To be fair, there are some things Hillis will probably never do. He will probably never be arrested for bringing a handgun into a strip joint. Most likely he will never be involved in a murder investigation. And I seriously doubt he'll ever owe six-figures worth of child support payments to multiple babymommas. So he hasn't surpassed affaletes in every statistical category.



Hillis is only making a little less than $400,000 this year. Are you not worried when he starts making millions next year that he's gonna be rollin around Cleveland in lambos and bentlys, going to the strip joint and "makin it rain" with a black trash bag full of 1 dollar bills and somehow bullets go flying? Are you not concerned that he'll let his boys smuggle large amounts of drugs in an escalade with his name stitched in the head rest?



I'm mostly joking, but the jump in his income will cause a large number of treacherous women to surround him if he's not careful, up to and including b-list celebrity types. The difference in the life experience of an athlete at the 400k level to the multi-million level is stark. It's going from clinger college girls texting you each day and wanting you to buy them a few shots at the local sports bar to witches that are used to having dudes by them diamond necklaces and taking them on expensive vacations. As we know most white athletes are a lot smarter with this like Chris Cooley, Dallas Clark, and others, but some are not like Ben Rothlesburger and Brett Favre.



Yes, Hillis' life will be very different if he becomes a big star with a huge contract. He will have to avoid the pitfalls this can bring.
Pretty sure Hillis is married to his high school sweetheart. She can keep him in line.

yep hes married

"After college Hillis married his high school sweetheart Stephany
Millick. The couple wed during the opening ceremonies of the brickyard
500 Nascar event."

I know Favre was married and had a few problems but nothing major besides the pain pill addiction. I am not sure at what point in his career that happened. And then that photo thing late in his career. He did like to party in ATL before he made it big, but I don't think that is Hillis's style. I don't think he is going to change. I just hope he runs just as hard, I am sure he is aware that no matter what he does there is the possibility of them reducing his role. Yeah he is the face right now when selling tickets, but fans would still go to see him in an Alstott type role. Not to mention there are rumours that if Mangini gets fired, Gruden will be brought in. Which doesn't sound like a good thing for Hillis. So hopefully the Browns finish 8-8 and Mangini retains his job, or hopefully 7-9 will be good enough to say. He is better than Gruden, and supposedly the guy that wanted Woodhead for the Jets.

Good point, the Browns need to get a top notch receiving threat in the draft to help keep the opposing Ds from stacking the box. The Jaguars defense stacked the box with 8 guys (even 9 a few times) all game to stop Hillis because they were shutting down the Browns receivers. The right side of the Browns line has usually been beastly, but the Jags zeroed in on the right side of the Browns line and overpowered them with a numbers advantage. It would be nice if the Browns drafted Matt Szczur to be one of their two starting outside receivers. Szczur could also slide over and play the slot at times and run the ball on sweeps or direct snaps just like Cribbs does too. I'd like to also see Cribbs used more on vertical routes next year as the other outside WR because of his speed. Szczur certainly has nice speed too. If Cribbs can work on his hands and fundamentals a bit he could be a great asset to the Browns as a receiver. Colt McCoy and Seneca Wallace have looked pretty good considering the lack of receiving threats they have to throw to, but it hasn't been enough against some defenses- to keep them balanced on stopping the run AND pass. I think McCoy looks like he is starting to figure out QBing in the NFL and with an added target in the draft next year it should help to keep the opposing D from putting 8 men in the box at most times. McCoy is clearly the future at QB for the Browns and it would be nice to see Wallace stick around as his backup if he can live with being the #2 QB without complaining. Wallace clearly has shown more this year than Delhomme and is younger.

Well hopefully Szczur decides to go pro in the NFL. A white receiver and rb might be too much for dwfs to handle though. There are guys out there right now that could stretch the field, Jones if he is ever going to get another shot, and Curtis is if he still has the speed.

