Larry Bird was the best IMO because of his scoring ability, clutch shooting prowess, killer instinct, ability to rebound & make key passes...and he didn't have the caste "god" status of Jordan (not the mega, massive pro-caste push/hype machine as Jordan). Bird was the best ever...period!Edited by: DixieDestroyer

Wow!  I hope he's got something left for his next fight. 

To put in into perspective, he's the same age Joe Louis was when he was knocked out by Marciano. Only Louis didn't have the injuries, or the four-year period of inactivity before the fight.

But then, Sam Peter is no Rocky Marciano, so I think Vitali's chances of winning are very good!Edited by: JD1986

i stumbled across this link while reading DraftDaddy. it recounts the phenomenal story of John Stearns, an incredible two-sport athlete for the University of Colorado.

this illustrates how incredible a white kid can become if he busts his butt and is given an opportunity.

some excerpts:

As a football player, Stearns' ferocious competitive nature and hard-hitting style made him a popular player among Buff fans, and a feared defensive presence among opposing teams. His tenacity and relentless pursuit earned him the nickname "Bad Dude" among fans and sports writers alike. During his tenure as a football player, Stearns was more than able to live up to the "Bad Dude" billing. An All-Big Eight selection as a senior in 1972 (the same year he was also named the team's MVP), Stearns set school records for interceptions (16), and interception return yardage (339). These records still stand today. At the time of his graduation, he also stood third all time for pass deflections with 18. In 1989, Stearns was named to the CU football "All Century Team."

...

When Stearns was not striking fear in opponents on the football field, he was dominating the baseball diamond. CU head baseball coach Irv Brown once described Stearns as, "the most exciting baseball player I have ever coached". Stearns' baseball career is full of outstanding accolades:

- 1973 All-American
- Two time All-Big Eight selection (1972, 1973)
- 1973 NCAA Home Run champion (15)
- 1972 Big-Eight batting champion (.492 average)

In addition to the numerous football and baseball accolades Stearns received for outstanding athletic performance while at CU, he was also honored for his success in the classroom. In 1973, Stearns was named the first ever winner of the "Dean Jacob Van Ek Award". The award is given annually to the football player who best exemplifies the spirit of academic and athletic excellence - and Stearns was the first recipient of this now prestigious recognition.

Stearns ascended into the major leagues quickly, and spent the next 11 years playing catcher for the Phillies and the New York Mets. Stearns played in 810 games in the majors, compiling a .260 average with 46 home runs, 312 RBI, 91 steals, and a .984 fielding percentage. Stearns was a four-time All-Star making the team in 1977, 1979, 1980 and 1982.

what a great example for white kids everywhere!

This probably doesn't count for much, but I saw three young black men at a gas station today, and all three were wearing basketball jerseys. One was wearing a Dwayne Wayde, but the other two were wearing Steve Nash and one was wearing Bill Lambeer of all people!

Every once in a while you see something cool like that, Giovani.

However most peculiar combination of all time goes to this one. I was driving down Broad Street (the "main drag" in Philadelphia) and saw an elderly black man walking down the street. Can you guess what he was wearing? A Jason Sehorn jersey. This is weird because:

-Giants shirt in Philly. Bad idea.
-Black man + white cornerback?
-Elderly?

Also used to see some Larry Bird shirts around my high school every once in a while. Some black guys can recognize talent!

I've noticed this phenomenon too: the black dude wearing the white athletes' jersey. Perhaps, a Chrebet or a Sehorn jersey - two white players at nearly all black positions-is considered rare and precious by the extension that those players are rare and precious in the predominantly black NFL. So, they're like gold and valued as such - and not because of black support of white athletes.

But any exposure is good exposure. Unfortunatley, though, owners haven't noticed - or just don't care- that Wayne Chrebet jersey sells off the chart. You'd think that might persuade some owners to field a few more whites at skill positions. <?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice" /><O:p></O:p>Edited by: Alpha Male

this was mentioned on another thread, but it deserves a spot here, too.

white London street baller Stuart Tanner embarrassed Devin Harris in a game of one-on-one in England recently. the video has over 3.5 million views on YouTube, and its popularity has inspired the negro harris to claim he was hustled by, among other things, being told Tanner was a "special olympics kid."

harris' lame excuses have been completely refuted by Tanner's brother. Tanner's brother does a good job of pointing out the ridiculousness of harris' comments, but he does grovel about how much better harris is than his brother and that Tanner would never be able to really compete with such a vastly superior player. ugh.

regardless, the reality is that an un-paid white dude in a v-neck sweater kicked an NBA player's ass on the court.

and that is always cool!

in a similar story to the one above, regular-looking white dude David Kalb destroyed "King" James in a nationally-sponsored game of horse competition.

as the video shows, Kalb, in his worn-out t-shirt completely annihilates lebron, who showed up in a stretch limo-SUV.

