    2024-'25 NBA Season

    To my knowledge, the Bulls are the first NBA team since the Timberwolves, with a young Kevin Love, to consistently start 4 White athletes. After the deadline there was a gelling period to get through, but in the month of March the Bulls are 9-4! And they are not just beating up on bums. They...

    My Book About Sports

    Bigunreal / Mr Jeffries, welcome back! I always enjoyed your posts here and I’ve read articles of yours posted around the internet over the years too. Excellent idea for a book. I’m sure you’ll get a lot evidence shared by posters, myself included when I have the time. Regarding publishers...

    25 Transfer Portal

    Good hire for Iowa. I expect McCollum to have success while maintaining the good demographics. Bit disappointed that Freeman left, but Creighton is equally good with an easier path to the NCAA tournament every year.

    MLB 2025 Season

    NL lineups and rotation demographics. Braves only 3 of 9 but could bump to 4 when catcher Murphy is healthy. 4/5 rotation. Marlins 6 of 9 lineup and 3 of 5 rotation. Mets have weird opening day lineup of only 3 (or 4 with Torrens) of 9. Typically, and if healthy, expect 5. 4/5 rotation with a...

    I’ll update to include SPs too.

    MLB 2025 Season

    Thanks guys. Here’s the AL breakdown. I’ll do the NL later. Orioles at 7/9 today and 8/9 when Henderson returns very soon. 4/5 rotation with the non being Japanese. Blue Jays have 5/9 counting Bichette and Kirk (White hispanic). 4/5 rotation. Rays are much improved with 6/9. 4/5 rotation...

    Current and Past Fullbacks Who Should Have Been Starting Power Backs in the NFL

    Pretty sure he’s on X. Don’t know if he’s active or runs his account….

    New York Giants General Thread

    Giants are going to be terrible again and Schoen and Daboll will be fired. Keeping them as lame ducks was foolish, as they are now signing bottom of the barrel free agents to try to save their jobs by mustering a few extra wins. The good news is that they hopefully won’t be drafting one of the...

    March Madness 2025

    The black author is right but for all the wrong reasons. LOL. “Sports — and the NCAA tournament in particular — may be the greatest pushback to the negativity surrounding diversity, equity and inclusion. Indeed, the sports industry runs on DEI. We’d be nowhere without it.” Sports was the...

    March Madness 2025

    Kentucky not terrible anymore with new coach Pope. 1 starter with 5 year man Carr and underclassmen Chandler, Perry and Noah usually playing as reserves.

    March Madness 2025

    Thanks for the update NM. I watched Purdue and they looked like a well oiled machine. They should be a very tough matchup for all black Houston. Assuming they get past Gonzaga, which could prove to be a huge test this early for a #1 seed.

    Some good results today but some bad too. A mixed bag really.

    2025 NFL Draft

    LOL! Unless he had an injury, that defensive sumo is incredibly weak. Must have all his weight in his stomach and rear-end as his upper body strength is a zero for a man that size. In my lifting prime around 30 years young, I would bench 12-15 reps max at 6’-1” and 220 lbs. And I wasn’t an...

    Great job Phall! Informative as always, with your patented blend of humor. Always an enjoyable read.

    Silver as an Investment

    Good to hear! Hopefully silver moves accordingly too. If gold is setting ATHs, then silver should be at $50 an ounce at minimum.

    NFL News, Rumors and Musings

    Could one argue this stimulates the economy? LOL. Lot of luxury cars, rims, jewelry, weed (taxable now) and air Jordan’s will be purchased over the next month.

    2025 NFL Draft

    We obviously know but there is extreme cognitive dissonance with the average scout or dwf. A guy putting up those stats at LB is obviously going to be a top athlete with speed. You don’t luck into that many tackles, sacks and interceptions. Also, I don’t buy any argument that he was missed...

    NFL News, Rumors and Musings

    Do you guys also notice how the #10 overall pick from 2018, who has career marks of 3-13 with a 54% completion percentage and a 12/21 TD to interception rate, rarely gets mentioned? I’m taking about Josh Rosen of course. Would it be too on the nose to suggest that his ethnicity is the reason...

    Recent BUSTS

    Some interesting data that AI has gathered. Got the idea as I heard Boomer Esiason mentioning it last week on his morning radio show. So 40% of guys drafted are straight up busts, while another good chunk are too, but get these 2nd and 3rd contracts filling out NFL rosters. And then year after...

    College Hoops Season 2024-25

    The SEC has gotten a lot of attention as the best conference this year and that could possibly be true. Most of the teams are very black heavy but in the Championship game starting now, the teams are probably the two most “White friendly”. Tennessee (ranked #8) has Croatian Igor Milicic as a key...

    Atlanta Falcons General Thread

    The underrated DE/DT Morgan Fox finds a new home. Regarding the Chargers, Harbaugh is purging all of his White defenders. Bosa, Fox and Niemann all gone. Seldom used DT Matlock only pale face left.

    Positive spin. He’ll be well rested for the 2nd half when the games mean more.

    Cooper Kupp

    I also like when athletes represent the city or region they were born. Side rant, but I wish professional sports leagues would implement a rule that a certain percent of players (10-20% maybe) need to be born or have grown up within a certain distance of the city they represent. Would take...

    Donald Trump for President

    Very true. I’ve owned my house for 4 years now and has had similar increases on paper. Absurd. I’ve aged out of “young person” and could barely afford my house 4 years ago. At current prices, how could a truly young person or family afford to buy a home? This is terrible for the younger...

    Donald Trump for President

    This! Also if I may add some unsolicited advice. If you are heavily invested in stocks, you are gambling. Someone close to retirement should likely change their 401K into safer or more conservative investments. I just checked my 401k (not that it matters for me now) and it’s only down 1.8% from...
