What is a xanax bar?

Prescription pill for "anxiety". Very addicting and increasingly abused. Just another solution to dumbing down the population..

These coaching hires are looking extremely AA so far? Two black head coaches who have come from nowhere? Think the NFL has given a signal, MORE DIVERSITY. Maybe the caste coaches now that their jobs are on the line might awaken to the system they perpetuate...

Even the DWFs are scratching their empty heads on these obvious AA hires. The reason for this is if you look at the current four black head coaches Tomlin, Bowles, Hue, and Lewis, only Tomlin will enter 2017 NOT on the hot seat.... Hue, I hear is looking to kick the tires on Tyrod, and if that's true, he'll be gone after next season. I think Lewis has to get to the playoffs, or he's done. As for Bowles, he should have been fired months ago, as he's clearly lost that locker room.

Had these two no-name bros not been handed those jobs, there was the looming potential that we could have entered the 2018 season with only 1 black head coach, Tomlin, in the entire league... And we all know the backlash that would ensue...

Yes the hiring of Lynn is an obvious case of AA hiring he is clearly in over his head and even Rotoworld has stated his coordinators will be largely running the team. I think the sex assaulter(alleged) is probably qualified for the job but as you alluded to similar to the Supreme Court and female judges and Black and other minorities all have permanent quota numbers.

Big Ben is getting so sick of all the TNB in Pittsburgh that he's now contemplating retirement . I'm undecided if it would be a good thing or not. He's already a lock for the HOF and it would be nice to see the Crawfords fall off a cliff without him. Maybe they could replace him with a black quarterback. He's still an elite qb and fun to watch. I'd rather see him demand a trade but the chances of a white player ever doing that are slim to none

Pittsburgh's offensive line has been good the past two years, after being awful for most of Ben's career, so he hasn't been taking the beating he used to. I would be very surprised if he retired, but no question the team would instantly become mediocre at best without him. The likes of prima donna idiot Antonio Brown and pothead Leveon Bell would replace him as the team "leaders," the dysfunctionality would be hilarious to observe

Concern in Pittsburgh that Antonio Brown cares too much about stats

Bad judgment on social media isn’t the only concern the Steelers have about Antonio Brown.

The Steelers are also concerned that Brown is focused too much on his own personal statistics even at the Steelers’ expense, according to Aditi Kinkhabwala of NFL Network.

According to the report, after DeAngelo Williams scored the Steelers’ first touchdown in the AFC Championship Game, Brown was pouting while the rest of his teammates were celebrating because Brown wanted the ball to go to him, not Williams, on the play. And that’s not new: Last year, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin had to sit Brown down and tell him to stop chasing statistics, and that his only concern should be winning championships.

Brown is heading into the final year of his contract, and there’s been talk that the Steelers are planning to give him a raise on a new deal in the offseason. But if Brown really cares more about his stats than about winning, that may not be such a wise idea.

We all know how most affletes care more about their stats than their team's success but you know it has to be pretty bad if even the media is talking about it

Bleacher Report's Jason Cole reports Teddy Bridgewater (knee) is expected to miss the entire 2017 season. Cole cites a Vikings source that informed him the "shortest recovery" time for Bridgewater's injury -- torn ACL and dislocated knee -- is 19 months. Bridgewater was injured on August 30 last summer, which if we were to follow the 19-month timeline, would allow him to be back around March 2018. The last update the Vikings provided, from coach Mike Zimmer after the season, wasn't much of an update at all. Zimmer admitted earlier this month that Bridgewater remained without a timetable. Sam Bradford is fully expected to be the Vikings' 2017 starter.

It gets discussed a lot locally. Brown is a selfish prima donna of the Terrell Owens variety, albeit not quite as openly demonstrative and retarded. He bitches and moans in the huddle and on the sideline if he feels he's not getting the ball enough. When Landry Jones filled in for Big Ben in 2015, Brown flipped out on the field a couple of times when Jones was off target on throws to him. The selfishness of some blacks is beyond the comprehension of White fans, but of course it's mostly excused, because the media mostly excuses it or ignores it. "He's a good kid, he just has some growing up to do."

There's speculation about what the Crawfords will do when Brown's contract expires after next season. They may let him go in free agency or keep him an additional year as a franchise player. Even the Rooney Rulers are wary of giving him a long-term deal. And if he goes to another team, or Ben retires after next year, Brown will be exposed for what he is, a product of the system and a team that has little else besides him at WR, namely the greatness of Big Ben has enabled his gaudy stats, though they declined noticeably this past season.