That Steinlager commercial is utterly fantastic as well as totally subversive.

I love the hell out of it!

i read a link about Missouri's superb tight end Chase Coffman, and i thought the message in it was spot on. in fact, i think if more white folks took its message to heart, in my opinion we'd be a lot better off.

Like father, like son
Missouri tight end lives Coffman Way.
By DAVE MATTER of the Tribune's staff
Published Thursday, October 23, 2008

Less than 48 hours after Missouri came stumbling home from Texas, the player least responsible for the Tigers' second consecutive loss did something no one expected. Tight end Chase Coffman stood up and spoke out.

Coffman's record-setting performance attracted a crowd of reporters Monday, but while his teammates mostly answered questions with blank stares, shrugged shoulders and empty clichés, Coffman used the opportunity to express some candid sounds of frustration.

"Yeah, we were definitely flat at the beginning of the game," he said, referring to Missouri's five-touchdown deficit that turned into a 56-31 defeat. "That's something you're always going to be disappointed with." Texas Coach "Mack Brown said it best before the game: 'If you can't get up for a game like this, you might as well just go home.' We just didn't show up in the first half."

As reporters huddled around the 6-foot-6 senior - OK, more like under him - Coffman's voice carried more bite than its usual sleepy tone.

"I think we need to do a better job as leaders of the team getting prepared and getting everybody else prepared," he said, "and letting them know we can't just show up and put up points."

It was the sort of message Paul Coffman has been nudging his son to deliver. In a phone interview yesterday, Paul Coffman, who spent 11 seasons playing tight end in the NFL, recalled a recent conversation his son had with former MU teammate Martin Rucker, a rookie tight end with the Cleveland Browns.

"T. Rucker has told him there are guys on the team in Cleveland who talk back to the coaches or who don't work hard in practice," Paul Coffman said from his home in Peculiar. "And Chase made the comment, 'Gosh, if that happened to me, I'd have to say something.'

"I think he's kind of seeing that he's got a platform, that he can stand up and say to somebody, 'Hey, you need to work harder or get more committed and not worry about where we're ranked or what awards we're going to win. Just play like we've done the last two years trying to build the program and get back to the things we do best.' "

"It's a learning process," Paul Coffman continued. "As big as these guys are, they're still kids. But they're learning how to be leaders. And sometimes, even though you've got talent, it goes back to the old saying, 'Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.' "

Call it the Coffman Way.

It took shape in the 1970s when Paul was a standout tight end on some horrendous Kansas State teams. He joined the program as a walk-on and left as an All-Big Eight player.

"When I was at K-State we were arguably the worst college football program in the United States. Every week we'd get beat 50-0," Paul said. "But you play football because you love the game."

In 1978, Paul caught the eye of a Green Bay assistant during a tryout for K-State teammate Gary Spani and later signed with the club as an undrafted free agent. He didn't catch a pass his rookie season but spent the next decade carving out a Pro Bowl career - without ever forgetting where he came from.

"Ken MacAffee was the No. 1 tight end taken that year," Paul Coffman said, referring to the seventh overall pick out of Notre Dame. "He ended up playing two years."

Early in his NFL career, as the Packers were routinely missing the playoffs, Paul was disgusted when teammates would sit out meaningless December games with minor injuries.

"I was like, 'What are you doing? Your ankle hurts so you're not going to play this week?' " Paul said. "I just couldn't believe that people weren't playing. You play because you love the game, not because you have a chance to go to the playoffs or you're going to make a lot of money or win a championship."

Along the way, Paul's oldest son inherited that same gene, that dogged revulsion for anything less than one's best effort, the Coffman Way. Sounds corny, but it's making an All-American of Missouri's leading career receiver.

Even when Missouri had no shot to rally Saturday night at Texas, there was Coffman snatching passes, bullying through Longhorns, fighting for extra yardage. On Missouri's last possession, when the outcome was all but finalized, Coffman weaved around a screen from the umpire, hurdled safety Nolan Brewster and lunged through a scrum of tacklers for a 31-yard gain, MU's longest play from scrimmage.

"It was amazing," tight ends coach Bruce Walker said. "That gets what we call the 'slow motion laser treatment' in our" meeting "room."

Playing with that sort of effort, when the score becomes irrelevant, Coffman attributes to his dad.

"That's what he's taught me," Coffman said. "If you're not playing to win, and you don't have a very good chance to win, you're still playing for your pride out there."

