    Jordy Nelson

    Once upon a time the word decathlete was synonomous with "athletic", especially a decathlete with Olympic potential, but it has gotten so bad for whites in sports(I was going to say white athletes but apparently there aren't any) that even succes as a decathlete won't gain one the appellation...

    Michael Vick

    From SI.com. - Falcons QB Matt Schaub has more games with three or more touchdown passes than teammate Michael Vick. Schaub threw three TDs against the Patriots Sunday in his third NFL start. Vick has never thrown three TD passes in a game in 44 NFL starts.

    Tim Benjamin

    Success by white sprinters in the 200 will go farther to change peoples perceptions about white sprinting ability than even the great exploits of Wariner, Rock and Benjamin in the 400.

    Craig Pickering

    Good find WL. Pickering certainly seems to have the requisite focus for success. I can't wait for the indoor season to start so that we can get a read on his quickness! Do you know his best time for the 60?

    Roger Bannister Movie on ESPN

    The only running flicks I can think of are about distance runners. In the late 90's there were two movies about Prefontaine, "Without Limits" with Billy Crudup and "Prefontaine" with Jared Leto. In the early 80's Robbie Benson played Billy Mills in "Running Brave. In the disease-of-the-week...

    he is "athletic"

    Ainge was also a Parade high school all-american in football also. When one says athletic I'm sure, that for many, the image that comes to mind is a chiseled black man. This is somewhat understandable in that this the only image that the media presents as "athletic". This is part and parcel...

    Akili Smith v Jeff George

    They don't say much about the 'rocket-armed Mike Vick' though, do they? If he ever got the ball near their hands they might.

    Notre Dame

    And after making what is a contender for catch of the year Samardijiza just popped up and got ready for the next play. No histrionics, no chest-thumping nor any raising of the roof type crap. How about his 53 yard TD where he shed several Purdue players along the sideline and showed excellent...

    Kyle Bell to get his first start.

    Mike Hass

    Just heard Charles Davis the color guy on the telecast with Thulin launch into a bit of a rant about Hass, saying that everyone should stop calling him an over-achiever and start referring to him as what he is, "a great receiver". He also said that people need to admit that they made a mistake...

    '05 preseason All American team

    Forgive the ignorance re: Schroeder but does he start for A&M? Seems like an awfully miniscule amount of touches.

    Detroit Trio

    http://www.kcstar.com/item/pages/sports.pat,sports/3acc9ab3. 418,.html This is an article Whitlock wrote several years ago about Justin Smith of Missouri. Almost sounds like a member of this site.

    Detroit Trio

    I don't always agree with Whitlock (he's local in the Kansas City Star) but he is not afraid to lambaste anyone he thinks is dogging it. He grew up with Jeff George and doesn't seem to be afflicted with blindness when it comes to the athletic ability of whites.

    Ya can’t win!

    I don't recall Marriucci's system creating any "separation anxiety" when it was employed in San Francisco.

    Minnesota High School Football

    Hey Prince of Wales, why the asperity regarding mr. wonderfull's claim to have been recruited by SDSU? Call me naive but unless I have reason to be dubious of someone's claims I think the benefit of the doubt should be extended. Welcome aboard mr. wonderfull.

    Larry Johnson

    Johnson's a creep. He is already in something called a "diversion program" (first time offender blah blah meaning jock celebrity). He was charged with aggravated assault and misdemeanor battery ( slapped a girl and threatened her with a gun) in late '03. Doubtless he'll have the "support" of...

    Eagles v Falcons FIGHT

    That is a really lame defense of a 55.7 passer rating. His rushing per attempt avg. is 6.2 and his ydge. per pass attempt is 6.8. The story of last night's game was the Falcon's defense and missed field goals.

    If nothing else the Chiefs will probably lead the league in arrests. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2005/football/nfl/09/13/bc. fbn.johnsonarrested.ap/index.html

    Tim Benjamin

    Benjamin PR'd at 44.56 to take second at the World Athletics Final in Monte Carlo. Tyree Washington won in 44.51. Wariner had a hip flexor problem and was limping and finished eighth.

    Jeff Blake wants more white RBs, WRs, DBs

    That is the point exactly Shogun. The fact that something so patently obvious is ignored by major media would be risible were it not so depressingly in accord with the general run-of-the-mill groupthink regarding race in America. Kudos to Blake for having the guts to say it and also for having...

    my all-NBA team

    I'd take my chances with those two squads in the NBA Mr. Chitwood. What I wouldn't take a chance on is an all black team of NBA players in an international competition against white teams from countries(Lithuania, eg.)that have populations much smaller than say the Houston metropolitan area.
