Ron Rivera the "beacon of virtue" has cancer, supposedly it's stage one and easily treatable.
Rivera who has become the head coach, civil rights icon and feminist all in one season as one scandal after another has engulfed the team formally known as the Redskins. I don't recall any other coach who has had to adopt all of these hats before, the usual line from most coaches is "I'm just a coach". https://www.msn.com/en-ca/sports/nba/ron-rivera-reveals-cancer-diagnosis/ar-BB18cOk6

Guess who is waiting in the wings to become the head coach if Rivera has to stay away due to medical issues. None other than Black Jack Del Rio. Just like mediocre black players get recycled for many years throughout the league the coaches who adhere to the caste system fervently also get gifted very long careers in the league.
I don't have an issue with Rivera - he is a solid coach, was a good d-coordinator with the Chargers, seems like a good guy and as a player I do not think he was a beneficiary of the caste system during his time in the league during the 80s (although the caste system didn't seem to target the LB position until the 90s). Any issues I would of had with him would of been tied to the fact I do not like Scam.

No issue with Rivera here either. Solid coach and guy it seems.
Del Rio, despite his caste adherence, scores points for his “kiss my ass” comment in regards to standing for the flag.

I wonder if Holley will be playing linebacker or safety. He was a stud safety in college and became an undersized linebacker in the CFL at 6’0” 210lbs. Someone needs to sign his versatile brother Nick! He was a fan favorite in the XFL playing slot and RB, he could be a poor mans Danny Woodhead if given the chance.

I don't want to get my hopes up too much but Holley should be an in the box type safety - similar to how the Chiefs used the vastly underrated Daniel Sorensen (who played an essential role in the Chiefs super bowl and playoff run).

Hopefully Gunner is able to get onto the field. Looks like Belichek's history of drafting black WRs early comes back to bite him.
NESN's Doug Kyed believes Gunner Olszewski has "looked like the second best" receiver at Patriots camp.
Julian Edelman has unsurprisingly been the top wideout on the field. It's a notch in the belt for Olszewski's development but also an indictment on 2019 first-rounder N'Keal Harry, who has failed to stand out in practices. Veteran pickup Damiere Byrd has also gotten some summer praise from beat writers out of New England. The Patriots are still searching for the right combo at receiver, but we doubt Olszewski truly becomes fantasy relevant despite his flashiness. He was pretty good last preseason before catching just two balls for 34 yards on very limited opportunities in the regular season. Olszewski has a lot of climbing to do on the depth chart.
Montgomery was very hyped up going into last season as a rookie. He disappointed overall but Rodeny Nagy gave no chance to Nall.
David Montgomery said he "slimmed down" over the offseason and now weighs 218 pounds.
He officially only lost five pounds, but Montgomery cut out junk food from his diet and made eating right a focal point of the offseason. "I was a lot slower than I know I was capable of moving at," said Montgomery of his rookie season, "and it affected the game. I kind of let myself get in the way of myself as far as what I ate last year." Montgomery rushed for 889 yards in year one, but he averaged a pitiful 3.67 yards per carry. He wants to be more explosive with the dropped weight. Montgomery remains the clear lead back in Chicago and could be in for a big second season if he's able to become more efficient with his touches. Montgomery makes for a strong RB2 based solely on volume. If he can hit some more big plays, then the upside is there.

I was going to post this in the Packers' specific page, but in these waning days of CF I thought I would post it here as this is how the NFL swirls the drain lead by "leadership." On the other hand my local HS plays its first game this week, not sure if I will attend since I do not need much of an excuse to avoid crowds.

I hope things work out well with the H.S. football. I'm afraid there will not be any played in my area.

With nighttime approaching and the clock ticking I will try to get a few more licks in.
I hope to post two separate pieces in the RIP forum. One will be how I plan to cope post Caste Football and offer up some friendly advice on how to proceed forward. Not that anyone will pay attention to my "advice."
In the other post I want to briefly discuss the effect CF has had on sports and will speculate on what the sports world will look like Caste Football free.
In the meantime this piece will be entitled "Mystery Theater: The NFL Combine."
Yes I find it disturbing that they dress up participants in skin tight latex outfits that would make the Village People proud. If it was up to me I would have everyone in standard baggy sweatpants and tee shirts. Now if it was a female combine I would have them in tiny gym shorts with an athletic tee shirt top.
But what has always perplexed me was the way they time the 40 yard dash. It seems to me if you are going to record times electronically there would be no need for Charlie the clown and other "scouts" to time the players with their stop watches. Is there a secret "Kentucky Fried Chicken" ingredient involved that translates into cheat for black watches? Maybe I am being paranoid but some years I thought there was a method to their madness. Basically round down for the blacks round up for the whites.
Who can forget the wild and wooly 2018 draft? S Troy Apke got selected much earlier than anticipated and five wide receivers were chosen. Strangely both WRs Proehl and Quinn were the last two players chosen in the entire draft. Of course things haven't turned out as one would have hoped for some of those wide outs but overall it was a pretty smashing draft when you compare it to the last one which had zero White WRs chosen.
That combine was an entertaining spectacle. There was eternal prick Deion Sanders getting all crazy after Troy Apke burned through his 40 in 4.34 seconds. Deion and the greasy Rich Eisen acted as if they had never seen a White athlete run fast before. Mike Mayock was there too.
But to jar memories the one armed Shaquem Griffin stole the show with his 4.38 40 yard dash. I can understand the human interest story angle but the media milked it until it was dry and then milked it some more. I knew immediately that something was wrong with that time. And some others did too but they were drowned out and cast aside. His 4.58 second run was dismissed out of hand as the media focused on this miracle player. Don had me laughing out loud when he mentioned the much maligned pop duo Milli Vanilli which turned out to be an appropriate comparison in more ways than one.
When I looked at the tape of his first run I could see they didn't start the clock on time. It was rather obvious. When the party had subsided and away from the media eye NFL draft scout Frank Cooney admitted the clock started a little late and subsequent close breakdowns of his run did reveal that yes indeed Griffin's first run was actually 4.58 seconds just like his second run. But why waste a party starting lie so the media ignored those new revelations.
But for sheer strangeness nothing beats the Andy Isabella saga. There was a double happy ending but to recap on his first run he ran a 4.56 40 which stunned me and even those in the booth were a surprised a bit. My heart sunk. He improved to a 4.46 on his second run. But still many were expecting a faster time than that.
Later on in the evening they adjusted his time down to 4.31 seconds. There were some magical watch guys who had him as low as 4.27 but it appeared no one wanted to go that route for a White player so 4.31 was deemed the official time. Round up fellows it's a honky. It was mentioned that there was a timer mishap during his run. And a similar screw up on his second run.
Curious doesn't even cover it. For starters if there was a mishap on his first run it stands to reason that the timer might be off for the next runner or two as well but no it worked perfectly for them. Keep in mind timing miscues are exceedingly rare at the combine. The Griffin case was more of a deliberate ploy to make him seem faster.
But OK the timer was fixed right? Well it just happened to screw up again on Andy's second run too. I guess one could argue that Andy's body heat threw off the timer? Ha. The funniest outcome of all of this was Todd McShay. I wasn't a big Kiper fan for years but I have noticed in recent times he has cooled down a bit on the caste slant. McShay on the other hand came onto the scene with every caste gun blazing and has not abated one ounce. After Isabella's initial "4.56" 40 he gloated on the web that he had predicted Andy wasn't as fast as some had claimed. Talk about sweet justice. When Isabella's real time of 4.31 was revealed I took great joy in seeing that fraud McShay take it right up the ass.

