Bucky and EP, the DWF's and the media are taking Blake Martinez to task over his coverage skills. Pro Football Reference's advanced stats have crunched all defenders coverage numbers the last 2 seasons (2018 & 2019) and they do show Martinez struggled a bit last season. Blake was better in...

Bucky, thanks for the update on "Team 9" , which is XFL Commissioner Oliver Luck's idea for a league wide practice squad. This group of players will be based in Dallas and practice/train throughout the season. Pretty good chance most of the players on Team 9 will be promoted this season when...

XFL has set their initial 52 man rosters for Week 1. Here is a quick summary, from a CF perspective: Seattle: It appears Seattle Seahawks "pioneer" Jim Zorn is doing his best to "out-whigger", "Plantation Pete". Don't forget, Zorn is from the odious Mike Holmgren coaching tree, which spawned...

A lot of fans (Giants and general NFL fans) might be getting "nostalgic" regarding Eli, but I've pretty much tuned out the Giants every week since 2004? So what is their to get "nostalgic" about? The few times each year I watched a Giants game was to root for the other team. In Eli's 16 years...

Booth, here is actually direct evidence of George Springer cheating and hitting a moonshot because of it. Poor, beleaguered Chris Flexen of the New York Mets, if the juiced balls and the rampant steroid abuse all around baseball isn't enough, he has to deal with slimy bench coaches like...

Thanks for the input Panther and welcome to the site. Hope you post much more often. Also, I did not post for several months over the summer. During that time span, Jack Lambert T added some excellent input, particularly in regards to West Virginia sports. Hopefully he finds his way back to CF...

EP, I had a good friend during Stan Smagala's collegiate days that was a huge Notre Dame fan. He always used to talk about how dominate Stan was in college. At that point (early 1990's), I followed the NFL a bit, but did not watch college ball at all. With all my friend's praise of Smagala's...

Great points Backrow. Actually, I just looked up the final rushing stats and was a bit surprised to see how close Elliott (Dallas) got to CMac in the end -- just 30 yards behind. Barely won the NFC rushing title, after being far head most of November and December. I guess that had to do with...

While most here are upset Christian did not lead the league in rushing, he was the first white NFC rushing champ in 44 years. St. Louis Cardinals "fullback" Jim Otis led the NFC in rushing in 1975, but finished 4th overall in the NFL. Last white running back to lead the AFC in rushing yards...

Good post. Only issue is Lee Zeldin is very much against impeachment. I know he's also very tough against illegal immigration. Of all the Jews in Congress, he might be the best -- although that's not saying a lot? Kind of like being the skinniest fat man in the room? Also, I'm sure Zeldin's...

I think one of the reasons this site used to have to chase off a lot of trolls for several years (starting around 2011), was because there was either one or a small group of trolls that used to sign up with different names and post troll-like things constantly. My guess is that troll (or his...

Gentleman, not sure if Lonsman** Bruce Allen is Caste slut or not. I always saw him as a "yes man" for Dan Snyder, who makes every major decision behind the curtain. But just for the record, I believe former NFL quarterback Doug Williams has run the Redskins draft the last several years. At...

Nice reply Shadowlight. All great points. I think, at the end of the day, what will doom the NFL in London is simply the logistics of having a team in Europe (as I posted previously) and the players (particularly the bro's) reluctance to play there. Here's an in-depth ESPN article I just found...

Shadowlight, Caldwell has been the Jags GM for a while now. Tom C. was the team's executive vice president. Here's a link that explains it all. Caldwell was hired, after they ditched the Goy that signed Toby Gerhart for starters money back in 2014. I'd bet signing Toby did not help the ex-GM's...

Tough times on the Plantation, as Pete's crew lost their #1 (Carson) and #3 tailbacks (Prosise) for the season. They lost #2 (Penny) against the Rams last week. They will also be without their left tackle going forward. One has to wonder if Zach Zenner's will become a modern day Dave Kingman...

Shadowlight, I posted last week Eli has only one completion to a white receiver (Brandon Stokley, 7 yards) during his entire 16 year career. With that said, if Sills does play, hopefully Daniel Jones comes back from his nagging injuries. Prior to Sills signing, I was hoping he'd sit the last...

Diversify or Die: The National Hockey League Has a Demography Problem: Changing U.S. demographics add to the pressure on hockey to rebrand itself—in the face of ugly reports about racist incidents, Wall Street Urinal. The National Basketball Association (NBA) is 80.7 percent black....The...

Great points, Don. Particularly regarding Letang. They are somewhat comparable, in terms of age, time in the league and stats. Letang is much faster. In his prime Subban's greatest asset was his booming slap-shot from the point, particularly on the power play. His speed always seemed to be an...

Grey Cup Champion Winnipeg Blue Bombers could lose dual-threat quarterback and rising CFL star Chris Streveler, as NFL teams are taking a closer look. Saw him play a bit last season and was very impressed with him as a runner. He is drawing Taysom Hill comparisons, due to his size, 4.44 speed...

Just updated the first list I posted earlier, as Tampa Bay has added another white wide receiver to their roster: 27 year old Codey McElroy. During the pre-season he was listed as a 250 pound tight end. He's now listed as a 225 pound wide receiver. Never played high school football. He played 3...

Thanks for update, FD. Personally, I would've preferred if Kansas City had signed Kal-ergi Man's other best friend (from college) Dylan Cantrell. As he seems to have more upside potential than any of their practice squads goys. Cantrell, by the way, has been wasting away on the Chargers injured...
