Are there any good Caucasian CBs? What about Rob Lee? He's in Buffalo now. What about Turnbull and Soelberg? They might get drafted? Zamaitis? Edited by: hollywoodnorth1

Cool info hollywoodnorth1. Maybe we will have another Sehorn playing soon, maybe 2 or 3.
Despite his Euro-sounding name, no one will be mistaking Zemaitis and Sehorn as cousins:
As for Lee,if he actually plays in the NFL I'll be happy for him but very, very surprised. It would probably take the same sort of chain of injuries that Green Bay had in '98 that resulted in Travis Jervey starting a few games at tailback, for Lee to see the field even as a backup.

well, you might see a lot more half/half players with the amount of miscegenation these days.

Good point, Bear Arms. I hate to see this trend as well.

I was kinda wondering why Wood was sharing this information with us anyway. Are we supposed to root for someone because they have a white, ethnic last name (Zemaitis)? Or because they're half white? Most of the half-black players will never be thought of as less than black anyway.
If we're going to root for a guy based on his last name, I'll start with McNabb. Can't be anything but a true emerald Irishman with that last name!
Unless Wood was warning us that, despite the surname and label, they aren't actually white?

The One World proponents would have the white race watered down so to
speak. Blending second and third world ethnicities with caucasian
stock and arguably breeding out positive,definitive
caractoristics. What ever happened to celebrating diversity
rather than fomenting racial synergy?

Good point spooge. I'd hate to think of a time when we truly are a melting pot, everyone looking the same, and probably thinking the same too. Can we say robots?

Asking as a Packer fan I want to know if anyone knows about their latest waiver wire aquisition Jeremy Thornburg DB? My guess is that he is already penciled in as "safety" material but you never know.
I just googled Thornburg and see that he's asafety whohas already been released this season by both the Eagles and 49ers.
Looks like a sacrificial lamb for the Packers "real" players to bang around in practice. Mike Sherman playing a white safety? Ha, ha, ha.

Thanks, all I could find was that he was a DB no specifics. The Pack has not had a white DB since Mark Prior played for them in the superbowl year and since then the caste system has cemented itself in place.

I saw the Ponsettia bowl last night: Kyle Bell of Colorado State vs. Ballard of Navy. Bell had 122 yards and Ballard 129. Ballard is a senior and I bet he will get little NFL attention despite his abilities. Bell, a sophmore, has a good chance to make it because if his sophomore year is a 1200 yard (12th in NCAA football) campaign, I imagine his junior and senior years will be even better. He is getting some publicity and attention and like I said he is ranked 12th in rushing. Also, I was wondering if CFL star Josh Ranek has gotten any attention in the states. He has 1200 yds last year, he's now a free-agent, and normally the top CFLers get NFL try-outs (Doug FLutie to Bills, Jeff Garcia to 49ers, Ricky Ray to Jets, Dave Dickenson to Chargers, ) so I was wondering if you heard any rumours of him getting a NFL tryout? What about Jesse Lumsden? They are both tearing up the NFL, especially Lumsden. I heard Printers (QB) is in KC.Edited by: hollywoodnorth1

Like Rod Woodson (who I believe is retired) for example.

sorry to jump on you but there are some info in your post that is not exact...
1) rushing yards vary on different websites, they range from both of them getting 126 in game to Ballard 129 and Bell 122...
2) Ballard and Bell are BOTH sophomores
3) Eckel is on military reserve list for Miami Dolphins and the team is looking forward towards his return from what i gathered...
4) Bell's great season unfortunately doesn't match your mentioned 12 thousand yards... more like 12 hundred
5) Ballard is even bigger and faster than Eckel so he should definitely get some attantion from NFL - he is bigger than Mike Alstott was at this point of his career -at 6'1 and 241 lbs- and although he wasn't a featured runner this year he still went for over 120 yards in three last games with his season best vs rival Army- 192 yards with two TDs! he has 668 yards with 6 TDs and his ypc is great 6.1... and he is a fullback, used to be a backup to Hall...Edited by: backrow
