I came to a mini conclusion last night. For all the talk about Ball I agree with the media on this, he is the most clever and alert player out there and has a lot of Jason Kidd in him. He is NOT however a great athlete. In fact the guys the media are hyping as supreme athletes for the upcoming...

Gordon Hayward continues his strong season. Last night he scored 29 points on 11-17 shooting and had not one but two poster dunks on the Bucks. One was on the so called Greek Freak which was fantastic. Just don't expect Mike and Mike in the Morning to pay any attention to him. They are too busy...

Interesting point Dolphin. To me one of the biggest hurdles over the past quarter century plus are white athletes opting out of wide receiver figuring only the great god like athletic abilities of black players are capable of being successful. For sure the heavy visibility of having star white...

Both Grayson Allen and Myka of Kansas have had some bad patches. With Allen the blessing could be he stays in school and becomes more consistent. He still looks like a first round pro to me but another year is clearly needed especially maturity wise. As for Myka the jury remains. He can get to...

Funny you should mention Baer. I like him too but I must admit I haven't watched much of Iowa this season which is unusual for me. Baer fits the mold of a lot of white athletic Iowa hustle guys from the past that may not fit the NBA "profile" ( oh no he's white) but still fun to watch. I will...

Big school college basketball is not like the minor leagues in baseball or white high school sprinters, volleyball players or lacrosse stars where the general public does not see them perform therefore they do not exist and so they have no affect on the general caste outlook. But here we have...

I am sure I would say the same thing about a lot of black future NBA college players but I feel that everyone of the white guys mentioned in the upcoming draft should stay in school and I will go a step further and say most of them should stay the full four years. None of them are ready and I...

I mentioned this subject in the soccer thread but the new TV deal with Lifetime I think gives this women's pro league a fighting chance to succeed. Unlike the WNBA which is mainly black the NWSL has a better proportion of white players. Might as well mention some of the players are easy on the...

First the bad news. Sports Illustrated recently announced they were cutting back their number of issues from 45 down to 37. And you can bet they won't be lowering their price on a yearly subscription so all in all once more the customer gets screwed. Beyond that as I mentioned earlier SI is one...

Penn State reels in a white speedster---uh sort of-- a preferred walk on Drew Hartlaub-(has he been mentioned before?) to play CB or maybe slot WR. Tore his ACL his sophomore year and it derailed his trajectory but he now runs in the 4.3 range apparently. Preferred--what the hell does that mean...

He is starting to show up on MLB draft lists. He is a junior OF for NC State. He was originally slated to play football at UNC along with baseball. He ran a 4.26 40 yard dash in High School and was a safety. He has SERIOUS speed. If he makes it to the big leagues then I say great. If he does not...

Just announced the NWSL starting this season will telecast a weekly Saturday game during the 20 game season on the Lifetime network starting in April. Good for them. I know the women generate a lot of buzz during the World Cup and Olympics but over the years have had difficulty sustaining a pro...

The NFL network has been replaying the big game in different ways and I have been gobbling it all up. They even have a "sound version" of the game where you can hear the players yelling and talking etc. For instance you can here Edelman say "I caught it I caught it" as he landed on the now...

Either I am getting softer as I age or this will be one of those famous last word declarations but in general I have noticed over the past several years an improving sports media relying less on caste speak as in the past. This may not effect the cast iron caste work that affects countless young...

BIG NEWS!!!! I will be offline for a bit because I am getting snowed in here in the Northeast but Julian Edelman and his magnificent catch made the cover of Sports Illustrated. Good job SI. I believe it is the first white NFL wide receiver to make the cover since Jordy. Also a side note on the...

Thanks Leo for the article redirect. And Don is correct about the many average sized and short black wide receivers currently populating NFL rosters. The Patriots on some level is constructed the way sports teams used to look like. Belichick to his credit runs a team that focuses on teamwork...

I apologize in advance for having limited internet skills or I'm just too stupid take your pick but unlike a lot of posters here I can't direct you to an important article in The New York Daily News January 28th edition by Ebenezer Samuel (He looks Asian to me) who dives head first into the...

I think fatigue played some issues later in the game but I caution that slant. The biggest reason the Pats were patchy in their first half passing attack was the pass rush interrupting things. It also paints the picture that white skill players can't beat black DB's unless they are fatigued. You...

Hard to tell on TV but according to Greg Bedard the astute Sports Illustrated NFL writer who predicted a Pats win praising Edelman and their receiving corps, the Falcons safeties were playing two deep and or keeping one lurking in the middle for Edelman. This went along with press man to man...

Just a few words about the mighty passing attack of the Pats. Keep in mind Randy Moss never won a Super Bowl when he played for the Pats from 2007-2010. And Brady was the QB back then too of course. I thought Atlanta held Hogan in check but leaks were springing everywhere else. James White was...

I don't know where to begin describing this surreal game? A lot of it has been covered right here. Most Super Bowl ads of late have been terrible and this year was no different. Only two or three ads were amusing. I chuckled at the Bradshaw ad because it played off of his goofy persona...

No question the media was way over the top regarding Woods ( puke inducing) and I also agree that hyper worship is an uncomfortable thing in general. Hard to compare but it seems to me Federer had to deal with much tougher competition than Tiger during his run . Same goes for Jack Nicklaus. Heck...

I waited to see who was on the cover of SI this week only to discover they are skipping this week. I know the swimsuit issue is coming soon but these magazines continue to cut back on the number of issues per year with so called fake double issues and other bogus designs to think you are...

Sports Illustrated--who will be on the cover this week? Logic dictates tennis with Serena making history and Roger defying nature. They had their Super Bowl cover last week and not much going on but regular season action in the NBA , college basketball and the NHL. SI has shortchanged Federer...

Huge win for Fed. The last time Fed beat Nadal in a major was 2007 Wimbledon. He hadn't won a major in five long years and Nadal has OWNED him in one on one major battles since including the classic 2008 Wimbledon donnybrook. Maybe that 6 month injury time off for Roger did him some good as he...