The Browns desperately need to get Colt McCoy back under center. Delhomme is an absolute mess back there- he almost single handedly gave the Carolina game away. The offensive coordinator is also a complete idiot- how could he continue to allow Delhomme to throw those wobbly ducks up there, when he has a great weapon like Hillis and is playing with a nice lead?

On the Cleveland Browns' forums, the DWFs are clamoring for Evan Moore to get the ball. Some even make the logical (and totally non-DWF) suggestion that he be converted to WR.

A Negro tries to surpass his "God-given limitations" when it comes to writing, but fails with the primitive screed below.

This has to be read to be believed -- according to this wacko, black QBs and coaches still face all kinds of discrimination, including by the "redneck element" that dominates the NFL, and White running backs face no discrimination in recruiting nor in opportunities. And he claimsblacks don't get to hear any blacks talking about sports on the "airwaves" -- has this dude ever watched ESPN, whose basketball and football coverage is dominated by blacks -- who are 1/8 of the population -- and who are also over-represented in coverage of other sports, including those in which their participation is infintesimal -- hockey, tennis, golf, NASCAR, and others.

There's a lot more that can be said about this mentality, but in a nutshell, themore extreme affirmative action becomes in favor of blacks, the moremilitant black supremacists become. The racial divide is large and growing. Pandering doesn't work, and neither do multiracialism and multiculturalism.

Straight No Chaser: White Chocolate
Hillis and Woodhead only have to surpass their own god-given limitations


DENVER (BASN) -- I was listening to Mike n' Mike in the morning, ESPN's drive time TV/radio show, hosted by Mike Greenberg and Mike Golic, they both commented on how boring they found the NFL's Monday Night slugfest betwixt the San Fransisco 49ers and the Arizona Cardinals . . .




That's just the opposite of what I thought. Maybe a sports-fan's interest levels are determined by an number of factors - including the skin color of a player or coach.
Personally, I'm rooting for Mike Singletary because I understand the history of the league and the history of the nation. Considering Black men have all but officially been excluded from being head coaches in a league Afro-American gladiators predominate and dominate.



I'm also rooting for Troy Smith, yet another Black Quarterback who's striving to achieve and excel at the field general slot . . . against all odds, against obstacles,against the prevailing hurdles and limiting expectations imposed by the White male sports establishment.


I can only assume, knowing what assuming does . . . that neither Mike nor Mike were looking at the game through my eyes, in my shoes . . . and that's apart of the Goddamn point.


When will millions of Black sports fans ever hear Black people on the airwaves, in prime time offering a constant stream of thought and observations?

I like listening to these guys, I catch them on a regular basis - I've no bone-to-pick with these cats. Its simply interesting and telling that in the male soap-opera which is sports, which is what the NFL is - I guess they're not specifically interested in the plight of "the Black NFL Coach nor "the Black NFL Quarterback Saga."



Perhaps, like most of America's White sports fan - they don't really see the situation the way millions upon millions of Black sports fans do.







I want Singletary to do well, I want Troy Smith to excel and do well. Why?



Because I relate to and am sympathetic to their plight - the same way White guys are today cheering for Peyton Hillis - a White tailback in the NFL - such a species is rare, an endangered damn near extinct creature - so here in Denver, the sports talkers have admitted Hillis is a "icon" a hero" . . . and the question is . . . a hero in who's eyes? And why?


Regain some of that Galloping Ghost,Golden Boy glitter which White guys have been unable to do since Pittsburgh Steeler Merrill Hoge, the one of the last White man to run for a 1,000 yards in the NFL, and actually do it with some style and flair. 1962 Title Town's Jim Taylor who lead the league in rushing with 1,474 yards. He is the last Caucasian player to lead the league.

This is a tender sticking point with White dudes, deep down inside it aggravates million's of gridiron fans that a white impala . . . is an endangered spices.

Now note; the issue of a Black man not having the intellectual, the mental capabilities to lead an NFL offense, to dissect an NFL defense, to grasp the complexities of an say . . . Andy Reid offense, like Donovan McNabb and Now Mike Vick have done, is a slight, an insult, directly tied to the Angry White male/Republican Tea Party depiction of Black and Brown people on a whole within society - and clearly a sticking point with Black folks.

