    Australian Open

    OldSchool, I'm no expert on Capriati's career. She did make a comeback after a hiatus and much trials and tribulations. She had a good but brief run, winning some Grand Slams in the early 2000's. I think she last left the tour because of injury. I don't recall her ever announcing retirement. Of...

    Cards or Steelers?

    The people who control or engineer the NFL are most likely quite happy with this game. The one exception might be that the two starting QBs are white. A sprinkling of white players is somewhat tolerable. One team has a black coach, the other a black GM. If the Cardinals win, that makes two...

    Australian Open

    There's a flaw in the heat policy of the Australian Open. Evidently, the roof can be closed on Rod Laver Arena when the temperature or other factors (what they are I do not know) reach a certain point. Svetlana Kuznetsova had taken the first set from Williams and by all accounts Serena was loopy...

    Australian Open

    If Carla Suarez-Navarro can replicate what occurred in the 3rd set of the match, she has put a little suspense into things. From what I saw (last set of the match), she has things that remind you of Henin. We shall see if she is for real.

    Best Wimbledons

    Interesting. I did not see the Ashe-Connors finals. Usually when I hear the telling of the match, it is brought up that the strategy used by Ashe was developed by several people, in particular Donald Dell. Dell was a one time Davis Cup captain. From Wimbledon's official web site...

    Playoffs ’08

    I was just going to mention this. That can be definitely classified as premeditated.

    Anti-white ’G’ Gatorade commercial

    Good call, maybe that has something to do with the director. None other than Spike Lee is reported to have directed the spot. Enough said. http://www.cnbc.com/id/28506117

    Australian Open

    Andy Murray has been seriously strong as of late. Just in '09, if you count exhibitions, he has two wins over Fed and one over Nadal. It's hard to fathom him not being a factor. On a downer, Sharapova has pulled out. Another disappointment has been Ana Ivanovic's fade in the rankings. Can Roger...

    This could destroy tennis.

    It's been a while since any tennis post, and the Australian Open is getting close. We need a little news to ease back into the swing of things. This thread is as appropriate as any for news concerning the latest in racquet technology. It may be nothing more than hype by Prince. Jimi Hendrix, I...

    Move over Dan Dierdorf. Chris Collinsworth is now the official king of inane gibberish.

    Thanks for the heads-up on the informative article. Hail to the Iron Workers.

    Shanahan Cannned??!

    I did not know his job was in jeopardy. Trying to figure which coaching prospects might be advantageous for Peyton. Mike Martz was let go at SF. His scheme is not compatible with using running backs as a major weapon, or so it is said. Anyway, I doubt if he gets a sniff for a head coaching...

    Labor Unions

    Being raised in a union household, it's impossible to go on a screed against unions. As DD stated there probably is a disconnect between a lot of the rank and file and the overall positions of union headquarters, especially in the building trades. I haven't checked the official position on...

    NFL Week 16

    The more I think about this, the more ridiculous it becomes for Jaws to have chastised Kyle the way he did. Hester blew it. Not to belabor the point, come to think of it Jaws did, so what the hec. If Hester had any instincts as a receiver, he would have made an adjustment for the ball as soon as...

    The Good Ship America

    The author's intent could be just merely a call for checks and balances on powerful extremist with an agenda. I suppose some would say that is prudent for any country, not a hateful motive.

    The Good Ship America

    Here's something for our consideration. It's an older piece from a long gone website. The Good Ship America THE GOOD SHIP AMERICA rocked ever so gently, as the sea of life whipped around her. She was big and she was sturdy, and her passengers were happy and secure. Looking across the waves...

    NFL Week 16

    Good post Don. Also, MNF was marred by Tirico's overall call of the game. He very poorly hid his bias for a Chicago victory.

    A Hate With No Name

    Specter did display a lot of hubris. He probably thought his attempted humor was acceptable given the current state of affairs. White people are the butt of jokes and media assault with impunity in today's climate. Whether it's Celts or Vikings portrayed in a negative manner in commercials or...

    Stop listening to Rush says Powell

    James Carville was at some forum with Newt Gingrich echoing the same thought. C-Span aired the discussion last night. He said the Republican Party had better do something. What can they do, become the party of Bobby Jindal, Michael Steele, and Anh Joseph Cao?

    caste football removed from google?

    A search for white cornerbacks returns a number one ranking for Caste Football in google. It may take time to rebuild ranking for each search term. Caste Football may be starting all over in building google reputation. At least the pages are being indexed, so there is hope the ranking position...

    caste football removed from google?

    Alright! I just looked to see if any pages were indexed in google using the operator "site". In other words, search "site:castefootball.us", without the quotes, in google and it will give about 2,000 pages indexed. No pages were indexed a while back when I first checked. It looks like Caste...
