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 white-friendly a team as you can find in today's NFL, with an outstanding QB in Jared Goff, outstanding TE in Sam LaPorta, a 4/5 exciting whites O-line including near-unicorn T-rex armed LT Taylor Decker.

Defense still has Jack Campbell and former Chief Ben Niemann at LB. Pat O'Connor rotates in on the D-line. This defensive unit is an IR overload.

Packers don't have much for us to cheer for. TE Tucker Kraft sees quite a few balls thrown his way and they do have a white center. That's it. Needless to say I'd like to see a four-touchdown blowout by the Lions.

Looking at the rest of the schedule, it's not a banner week for NFL game watching. Bills-Rams should be a decent game as well as the Chargers-Chiefs. The rest of the schedule is the most meh I've seen. College ball looks to have much more to offer this week with the conference championship games.
 
Born and raised a FIB, but both sides of the family were from WI so I grew up especially on the paternal side a Packers fan. So I reject the Cheesehead label and I refused to wear one even when I was gifted one one Xmas.

And I have little interest in the Packers winning, but it was nice to see them beat the Bears on a last second block of a FG.

Ha! But you do have a cheesehead, albeit unworn! And yeah, I can see the Bears thing. When two teams are equally wretched, might as well go with the home team. Kinda like the Romeo Crennel days here in Kansas City.

I live in Wisconsin - used to be a big fan of the team when Favre was there and in through the years of Rogers, Matthews, Martinez, Lowry, Nelson, Ripkowski etc.

They are one of the blackest teams in the league and I could not give a rats ass for them now.
 
Last attended a game in GB in 1991 to watch the Pack flail helplessly against the Lions which that year won a playoff game and went on to lose in the NFC conf champ game. Below zero windchill and for all the tough talk about Packers fans they generously listed the attendance that day at 44k or so. And the seats at storied Lambeau stink, aluminum benches with about 12 inches per person and in WI no less where when they don't make up for it in personally worn organic insulation (fat) they wear insulated clothing so think sardines in beer sauce. Milwaukee was a bit better, there for the last game at that joint and Brett Favre doing a hero keeper and taking a lick for a TD. So I have good memories but tonight I could care less who wins.
 
Lions have Campbell, Niemann, Trevor Nowaske Jonah Williams and Pat O'Connor on defense. O'Connor was a great pass rushed in the MAC but has never been more than a spot player in the league for obvious reasons. Glad to see him getting a chance.

It's nice to see the Lions signing White defensive players to help replace the loss of key players like Hutchinson, Cominsky, Azalone and Rodriguez.
 
The league needs more Dan Campbell types, former White players who respect the difficult path other Whites have to take and will not hesitate to play them.

The league also needs more Sean Payton types, cranial coaches who require an intelligent quarterback who can pick up a complicated offense quickly.
 
Noticed safety Zayne Anderson out on the field playing defense tonight.

Lions look like a well oiled machine on offense and defense too. Campbell IMO should be coach of the year.

Tucker Kraft TD

I keep seeing Kraft in these commercials for “causes”. His is Native American (feather head) community work so I started to wonder if he was “part Cherokee” like so many Whites falsely claim. He’s not pulling a Liz Warren, just an “honorary member” through his charity work.

Kraft grew up along the northern border of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Reservation and in April 2024, he was named an honorary tribal member for his acts of service to the community. Kraft wears a Cheyenne River Sioux tribal flag on his football helmet alongside the American flag.

Pat O’Connor receiving heavy praise from the color announcer. Saying he might get the game ball tonights.

This is great news. The Lions have played 7+ Whites while many terrible teams have played none.

If only the copycats would copycat that.
Like the 2000s Patriots offense.
It worked so well, why wouldn’t others follow?

Go Lions
 
Gutsy call by Campbell to go for it on 4th down - paid off for the Lions.
 
Good win Lions over the Blackers! I praise Dan Campbell! A more than fair coach!
 
After so many games this season with horrible clock management, it's nice to see Dan Campbell do it right.
 
Some statistics about the Chiefs and their closest division rivals, the Chargers and Broncos:

The Chiefs are scoring an average of 24.08 points per game, and are allowing an average of 19.58 points per game, for a differential of +4.50.

The Chargers are scoring an average of 21.67 points per game, and are allowing an average of 15.67 points per game, for a differential of +6.00.

The Broncos are scoring an average of 23.46 points per game, and are allowing an average of 18.00 points per game, for a differential of +5.46.

The Chiefs are 11-1, the Chargers 8-4, the Broncos 8-5.

For comparison, the Lions, a 12-1 team, are scoring an average of 32.08 points per game, and are allowing an average of 18.00 points per game, for a differential of +14.08.

(No bigunrealitis, just statistics). Some bastards are just lucky...

Unlike that cuck the Packers have, still chapped over his passive-aggressive crap with Leavit.

Agreed on that, surprised he followed it up with another WSTD in Zayne Anderson.

Well I might be wrong but I think Mark Prior was the last White db to play as a safety for the Packers. His last year was 1998 so make it 26 years, and in 1998 Prior had one start that year. I do remember they had a White CB on the pre season roster one year awhile ago but I assume he has long been in the real job market. As for starting a White man at CB I think we would have to go back to the man starting opposite Herb Adderly and of course I don't remember those years.
