And while I was posting I see Jaxvid and Speedsters posts. Thanks guys for bringing drugs up. Important points to remember.

First of all I take exception to your comments regarding tennis. Great athleticism is required. And most are in terrific shape. Just check out one of Andre Agassi's training regiments. Most people would collapse half way through. As for my list being weak. Uh, Mickey Mantle perhaps the greatest...

Just to name a few of many. I will stick with men.Jerry West, Mickey Mantle, Kirk Gibson, Bjorn Borg,Lance Alworth, Michael Owen, Bobby Orr, Brian Urlacher,Willie Pep,Don Maynard and Ty Cobb. And there are many more not to mention T&F athletes. By the way a whitewoman won the 100 meters at...

Justine Henin -Hardenne just won her second French Open and fourth career grand slam in convincing fashion over Mary Pierce. A terrific athlete with great agility and quickness, her victory is great news here at Caste. Now off to the big one . Wimbledon!!

Brutal we do have a problem with your so called "reality" which is why this group was started in the first place. As far as your athletic credentials it means junk when applied to whether one believes blacks are faster etc. or not. The fastest guys in my high school were white. What is your...

More names.OF Adam Godwin, who has been mentioned previously, is from Troy and leads nation in SB's with 84. 6.5 speed and great base stealer. OFBrett Gardner of College of Charleston is amoung fastest in entire draft. Burning speed and pro scouts like him so name to keep an eye on. Has all the...

The great English striker Michael Owen scored three goals against Columbia in a friendly match in New Jersey last night.. Arguably the most gifted athlete around in team sports Owen is on his way to becoming one of the greatest English soccer players of all time. Moves, speed, quickness...

Semifinalists include old timer Mary Pierce, another older Russian Elena Likhoustseva--who beat a 15 year old Bulgarian speedster in the quarters. Also relatively young Nadia Petrova--I believe one or both of her parents were track athletes and finally Justine Henin-Hardenne. Hardenne is the...

I have heard of Mayle. I may be mistaken but I believe Mayle is of Arab descent. Which is whiteI guess in a round about way. I believe Indians (from Asia) are also considered white despite dark skin tone?

Watched Maria get pasted this morning by Henin-Hardene. A bad case of one player at home on clay and another struggling to move around on it. Maria will defend her Wimbledon title in a few weeks. She is MUCH more comfortable on grass, her favorite surface. If JHH plays like that rest of tourney...

Nice Maria photo. Oddly ESPN has cut down on their French Open coverage. Usually they start showing matches at 8.00 am ET. Now the early stuff is relegated to ESPN Classic a digital/pay station that I can't afford. Nice job ESPN. They start showing matches at 10 am. But they have cut down from...

Well put big gun and I agree with the others that the Stanley Cup playoffs are sorely missed. Hard to say if media is ignoring it because of the whiteness factor but it does make one think about it. And is it just me or what in the world is so intiguing about poker on ESPN and other channels...

Here we go again. Echoing a recent NY Times piece Grant Wahl(not the worst SI writer) insinuates that the rise of black striker Eddie Johnson is a revolutionary step. He cites his defensive back--speed/hops etc prowess as the next step forward. Again stuff like this is a total affront to caste...

More prospects.:Ben Booker who is signed to attend Baylor runs a 6.4 60. Also T.J. Steele out of Arizona area high school runs a 6.5. And Jacoby Ellsbury from Oregon Statewho I believe is American Indian runs a 6.55. Funny thing is his teammate and less touted Tyler Graham gets to first on a...

The media is missing a few points. First the series is not over especially if Joe Johnson becomes a factor. One thing has been obvious to me. I cannot recall a player as small as Nash controlling a game to the degree he has during the playoffs. The truth is he is carrying the ENTIRE team on his...

Queen Maria was wearing an interesting outfit in her opening round. She struggled but pervailed. About her outfit. Kind of a retro-modern look. The frilly skirt was sort of long and it reminded me of a tennis outfit from way back. Yet the whole thing looked modern. I am no fashion critic but...

Would like to alsothank Great Lakes for his in depth report. keep up the good work--I love lists like these.

Figured I would start a MLB draft thread. Baseball America does a good job laying it all out. Anyway I will mainly focus on speedsters. Off California report fastest white guy is Cal Poly Brandon Roberts who runs a 6.41 60 and gets to first in 4.0 seconds from left side. Fast any way you slice...

For sure Bill Walton's recent insults regarding Nash were poorly put to say the least. But in context I am much more affended by the likes of Dupree and Nance who are the key basketball reporters for USA Today. I will also throw in the chief bb writer Jack MacCallum of SI. Why? First keep in...

Grenway reminds me of Keith Brooking and that is saying something. As for Hawk? Not to overstate but he has the markings of sheer greatness. And number one player in the 2006 draft!!. Derting is another lb to watch on list. Also Drew Tateand Tyler Palko have very good athletic ability so if they...

I won't be able to post much in next couple of weeks but should be ready for French Open which starts around then. As i write the one and only Maria Sharapova is playing in a clay court tournament. I believe if she wins she will rise to number one in the rankings. As for her prospects at the...

Dan Le Batard has a history of bashing white players. He hosted a sunday morning ESPN radio show for several years and I remember him constantly bashing then Kings guard Jason Williams as being overhyped "due to being white" while going out of his way to praise Iverson. I guess Le Batard, who is...

Ricky Neaves is white. he ran the 5th fastest time at a nike camp that featured almost entirely black speedsters at the top end.. He ran a 4.37 40. He is 6' and 194 which was bigger than the other speedsters. From Cooper City High being recruited by Pitt etc. Always nice to hear the names ofnew...

Sorry to double post but would like to clear up a point made earlier. We hear about vertical leaps and standing broad jumps usually in regards to football measurements like the 40 yard dash. Dustin Fox for instance jumped over 43 inches in the vertical test which is impressive.. I made a...

Black Guy you are mining the one (dwindling) thread that keeps the notion of black superiority in play with many. The men's 100 meter dash. Lest we forget women are human beings too and the record shows recent white achievement. For example the 2004 100 meter gold was won by a woman...