Reading about that knee injury, he's not going to get the starting job back, once you do nerve damage you're pretty much done.

Colts give GM Ryan Grigson the ol heave ho! It'd be nice to see someone decent end up there. Luck deserves some good talent around Him for once.
I think he was there for about five years. Isn't that about the time the Colts started purging their White players and went from being a relatively White-friendly team to one hostile to White players? If so, look where that got them.

Yup Grigson really managed to screw up Indy in his short time there. I remember a few years ago SI had an article featuring him saying what a grand job he's done since taking over. He's a caste whore like 90% of the rest of them. He purged the Colts of pale faces and as a result he's in unemployment line!!

Although I agree that Grigson is a Caste clown, he did draft Bjorn Werner in the first round and Henry Anderson in the third. Werner was a (rare) White bust, while Anderson flashed a lot of talent early in his rookie season in 2015 but has hardly played since due to injuries.

The Colts were annually one of the relatively Whitest teams when Bill Polian was their GM from 1998 to 2011, and the team was a powerhouse most of those years (as soon as Peyton Manning developed). When he left the darkening of the Colts quickly began under Grigson. When Polian was the Bills' GM they were the Whitest team, and made it to the Super Bowl four straight seasons. As with the present-day Patriots, the other teams in a supposed "copycat league" aren't interested in "copying" successful teams if it means making their rosters even 40% White and playing some Whites at "black-only" positions, though there are occasional exceptions like Green Bay and Minnesota, and Mike Martz's Rams back when they were the Greatest Show on Turf.

Every year the Steelers players vote for the most valuable Steeler and every year they vote for a black player instead of Rothlisberger, when Rothlisberger is clearly their best player.

The FNM never calls them out for it. They never even discuss it. To do so would illustrate the racism of the blacks and the FNM would never do that.

Instead the FNM sweeps it under the rug and pretends the black supremacist vote is reasonable, when it obviously isn't.

How White were Bills by the standards of that era ? Did the media and the DWF hate them as much as they hate the Patriots today ?

They were consistently around half White during their four year Super Bowl run. My recollection is that they usually had 25 or 26 Whites, or just under half of the 53 man roster. Martz's Rams were like that too in the late '90s and early '00s, always flirting with going over half White but never quite doing it. Keeping a roster majority black seems to be one of the major unwritten rules of the Caste System.

The Bills of the early '90s were certainly widely disliked and mocked. Losing four Super Bowls in a row made them national laughingstocks even though going to four Super Bowls in a row hasn't been accomplished before or since. They also contrasted racially with the Cowboys, who dominated them two years in a row, as Jimmie Johnson had successfully transferred his University of Miami formula to the NFL, which then pretty much became the NFL template of the '90s and beyond and is stronger than ever today -- unlike the Whiter template, which is never more than weakly copied in a cucked way by one or two teams no matter how much success teams like the Bills and Patriots experienced.

But as always, even with the "white friendly" teams, things have to be put into perspective. Don Beebe was always a third receiver at best, never a starter. His career high for catches in a season was only 40 and he ended his career with just 219. Steve Tasker was the Chris Hogan "7/11" of his day, always open in practice but almost never playing WR during his long career. Brad Lamb was another talented receiver who was barely used. They had a fullback named Jamie Mueller who could have been a very good power back, but he was used far less than even Moose Johnston, the prototype for the modern "human battering ram" fullback. Buffalo had some good White players on defense like safeties Mark Kelso and Kurt Schulz, LB Shane Conlon and DE Phil Hansen, but no cornerbacks. They were a lot like the Patriots of today, noticeably Whiter than other teams as the NFL went hard-core black in the early to mid 1990s and the Bills stuck out like the Patriots do now, at least to those with even minimal racial awareness.

Just saw this now http://www.indystar.com/story/sport...ss-rusher-bjoern-werner-calls-quits/96636762/

Werner retired, or rather was medically retired by the NFL, ten knee surgeries, both knees swelling every day. No wonder he could never put it together, done at 26.

Wow 10 knee surgeries is no joke. Wish him the best in whatever he chooses next. Still a young guy hopefully he's able to lead a fairly normal life without chronic pain problems unlike Luke Staley...

From what I remember the league was about 60 percent Black then. There were more White O-linemen, D-Linemen, safeties and a cornerback floating around then. Also fullbacks were still integral parts of the offense and some teams kept two on the roster which is very rare today.

The Colts hired Chris Ballard from the Chiefs to be GM. Not sure this is a good, bad or a push in comparison to Grigson.