But dig this; Nobodies stopping, forbidding nor denying White guys the opportunity to "excel" at the running back position in the NFL, or for that matter, Division 1-A NCAA football . . .


The Black Quarterback situation is, by most observers observations, a whole hell of a different tale. The Redneck element which is prominent in the NFL has made no qualms about Blacks alleged inability to "master" the position.



The Bleacher-report and other sports media publications of today - are littered with the thoughts of cats who call themselves "writers" who've conclude the "experiment" is falling - no Black QB's have one the Super Bowl since Doug Williams, and they slight his victory as well. This means we're not capable . . . as a species.

Aint that a bitch!

The history of strategically excluding Blacks from the game, and specifically head coaching and the QB position is a well documented one today's White sportsfan conveniently forgets.
From Washington Redskins former owner George Preston Marshall . . . who "twisted the arms" of his fellow NFL team owners to impose an unofficial ban on black players - it was enforced and abide-by for 13 years.



Marshall opposed integration; from his lips - "I'll hire a black player when the Harlem Globetrotters add a white." The Redskins end up being the last NFL team to integrate - in 1962 . . . the NFL has attempted to control the pure numbers, the impact and influence of the Black player.

Willie Thrower, Bernie Curtis, Marlin Briscoe, James Harris, Joe Jefferson Street Gilliam and Doug Williams pioneers, Black Quarterbacks in the NFL, who if you ask them, ask the guys who played with them , and ask the writers who covered them - they'd all tell you about the racism, both overt and diabolical, these men encountered - one today's White sportsfan and writer conveniently forgets.
Hillis is no hero, he's not battling anything but his own limitations, no Black man is slighting and questioning his every move or denying, undermining his growth and success, the same can't be said for today's Black QB. The nay-sayers, the haters are everywhere.

All the man-luv and bromance for Hillis and the other golden boys is centred around feelings of inferiority and an obvious inability to compete then anything else.

The writer of that report is spot-on. He's a genius; pure poetry flows from his keystrokes. Freud, who?

This man must the the greatest psychoanalyst of all time.

People like Hillis because they feel inferior. Our number? Consider it GOTTEN.

Those who excoriate the writer's literacy or ability to analyze and interpret reality are clearly Hillbillies who traipse the Ozarks barefoot.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm going to bombard the major media outlets with a storm of emails complaining about the lack of Black representation on the airwaves.

Sometimes, this constant pro-White agenda the media tries to ram down our throats just gets sickening.

Just the other day, I happened to be on a public bus filled to overflowing with White American citizens, and what do you think I saw on the plasma screen mounted at the front of the bus?

-- A commercial showing a nice, clean cut White man holding hands with a pleasant White female. There was a child between them, and it was implied they were a stable, happy familiy.

I'm so sick of that endless propaganda.

Sometimes I just want to see -- for once -- a commercial where some illiterate baboon makes jive talk at a mudshark.

What a delusional racist jerk the above "writer" is. I started reading the article and couldn't go very far without feeling sick to my stomach.
smiley55.gif


In other news, I just wanted to give my take on the Joey Bakersville guy:

I'm impressed with Joey Bakersville for admitting he was wrong. Seems like a stand up guy as few of those caste clowns on ESPN or Yahoo have the humility to admit when they are wrong and go on looking like idiots for not admitting as such. Maybe it was simply the fantasy football implications that were bothering him about Hillis and he failed to consider that Hillis was injured for a few games. I thought it was racial disdain, but I was probably wrong.

The bottom line is that more blacks have to think about how they were completely ignored at QB before today's age- where they are now favored at the H.S and college level. The NFL only seems to tilt just a little pro black QB right now over playing time. It isn't enough to really get my anger brewing.