If any Tiger gets a free pass for the two-game losing streak, it's their hurdling tight end. In losses to Oklahoma State and Texas, Coffman established his career-high for receptions with an offense that's struggled to move the ball unless he and Jeremy Maclin are catching passes. With 12 catches at Texas, Coffman surpassed Rucker as Missouri's career leader, giving him 213 overall and putting him within reach of MU's trinity of receiving records. Coffman already holds the touchdown reception record (24) and needs 339 receiving yards to eclipse Justin Gage's career mark of 2,704.

Along with all the records, as No. 16 Missouri (5-2, 1-2 Big 12) prepares for Saturday's homecoming game against Colorado (4-3, 1-2), Coffman's found his voice, too.

"He's seen that talk can be cheap a lot of times," Paul Coffman said. "He's been reluctant to say anything because he knows there's a possibility" he "can make a mistake, too. But more and more, he's saying, 'Everybody makes mistakes, but at least I'm out there working hard and doing the extra things that need to be done.' "

I dont know how many of you will be with me on this one, but my favorite athlete of all times is Pistol Pete Maravich. My goodness he was good. He is the reason I picked up a basketball as a kid. He also sufferd, in my opinion, from extreme racism. I read his autobiogrphy, and two biography wrightings from 3rd parties. The black teamates he was forced to play with hated him as a rookie because of how much he got paid. There were times when he would be trapped in the corner, and them superior black athletes would actualy TURN THEIR BACKS ON HIM ,rather than come help their teamate. He got quite a few turnovers this way, and that is exactly what the jungle ballers wanted. For that white boy that was so painfully better than them to have sub par stats. Still he is one of the greatest. I Storngly recomend the biography called Maravich. As well as the one called The Pistol. If Peter Maravich would have been black he would have been treated so much better ,that he would be more respected than Air Jordan.&nbsp ; SomeQuotes about The Pistol- - - -Bob Dylon"He was somthing to see, mop top, flop sock ,holy terror of basketball, he could play blind". The Racist Kenny Smith "You know, I marveled at the skills of Jordan, Magic, Bird , Abdul-Jabar, The Stilt, Jerry West, Oscar, who were all maybe better basketball playersthan Pete, but none could reach those magical otherworldly qualitiesPistol did." Phil Jackson "Petes game was Lordly, inimitable, and he should be considerd the most skilled player ever". Pat Riley "He was the best ball handler any of us will ever see"Kobe Bryant " I learned all my tricks from Pistol" Magic Johnson " He was just the man. I remember sitting there shaking my head , and saying how did he do that" Isiah Thomas "Oh my, He did things that guys still today cant do. If he played today he would be a God." Heres to the most underated stepped on white athlete from the 70s. The timeless PISTOL PETE MARIVICH! I hope to meet this hero on the other side. Bless all my Caste Football Brethren.

I often attribute my useless skill of spinning a basketball on one finger to Pistol Pete.

Speaking of one-on-one basketball, sometime around the late 1970's the weekly televised NBA game featured, at halftime, a one-on-one showdown between NBA players taped sometime in advance. I believe the format was that each week a player would be eliminated and the winner would move on to the next round. Anyone with a little more clarity please jump in. I just remember Mike Newlin of the Houston Rockets as a very tough player to beat and giving everyone fits . A lot of water has gone under the bridge since then, so forgive my fuzziness. It could be the he won the whole shebang one year. I can't find information on the web concerning the these halftime contest.

I think it's been mentioned before, but
Stefan Holm's Ridiculous Plyo Training actually looks kind of weird, like Super Mario the way he bounces over those 6'6"[?] hurdles. As one of the YouTube comments puts it "looks like he typed in a cheat for high jumpin on a game or somthin ".Edited by: Observer

here's a pretty sweet video of Joe Calzaghe, complete with an original brit-sounding rap with pointed lyrics aimed at Hopkins and other Calzaghe-haters.

enjoy.

I loved C Darwin's link "best white history video ever" to School House Rock, though the sewing machine had several inventors that are not listed.

Oh wait, I checked(I worked for a sewing machine manufacturer that claims to be founded by the inventor) and the video had the earliest lock stitch sewing machine inventor. I was thinking of the overlock sewing machine. Edited by: Freedom

Simply magnificent.

Am I the only one who thinks the Zionists will bulldoze these monuments of perseverance and creativity when there isn't enough of us to fight for what's ours?

I think there are definitely similar goals when it comes to the Zionists and Mohammeden invaders. Two sides of the same coin if you ask me.

Great vids.

In the 100 years 1250 - 1350, France moved more stone building the great cathedrals than did Egypt in its entire milleniums of history in building the pyramids.
(Not sure if the numbers are quite right; writing from memory.)
