I remember it very well. It started with Atkinson's hitting Swann in the neck during the 1975 AFC Title Game, knocking him out of the game with a concussion. Swann came back with his most famous performance in Super Bowl X. George Atkinson caused another incident in the 1976 Raiders-Patriots...

Jim Taylor in 1962, 14 game season. Taylor gained 1474 yards, 5.4 avg. per carry, 19 TDs all rushing.

Yes, letting down in the last regular season game when your playoff spot is clinched has been disastrous.

I remember seeing all the players mentioned on TV and reading about them in the sports magazines of the time. Tommy Mason was a very good (short of great) player from 1962-65. He made the Pro Bowl (Pro Football Reference) three straight years (1962-64). Mason was having another good year in...

Yes, it was the usual demeaning and/or condescension that someone like Danny Woodhead gets from media types. The phrase "had to scrap his ass off" is supposed to mean Woodhead lacked physical ability. Danny Woodhead couldn't have played as well as he did if he wasn't very talented. I noted in...

Whether CMac wins the season MVP or not, the best thing would to have big games in the playoffs, win the Super Bowl and be Super Bowl MVP.

Christian McCaffrey IS being discussed for NFL MVP.

Note J.J. Watt's weak (some would say pathetic) tweet on the subject. At the moment the major sports media is not paying much attention to it. I wouldn't be surprised if a crescendo of support for the comment suddenly appears. But it might just vanish from the news in a few days.

He could say, "All White people should be killed," and nothing would happen to him. He wouldn't lose his job, assuming he has one.

This was part of Rose's act: A White guy with limited athleticism who did it with desire and hustle. I've seen Rose quoted, "I have no athletic ability." And "I run pretty good for a White man." He said things like this often, especially late in his career. One of his biographers noted that...

Christian McCaffrey had already passed Larry Csonka in regular season 100-yard games. CMC now has 20 to Csonka's 16. Playoff games are counted separately.

He threw the lateral on the Music City Miracle.

The MLB Network has a new two-hour show on George Brett, premiered Thursday night. It shows George Brett as the greatest hitter of his era. It's amazing how many big home runs he had in big games, playoffs especially. A great White player gets a worthy tribute. It will be repeated several...

In 2022 CMac gained 393 yards for Carolina and 746 for the 49ers, totaling 1139. It is correct to say this is the first year he went over a thousand for the 49ers.

It's easier to adopt a black kid because there are so many more of them available for adoption than White kids. I read somewhere that black couples rarely adopt.

Yes, the gambling is the main reason. The DWFs are too stupid to understand statistical probability.

I'm something of a True Crime junkie. For a long time there was a quasi-official position of "there are no black serial killers." A FBI "profiler" declaimed this regularly.

Jim Taylor of Lombardi's Packers with 1474 yards and a 5.4 per carry average in 1962. Taylor had five straight 1000 yard seasons 1960-64. He finished second to Jim Brown four times, led the league in 1962.

I sometimes wonder if Christian McCaffrey had been named Christian Smith or Jones and from a small town in Tennessee or West Virginia he would have been a walk-on.

Being traded to the 49ers was the best thing that could happen for CMac.

The key to the slant of this SI story on Lasse Viren is that Kenny Moore was a friend of Steve Prefontaine, who was a White American distance runner of the early 70s. Prefontaine was killed in 1975 in a traffic accident and had been training to beat Viren in 1976. Steve Prefontaine was highly...

Have you ever heard this expression? "We fought them the same way they fought us."

Cody Schrader is a White American running back.

I remember in my childhood baseball being the number one sport and how big the World Series was. They didn't need the hype machine used for the Super Bowl. Until 1971 the WS was played during the daytime. People would tell each other what the score was.

The Nashville authorities ae more concerned about the release of the three pages than they are about the contents. They don't appear bothered much by the killer's motivation. And they flat out lied by claiming there was "no political content" in the killer's writing. Tennessee is a Red state...
