That's a real shame for Sam, as he really came into his own with the Vikings before his knee gave out on him yet again. Hopefully Minnesota signs Keenum or a free agent like Cousins and lets Bridgewater walk.

Vikings coach Mike Zimmer characterized impending free agent Sam Bradford's knee as "degenerative." Bradford played just two games because of a knee injury in 2017, and the second appearance was a tough-to-watch half in which he limped around the field. He is healthy right now -- he was active during the playoffs and Zimmer said he was skiing last week -- but it is fair to question how long that will last once he gets back on an NFL field. Even with several quarterback-needy teams in the market, Bradford might have to settle for an incentive-laden deal in free agency.

It's telling that Kizer isn't mentioned in this Weenieworld blurb. As of now it looks like just six teams are a sure thing to start a black QB this season -- Tampa, Seattle, Houston, Carolina, Dallas, and Kansas City.

Buffalo, Cleveland and Indy are all currently likely to move away from their black starter of last year, though I guess Buffalo is still up in the air but more likely than not to move away from Taylor. As of today that's a net loss of two black starting QBs. And there's little hope of that changing in the upcoming draft unless a team decides to groom Lamar Jackson as their starter.

Browns coach Hue Jackson does not want to start a rookie quarterback Week 1. "I would hope there’s other things," Jackson said. "There are going to be other opportunities. We have free agency right upon us." The Browns are widely expected to select a quarterback with one of their top two picks -- Nos. 1 and 4 overall -- but Jackson would like to land a veteran quarterback in free agency as well. After trying to trade for him last season, the Browns are a natural landing spot for A.J. McCarron.

How smart is it for a professional athlete with recurring knee problems to go skiing? I wouldn't invest a big money multi-year contract on a player who does something like that. Too much of a risk.

The so called big news of the week was that Papa John's Pizza has dropped their relationship with the NFL and that Pizza Hut has quickly moved in to fill the void.

Laughable if you ask me. I do not begrudge anybody's diet and it happens that I know people who chow down on KFC and Burger King etc. on a regular basis. At least they are having fun. I don't get the vegetarian thing. Have a steak every once in a while. Nothing like a juicy steak. Live a little. But like I said to each his own.

But from my perspective replacing one crap pizza outfit with another doesn't move any needle. I wouldn't touch that stuff with a ten foot pole Dominos included. I don't eat "fast food.". I am not without vices. I like a beer or two a day ( the good stuff like Heineken,none of that piss water lite stuff) except for Sundays where I have more than a few. I like dark chocolate too. Yet both beer and dark chocolate are good for you in moderation and studies reveal they will expand life spans. I have never smoked and one of the mysteries in life to me is why people ever smoke?

I eat a sensible diet. Too many tuna sandwiches on wheat bread so maybe too much mercury. I like the albacore which is higher in mercury. The chunk lite variety makes me think I am eating cat food. I regularly eat fish and shrimp (crab and lobster are too expensive). A lot of baked chicken. And I like vegetables, salads, potatoes and corn on the cob. And I am addicted to peanuts and peanut butter.

My true love though is Italian food. I love all types of pasta including spaghetti with clam sauce. Regular pasta that is because one time I accidentally bought that whole wheat pasta and it was like eating cardboard. And if you want real pizza head to New Haven CT or Brooklyn.

Pizza Hut--I don't think so. The NFL and junk food. Makes sense.

I find it ironic that with a few of the white running backs that are in the league, a few of them are on teams that have very few whites and teams that have a black starting qb. Odd to say the least.

Pizza Hut and Papa Johns - both garbage pizza. I do appreciate that the Papa John's owner did come out and criticize the whole kneeling issue though. Pizza Hut is just a soulless manufacturer of low quality tomato sauce on cardboard who really tows the leftist agenda. In short - don't buy chain pizza, support local pizza joints run by white folks.

Don't forget Mariota. He is treated in the same manner as the rest of the black quarterbacks so he needs to be part of that conversation.

How many chances is this bust going to get:

Ravens GM Ozzie Newsome confirmed it's a "make or break" camp for 2015 first-rounder Breshad Perriman this summer.

Perriman is entering the final year of his contract after the Ravens declined his 2019 option last offseason. The former No. 26 overall pick has missed 21 of a possible 48 games and was verifiably dreadful in 2017, catching 10 balls for 77 scoreless yards on 31 targets. He had four drops and a brutal 32.3-percent catch rate. Perriman is due just over $1.6 million in 2018.


I also heard that the Rams are going to cut overhyped, mega bust Tavon Austin. The Rams selected a 5'9 174lb Big 12 WR with no polish to his game number 8 overall in 2013.

According to weenieworld Bridgewater is better than Tannehill. I would be amazed if any team believes Bridgewater is a starting QB - he was anything but average when he started but gets the black QB hype to elevate him:


According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, "at least a handful of teams" have shown interest in free agent Teddy Bridgewater as a potential starting quarterback.

