I saw Matt Ioannidis has been placed on IR. Tough break - he is a very good DT.
Well said Shadow light. Sums it up better than i can say it! Maybe there more soy in diets these days? Toxic masculinity must be dealt with!TwentyTwo has alluded to this stream of thinking. It appears a lot of white men are threatened by top tier white athletes. While they see blacks as others they like the idea that they themselves have the same athleticism of whites and so when a white player stands out for his speed and such it makes them feel less masculine. These people are of course totally deluded. They are useless non athletic pods who are taking their hatred out on white players in an attempt to build up themselves. They are the epitome of cowards.
Agreed ! CLOWN WORLD! Same when 7 Notre Dame players tested positive ; they did not even realize they had it!A couple of days ago was the announcement that 5 Titans personnel and 3 players tested positive for Covid 19. The announcement went on to say “all 8 people are ASYMPTOMATIC.” Another stat I heard was prior to week one, the NFL did 13,000 tests, and all were negative.
So, we’re in the midst of a global pandemic of the most contagious, deadly disease in the history of mankind? Yet zero out of 13,000 tests are positive? And when they finally get a few positive tests, the people have no symptoms? And they postpone the game? I honestly feel like I’m in a never ending Twilight Zone episode.
The reality about Josey Jewell as opposed to the media description. I will add that since Jewell has been in the NFL I have yet to see an article on him that doesn't refer to his "limited athleticism."
He was at the combine so his athletic measurable numbers are out there for all to dissect. His 4.82 40 is on the slower side for inside linebackers but not out of the spectrum range. He performed much better than average in all the other drills which more than makes up for his 40 time.. His 4.27 20 shuttle hovers near the top of his position and is faster than a black LB who ran a 4.46 40 in this year's combine. His other drills were even better which include the broad jump and longer agility drills. He was far above average in these and at his pro day jumped 35 inched which is pretty damn good for any position.
So the real story is he has explosion in his legs and has excellent quickness and agility. He is not athletically limited. He is fully suited to play ILB in the NFL and has more than enough of the requisite athleticism to perform at a high level. In other words his functional athleticism is actually above average for an ILB. Add in his recognition skills, quickness of mind and sound tackling techniques and you have a potential star. End of story.
Our favorite closeted Polynesian Teo had similar 40 yard dash numbers and was still viewed as a possible late first round pick by the usual "experts"(the tape said otherwise).The reality about Josey Jewell as opposed to the media description.

Newton probably got his from his fruitcake hairdresser or haberdasher, or as we have idly suspected he is on the down low....I’ll take icepts post over Shadows though no doubt self discipline is an issue.
That about sums it up and the late Little Richard was arrested for buggery so you connect the dots....Cam Newton has turned into Little Richard.
Cam Newton has turned into Little Richard.
Eric Weddle is contemplating a return if he gets an offer from a competitive team. Would be great to see him back out there for another year or two! One of the best safeties of the past 12 years.
We discussed this a few days ago that even black men are noticing now how the usual jewish and white leftists are undermining blacks, and this is part of the reason Newton gets positive press or why an average DL in college Michael Sam was a must have . Even "Jerruh" Jones played that game for a week or two. Cam is the Don Lemon of the NFL probably has a white boyfriend like Lemon, except Cam is less of a jerk.
Shot off an email to Peter King after going through his weekly Monday morning article. I suggest others do the same:
Hello Peter,
I have read your column for pretty much my whole adult life. I am 38 now but can still recall making it a point to read you for your NFL coverage back in 2002 as a 20 year old. Over the years it has become obvious that you like to add a pinch of your political beliefs into the article which has been a big turn off for me personally. I have always considered myself libertarian, I never preached politics or told people how to think - a live and let live type of mentality. In life you go through experiences, you observe, you ask questions and want to challenge the status quo if you see something wrong.
The first thing from the article I wanted to bring up was the unwarranted hit on Sam Darnold by indicating that the Jets should draft Trevor Lawrence. The Jets are a bad team - bad o-line, Bell has proven to be a big time FA bust, the TE Herndon who was hyped up is awful. Also last time I checked Darnold is a QB and they do not play defense. The Jets defense has been laughable this year, one of if not the worst in the league. They are indicative of everything wrong with the defenses around the league - lack of discipline, poor fundamentals, poor game planning, no adjustments etc. To write off Darnold right now is ridiculous. If you recall last year you said watching Jacoby Brissett vs. Deshaun Watson was something you looked forward for years to come - that did not age well at all!
Off to the second issue with your column today regarding The Undefeated's story on Jack Trice. The Undefeated is a racist site - let's just start off by saying that and Rhoden is an agitator milking a 97 year old story for all it is worth to push an agenda. What happened to Jack Trice almost 100 years ago has no context in the reality of today. It's sad it happened for sure but it is in no way timely except for those blind to the truth. I'd love for someone to address the real issues going on in the black community instead of bringing up 100 year old stories or the media today stoking fires with a false agenda of black victim hood. Why isn't the terrible sad story of Cannon Hinnant national news? Why aren't NFL players wearing his name on their helmet? In August over the course of eight days from August 9th-16th 5 black on white murders were committed (John Shockley, Nichole Merrell, Veronica Baker, Nathan Garza are the other four white victimes). This is what is really going on and it's much worse than the false narrative of cops killing innocent black people.
I am going to continue with The Undefeated. If there was a site that promoted white athletes, if ESPN created a subsite to support and give a platform to the issues white athletes face it would immediately be branded as racist and cancelled. The racial hypocrisy is astounding. Their promotion of pushing majority black starting QBs in this country last year reeked of racism and black supremacy. That site is what has set me off on my crusade to expose the NFL and college football for what they are doing to white athletes.
And now I am going to make you think outside of your safe box and the status quo that you both live in and push on others:
Why isn't there a push for more white running backs? Do you really think that only Christian McCaffery is the only white male with the ability to be a starting running back in the NFL? Digging deeper - both Wes Welker and Jordy Nelson were two of the dominant WRs - why aren't we seeing a push to get more white WRs in the league? Do you really think that after Jason Sehorn white athletes magically lost the ability to play cornerback?
I have followed the NFL draft for 15 years and caught on pretty quickly to the system put in place to discount and write off white athletes. Here is a list of adjectives used to describe white athletes:
Gym Rat
Sneaky Athletic
Sneaky Fast
More quick than fast
Blue Collar
Brings his lunch pail to work
These are all back handed "compliments" that also denigrate white athletes to a degree. Spoiler alert: The caste system exists in pro sports and is used to filter out white athletes starting with high school recruiting and going up through the draft. A black player is going to get more offers/looks because he is black - that's systemic racism for you. I know you will write me off as crazy but like I said earlier I have followed this league, the draft and football recruiting for 15 years and it's no coincidence. There is plenty of evidence out there. You may want to start doing some real journalistic research in finding and exposing the truth rather than just doing your part to cover up for the status quo.