The other thing that is disturbing about Rivals ranking 1 white WR or RB out of the top 100 is that it is creating anger from white H.S athletes (who get what's going on) toward black athletes. Also some idiots like one of my cousins best friends from Jersey think that blacks SHOULD be given affirmative action in sports because they "suck" in the classroom and can't cut it in the white collar world even with affirmative action. This friend of my cousins is actually pretty racist, but would call us fighting for equal opportunities for whites in sports "racist". Truth is that blacks need to be encouraged to keep pursuing academics in college, as many from the inner city or poor backgrounds don't consider striving to make it to college and some even drop out of H.S. Many blacks I've worked with or encountered in my life who have gotten a college degree are good in the social science fields and entertainment fields and in sciences like Biology. I do think that there is a bit of an IQ gap in higher math and mathematical sciences though between blacks with Asians and whites, just like there seems to be a gender gap. They can call me racist for believing this, but it isn't racist as long as you don't hate someone for their differences.

And back to what snow was saying. Yeah, it would be awesome if the Browns got Matt Jones to stretch the field: I think the maximum that the DWFs and anti-white media can handle right now is two of the top three WRs being white and the backup RB, or one of the top three WRs white and the starting RB. Anything more than this starts to get called a "David Duke" offense...How ridiculous in a country that is about 70-75% white.

I hope you're right about that, TJR. Not that White athletes are angry towards black athletes, but that they realize what's going on, e.g., that they're victims of a Caste System in athletics. Blacks are the superficial beneficiaries but they aren't the cause of the Caste System, nor are they the sustainers of it. For all the mindless trolls who come here to bleat about our supposed "racism," we aim at the true causes and effects. The Caste System is part of the agenda of the globalist elites,self-chosenwould-be rulers of the world,who are overwhelmingly "white," or at least not black. It's the same agenda that has brought about open borders, massive outsourcing of U.S. jobs, overwhelming legal and illegal Third World immigration, affirmative action against White men, and degradation of Whites in all spheres, particularly the media.

Thanks much for that Don,

It's my opinion that the worst enemy blacks have isn't us or White people in general, or anyone else. It's their inability to see things through. They can start a project, such as becoming an NFL QB, but can't follow through on all the nuances that separate a run of the mill QB from a great one. This includes on and off the field. They don't understand that if they get into trouble off the field and because of that trouble, they can't play, it's the same as not showing up for work. At some point, they all will have some sort of issue to overcome (just like everyone else in life) and won't be able to. It never fails.

Unfortuneately, race is everything to them. It enters into everything they do, from brushing their teeth in the morning to football, to deciding what pair of trousers to wear each day. Certainly, with thinking like this, it's impossible to succeed in anything you may try in life.

Years and years ago, when I was still a bit liberal, Malcolm X came to the city to deliver a speech in a Harlem mosque. The blacks wanted to make a big deal of it and somehow got hold of a limo owned by a black limosine service to pick him up at Kennedy airport. Before they left the airport, they got pulled over by the cops for not having the correct plates on the car. Of course, they screamed bloody murder that it was all racist, but I thought at the time, how could they have done such a thing as to not have the correct plates on the car? In the paper, it showed Malcolm X standing alongside the car like a fool out on the road. That was one of the first times I thought anything about blacks and just what was their problem. Their problem is they don't want to put in proper effort into anything they do in life. It's too bad, because some of them have talent, but because of all the other baggage they always carry around with them, those talents seldom come to the fore.

Yes if they were even average starters on the right side then maybe, but from what I have seen and read from the fans that watch them every game, they shouldn't even be starting right now. And its usually pretty bad when a fan puts down an afflete, usually they get the benefit of the doubt.Interesting article, not sure if it has been postedhttp://nfl.fanhouse.com/2010/12/02/reverse-racism-alive-and-swell-in-nfl/<h1 ="entry-title"><span id="ppt19741689">Racism Alive and Swell in NFL</span></h1>written by LeCharles Bentley "The National Football League does an excellent job of publicly attacking
some issues and problems. Unfortunately, the league disguises one of
its most embarrassing issues within a veil of euphemistic lingo and
"throwback" logic. This issue doesn't exist within the walls of NFL
boardrooms, but is embedded into the league's fabric: Racial prejudice
and stereotyping.

