This is just terrible.....Interesting, yet terrible.....

Best and worst white running backs of all time.......

Spoiler alert....Gerhart was named worst ever. Horseshit.....Drafted by a team that didn’t need him and signed by a team that couldn’t block or throw the ball downfield.......

And of course there is no Comments section for that POS article. Gerhart at #1. What a racist ignoramus that "writer" is.

Word is out that Jordy has quickly taken control of the wide receivers at Oakland and will work as a player coach as he puts his fellow WR's Bryant, Cooper and Switzer in the best position to excel. Not surprising considering Jordy has the winning pedigree (his awesome Super Bowl performance against the Steelers in a win) and the class to draw respect.

Also I suspect Brady 'chose" Braxton Berrios. Brady at this stage in his career can't be bothered with dumb ass Wide Receivers anymore and wants someone smart who will follow his lead like Berrios.

The writer has a black sounding name. No surprise.

I know it's not the NFL, but Manziel officially signs two-year contract with the Hamilton Tiger Cats of the CFL. I think the Canadian Football League suits his talents better than the NFL. Maybe he'll find his way back into the NFL if he performs at a very high level (both on the field and off).

This is good news about Manziel. He has the talent to be a good starter in the NFL but his off the field issues got in the way.

He should do well in the CFL if he has his personal life under control. Hopefully he can then make a triumphant return to the NFL.

I thought Baker Mayfield was the number 1 quarterback in the draft. His only drawbacks were his height, 6-0 5/8, his hand size, 9 1/4 and maturity questions. Other than those things he has pretty much everything you want in a franchise quarterback.

Many people favored others as the number 1 quarterback. Sam Darnold seemed to be the consensus as the number one quarterback. I'm curious about what it was about the other quarterbacks that made people think they were better than Mayfield. Maybe those who favored other quarterbacks could give their insights.

Saw that the Jets traded Hackenberg to the Raiders and Paul Worrilow tore his ACL. Worrilow should of been a starting LB rather than the journeyman he has turned into.

I like it. Hack gets 2nd chance to backup Carr and coached by Gruden who adds another pale face to The Raiders.

I hate it. Tough blow for Worrilow.. Eagles just released Kendricks . So that puts Philly 2 down at LB..

Anyone notice that Rams signed Nick Holley as a RB?!

Bugs signed WR Thomas Sperbeck. Good to see him sticking around . He was Outstanding at Boise State!

Also Titans signed WR Nick Williams.

All long shots but it's something, better than nothing.

Terrible news. With washed up Antonio Gates finally out of the picture, Henry was set for a huge breakout season.

Hunter Henry suffered a torn ACL at Chargers OTAs on Tuesday. What a devastating blow to a player who was projected to play a massive role in a Chargers offense without Antonio Gates in it for the first time in 15 years. Henry is obviously done for the season, and it leaves Virgil Green currently atop the depth chart. It’s fair to wonder if the Bolts will turn back to Gates after they told him they were moving on earlier this offseason. However, Gates showed he has little to nothing left in the tank. Perhaps the Chargers will use more three- and four-wide sets with their abundance of receivers, including Keenan Allen, Mike Williams, Tyrell Williams, and Travis Benjamin. GM Tom Telesco may also explore the trade market.

Great news about Holley......
I figured he would end up at slot, knowing our beloved NFL.....
He’s a ball player, there should be a roster spot for a guy like that on any team....

Damn that really is a tough blow with Henry going down. It’s too bad the Chargers did nothing to address the depth at TE in the draft as their next in line Virgil Green is mediocre.

Good news indeed.

Best of luck to these talented young men. They will need it as the Caste System is a merciless as ever.

After posting 478 yards and 579 yards, respectively, in his first 2 seasons (despite sharing time with Gates and missing a few games due to injury), Henry was indeed poised for an amazing season in 2018. He may have even gotten close to 1,000 yards. What a shame...

