Did the Bolshevik Broncos really only start one white player (Manning) yesterday? I only saw parts of the game and Welker was on the field the entire time. I guess it doesn't really make much of a difference.
Over the past three seasons, the Elway/Fox philosophy is so dastardly-Casteon. They purge their team of whites (Tim Tebow, Jacob Hester, Chris Gronkowski, Stewart Bradley, Brandon Stokley, Justin Bannan, Zane Beadles, Dan Koppen, Joel Dreessen, J.D. Walton, Chris Kuper, Steve Vallos, Spencer Larson, Russ Hochstein, Mike Mohamed, Keith Brooking, Jim Leonhard, Blake Gideon, Eric Decker) they have all-black drafts, and they throw money at the biggest free agents (Manning, Welker, Ware, Talib, Ward, Sanders) each off-season in the hope that Manning will finally overcome his playoff woes and win the title before he retires. Realistically, this squad is every bit as odious as Jimmy Johnson's/Barry Switzer’s 1990’s Cowboys teams. Swap out Jay Novecheck for Wes Welker as the lone white skill player and they are the same. May the Broncos got up in flames.
This season has also had some of the most uninteresting games I’ve ever seen, with very few close contests and loads of blow-outs or lifeless, uncompetitive victories by 10-20 points. As always, the concept of “defense†is optional with the exception of a handful of teams. Couple the poor on-field product with the endless media commentary on “domestic violence†(which black players apparently only started getting involved in this season – yeah, right), “child abuse,†players busted for DUI, players busted for PED’s, “Hispanic Heritage Month,†“Breast Cancer Awareness Month,†the omnipresent exaltation of all military personnel, and many other Marxism-laden agendas. Whatever prompts less people to watch the NFL, I’m all for it.
The white running back situation, which looked quite promising, has been a disaster. Woodhead out for the season, Gerhart struggling in the NFL’s most anemic offense, Hillis never seeing the field on Couglin’s Plantation, Rex Burkhead buried on the depth chart, Zach Line inexplicably cut, Brian Leonard still unsigned, etc.
Aside from Jordy Nelson and Julian Edelman, the white wide receiver situation has been similarly disappointing. Danny Amendola barely sees the field in New England, Wes Welker suspended for two games in Denver, Riley Cooper barely targeted in Philly, Cole Beasley receiving limited reps for Dallas in the slot, Griff Whalen relegated to punt returns only in Indy, Brian Hartline barely targeted in Miami, Eric Decker fighting nagging injuries while playing in a poor offense, Kris Durham hasn’t played a down in Tennessee, Dane Sanzenbacher getting limited snap in Cincinnati, etc.
Aside from Greg Olsen in Carolina, the white tight end situation has been lackluster, also. Rob Gronkowski hasn’t been his dominant self in New England, Pitta is done for the year in Baltimore, Zack Ertz has been OK and Brent Celek has been invisible in Philly, Travis Kelce has been alright in Kansas City, and guys like Scott Chandler, Brandon Myers, Heath Miller, Jason Witten, and Anthony Fasano haven’t done much.
Adding to the frustration, “our†teams (New England, Green Bay, Philadelphia, Minnesota, and Houston) haven’t exactly looked like championship material. The Patriots are fortunate to be 2-1 with their insipid offense, the Packers are 1-2 and barely got past the Jets for their only win, Minnesota now has black quarterback Teddy Blackwater as their starter and aren’t likely to make the playoffs, Houston's offense is pathetic, and Philadelphia has had to rely on late comebacks to beat Jacksonville, Indy, and Washington. Of course, it’s still early in the season and everything could change for the better...a Patriots vs. Packers/Eagles Superbowl.
Outstanding summary of this early NFL season, Thrashen. And as Freethinker alluded to, we're not seeing much from the black players/teams either. The NFL thus far has been a sea of mediocrity with absolutely unwatchable games for the most part.
Things can change of course as the season progresses, but I really hope and wonder if the NFL has peaked and we'll look back at 2014 as the beginning of a slow, steady decline.
