Mostly, he talked about what it's like playing in Green Bay, how the franchise can't be moved because of the unique ownership. Another segment will be on tonight (Friday). Favre talked about his family's recovery from Katrina. Southern Mississippi was hit hard by the hurricane.

Tonight, Brett Favre will be on Greta Van Susteren's Fox News Channel show, On The Record at 10pm ET. The theme is, Why is Favre still playing despite the "speculation that he would retire?" Don has written on the Forum that the System Media's main interest in Favre has been anticipating and...

Tennessee didn't have to punt in the entire game. Eric Ainge had another strong game, 24-29 333 yards. He was 13-15 in the first half with both incompletions drops. Ainge had a costly intercept late, his only poor play of the night. Highly-touted receiver, Robert Meacham, has finally started...

I used to watch Have Gun Will Travel when a child. It was one of the most popular TV shows of the late 1950's. Below is from The Complete Directory of TV Shows: "Richard Boone,as Paladin, was a man of culture, who enjoyed fancy meals and literate company, except when on assignment. Then...

Cheyenne was my favorite of the Westerns. I don't have it yet, but I think it is being put on DVD as well.

I have some nephews who say that the only thing they like in black and white is the Andy Griffith Show. By the way Colonel Reb, do you like the so-called film noir movies of the 1940's and 1950's? TCM shows them often. In those days, they were called "crime" or "mystery stories."

I used to watch this show when it was on originally. It is a lot different from what is on the networks today. Younger people tell me that they don't like to watch anything that was filmed in black and white. It would be nice if they watch a show like Rawhide.

Today (9-5) National Review Online has a piece by Michael Novak, titled "Notre Dame Forever." Novak is a kind of Professional Neocon Catholic. Novak describes Notre Dame as the "immigrants school." He is uncomfortable, he says, that ND is starting the year near the top. "It's an immigrant...

The only thing that upsets NFL teams is, as Don says, if large numbers of season tickets are cancelled. This would have to include half-empty (or more) stadiums.

There are two reasons for this. Either the coaches think it is morally wrong to feature a white runner, or they think that they can't win with a white runner, which would cost them their jobs. Which do you think is the answer? It used to be thought that a "big back" who had good speed is...

On Saturday, I went to a Borders Store in Franklin TN. There was a life-size poster of Vince Young beside the front entrance wearing an expensive suit. The poster was captioned, "Meet the NFL's newest superstar." It was an advertisement for an upscale restaurant.

I have a friend who thinks that the white pro football players of the past were just as badly behaved as today's players. "They covered it up back then," he says. I reminded him of pro football players past and present accused of murder (Simpson, Carruth, Lewis). He hemmed and hawed, "Well, they...

Right now, Sailer has it at the top of his blog at www.isteve.com

I know. I know. Most of you don't like Steve Sailer, but check this thread from his blog, originally from CIS. It explains a few things. http://isteve.blogspot.com/2006/08/why-american-government-w ants-to-elect.html

I remember Rappaport claiming that if Gerry Cooney won the title, Cooney would be the biggest money-maker in the history of Sport. Cooney, for all of his liabilities, did have a lot of appeal. I remember leading up to his fight with Holmes, I heard a LOT of people say that they hoped Cooney...

Funny thing, as I posted on the Forum several months ago, Cris Collinsworth complained in his rookie year (1981) about being compared only to white receivers. "I want to be compared to guys like Lofton," he said.

You shouldn't downgrade the Negro League. Josh Gibson is supposed to have hit over 900 home runs against the superior competition he faced there.

Tennessee lost badly to Florida early in the 1997 season and Manning didn't play well in that game. Had Tennessee beaten Florida with a great performance by Manning, he would almost cetainly have won the Heisman that year. The reputation of "can't win the big ones" has followed Peyton...

When I heard Dr. Laura praise Justin Armour (for his moral stance), he was with Denver. I checked and he rarely played, only one reception in 1998. I believe that he played out his contract with Baltimore in 1999. I seem to remember that Baltimore declined to re-sign him in 2000, and nobody else...

Don, Thanks for the information. I noticed him in 1999 as a rare white WR. He seemed to do pretty well that year. Then, he vanished from the NFL. If there is an explanation, it would seem to be that today's coaches, scouts, writers, announcers, and last but not least fans, just don't believe a...

Does anyone have any information about a former WR named Justin Armour? He played three years in the NFL. In his last year, 1999, he caught 37 passes for the Baltimore Ravens. He was out of the league the next year. An oddity is that I once heard him mentioned on the Dr. Laura Radio Show. It...

Yes, he has mentioned this site. He once acknowledged that white athletes don't get the chance to play certain positions in the NFL.

Gibson was doing 87 mph in a 45 zone. He could have killed somebody, himself included. In photos at the Malibu bar a few minutes before his arrest, Gibson looked to be bombed, with an idiotic smile on his face. Naturally, most of the Talking Heads are more concerned about Gibson's drunken comments.

I remember a TV special on O.J. Simpson in 1969 just before he started his rookie season. One of the main themes of the program was the unprecedented endorsement deals O.J. was getting. On camera, Simpson said, "It was an advantage to be black." I clearly remember him saying that. He was...

Most of the studio heads had sworn never to work with Gibson again two years ago. Gibson has enough money to generate his own films if he really wants to. However, getting arrested doesn't do him any good, unless he can still play "bad-boy" roles.
