The USA is NOT horrible at soccer. Quite the contrary.

Jaxvid, that about sums it up. I hate to admit that I totally agree.

The BBC website never ever mentions the U.S. on their Football (soccer) page, but winning brings mountains of respect, even to the stodgiest of football fans. The article posted after today's fantastic victory over the #1 ranked team in the world is filled with many positive remarks on the...

Attached is his pro day on youtube. It shows his 40 time from 4.47-4.51. He certainly looks capable to play CB in my opinion. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yu2uY_8Z2HI

Look at this baloney on James Casey. "Casey could help at fullback Fifth-round tight end James Casey (Rice) may be able to help the Texans at fullback, according to the Houston Chronicle. Coach Gary Kubiak said, "We know he can play tight end. I think he can play some fullback for us. He can...

All good responses, and I agree with much which has been stated. Though I would argue that Obama's presidency did not create the current situation, so the jury is still out on his performance. As for governments imposing too much regulation, that has been contrary to actual events leading...

For fear of being labeled a troll, judging by the results thus far, I had delayed my vote. But I have to say without a doubt, I want nothing but complete success from Obama's presidency. I am an American first. Our nation always aspires to be successful; not fail in hopes of eventually...

So, how come on nfl.com/combine/top-performers for the 40 yard dash at the WR position is Kenny McKinley listed as a top 10 performer with a 4.44 time, and Andrew Means is not listed who reportedly ran the same time?

Dennis Bergkamp, no doubt Chitwood! One of my favorite goals is Dennis Bergkamp's goal against Argentina during the WC- 3 touches from a 50 yard airborne pass to deliver a pinpoint strike around a guarding defender... priceless! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exlBHTyB1R0 As for current...

I figured Deion Sanders and the NFL Network could have gone a long way in promoting a more interesting show with Deion's Prime U show set to debut this evening on the NFL Network (see below). A powerful demonstration of Deion's expertise in imparting his knowledge of the game to new hopefuls...

For some video evidence reminiscing on Mully , check this out (I didn't make or pick out the music- though it is old school in nature). BTW: Who ever said Mully had no hops, 2:22 is my favorite Mully highlight of his "non-athleticism"...

Chris Mullin would easily be a shoe in finalist had he not endured some nagging injuries later in his career. All his numbers, though nice as they are, would have been up there with the all-time best. People say he was a pure shooter, which he was, but he was an all-around fantastic player. As...

Well articulated. Good post.

Nutlane, did any scouts there for Cosby take notice of you? I would hope they did, but I would be fairly safe in assuming that you were not approached after quite a fine performance. There is no denying Cosby is a fine player and deserved scouts in his own right, but I wish the people on the...

You would have thought at least Peyton Manning would have been included, since he has been highly active in commercial endorsements. White females are often used to "cover" the conciliatory white athlete in multi-cultural featured ads. I guess this phase of historical guilt will take some time...

Excuse my ignorance of boxing's current landscape, but what is the state of the American white fighter in all of this? I know white boxers have made gigantic inroads towards claiming many of the weight class belts recently. But are they primarily European fighters? Part of the articles point is...

Some early observations from the in progress Texas Bowl: 1) Has there been a forum on James Casey from Rice? This guy has size, athleticism, runs, catches, passes, you name it. I'd be interested in following his progress toward a NFL career. 2) Western Michigan started an all white front four on...

The great thing illustrated from that run is the hole (or lack thereof) Jacob sliced through to get into the secondary. That is not supposed to be the trademark of "tight-hipped" "down-hill" only backs when trying to run between the tackles. The run was a counter and he slipped through the hole...

Shogun, thank you for the reply. I keep re-reading the original post, and I think not too much was meant to be made, other than merely pointing out that Adrian is good guy on and off the field. Just a nice comment coming from a Viking fan. But like you state, this is not the forum for regular...

The CF forum certainly rags on players the likes of TO and Pacman as examples of what is wrong with the league in terms of letting race exempt players from despicable behavior. I think the intention of the original post was merely to state that there are black athletes that deserve to be on the...

So true. I was off and on watching the Buc/Raider game yesterday, when my son screamed out about the great pick by Piscitelli while I was out of the room. I didn't catch the replay in time, so I looked for it on the highlight reel on nfl.com. The game critical pick was only mentioned by Rich...

I really think dividing the conferences into regional zones (i.e AFC East, West, etc.) does a disservice to the league in terms of sending the best teams to the playoffs. How in the world do the Patriots sit home and watch while the Chargers or Cardinals move on into the post season? Keep the...

I don't understand why Tyler is ranked as a fullback on rivals.com. All his stats from size, weight, speed, yards per carry, etc. etc. are right in line with the top 4 RB's on rivals. On top of that in the recent championship (see caption below), he not only ran for 329 yards, he dominated on...

Thrashen, thank you for the nice welcome. I became became familiar and interested in this site in the hopes it can garner enough change in time for my young boys to benefit from it. They (13 and 11) are starting to flourish in their respective sports, and I simply want them to receive a fair...

I read this article this morning regarding Chris Berman hitting his 30th anniverssary as a sportscaster and the significance he his reported to have had on Sports Broadcasting. I would argue, after reading these forums the past few months, that perhaps his significance is not as much as it could...