Today, Peyton Hillis, the Cleveland Browns
most impressive running back since Kevin Mack, is the latest "victim"
of the NFL's color cycle. Hillis isn't the run of the mill 6-foot-2,
250-pound chocolate bruiser. He's an Arkansas born-and-raised white guy.
Don't you remember the white running back who starred at the University
of Arkansas before Darren McFadden and Felix Jones (both African-Americans) pushed him off the depth chart? What about the guy who played for the Broncos and averaged 5 yards per carry before being traded to the Browns? None of this rings a bell?

I'm sure, too, that you are familiar with the names Knowshon Moreno and Correll Buckhalter.
These two bronzed tailbacks are the guys Broncos coach Josh McDaniels
felt were better than Hillis. Buckhalter missed the 2002, 2004 and 2005
seasons with knee injuries. Apparently a white running back who
struggled because he was pigeon-holed as a fullback isn't as valued as a
black running back with multiple knee injuries. This is eerily similar
to the early years in the NFL when black players struggled with
typecasting, but kept their mouths shut for fear of being labeled a
"troublemaker."
"there is more written

fantastic article! i just wish it got more publicity. we need to highlight articles like these so that people that stumble upon CF can be exposed to them first. if people see that LeCharles Benttley, a black man with multiple pro bowls under his belt, is stating that there is in fact a form of racial discrimination againts white skill football players, they will have a hard time ignoring that idea. he makes great points about inferior backs that have been favored over Hillis, and he also does a great job of talking about the evolution of racial overtones in the NFL, without sounding like a conspiracy theorist.

i tip my hat to mr. Bentley.

You are right about that, Thrashen! This black mind is a terrible thing of waste. He probably saw that Hoge had a couple of seasons with over 1,000 yards from scrimmage and took that for rushing. Who knows what kind of minimalistic activity was going on in that brain. A lot of blacks throw out stats on black players that are way high and stats on Whites that are often way low. When you look into it you find that they have either misinterpreted the stats or are intentionally trying to mislead people by using the wrong numbers. In this case, whether it was an accident or not, the effect on the average DWF will be that the last 1,000 yard season by a White RB was 20 years ago, not 25, which might be enough to convince a few of those dimwitted souls that anti-white discrimination isn't real. I could be over-analyzing things and it wouldn't be the first time, but that is how I see it.

Although this Sharpton/Jackson/Farrakhan diciple is on the extreme end of stupidity and ignorance, he's not too far from the standard DWF baseline of thinking. A high percentage of DWF's only watch the NFL, and only pay passing interest to the college game, primarily focused on teams highlighted by the news services. As a result, like this guy, black supremacy in sports is a true as gravity or the sun shining. Players like Peyton Hillis are an anomoly, an abberation. They pay no attention to any college play besides the touted programs, and have no idea what happens on the high school level at all. The only HS tidbits that they see are whatever Yahoo or MSN post on the front page, which always features an all-black Florida team or somesuch. More base essence of the caste system.

Let us keep this perspective the caste system is a product of liberalism of whites and jews directed at destroying the white race and the countries and civilizations it produced. Blacks are merely the step and fetchits reading from a script produced by the "liberals."

If anyone doubts my first sentence I can quote the UN convention on Genocide and how it applies to what is being done to us by our supposed "leaders."

another article on http://thebiglead.com/index.php/2010/11/30/peyton-hillis-is-like-other-really-good-running-backs-who-are-not-white/

alien-vs-peyton-hillis.jpg


Warrick Dunn was the latest to compare Peyton Hillis to Mike Alstott on ESPN's First Take this morning, referring to him as a ‘Junior Mike Alstott.' Enough already. Peyton Hillis is way, way, way better than the most overrated player in football.

