Here's a couple current Weenieworld tidbits.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Rams are expected to extend contract-year coach Jeff Fisher and GM Les Snead before the start of the regular season. This farce has been unfolding since the winter, when it was first reported the recently-relocated Rams wanted to lock Fisher up through their L.A.-rebuilding years. Headed into his 22nd season as an NFL head coach, Fisher hasn't won more than eight games since 2008, and has cleared the mark just twice in his past 11 campaigns. As our friends at Turf Show Times point out, Fisher is 10 losses away from having the most in NFL history. In other words, he should be on the shortest leash imaginable, but instead has as much job security as Bill Belichick. The Rams are unlikely to ever get over the hump with Fisher on the sideline.
I agree with this. Maybe Fisher's being rewarded for decisively turning away from that brief period in his coaching career a decade ago when he was actually pretty fair to White players -- when half of Tennessee's defensive players were White and WRs Drew Bennett and Eddie Berlin were playing on offense. I don't mean that seriously, but Fisher does have some strange sway when it comes to being hired and given longevity that few other mediocre coaches ever have.
Cowboys signed C Travis Frederick to a six-year, $56.4 million contract. This deal had been in the works for awhile. Widely panned as a first-round pick in the 2013 draft, Frederick has silenced his skeptics and then some. Frederick, 25, has started 48-of-48 games since entering the league and earned a Pro Bowl berth in each of the last two seasons. He was named a second-team All Pro by the Associated Press and a first-teamer by Pro Football Focus in 2015. Frederick is the pivot on the NFL's most dominant offensive line.
There's very few White players who get drafted that aren't "widely panned" by the caste media and the DWF clapping seals who take their cues from them. Even guys like Vigil and Kwiatkowski who were drafted in the 3rd and 4th rounds this year were instantly pilloried by the Know Nothings. Congrats to Travis Frederick for getting the nice contract.
