskins. John Riggins, of...

Yep. I first heard about Williams 40-odd years ago and Sowell not long after. The only people who ever appreciated what they wrote were those who already agreed with them.

Rand Paul's opponents are going to hit him with the "against civil rights" club from now on. As I said before, if Paul isn't able to form an argument, he should have stayed away from hostile forums. The Soccer Moms and DWFs (it is said) "won't stand for anything that smacks of racism." That...

It is true that the MSM attacks won't hurt Paul with his base supporters but he did not show a lot of acumen. Consider that Rand Paul won a smashing victory over an establishment candidate in the GOP primary. What does he do? He sits down for a half hour of hostile questions from Rachel Maddow...

You see this over and over. Paul makes a comment that he did not think about beforehand and was unwilling to defend. Naturally, he grovels in submission. The reigning liberal orthodoxy is made that much stronger. Paul would have been better off not visiting the 1964 civil rights act at all...

I didn't say I "hated" Dave Kingman. The question was a whether a white athlete had ever had a reputation for being bad in the locker room. I reported that Kingman had this kind of reputation. I have no personal knowledge one way or another, nor did I claim to.

The late columnist, Dick Young, who was about as conservative as in any sportswriter in my lifetime, said that Dave Kingman was a bad influence on a team. Kingman was a power hitter who played on various teams from 1971-1986. He was known for hitting a lot of home runs while striking out a lot.

Correction. Fleming didn't play in 1960, his last year at Iowa was 1958. Hollis and Ferguson were Iowa's big stars in 1960.

Funny thing, 50 years ago, Iowa was about the "blackest" major college team in the country. There was a black QB named Wilburn Hollis and halfbacks Larry Ferguson and Willie Fleming. In 1960, they played single-platoon foorball in which the players played both ways. I believe Iowa's 1960...

The girl was probably a mixed-race Puerto Rican.

"Increased media coverage of incidents also probably accounts for more incidents listed in recent years." See, its the publicity that causes the incidents. This means that if you don't mention something, it didn't happen. Here is the explanation for why the MSM ignores black on white crime.

I can't believe Al Davis would have drafted and played Jamarcus Russell 35 years ago.

Wearing gloves appears to be standard in today's NFL.

These young college girls go to clubs and get drunk out of their minds. Did Ben not give any thought that it could be trouble and not fun? He already had a civil suit hanging over him before this mess. Is Ben just too stupid to realize the big target he had on his back if a drunken coed decided...

Members of this Forum should take a look at a blog called "Stuff Black People Don't Like." A very good piece concerning Toby Gerhart and the draft is at the top of the page.

The late Pat Tillman, the former NFL DB who died as an army ranger in Afghanistan, is said to have enjoyed Chomsky's writings.

Ben R. may have felt that he could behave like his fellow players and get away with it. This reminds me of the white free agents who sign with a team without considering whether they will get the needed playing time.

I remember reading something interesting when Kobe Bryant was charged with rape several years ago. Some DWFs threatened the life of the woman who accused Bryant.

Yes, Ray Norton was favored to win the sprints in the 1960 Olympics and the press hoped it would turn out that way. Sime was considered over the hill but almost saved the day. Norton ruined the 4x100 relay. Again, find the 1956 SI article I referenced above and notice how favorably Sime and...

David Sime was considered better than Bobby Morrow before the injury that knocked him out of the 1956 Olympics. I have mentioned this before but Google "David Sime, SI Vault." See the cover story for the July 2, 1956 issue of Sports Illustrated.
