The fact is that the Bush regime was so bad that they turned too many red states into blue ones. What did anyone here at Castefootball expect to happen in this election after eight years of Bush. The whole purpose of the sham two-party system is that it allows the American people to get angry...
It's hard to find a silver lining in an Obama victory but perhaps it will help more blacks get on the same page as the rest of Americas cultures who respect the laws and work their 40 hours a week.
Maybe they will start to feel some motivation to contribute. We'll see.
Figured I would start an election thread for tonight.
The first thing I noticed about this election is it's parallel with boxing. Since the days of Jack Johnson, promoters have always known that the best way to draw a large audience was to pit a white guy against a black guy. Johnson could...
WhiteCB is pretty close. Lott actually got injured during the regular season and was told that if he had surgery and let it heal he was going to miss 8 to 10 weeks. The story goes that he then asked how long he would be out if he just cut it off and the trainer told him 4 weeks. So he cut it...
No one knows jack about who's going to win on election night until it happens. True, the candidates know some of the states they will win, but there are too many question marks to know for sure.Edited by: GWTJ
Well, my friend was right. A month ago he predicted that gas prices would fall to $2.50 a gallon by election day. Here in NJ, gas can now be bought for under $2.50 a gallon at some stations. It will probably take most states a little longer to get down to $2.50. But we still have ten days until...
It's pathetic that the media doesn't mention any of these guys when awards are talked about, with the exception of Cliff Lee for the Cy Young award. Pathetic. Even Pujols is getting snubbed by the media and he is as deserving as anyone for the MVP award.
Now that Sabathia has failed to be...
Really, when was that? Would you like to point out just when during the debate that happened?
I watched the debate. Both candidates spoke well though with different styles. Obama made the mistake of agreeing with McCain's point of view way too often. A major blunder in any debate.
I was...
Well, if I was a defensive player, I would sure want Young on the field. The Jags lost when Collins came in. He drove the Titans down the field while throwing for 65 yards, and they won the game.
So yeah, I can see any defense not wanting Young out of the game.
Kerry Collins has been given the starting QB job in Tennesee. NFL.com put up a partial article about it that manages to put a negative spin on the move and berate Collins at the same time. The link is just below. Below the link I posted the full AP article. In the article on NFL.com, all the...
Anyone here remember Dave Krieg. He never got much love from the media or fans. All he has done in his 19 year career is throw for over 38,000 yards, throw 261 TD's, throw for more than 3,000 yards six times and he has a career QB rating of 81.5. Those numbers are really over a 16 year period as...
ToughJ,
There are 32 starting NFL QB's. Do you have any other argument besides McNabb to support your argument that white QB's are only "slightly" better than black QB's? Anything at all?
The reality of the QB situation in the NFL is that McNabb is a competent QB. Culpepper had one Pro...
Here's two of my favorite Larry Bird videos. They're both in reference to the night in 1985 when he scored 60 points against the Atlanta Hawks.
The first one is Doc Rivers talking about that game and the 2nd one is the Hawks coach, Mike Fratello, talking about that game. Great, great...
ToughJ,
Your continued use of the general population ratios has no bearing when comparing the talent level of QB's. The gap between the talent level of the best white QB vs the best black QB is huge. And the gap would become even wider if you compared the 2nd best white QB with the 2nd best...
That's a pathetic, pathetic statement. I guess whites make only "slightly" better pitchers too.
Maybe Nevada had a point when he called out ToughJ on some of his posts.
I truly hope Kerry Collins puts up good numbers and moves the offense much better than Young. It looks like the fans are ready for a playoff run and don't mind booing Young off the field to get it.

Let's not forget Jamarcus's costly fumble early in the game. The Raiders were in the red zone and needed to score at least a field goal on that drive.
It seems to me that almost all of the black QB's exhibit the same weaknesses. No accuracy, run first mentality, inability to improve much...
