Terrible news about Woodhead for Pats fans. However if he gets the reps he deserves with the Chargers I am happy about it. He's definitely made a ton of fans in NE that will follow him.

Also doesn't help Edelman.

That's what I am hoping for. Always liked Peyton even if he was/is Brady's arch rival. And a decent actor with comedic timing!

Cunningham was already writing his excuse at the press conference. "The only reason this guy has been winning fights is because he is big."

Yeah, it's interesting. I felt the tone at the beginning of the season was generally positive for this team (outside of the occasional, radical article complaining about the paucity of blacks). I think this team has support. They just have to get healthy and then really come together and focus.

Wes Welker was an obscure player before NE as the best receiver on a very shabby Dolphin's team. Amendola is coming from a similar place.

Apparently Amendola's relationship with McDaniels was key to this trade so we'll see. Not everyone (McDaniels) can be an "early adopter" like BB. But it doesn't mean that they don't eventually pull their head out of their *ss with good influences.

I am not sure that we should be complaining about a team becoming stacked with white talent. What is a bigger "myth buster" than seeing a largely white offense demolish black defenses? Individual numbers might decline (though someone has to be the stud receiver on that team) but seeing a bunch...

It's early. He's coming to NE. If he remains healthy (luck is a factor here even for Welker), we'll see what kind of player he becomes. NE is the best environment for an athlete like Amendola to thrive. That's obvious.

They are getting a receiver that is 5 years younger. Durability is the real x factor. Welker, though he had that knee injury, was relatively indestructible. But there is also some luck involved here.

My guess is that Welker was adversely influenced by the "Star Culture" of the NFL. Certainly, we want our athletes proud but the truth is, and this is something we especially agree with here, he wasn't a freak or anomaly. There are other white boys, given the opportunity, that can play just as...

I agree with Don. This may bring Amendola to Welker's level. And the path has already been blazed by the Patriots with Welker where he has been showcased. If there was ever a situation where he was to leave the Patriots and continue to get the same respect and approaching the same number of...

I'll be sad to see him go. As will all the NE fans. But regardless, I see NE and BB remaining the most objective team when it comes to evaluating talent. Will they darken, at least in the short term, as a consequence of his departure? Hope not. He'll play well for Peyton though. If that is...

Nice video. Someone forgot to tell this kid that whites can't ball. With the 40 time he looks like a no brainer. Someone you could groom as a franchise receiver. Great speed and athleticism. ...and he'll run the right route every time out. Give his full effort. Not whine about his...

The cops seem a little too tentative on confirming the identity of the body. Just saying. I mean theoretically the guy had held two people as hostages. Don't they have the testimony of those people? I mean I understand that they don't want pie in their face by making a claim that eventually...

http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=8925646 Not the answer that ESPN was looking for. Though Dan does throw in a few token blacks at the end. Out of the generosity of his heart. Blacks of undistinguished records and reputations, of course. I wonder if the roles were reversed, as they were...

The commercial depicts the father kissing the kid's ass. The only way that a father would be in that position is if he was actually a weak, sh*tty father and husband and therefore deserved the scorn of his useless kid. Though certainly all the decks are stacked against a father (particularly a...

This image has gone viral via social networks with captions like: "Beyonce's publicist wants these unflattering pictures from the Super Bowl to be removed from the Internet. "Nope." -The Internet Implicit whiteness? Not necessarily. Madonna might have gotten the same. Implicit exhaustion...

White Lightning, Have you been watching the games? I completely tuned out after Love went down a second time and had been primarily following them through the box scores/highlights before that. Are the blacks playing 'em rougher as someone predicted earlier in this thread? Are the games a...

I don't believe it is anywhere as benign as you suggest. At a Christmas party, the attendees may not sing along with Christmas music, but they are still there to venerate Christmas in all its symbolism regardless of whether they are aware of this or not. The Super Bowl Party as we know it...

Short of Detroit and Saint Louis, Baltimore is one of the worst (most africanized) cities in America. It makes you wonder how ambivalent all those blacks were when their white quarterback went up against a black. After all, they are a hell of a lot more race conscious than "our" DWFs...

Open season on Asians too.

Injuries.

I guess I could tolerate a Super Bowl like that. Not that I want anyone to get hurt but...

http://espn.go.com/blog/boxing/post/_/id/1880/vera-strikes-again-trips-up-dzinziruk Was there no interest here in this fight? I didn't see anything on the board leading up to it. Looks like he's lost his edge. Naturally, it's all over espn.com.
