    Are NFL starting caliber quarterbacks really that scarce ?

    Truth is, Bennett answers his own question when he ponders out loud, 'I guess that's the value of the position.' For the most part I assume Bennett's commentary is related to his own situation, where he's currently working to get more $, and resents the pay scale as it is (ie-QBs typically on...

    Which Player Would You Rather Have?

    To me, because they're direct competitors, this is the most compelling of your match-ups. Looked at last season's stats, they were virtually even in passer rating (both at 86 & change). Neither were winning games. So 2014 was a push in my mind. That said, I believe Cousins has the longer...

    Little League World Series

    That's an understatement brother.. Not only did they characterize the initial whistle-blowing as a racist conspiracy, but people reportedly singled out the initial White whistle-blower and were subjecting him to death threats. Then the media Marxists piled on the guy, reporting his irrelevant...

    NFL Preseason 2015

    Yeah, 21st Century Redskins have been pretty bad. An owner in Snyder, who resembles an enamored DWF, more than a competent & calculating businessman.. combined with a fan base that now has a lot of zealous ethnocentric hope placed in a disappointing Griffin. It's been a perfect storm of fail...

    NFL Preseason 2015

    Understood, it's preseason.. but the point is sports media is partisan and fawning (to a point of dishonesty). In this case, their tireless advocacy for Griffin's still unfulfilled potential. Last night Griffin was 4 of 8, for 36 yards. Cousins was 12 of 14, 154 yards with a TD. If there is...

    2015 Arizona Cardinals

    I believe Thomas has been a victim of caste practices. He was a great high school tight end. And when he got to Blacksburg, Va Tech's coaching staff sold him on the idea of converting to full time QB. The staff liked his size and athleticism. But it was apparent on the field, Thomas was not a...

    Confederate Monuments

    Not necessarily.. The Jeff Davis monument that has been vandalized is actually under guard at night now. Who knows how long the watch will last, or be needed..but. The Virginia Flaggers are a group committed to protecting these monuments. They're volunteering time to protect 'em, & they...

    2015 Central Michigan Chippewas

    Even tho virtually no one was there watching, last December Central Michigan was involved in one of the greatest near-comeback Bowl performances of all time.. 28 4th quarter points in the Bahamas Bowl. I will always have love for this program after this game. One of the wildest, most...

    2015 MLB Season

    Anybody mentioned this Met pitcher, Syndergaard yet (?) Was watching Mets-Nats last night, Syndergaard was really working the Nats line-up. He's a young guy with a strong arm (fastball clocked up to 99). Sounds like the kid is heating up; over the last 7 games he's 4-1, 1.44 ERA, with 52...

    Confederate Monuments

    Carch., I actually think Longstreet was a voice of reason at Gettysburg. I understand Lee wanted a significant victory on Northern soil (to demoralize the Union war effort), and also understand Lee faced long odds the entire war.. so he was often having to gamble and be aggressive. But...

    Planned Parenthood/Cecil the Lion

    Another layer of hypocrisy, in addition to the meat eaters who selectively demonize hunters, is Zimbabwe's official response. A de facto dictatorship, engaged in a Nazi-like genocide against their White farmers.. is now calling for the dentist to be extradited to face 'justice'. Washington Post...

    Planned Parenthood/Cecil the Lion

    Yeah, I think there's a hypocrisy in the selective outrage over animal killing. Some people are indignant over the killing of a single lion.. but routinely stuff their faces w/bacon-wrapped steaks, veal cutlets, etc. Why is the lion's suffering any more or less valid than any other animals (?)...

    Confederate Monuments

    $1500 reward offered in the case of Jeff Davis' vandalized statue in Richmond VA. The statue has been vandalized a couple times recently, crews are still working weeks later to get it looking right. http://www.nbc12.com/story/29672159/1500-reward-offered-for-info-on-confederate-monument-vandalism

    Planned Parenthood/Cecil the Lion

    Not begrudging anyone's opinions.. but I don't think trophy hunting is defined by it's cowardice (suggested earlier in the thread). I think it's defining message is that we as humans are still wired to hunt. Hunting's a healthy urge for people to stay in touch with.. I believe the cult-Marxist...

    Planned Parenthood/Cecil the Lion

    I'm also an animal lover; believe we all have a responsibility to care (to the best of our abilities) for all of God's creation. But you're spot-on about our society's selective and thoughtless outrage over killing animals. A single hunter is not doing any large scale damage to the animal...

    2015 Arizona Cardinals

    Fair enough.. Palmer's not a young dude anymore, and he's sustained significant injuries over the years. But I just saw a stat that he has the highest win % of QBs since middle of the 2013 season (13-2, 86% wins). The 2014 Cards were 6-0 w/Palmer, & subsequently 5-5 without him. He's playing @ a...

    Kickers and Punters Are Devalued Because They're White

    Long snapping is also a critically important, disciplined job. The guys on the kicking unit (specifically: snapper, holder, & kicker) rarely get much love. Seems the only time DWFs, or the sports media, notice 'em, is when they make mistakes. But these guys routinely win/close-out games...

    What Makes a Real Man

    DoubleD, Good topic. To me, a man recognizes there are things bigger than him, that he is in service to. It takes guts, and a sac, to fight for, and sacrifice for those bigger things. I think boyhood is for learning about defending family, nation, and your belief system. Manhood is when you're...

    The Confederate Flag

    CS, I've always liked your Tom Landry silhouette, but really dig your new avatar. Mort Kunstler painting from a while back. It's cool. Another historical artist I like, who has depicted a number of Civil War scenes & Confederate portraits: John Paul Strain. This guy's outdoor scenes are killer...
