Unless I’m missing someone, it appears as though there are 10 different white players with a decent chance to eclipse 1,000 receiving yards in 2013. Since I’ve become aware of the Caste System (8-9 years) and all of its vile manifestations, I don’t believe I’ve seen a year in which so many whites were in contention for the coveted mark in receiving…
Julian Edelman will need to average around 70 yards per game for his 1[SUP]st[/SUP] 1,000-yard season.
Rob Gronkowski will need to average around 110 yards per game for his 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] 1,000-yard campaign.
Brian Hartline will need to average around 50 yards per game for his 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] 1,000-yard season.
Riley Cooper will need to average around 90 yards per game for his 1[SUP]st[/SUP] 1,000-yard season.
Eric Decker needs only 29 total yards for his 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] 1,000-yard season.
Wes Welker will need to average around 70 yards per game for his 6[SUP]th[/SUP] 1,000-yard season.
Jordy Nelson needs only 39 total yards for his 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] 1,000-yard season.
Jason Witten will need to average around 95 yards per game for his 4[SUP]th[/SUP] 1,000-yard season.
Jordan Cameron will need to average around 74 yards per game for his 1[SUP]st[/SUP] 1,000-yard season.
Greg Olsen will need to average around 100 yards per game for his 1[SUP]st[/SUP] 1,000-yard season.
As Don mentioned, perhaps the biggest surprise on this list is Julian Edelman, who was a late re-sign (for the league minimum) after several injury-plagued seasons and a once-promising 2012 campaign that landed him on IR. Aside from the Giants, not one other team even worked Edelman out during the off-season. Danny Amendola was intended to be the heir apparent to the incomparable Wes Welker, but Edelman has primarily played as an outside flanker and has flourished the way that few else (aside from CF posters) knew he could. This season is truly the best the former college quarterback (and NFL short-lived NFL cornerback) has ever looked. In years past, he displayed poor hands, had several false starts, and constantly bobbled catches. Yesterday, he made some unbelievable leaping catches in traffic and exhibited some great concentration…

Edelman’s contract was only for 1 year, so we’ll see if New England re-signs him this off-season. Of course, his value in the punt return game (where he holds the highest return average in NFL history) is also significant.
Naturally, it was also nice to see Peyton Hillis back in the fold after being arbitrarily inactive for several weeks. The Giants haven’t lost a game in which he was active. Here is a video of his 27-yard run…

As has been mentioned, it was satisfying to see Eric Decker utterly scorch the Chiefs’ tar-hued secondary for 4 TD’s. It was humorous to view the melancholy-sodden reaction of the always-strident, eternally-intoxicated Kansas City jock-huffers reacts to their much-adored, extra-dark chocolate squad getting humiliated by Decker, who is clearly one of the best deep threats in the NFL…

If one longs to see dejected DWF's, one should look no farther than “Fireman Ed” and the thousands of slovenly minions who financially support the vile “J-E-T-S!” Brian Hartline made short work of them…

Aside from unfortunate victories by Carolina, San Francisco, and Cincinnati, it was surely a nice week of football from our perspective. New England is now one game out of first place in the AFC, Philadelphia survived a quality Arizona squad and is in good position to make the wildcard, the Bears’ loss helped the Packers, Denver beat the Casteon Chiefs, and the Gremlin-lead Redskins secured their 9[SUP]th[/SUP] loss of the season…
CAPTION: NFL's “G00ks for Griffin” Campaign
Unless I require a swift cure for insomnia, I won’t be watching “Zulu Drew” and his racially-obtuse Saints squad battle “Plantation Pete” and his little brown doggie, the “Black Russell Terrier,” in tonight's MNF contest. Obviously, there are very few white players on either team (22/22 blacks on defense) aside from a handful of OL, TE Zack Miller and FB Jed Collins. Whenever Russell Wilson (who I believe does have some talent) is playing, there seems to be some unwritten requirement that Fox, ESPN, NBC and CBS must show his highly-unattractive mudshark during every broadcast.
