Yeah, 28 members on the site is a record from what I remember too!

A lot of the guests are search robots, so that's a little different. The increase in site traffic really is cool!

I wonder if the Chargers are missing Olshansky and Wilhelm right about now.

 

[whiteathlete33]

Rivers was the highest rated passer last season. In his three full seasons as a starter he has been very solid. He actually has HOF potential and could be as good as Brady or Manning! Edited by: whiteathlete33

My apologies backrow. My lack of time and admittedly concentration at times impedes me from doing so. Being a college kid has me accustomed to skimming and channel flipping, but I'll heed your advice and try to read up more thoughouly, thanks for the info. on Miller btw.

 

[Don Wassall]

When was Welker voted most overrated? I did a google search and all I came up with was the 2006 season. Guess who was voted by NFL players as the most overrrated? Both Eli and Peyton Manning, Brian Urlacher, and Ray Lewis.

The Sporting News asked some current and former players who the most over-rated WRs are, and two of the three "winners" were Welker and Kevin Curtis. It was discussed, I think, in the Sporting News thread eitherin Happy Hour or Media Racism.

 

[backrow]

they used to love to hate Wilhelm for some reason. i can't believe Eagles waived him just like that as well.

btw Zack Miller I, John Carlson, Greg Olsen... young white TEs are really coming out! and that's on top of already established and quite young Cooley, Scheffler, Shockey and Witten (only 27). not too bad!

Thanks for the info. The 2006 most overrated player I noticed online was from SI. I am not surprised Urlacher and Peyton Manning were voted as most overrated as they are in the top three at their positions. In Manning's case you could say he is the best current quarterback. Black players absolutely hate white stars who receive alot of attention.

 

[Don Wassall]

The Raiders are starting six white players. They're practically pro-white this season compared to the Redskins, Bears, Jets, Eagles, Cardinals, et al.

How about Mike "Dumbo the Elephant" Golic making fun of Eric Weddle getting knocked backwards a little bit while making a tough tackle on a 250 running back. Weddle already has 4 tackles and 1 assist just in the first quarter but Dumbo didn't see fit to mention that.

Just hearing the voices of "Mike and Mike" makes me nauseous.Edited by: Don Wassall

Carlson is going to be a star and I am very familiar with Olsen. He played right here in the north Jersey area for Wayne Hills. His father was his coach. Olsen is really a bulked up wide receiver with 4.5 speed.

 

[kre08]

Shoot Olsen ran a couple 4.4's at the combine. He might even be a 4.3 guy if he slimmed down to 205 or so.

Exactly. Alot of white tight ends could be receivers. Tony Scheffler, Shockey, Daniels, Olsen, Zach Miller, and Witten all have outstanding athletic ability. Take 30 lbs off of each of them and they have good speed for a tall wide receiver.

 

[kre08]

I'd of course love to see more star white wide receivers in the NFL than i would tight ends, but the one thing I love about having these numerous stud tight ends is that I can almost always flip on an NFL game for long enough and get to see one of these 255 lb. Viking descendents absolutely maul an afflete trying to take him down. Never ceases to put a smile on my face

Dwid,

I'm the guy who says these games are fixed. Hasn't won me a lot of friends here (or elsewhere), but I stand by my opinion.

Tonight's Patriots-Bills game was vintage "fix." A highly favored, long time successful team getting unexpectedly dominated at home by a squad everyone thought to be pretty woeful. Then, just when all seems lost, an amazing "fantastic finish" by the "chosen" team to eke out a victory. I've seen this script way too many times over the decades.

Fixed talk aside, I don't see how anyone can root for the Patriots now. Edelman, one of their most impressive young players in the preseason, wasn't even active. Why? Couldn't they have at least used him on kick returns? Instead, they entrust that to incredibly slow footed Kevin Faulk. The Pats' all black defense was absolutely horrid. They put on one of the most absurd displays of "tackling" I've ever seen. The only thing the giant sumos on the line could do was to hit Trent Edwards late. Vince Woolfork is perhaps the new champion of obesity in the NFL. His physical appearance is embarrassing. I'd love to watch a tape of exactly what he did during training camp. My bet is that he didn't do much without a fork in his hand.

The Patriots white offensive line was terrible, completely dominated by the Bills mostly white front. Light in particular was overmatched by the fantastic Aaron Schobel all night. That guy is one of the most impressive linemen in the league. And yes, it was nice to see the overhyped Joey Galloway be completely invisible throughout the game. Even more surprising was the lack of attention given to T.O. The announcers barely mentioned him.

Gruden is an awful Caste whore, almost as bad as Collingsworth. Listening to him for even a few minutes, you can see exactly why his teams were so unfriendly to whites.

 

[Westside]

Alert!!! J Russell just went down da Raidas have a chance to win.

 

[Westside]

He went back in actually threw a great pass, but our man Weddle laid an all time clean hit on the raida reciever and jarred it loose. Oops texted too soon, J Russel hit a reciever for 57 yards for a possible game winner. little 2 mins left.

 

[Westside]

Just as I suspected J Marc "just loses" came in an ultimately lost.

J Hester touched the ball once and got a 3 yard gain. For some reason LT sat out most of the game. Hopefully it will translate into more touches for Hester.