Mike Alstott maxed out at 10 rushing touchdowns (Hillis already has 11), never had a 1,000 yard rushing season, and averaged under 4.0 yards per carry every season except for one, all while getting selected for pro bowls as a "fullback"Â￾ despite most of his carries coming out of a single back set. The only reason people compare the two is because they are both big and white, but that is about where the comparison ends.

Hillis is on pace for over 1,900 yards from scrimmage, 19 touchdowns, and 65 receptions. He is versatile, can run people over or run around them, and is so much better than Mike Alstott ever was. The other comparison is to John Riggins. While they are similar size-wise, Hillis is far more utilized as a receiver, and Riggins career high in yards from scrimmage was 1,376 in 1983 (all but 29 of those were rushing yards). Hillis will surpass that by about the 2nd quarter on Sunday. Obviously, Riggins had many great seasons and I'm not comparing what Hillis has done in a part of a season. I'm only pointing out that stylistically, they are not very similar in how they are getting yards.

A couple of weeks ago, I made a comment that Peyton Hillis reminded me of a young Stephen Davis, a comparison that probably wouldn't occur to you unless you can look beyond the color of skin. Hillis and Davis are similar in size, and both were converted fullbacks from SEC schools who broke out in a huge way in their third season in the league. I whipped up a quick similarity score for Hillis' prorated to 16 games numbers for this year (290 rushes, 1313 yards, 16 rush tds, 67 rec, 602 rec yds, 3 rec tds) by comparing his season to all other backs since 1970, based on his size, plus the rushing and receiving categories (attempts, yards, touchdowns). Lo and behold, Stephen Davis shows up highly on the list for his 2000 season. Fred Taylor (1998) is the most comparable player to Hillis based on size and production. Noticeably absent from the list: Mike Alstott.

backrow, several posts back I pondered the resemblance of Hillis with the "Predator" creature. Thanks for posting the comparison. I knew I was not drunk when I first brought it up. The resemblance with that bulldog face mask and physic is uncanny.

Also, been wondering if Peyton breaks a 1000 yards this weekend, will the football shows and talking heads bring up the fact its been 25 yrs since a white man ran for the 1000 yards. And why it took so long?

I have no idea if they will or not. But based on all the articles about him and I starting to lean towards...they will bring it up.

Thanks much for that Don,

It's my opinion that the worst enemy blacks have isn't us or White people in general, or anyone else. It's their inability to see things through. They can start a project, such as becoming an NFL QB, but can't follow through on all the nuances that separate a run of the mill QB from a great one. This includes on and off the field. They don't understand that if they get into trouble off the field and because of that trouble, they can't play, it's the same as not showing up for work. At some point, they all will have some sort of issue to overcome (just like everyone else in life) and won't be able to. It never fails.

Unfortuneately, race is everything to them. It enters into everything they do, from brushing their teeth in the morning to football, to deciding what pair of trousers to wear each day. Certainly, with thinking like this, it's impossible to succeed in anything you may try in life.

Years and years ago, when I was still a bit liberal, Malcolm X came to the city to deliver a speech in a Harlem mosque. The blacks wanted to make a big deal of it and somehow got hold of a limo owned by a black limosine service to pick him up at Kennedy airport. Before they left the airport, they got pulled over by the cops for not having the correct plates on the car. Of course, they screamed bloody murder that it was all racist, but I thought at the time, how could they have done such a thing as to not have the correct plates on the car? In the paper, it showed Malcolm X standing alongside the car like a fool out on the road. That was one of the first times I thought anything about blacks and just what was their problem. Their problem is they don't want to put in proper effort into anything they do in life. It's too bad, because some of them have talent, but because of all the other baggage they always carry around with them, those talents seldom come to the fore.

Tom Iron...



Excellent post, Tom. Blacks are their own worst enemy.

I actually doubt it. There is no meat to the rumor, and that is all that it is. It looks to be more of a grabbing at straws by DWFs to try to figure out why McDaniels would not use Hillis rather than to look the caste reason in the face. And "word on the streets" and "common knowledge around the Broncos organization" means nothing. Witnesses, anyone? It's the same as saying "Experts say" when none are cited.
