Amazing how the media has quickly switched from Vick to Young in the blink of an eye. Reason is simple. It is not the player/person it is the race. Vick/Young represent the ideal black athlete that "sets Him Apart" according to the media from white athletes--in terms of speed, elusiveness and...

One other dirty secret re: the NFL. DRUGS!!! Word is steroid use is beyond the pale. Oh wait they have a strict policy. BS.. The players have easily beaten the tests and more than any other sport--T and F maybe in a tie with the NFL--pro football is the most drug riddled sport going. So why is...

Both play for lake howell in FL and both are better athletes than the media has let on. Calathes stole the ball 9 times recently in a big tournament and scouts are now grudgingly admitting these guys just might be athletic--oh the pain it causes scouts to have to report white guys are athletic...

Sam M made first team class 5-A. Along with Breece Johnson and 4.4 WR who is being looked at by TCU amounfg others.

Kyle Singler is getting early raves. Bigger, faster and stronger than ever. His ball handling has improved. Those watching him are saying he is a better athlete than Mike Dunleavy. And he plays with a very quick point guard class of 2008 Michael Harthun at South Medford high.

All white Nebraska beat Stanford to win the Volleyball championship. I watched it since the NFL was on the NFL network that night. Glad it worked out that way in the end . Nice to see white gals jumping high in the air.

I sense the NFL is in decline. And two marketing moves will hurry up the process. First is this stupid territory rule where the channel that is not carrying the afternoon late game can't show any live feeds after 4:15 ET even if the game is being shown on their own station unless it was the...

Hat trick--FC won the FIFA Player of the year-which leaves not one ounce of doubt as to who was the best soccer player in the universe in 2006. Triple congratulations.

leave it to me to ask a question then try and find out--anyway I think the guy is black(girl from same school and same last name is black so what are the odds so end of all this- On a brighter note I think Lee Haydel is white but still don't have a definitive photo. Until then the case is still...

If you strip the sports down to the bare essense baseball wins out. Football is bouyed by gambling and that is the dirty little secret. Not being a fan of gambling or casinos that basically swallow up money that communities don't get back I have felt the media has given the NFL a pass on this...

Chalk up another huge award for Fabio as in Fabulous. He was just named World Soccer magazine's Player of the year trouncing the competition. He is only the second defender to win the award in the mags 25 year history. The other defender wasn't too shabby either: Fellow Italian Paolo Maldini -1994.

Guy has a white name but he may not be white. Can someone find out? He is from Louiville HS in Miss. and will play baseball at Delta State. One other helpful hint. He must be related to Percy Eichelberger who played at Nebraska in the 70's. Let us know--thanks

People have been telling me for years baseball will die out---no way I said. Even when the majors went through an attendence slump and strike(s) the minors were setting records. The minor leagues continue to boom like crazy just setting a new record. One hidden secret weapon that baseball has...

I think this guy had academic problems but he is a safety at Murray State which is a pretty bad team. Still the guy has raw athletic ability. How about these numbers --6'2--210---4.3 forty. and he can sky over 40 inches. He is from Florida and people are raving about him. Will be a junior next...

One more note sorry--Bird was not a sprinter--but ran the court well especially early on. In basketball a fast 40 is not required but quick acceleration is more important.

Good points posters regarding Bird's athletic ability. I would sum it up this way. In his prime before the wear and tear-and bad habits--bad diet etc.---Bird who rebounded like a center, passed like a wizard and shot the rock. Bird was really quick and light on his feet. He would explode up in...

The Sports Illustrated snubbing of Roger Federer illustrates an ongoing trend. The media led by SI has turned their backs in one way or another on white majority sports apart from Nascar and the like. The two glaring examples are hockey and tennis. SI has not placed these sports on covers these...

I agree Bart it was deliberate. Will make further post on subject in media section.

Sorry for double triple posts but prowling around the internet there is outrage over the Federer controversy. Old pros like Frank Deford hinted at the slight. A former Managing editor was ticked off about it. All media outlets agree that Federer is the greatest athlete NOT to make the cover of...

Josh Wessling is a 4.4 sprinter from the class of 2010. High School: St. Johns in Beloit Kansas. Plays 8 man football. Is he white? My guess is yes but need confirmation. Anyone to the rescue?

DeMercy and his Norcross team were on ESPN2 Thursday night. He missed all of his three pointers but was rarely given the ball thus didn't factor into the game much. He did block a few shots and dunked once. Extremely athletic--fast with great spring so could end up a Bobby Sura like player at...

The tennis community is very angry and perplexed that Federer was snubbed for SI SOY. Also many tennis fans are doubly perplexed that Federer has never made an SI cover. SI is feeling the Heat--no pun intended on that one. As for Wade-maybe he is a fine all around person and he is a terrific...

If Federer were black he would be spoken in the same terms of Pele--a revolutionary athletic Wonder.

Here is my take. Some will point out it is not a black white thing and mention Tom Brady won SI Sportsman in 2005. Fair enough but there is a trend one cannot ignore. Here is my point. Brady perfectly fits the white stereotype athlete for the media. Not especially athletic--or at least not swift...

Federer did not win the SI athlete of the year. Dwayne Wade won it. I think it is over folks--there is no more hope. How can one rationalize anyone but Federer this year?
