Oh yeah. Don’t get me wrong I’m not gonna launch a fundraiser for the guy, but white Cuban cops beating a black guy in this day and age does more harm to whitey than good.
So for that reason I’d wished they were a little lighter touch.

Agreed, those Cubans are of Caucasian stock.
Anything more related to the Tyreek Hill incident should be posted on the '24 Dolphins thread.
Interesting take from Vox Day. Not that I would agree 100% but it is something to think about.
There is a color revolution going on in NFL secondaries right now
Nice topic started on the LSU Sports Board ....i do not understand this site ...so frustrating not to be able to POST this correctly!

Highest-graded DBs this season: 1. #Eagles Cooper DeJean (84.7) 2. #Broncos Riley Moss (84.0) 3. #Vikings Harrison Smith (82.5) 4. #Dolphins Ethan Bonner (80.4) It’s snowing in NFL secondaries
Plenty positive feedback
"Cooper Dejean is a cornerback and should have been a 1st round pick. The eagles got a steal in the 2nd round."
...but here was one response
"Who cares about the color of their skin, how good are they at their job?"
I liked this reply ....
"The NFL for decades.
Just like at one point black guys couldn’t play QB, white people were too slow to play DB/S according to NFL scouts."
Here was my reply....
It had always been an unwritten rule " All Black Secondaries ; Soul Patrol " were necessary to compete. Much like the lack of Black QBs were discriminated against back in the day.
4 of the 5 Starting White DBs in the SEC are Former WALK-ONs
UGA's ....Dan Jackson
Texas.....Michael Taaffe
Tennessee ...Will Brooks
Arkansas ...Hudson Clark
Only Alabama's Bray Hubbard is the ONLY one offered Scholarship out of HS.
This is the Most Starting White DBs in the SEC since i was little kid in mid 80's bruh!
Always an uphill climb for Whitey. But it's a new breed of White Athlete coming up the Pike! White's ain't just playing Baseball anymore.
Those 4 DBs on the NFL List ....5th
Ethan Bonner & Reed Blankenship went UNDRAFTED 78.9

What grading system is this guy referring to? I ask because I didn’t think Bonner was getting any playing time this year to be graded. Can’t see how he could be in any top anything list.There is a color revolution going on in NFL secondaries right now

This is a parody account. None of the grades listed are accurate. Per PFF, Dejean is a borderline all pro, Moss is an above average starter, and Harrison Smith is roughly league average. Bonner has a poor grade but also has not played enough for it to matter. The overall message is accurate but the post is essentially a meme and the details are made up.There is a color revolution going on in NFL secondaries right now

The hits just keep coming in The Year of the Injured White Player. In addition to Logan Wilson, Troy Andersen finally returned last week for a few snaps but his permanent knee injury must have come back as he's now listed as questionable for this week. His running mate Nate Landman is also injured.
Is there a single White linebacker who's stayed healthy this season? Jack Campbell comes to mind as does Cody Barton but they've been few and far between.
Ladd McConkey is now battling a knee injury in addition to his shoulder problem and may not play this week in his pursuit of a thousand yard season as a rookie.
NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reports Bengals LB Logan Wilson “had a surgical cleanup on his knee” and is expected to miss the rest of the season. Wilson was scratched with a knee injury in last week’s loss to the Steelers and has now been ruled out for the season. The veteran linebacker amassed 100-plus tackles for the fourth straight season, totaling 104 tackles, a forced fumble, two fumble recoveries, and two TFLs. Statistically speaking, 2024 was a down year for Wilson, but his 72.3 defensive grade, per PFF, was the second-highest grade of his career.

Drew Tranquil, Leo Chenal and Jack Cochrane for the Chiefs have survived so far (knock on wood).
Chenal only plays just over 30% of snaps, such talent being wasted. Cochrane is purely a WSTD. Tranquill has also seen his playing time cut back to around 75 to 80 percent of snaps.
I was referring to starting White LBs being injured and only Tranquill qualifies on that front, and while he's stayed healthy his production has been disappointing this season.

Tough year for sure. Plenty of talented White LBs are draft eligible this year. Would be nice to see an increase in Whites at the position next season.

Giants’ Micah McFadden. Robert Spillane. TJ Watt. Van Ginkle (3-4 OLB). Kaden Ellis (if counted) to name a few more, but the point still stands.

Pro Bowl vote leaders by conference and position so far:
AFC:
FB- Carson Steele
TE- Brock Bowers
T- Joe Alt
G- Joe Thuney
C- Creed Humphrey
DE- Trey Hendrickson
OLB- TJ Watt
NFC:
FB- Kyle Juszczyk
TE- George Kittle
G- Kevin Zeitler
C- Frank Ragnow
DE- Nick Bosa
OLB- Andrew Van Ginkel
I know it’s a popularity contest, but I’m glad these guys are getting recognized, especially AVG. 4 starters on defense when the league average is maybe 1-2.
I have to imagine Josh Allen is close as he is listed as a top 5 overall vote getter and Ladd should be getting close.

Nice to see Kevin Zietler finally receiving recognition after more than a decade of very solid play. He came out of one of the Milwaukee suburban schools so I have been following his career closely. Seen him around Brookfield a time or two over the years.
I’m not sure what’s with the “Joe Burrow, Pat Mahomes, Travis Kelce, or various NBA players’ homes (allegedly) burglarized during games.” This is a new narrative this year. Obviously fake, but trying to understand the purpose of this psyop. Why should/would anybody care about hundred millionaire’s homes getting burgled?

Well it's obvious that the perpetrators were busy searching for the Batmobile at Joe's house. This is an interesting distraction along with "New Jersey Drones" and the mentally ill guy that they dug up that supposedly shot the UHC CEO.

Getting this thread back on track after my Happy Hour post above, the NFL is considering making facemask calls/non-calls reviewable next year. Fortunately they are not considering giving the coaches more challenge flags or the games would take four hours each.

Interesting video, I always thought Farve was a bit loopy but he looks 100% cognizant whilst Gastineau looks befuddled and slow...
Favre was an open MAGA supporter before the dam gave way and it became acceptable to be an "out" Trump supporter this year. Saw him a few times on Jesse Watters' show. He speaks deliberately like a lot of Southerners do but he's always had a sharp mind. Gastineau on the other hand, that's tough to watch.

Always been a fan of Favre, having grown up watching him play in Green Bay.
He has always been a conservative guy, has his faults for sure like all of us, but seems to have a good head on his shoulders.

Gastineau is right but there's nothing he can do about it. I just checked his numbers and from 1980-1985 he recorded 92 sacks in 89 games played. That averages out to 17.6 sacks in 17 games. For reference, T.J. Watt's 17 game average is 15.4 sacks.