The Sporels guy is amazing.

 

[qj]

Ha, ha. Chargers came back to score on a nice drive led by Rivers which made the Raiders "just lose baby." Cameras then panned the ridiculous Raider DWF's in their goofy (Halloween) costumes. Yes, they were painted black, but they looked oh so blue.

 

[Westside]

Yeah, in addition to the DWFs I oberved alot of DMFs as well. DMF standing for Drunk Mexican Fans. There were some AAFs as well. AAF standing for African American Fans. They were not drunk though. Not many of the affelets kindred can afford 15 dollar beers.

 

[Kaptain]

When was Welker voted most overrated? I did a google search and all I came up with was the 2006 season.

I can't find the orginal Sports Illustrated article either, but it was mentioned on a couple of blogs. Apparently its in a 2009 SI article. You'll find the blogs with a google search.

 

[Tom Iron]

That rb for the Bills should have his pink slip by now.

Tom Iron...

You would think so, but the coach had him right back in there returning another kick. We don't want to injure his fragile ego, even though he cost the team a good win. That return (out of the end zone), struggle for an extra yard and subsequent fumble is the dumbest play of the week next to Love machine smith's fake punt in his own territory.

 

[whiteathlete33]

The current state of the NFL is the reason I now follow boxing so much. We have so many up and coming white fighters and current champions.

Anyways this is off subject but I have a question I hope someone can answer. I researched it myself but was unable to come up with the answer I wanted. Does anyone remember when Cam Cleeland was hazed? I remember him or his father mentioning it was racial. The other Saints that were hazed were Kyle Turley who I know is white, Jeff Danish, Chris Bordano and Andrew Mccolough. I am pretty sure all these players are white. The attackers were all blacks.Edited by: whiteathlete33

 

[backrow]

stats fully updated.

oh and here's a little something for a cheap laugh. from rotoworld:

Bills CB/KR Leodis McKelvin's front lawn was vandalized following his tide-turning kickoff fumble in Monday night's loss to New England.

An obscenity and the game score (25-24) appeared on McKelvin's lawn, but police gave no other details. McKelvin's decision to bring back the kick when he could've knelt in the end zone was especially poor because the Bills had their hands team on the field. Buffalo was winning, and he had no blockers.

[White Shogun]

From the Raiders game:

They announced that the coaching staff had such confidence in Jarmarcus Russell that they opened up 80% of the play book this year, up from (I think they said) 50% last year.

Is it customary for starting quarterbacks in their third year to be playing with less than 100% of the team's playbook accessible? Seems like in three years of playing professional football, after however many years of college ball, one would be able to grasp the most intricate of football play books.

And at what point does the quarterbacks inability to play with the entire playbook become a detriment to the team, overriding whatever athletic skills he brings to the game?

Tonight's Patriots-Bills game was vintage "fix."

I happen to believe Tom Brady is the most clutch QB that has ever played. He and Larry Bird share the same qualities. Give em the ball when the game is on the line and let em do their thing.

Was the Monday night game fixed? Did Brady know? Or was Tom Terrific just being Tom Terrific? Discuss.

FOXBORO, Mass. -- For a reason that even Tom Brady couldn't fathom, he entered the huddle in Monday night's season-opener against Buffalo down 11 with 5:32 left in the game and, eerily, predicted the future.

"Get your hats on,'' Brady said. "We're gonna score before the two-minute warning, get the ball back, then we're gonna score again and win this thing!''

New England -- maddeningly at times, ploddingly, using too much of the clock on five- and six-yard pass plays -- drove 81 yards to score on a Brady-to-Ben Watson touchdown pass to get within five ... with 2:06 left. They recovered a fumbled kickoff by the Bills, and scored the winner on another Brady-to-Watson touchdown with 50 seconds left, finishing off a scintillating 25-24 win (RECAP | BOX) in Brady's breathless return to football after 2008 knee surgery.

Brady could play 20 years in the NFL, and this game will go down as one of the five most memorable, Super Bowls included. It'll have to. After sputtering through five scoreless drives in his first seven possessions since shredding his knee on the same field 52 weeks earlier, Brady completed 11 of 13 passes for 112 yards and two touchdowns in five minutes. He targeted Randy Moss 16 times, completing 12. He targeted Wes Welker 16 times, completing 12. For the night, he was 39 of 53 for 378 yards, with the two touchdowns one interception -- a one-pawed miracle catch-and-touchdown-rumble by Bills defensive end Aaron Schobel.

Eerie. All of it. Why, Brady was asked leaving the stadium Monday night, did he say what he said in the huddle with 5:32 left? "I don't know,'' he said with a wide grin. "I just had a feeling.''

"He knew,'' said Moss, euphoric in the New England locker room. "He just knew. I'll prove it to you.'' With that, Moss called to center Dan Koppen. "Hey Kopes! C'mere.'' Koppen walked over. "What'd 12 say in the huddle with what, five-something left in the game?''

Said Koppen: "He said, 'We're gonna score before the two-minutes warning, we're gonna get the ball back somehow, and we're gonna win.'''

"See?'' Moss said. "He knew. When you got a guy like that, speaking like that, leading you like that, there ain't nothing for the other 10 of us to do but shut up and go out and make plays.''
