The single biggest disappointment for me this year is Mario Hezonja of the Magic. Barely playing although I see he is getting a few more minutes of late this athletic high flying guard has taken a step backward this season for whatever reason. Here we have an athletic Euro player and he is not...

Stephen A Smith a bit of a cartoon character to begin with, I guess is a Steelers fan although I take that with a bit of salt--isn't he from Philly?--was out of control screaming that the Steelers "let" guys like Hogan torch them. And already you can feel the sides being drawn in the sand which...

Thrashen pretty much covered all the bases of the Pats game but the media in general didn't capture the essence of the game. While I have seen some very good stories on Hogan, Don is correct, he didn't just come out of nowhere. He was a solid player for the Bills and this season basically led...

First a side note. The Super Bowl in Houston will be played on an artificial surface called turf nation. Secondly Ryan Shazier the dirtiest player this side of Suh was his usual dirty self trying to knock out Edelman with a head shot last night. He was penalized but you have guys like Richard...

Ok always alert JL. I will call him DD. I thought he was a sophomore but he is a redshirt freshman. Nice athlete with skills so lets ad him to the list of pleasant surprises by underclassmen this year. I am old enough to remember Harold Jensen back in 1985 a sophomore swingman who helped...

A defender from UCONN, he ran the fastest 30 yard dash at the recent MLS combine at 3.87 seconds. He scored well on all the tests including a near 35 inch vertical leap. He was picked seventh by Vancouver. The only other white guy to make the top ten in the 30 yard dash was Ethan Kutler a...

At the half way mark into the season and it has been a middling affair. I went into the season pessimistic and nothing has happened to change my gloomy outlook. There are clearly no white superstars anymore and it is doubtful one will emerge in the next couple of years. White players are not...

In a season where Thielen just missed out (unfairly) on 1,000 yards I was annoyed that Hogan had to leave the game last night because of I believe a minor thigh injury. He had 4 catches for 95 yards at that point so it was a slam dunk he would have cruised over 100 yards and would have joined...

Nice article about the Chargers move by Bill Plaschke of the Los Angeles Times. If you read between the lines it appears this move will end in failure. This might go down as one of the worst maneuvers by an owner in pro sports. That Dodger like logo as an opening salvo reeks of idiocy and tone...

Excellent post Don by the way. The Charger's fans for 56 years through thick and thin( mostly thin the bolts have never been to the big show) have been loyal servants to the team. What do they get in return after building the franchise? Used toilet paper. This is going to get ugly. We live in a...

To compound the problem the Chargers will be playing in a small stadium of around 30,000 capacity which is more like a Mid American College Football stadium size, until 2019 when get this they get to "share" home games in Inglewood with the Rams. Talk about losing your identity! It will be like...

Wow is that beyond bad. Take one of the most iconic logo's in NFL history( that cool lightening bolt) and turn it into a non descript nothing. So LA is two plus hours away from San Diego and with the Rams back again where pray tell do the Chargers get support outside of San Diego? People who...

Wow I just heard Kellerman and Stephen A Smith plus Steve Spurrier discuss the game last night and Kellerman is killing Smith at least this go around. Kellerman, who picked Clemson said Clemson outright beat Bama and Spurrier agreed. By the way Spurrier was on Mike and the Mike this morning and...

I am listening to ESPN radio Russillo and Kanell who aren't all out caste guys like the morning Mikes and just a couple of minutes ago ( I swear)they were thinking out loud what other college football coaches were taking from the big game last night and I believe it was Russillo who said...

Largent was a great receiver and even though he was not a jet less was made of that back then. Collinsworth had very good speed and was a deep threat and Watson was a forgotten man. Not considered having elite speed ( although he had pretty good speed) Watson was still a real deep threat but he...

I've been obsessed with this post since I first saw it and I kept wondering why in the hell did I keep watching the NFL during these dry wide receiver years? Well for one thing that terrible stretch in the early 2000's coincided with the take off of Brian Urlacher's career. He won rookie of the...

I thought the game was a pivotal moment for caste and will discuss that in this post. Also I am surprised at the muted responses( so far at least) to the game but I thank fellow travelers Celtic and 22 and a few others here for sticking with the game because it was a beauty. We are all different...

Like a lot of people I do not like Nick Saban-look up prick in the dictionary. That said given the final four this in my mind is the best caste match up because unlike Washington and Ohio State both Bama and Clemson feature yep white wide receivers. Bama's guy transfer Dieter doesn't see the...

Janis will be 26 next year which will be his fourth NFL season. As we all know ( see above posts) he has only seen spot duty if that at WR and it is frustrating because I remember that warm delight on combine day where he was killing it in the 40. His first 40 was 4.2 something if I am not...

The two above posts are correct. The intentional shot on Jordy was illegal because the defender speared Jordy with his helmet. Somehow much later on after the game someone brought that up but the Fox announcers just ignored it and didn't bother to question the "ref in the TV booth" about the non...

Good God is that a funny post and picture to go with it.

Ha anything for a thrill talk about desperados. Why have women beat you up physically when they do a pretty good job of that in other ways?

As for Leo's point about Trubisky my general rule of thumb on white athletes declaring is very conservative. In the case of Christian Mac after three great seasons he is ready and roaring to go. Plus the general public is fully aware of him and he will be ready to contribute day one. As for a...

Leaf was AWESOME last night. Down the stretch he hit a couple of key hoops down low including a smooth as butter jump hook over NBA prospect Ivan Rabb. Bill Walton was off the wall last night. Maybe he has been ingesting some of that Grateful Dead concert (candy) but I enjoyed him just the...

On the subject of the draft this will likely be my last post until the NFL combine. I believe one of the worst if not the worst aspects in youth sports is slotting white kids out of the "speed" positions. Too many wanna be white athletes and all the grown up supervisors have given in to this...