In an article on NFL.com Bucky Brooks advocates for Tyrod Taylor starting the entire season over number 1 pick Baker Mayfield. Presumably this means even if the Browns end up out of playoff contention, which they probably will.

Brooks claims that Taylor has been one of the best quarterbacks in the league over the past 3 years. He cites some positives about Taylor but fails to mention that Taylor had only 14 TD passes last year, fewer than 3000 yards and has a history of playing badly against good teams. There are reasons why Buffalo gave up on him.

Mayfield, on the other hand, is a record setting college quarterback, a Heisman trophy winner and the number 1 overall pick in the draft. He was an experienced 5 year senior in college. The Browns obviously should be starting Mayfield as soon as he's ready.

There's a racial angle as to why Brooks wants Taylor to start all year. Brooks is black, Taylor is black and Mayfield is white. Blacks always support other blacks no matter what. Brooks obviously wants Taylor to start the entire year because Taylor is black and Mayfield is white because the move doesn't make much sense from a football perspective.

Blacks always support other blacks no matter what. Whites should start doing the same thing.

At the very second that I read that Brooks thinks Taylor should be the starter the whole season my mind immediately thought it was because of the racial angle. It's become the norm in the talking points of the Blacks who are on sports shows. No matter how ridiculous the Black athlete gets the nod in any given position in which a Black and a White are possibly vying for in their minds.

As of now the Dolphins project to have six White starters, which is double where they've been for a number of years. Three on the o-line, Ryan Tannehill, Danny Amendola, and Kiko Alonso. Just seeing them not have a sumo o-line is a big change. From Weenieworld:

Jesse Davis is penciled in as the Dolphins' starting right guard. A fourth-year undrafted free agent, Davis made the first 16 appearances of his career last season, including 10 starts between left guard and right guard. He was a major liability. The fact that he remains in line for a starting job speaks to what a trouble spot the Dolphins' interior line remains even after the signing of Josh Sitton.

Also, Gesicki might be the Dolphins starting tight end. Three white players and one black are the top tight ends on the depth chart.

Pure anti white propaganda from Weenie world as always! Dolphins in fact view Davis as an ascending young player. They like his size (6'6 310)and ability to slide out to RT if needed. Also It looks like Ted Larsen will be the backup to Davis and Sitton at guard. Weenie world once again with their flat out lies! BTW cheering for Davis, last season before he started 10 games for Miami he was repairing broken down farm equipment in rural Washington!

Dolphins had a nice draft this year. They also added another TE in Durham Smythe and a LB in Quentin Polling as well as a Kicker Jason Sanders. I'm holding out faith that Gase has a good year and will be around for awhile.

The Senior Bowl has named a Seahawks scout as it's executive director. Not sure how much more discriminatory towards white athletes the Senior Bowl can get but based off of Seattle's draft record it would not surprise me to see the senior bowl become even more discriminatory towards whites.

The early reports on Chad Hansen were encouraging even before this one. From Weenieworld:

MMQB's Albert Breer reports the Jets believe 2017 fourth-round WR Chad Hansen could play a "Pierre Garcon-type" role in their offense. Hansen was limited to just nine catches as a rookie, but it sounds like the Jets have bigger plans for him as a sophomore. There is a glut of names ahead of Hansen on the depth chart, but each of them comes with considerable concerns. Quincy Enunwa is returning from a serious injury, Robby Anderson could be facing a suspension, and Terrelle Pryor has another ankle issue. If any of those situations go bad, Hansen could be the one to step up. He will be a name to watch in camp.

What a stupid post from Weenieworld. Jesse Davis was one of our best O-linemen last year. He was great at guard and has the potential to be a starting RT as well Do these guys even watch the games at all? The sumos like Pouncey and Bushrod were the ones who were a liability and they have since been purged.

All-time money player Dwight Clark passed away today from ALS at 61 years old. RIP you gave me great memories in the 1980s.
