Sheesh, in the emergency room I've seen little girls with broken ankles without Beckham's level of drama.

Yes, it hurts. Grit your teeth, wince in pain, but don't cry in public.

Jerry Jones has made it crystal clear. Any affeletic player that does not stand during the Anthem will NOT play. Kudos to him for making the clear command decision.

Let's see if the owner of the Seahawks follows suit, or any other owner for that matter. Heck, in Leftist Seattle, they'd pull a LA Clippers owner-ouster fo' denyin' civil rights to oppressed minorities! (Sorry, I forgot the owners' name that got shafted...)

His name was Donald Sterling. He was forced to sell the team for 2 billion for speaking his mind about affelets and minorities. He made out. But he is on the downward slope. Dementia

Any word on why Jordy did not play on Roger's game-winning drive?

I don't know much about this Chiefs CB Terrance Mitchell but he ******* sucks, and he's a starter. And they think we're supposed to believe that no white high school CBs could be better than this if given a chance in college?

Maybe if colleges and, therefore, pro teams were willing to give white CBs/DBs we'd see far better defence being played in college and pro games than what we see right now.

It's no coincidence that two of the, what, four white NFL starting safeties that have been given a chance (Smith, Weddle, Conte, Sorensen, am I missing anybody?) are elite and in the top few DBs in the league.

...was thinking the same thing for the whole drive. Who's choice was it? A part of me was wishing that choice would backfire on them. He's the best deep threat in the league...

Without JJ Watt, the Texans are now a coal black defense with a black quarterback. They only have a white TE and 2 White OLinemen. Bill O’Brien has ****** this team.
That sucks! However, back-up LB Brian Peters gets playing time, and they recently signed Ben Heeney! Also, Brian Cushing will be back from suspension in 6 weeks I believe! Is LB Dylan Cole white, never gotten a straight answer on his ethnicity? Don't abandon ship yet, not all hope is lost my friend's!

Like I said not all hope is lost yet on offense either, O'Brien has sent them down hill.
Not a flashy position, but Jay Prosch has been a main stay starter for them. Also it looked like both white TE's start, Griffin and Anderson had multiple catches each!

I'm pretty sure Cole is mixed.

Andrew Sendejo, Jeff Heath, and Cody Davis now. That's the rest of em, as far as starter's go.

Cody Davis only started because of an injury to Lamarcus Joyner. Sorensen is only starting because of an injury to Eric Berry. Conte is still starting but is being phased out as Justin Evans was drafted to replace him. Eric Weddle isn't getting any younger. Whites make great safeties but the discrimination is as deeply ingrained at that position as it is on the d-line, even more so.

2 little take aways I'd like to point out from today One: Jared Abbrederis caught his first pass in 2017! Finishing with 2 catches for 37 yards, I think this will spark the beginning of a good career! Abbrederis honestly may be the Lions most talented WR, challenging Golden Tate. I'm gonna make a bold prediction and say Abbrederis will be this years Adam Thielen, you heard it here first!

The second take away from today is Jaguars Max McCaffrey,who caught his first career pass! It was only r catch for 4 yards, but its a start. McCaffrey reminds me of a Brian hartline, and Chris Hogan type. My bold prediction for McCaffrey, is to win the no. 3 WR posting 2oo rec. yards!

There was something ominous about this past week following up last week which wasn't very good either. Sure some of the teams I was rooting for won although the Rams lost to Seattle stung but I get on edge when black skill players put up huge numbers and the white skill players are relegated to mediocre overall numbers. Cry baby Antonio Brown got "his" numbers but justice was served as the Steelers got trounced. Him and Big Ben were at odds over the Anthem among other things of late and it doesn't take a genius to figure out which side that prick Brown was on when it came to taking a knee. Brown is the epitome of the selfish black ******* athlete.
As mentioned above Jordy was held out of the Packers final drive with an undisclosed injury. Not overly serious but just another nail in a coffin that is starting to rev up again when it comes to white WR's. Treading water right now with the white WR situation when all of us here were expecting better things. That said when the cupboard is bare it never hurts to try and find the slightest of silver linings as DS does in his post regarding Max M and Jared A.
I am on record saying I CHEER when the black skill players go down with serious leg injuries ( I draw the line on the head stuff) so I am pleased a few high profile black guys went down for the count. However last night as top TE/WR Travis Kelce was on his way to what looked like an EPIC night he was skulled in the head ON PURPOSE by Houston DB Marcus Gilchrist. Kelce suffered a concussion and that was the icing on the sinister cake where I start getting paranoid that the league is trying to reconfigure things so that the pass catchers and heroes on Sunday are nearly all black. Yet another in a LONG LINE of examples of a black player delivering a vicious head shot to a white pass catching star who is playing "too well" for their liking. As if to say this is "our ( meaning black) position white player." Once again we might find ourselves right back where we started in terms of black/white WR ratios that we saw in the late 90's and much of the early 2000's. Things are bad enough . I do not want to see a step back to that era. We need to see players gaining close to 100 yards in games. Not the 4 catches for 41 yards kind of thing we have seen lately. A few bright spots but I reckon everyone here at caste is not satisfied with the white WR status as of week 5.
Starting tonight with Thielen we desperately need more explosive numbers from the WR position.

Texans coach Bill O'Brien confirmed J.J. Watt (knee) is done for the season. Watt suffered a left tibial plateau fracture on Sunday night. He will be placed on injured reserve in the coming days, and he faces a long recovery which likely will stretch into the offseason program. The Texans also lost OLB Whitney Mercilus for the season to a torn pectoral on Sunday night.

Above post translation that's it for Houston for the year. Too bad about Kelce. He was heading for a 200 plus yards night against Houston's mediocre secondary.

Sports writers everywhere will get hard-ons (or ladyboners) at the thought of writing "DeShaun vs. DeShone."
