The Eagles are now, with Baun, DeJean, Blankenship, Lane Johnson, Goedert etc. one of the white-friendlier teams left in the playoffs. Lots to root for with them actually. If Hurts were to go down and Pickett or McKee replaced him they would be better still. They are pushing into Cream of the Crop territory.

Agree and it's a shame Will Shipley has served a racial apprenticeship his rookie season.

BTW, Baun is a light skinned black.

Oh man, I didn't realize that. I saw his name and his light skin on his arms and just figured he was an overachiever.

Agree on Shipley. Hopefully he gets more chances next year, though it's tough for him playing behind Barkley.

Barkley has always battled injuries, in fact he had only reached 1,000 yards rushing once in the past four seasons, but of course was an iron man this season with Shipley on the team. But he's played seven seasons now which is getting up there for a RB so I'm still optimistic that Shipley's apprenticeship will eventually end.

Tough games for SD and Denver. Herbert had a poor game and got roughed up in the bargain. A Youtube video popped up on my feed that claimed Herbert is "trash." The pitch and tone of the voice: DWF. A smarmy totally cucked know it all who probably never played a sport in his life. The type that would go barking seal if SD traded Herbert and drafted a black quarterback. Probably a Harris voter.

Riley Moss coming off injury have his best game but he's proven he belongs even though the usual suspects would like to see him gone. I wonder why that is? What motivates these people?

A DWF can possibly sober up.

But a Cuck...very little hope for them.

I guess they enjoy their cuckdom.

Jordan Love was hidden for 4 years behind Rodgers, finally given the reigns, struggled mightily but had an 8 game hot streak. This was enough to earn one of the richest contracts in the league. You're now seeing the reality of him as a player, he's been below average all season.

Baun has actually followed the path of many White defensive players -- never got much of an opportunity while languishing with the Saints for four years, signed in the offseason as a FA with Philly and became one of the best LBs in the league this year with over 150 tackles.

Maybe the Saints' front office thought he was white also :)

Black QBs often seem to start off great and then slowly or rapidly decline. Hurts and Stroud quickly come to mind. Going back a few years Josh Freeman had a fantastic season early on and then was terrible after that. Same with RGIII. Other examples of both types can be cited.

If Love doesn't improve the Packers may join the Cowboys, Browns and Cardinals in being stuck financially as Love's contract has some $155 million in guaranteed money. But as of now, the Packers and Texans are the only two "worst of the worst" teams that are playoff quality, while the others besides Seattle are reliably bottom of the barrel.

I’m more ticked Blackers don’t employ White OL.

Them getting swindled by Love is comical to me.

Blankenship easily leads both teams so far with 9 tackles, 6 solo

Still astounded how the announcers can basically be on their knees for Jordan Love despite his performance.