He's reportedly seeking a one or two-year deal that would help rebuild his value after missing most of the last two seasons due to a knee injury. Bridgewater's balky knee and questionable arm strength are concerns, but the former first-round pick has 28 starts on his resume and is still just 25. He'd make sense for the Jets as a fallback for Kirk Cousins, who looks destined to sign with Minnesota. Bridgewater's hometown Dolphins could also be looking to upgrade at QB.

My rule of thumb is if they don't have either an Italian immigrant or an ethnic Italian running the pizza place I won't buy pizza from it(unless it's one of the cheap deals). Would anybody buy Chinese food from an ethnic Greek?

How about this beauty currently running on Weenieworld: Two NFL agents told the Houston Chronicle that the Texans "aren't interested" in any players who have knelt during the national anthem to protest police brutality. We posted this blurb under S Eric Reid because he is a free agent who knelt during the anthem. Per the Chronicle's Jerome Solomon, "it is considered to be understood" within the Texans' organization that owner Bob McNair would not sign off on any free agents "who (have) participated in protests or are likely to." In fact, Solomon passes along that there are "many who believe if McNair could field a team with all-white, all-conforming all-pro talent, he would."

Instead, McNair chooses to field one of the blackest teams in the league, including a black starting QB and a black GM. What a crock of you know what. Looks like any owner who isn't a Jew or a flaming leftist is going to be driven out of the league, McNair and Jerry Richardson being the two prime current targets. McNair and Richardson may be cuckservative types when it comes to politics, but they'll never speak out against the Caste System or even take any subtle affirmative steps to be fair to White players.

Wow, great commentary.

What a libelous statement. These satanic tribesmen will stop at nothing to bring down a Christian or “conservative” White man. You can see them laying the ground work for an all out media attack to force this “racist”, that starts one of only a handful of black quarterbacks, to sell his team. They use this playbook over and over.

Makes no sense:


Jim Owczarski of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports free agent DE Chris Smith "is expected to have a lot of interest" when the market opens next week.

It won't be as a starter. Smith was acquired from the Jaguars around this time last year and played 401 rotational snaps for Cincinnati last season, recording three sacks. The former fifth-rounder has 7.5 career sacks across 35 appearances. Smith tested really well athletically at the Combine in 2014.

The Buccaneers have signed first-year running back Dalton Crossan.

Hoping we can have McCaffrey, Burkehead, Woodhead, Zenner, Dalton Crossan, and a rookie like Ryan Nall all on a 2018 NFL roster.

Crossans college highlights are solid. He could definitely be an NFL RB.

The Panthers cut starting safety, Kurt Coleman, last week and he signed with the Saints. At 30 years old, will Colin Jones (the fastest player on the roster) finally start for Carolina?

Could Jordy Nelson actually be a cap casualty and be released by GB? I read another article suggesting that Jordy won’t take a pay cut in what is likely his last NFL contract. Cobb could also be released, so it would be great to see him gone and Jordy retained...

http://www.espn.com/blog/green-bay-...p-jordy-nelson-randall-cobb-and-clay-matthews

Another white WR who won’t take another pay cut in his final NFL deal is Danny “Playoff” Amendola. I’d love to see him return for the Pats, but he’s apparently garnering tons of interest via free agency.

http://www.bostonherald.com/sports/...la_could_see_aggressive_market_in_free_agency

Rex Burkhead is also a free agent that plenty of teams are interested in. With Deion Lewis surely signing elsewhere and Gillislee likes to be released, it would be great to see Rex re-signed in NE...

This fantasy site ranks Davante Adams as the sixth best receiver in the league. Why? Because. . . Jordy is done. Last year had nothing to do with the immortal Brett Hundley, it's entirely because all of a sudden Jordy lost it. Can't wait to see Jordy prove all the "experts" wrong, once again, as he has for his entire career.

6. Davante AdamsJordy Nelson is done. Adams is the new No.1 option for Aaron Rodgers. Adams finally put it all together in 2017 and had an excellent season, despite spending most of it with Brett Hundley. Adams will continue to improve and a full season of Rodgers should unleash Adams’ full potential.

Two players I thought would have good NFL careers are Moritz Bohringer and Justin Zimmer. I even started threads for them.

So far it appears that neither one will be on an NFL team this year. Both are outstanding athletes but, as with many white players, they weren't given a chance to develop.

Idler Arm was just traded to the Browns. Is there any question that Hue Jackson prefers black quarterbacks?

The Packers traded for Deshone Kizer - unreal and totally laughable.
If you look up the history of the NFL the league had an unwritten agreement to never draft or sign Black players from the early 30's through 1946. Now it looks like they have an unwritten agreement to give as many chances as possible to Black quarterbacks.

Kizer should be lucky to be fighting for a roster spot in training camp, as bad as Hunley was as an emergency starter, Kizer was a full level worse than him.

Da Browns are determined to show an almost all black team can be successful. No matter that the Raidus showed last year it is impossible.

The Packers are now unbelievable. Hundley AND Kizer? Good grief! Next we'll hear that they are trading Jordy because, as Don already stated, a "fantasy" site said Jordy "is done".

The Negro Felon League is a full-on propaganda machine and only lacking Communist commercial breaks.

Oh wait, Google, Apple, Coca-Cola...


On second thought...
