    2024 NFL Week 18

    Although there's no TNF this week, thought I would get this started since I'm super busy this weekend with my son's Eagle Scout Project and all. Not a whole lot to watch as far as actual games go. Pretty much everything is already set for the playoffs, only the Broncos, Dolphins, Bengals...

    2024 NFL Week 14

    Posting this one a bit early as I've got a super busy day ahead tomorrow. This Thursday's game should be a good one with a clear CF rooting interest (excepting for King Cheesehead wile of course ;).) The Green Bay Blackers, errr Packers visit the Detroit Lions. Detroit has been about as...

    2024 NFL Week 12

    This week starts off with a cold, windy and potentially snowy AFC North battle between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Cleveland Browns. Someone once coined the phrase "mistake by the lake" to describe Cleveland. I've never been there besides driving through late at night so I don't know if that...

    2024 NFL Week 11

    Almost late on this one! Work's been keeping me really busy. Anyway tonight is a game between two allegedly good teams. Washington at Philadelphia. Both feature "future of the NFL" quarterbacks in Jayden Daniels and Jalen Hurts. I look at Hurts as a fairly run-of-the-mill quarterbacks, not...

    2024 NFL Week 10

    We've already passed the halfway point in this NFL season. The Thursday night matchup this week is actually a good one. A good one in at least we have a clear rooting interest. The Cincinnati Bengals get to visit the Baltimore Ravens. All CF eyes will be on Joe Burrow hoping that he can lead his...

    2024 NFL Week 9

    For Thursday Nite Football this week we have a nearly unwatchable blackfest featuring the Houston Texans at the New York Jets. Looking at the latest Texans depth chart they are the same ugly assembly as previewed by Freethinker in his 2024 team writeup. The only starters are TE Dalton Schultz...

    2024 NFL Week 8

    Opening Thursday night matchup is a decent watchable matchup between the Minnesota Vikings and the Los Angeles Rams. We'll get to see Cooper Kupp back out on the field for the Rams, which is always good. For the Vikings Blake Cashman will be out, and TJ Hockenson practiced this week after being...

    2024 NFL Week 7

    Up first in week 7 is a rather stark caste matchup between the Denver Broncos and the New Orleans Saints. From our perspective the rooting choice here is rather clear. The Saints will trot out Leonardfan favorite Spencer Rattler for the 2nd week in a row with Derek Carr being injured. Taysom...

    2024 NFL Week 6

    Just tuned into the game and noticed that I had forgotten to start this thread. 'Niners at the Seahawks. 3 zip SF with a minute to go in the 1st quarter.

    2024 NFL Week 5

    It's week 5 already in the NFL and starting off the week is the Thursday night matchup between the Buccaneers and the Falcons. For a Thursday night game it's not a bad matchup. We've got two excellent white signal-callers in Kirk Cousins and Baker Mayfield which in itself is a good reason to...

    2024 NFL Week 4

    This week starts off with a NFC East battle between the Dallas "Here we goooooo" Cowboys and the New York Giants. Both teams come in at disappointing 1-2 records. Giants are coming off of a win vs. the Browns while the Cowboys have lost two straight, beaten to a pulp by New Orleans and almost...

    2024 NFL Week 3

    Welcome to week 3 in the League. The opening matchup between the Jets and Patriots is only of real interest to people living in The City as Aaron Rodgers plays in the home opener for the Jets. Like most games I only have a rooting interest in the few white players allowed on the field for...

    2024 NFL Week 2

    Just noticed that this one wasn't started yet. Game starting in about 20 minutes should be a fun watch. Bills/Dolphins. Looking forward to a lot of Josh Allen heroics.

    2024 Baltimore Ravens

    The Ravens for 2024 are remarkably similar to the 2023 crew. So much so that I could have just re-posted the write-up that Don did last year and do some minor lineup tweaks. The only real change is that the Ravens now start 3 whites on the offensive line and the O-line depth has increased. Mark...

    2024 NFL Week 1

    A new season is upon us and the inaugural Thursday night matchup is the Baltimore Ravens at the Kansas City Chiefs. Both of these teams feature "black" offensive signal-callers, Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes vs. 2023 NFL MVP Lamar Jackson. The Chiefs feature quite a few white players in key...

    2024 Kansas City Chiefs

    The defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs are slightly more palatable than previous teams with the addition of 5 more white players on the active roster than last year's team. I've upgraded them to a solid "D" which is somewhat remarkable. Coached by future HOF HC Andy "Still Fat, Slightly Less...

    2023 NFL Season Super Bowl LVIII

    Since we've pretty much tuckered out the confererence championship thread and Super Bowl mania is in full howl I though I would get this one started. San Francisco 49ers vs. Kansas City Chiefs at Allegiant Stadium (AKA the giant Roomba) in Las Vegas. The 'Niners are currently 2 point favorites...

    2023 NFL Conference Championship Games

    Since the divisional thread seems to have mostly moved on to discussing the upcoming games, I though I would start this a little early this week. This week features the Kansas City Chiefs at the Baltimore Ravens in the early game, the Detroit Lions at the San Francisco 49ers in the late game...

    2023 NFL Super Wild Card Weekend

    It's playoff time in the CNFL (Caste National Football League) with horrendous weather being one of the big stories. Here in Kansas City you couldn't pay me to go see this game, unless it's in the heated suite with Taylor Swift. You can get tickets online for under $50 each. Real temperature...

    2023 NFL Week 15

    Had a little extra time today so getting this one started early. Glancing through the schedule for this week I see a lot fewer of Leonardfan's favorite all-black quarterback matchups. The Thursday tilt will feature an interesting QB battle between Easton Stick of the Chargers and Aidan O'Connell of...

    2023 NFL Week 9

    Thought I would get this one started as it features Don's Pittsburgh Steelers against the Tennessee Titans in Pittsburgh. This should be an entertaining matchup, especially since it features two up-and-coming white starters at QB. Hopefully I'll have a moment later on to actually watch some of it.

    2023 NFL Week 8

    Thought I would get this one started this week. For a Thursday game, tonight's should be good to watch, no black quarterbacks in sight. Tampa Bay Buccaneers with Baker Mayfield at the Buffalo Bills with Josh Allen. The Bills are 9 point favorites per the books and I expect them to win and cover that...