There's been a definite backlash to BLM as far as public opinion as more has slowly been learned about its communist agenda and its very selective interest in which "black lives matter." But the NFL and other pro sports went all in immediately and certainly can't back out now with the league being over 70% black. With few or no fans in the stands the media will pretend all is well as the BLM agenda is pushed to a nauseating extent this NFL season and beyond. From the always "woke" limpwrists at Weenieworld:
The Lions canceled Tuesday's practice to protest the Kenosha, Wis. police shooting of Jacob Blake.
With coach Matt Patricia present, Duron Harmon, Trey Flowers and Taylor Decker addressed the media. "As a team, we looked each other in the eyes and realized that football isn't important today," Harmon said. "We have a platform that we are able to use not just to raise awareness but to create change." Flowers echoed Harmon's words. "We can't say silent. We cannot be going on in the world with our regular day. So today, unified we stand here and we came up with these words, these slogans, and we spread the message, spread the word." Players and teams across the league have expressed anguish at Blake's shooting. The NFL is coming around on the issue of racial justice after its disastrous initial response to Colin Kaepernick's protest.
No more terrorist attacks; no more school shootings; no more celebrity rapists; just white cops shooting black men. This agenda will be discarded in a few months. I can’t wait for the next psyop. It’s hilarious how easy it is to trigger the entire black population with these events. Somehow black celebrities talking, kneeling, and sloganeering is going to stop the handful of police shooting which occur each year. Meanwhile they kill each other at astronomical rates.

It truly is amazing. On the other hand that poor 5 year old white child was gunned down in cold blood and not a peep from any of these entitled race baiting a-holes.
FTR the local Democratic Party mafia crew, some education something or another extortion outfit has come out full bore against football being played with a whole bunch of silly demands. Of course the normies and conservatives will try and reason with these criminals so we will see if any football is played. Does wonders for the local all black mega school which ships off "the real athletes" to D1, but hey gotta break some eggs black or not.
IMO its possible the Left just lost the narrative war by loudly threatening to take their arson to the residential areas, but we will see conservatives could screw up free ice cream.

It looks like somone killed two of the leftists up in Kenosha from the reports I’ve read. It was only a matter of time before this happened - leftists running these cities restrain the cops from enforcing the law and using a heavy hand against rioters, Soros funded DAs make sure that rioters get out of jail quickly and easily to be sent back to the streets - normal citizens made to defend themselves while the media conglomerate pushes the lie of “mostly peaceful protests” and makes the average person who just wants to live their life out to be the bad guy. That about sums up what is going on with the false BLM narrative. Too bad these NFL idiots can’t think for themselves.

Bears RB David Montgomery was carted off (with a groin injury). I’ve never heard of anyone carted off with a groin injury so it’s either a very bad one of Montgomery is soft. Hopefully this opens up an opportunity for Nall.

This is a good development. Not because I seek a civil war but since the defanged police departments etc. can't do their jobs some vigilantes have stepped in performing their job for them. This whole whiny baby black act has turned the black race into one of the most sissified group of people in the history of mankind as they fly off the handle now over the most minor incidences involving certified black thugs.
Additionally the high ( and deranged) comedy at CNN is priceless. After months of feral carnage where people died on the streets, cities were burned to a crisp, widespread looting on a massive scale and general mayhem that ruined everything in their paths, CNN all of a sudden after this vigilante incident ( which might have been self defense actually) are scared that violence has suddenly gripped America. I guess all that widespread destruction that occurred before last night's killing were just peaceful protests. CNN is quivering in fear now though. To them if blacks and others sympathetic to their cause commit heinous crimes then it is all for a good cause. If a righteous minded group who value law and order fight back CNN is aghast. All morning long they have had "violence" panels to discuss what they see as the end of civilization.
