Wow, Chad Henne stole the show. Nearly a flawless performance.

Here we have a bunch of super wealthy whites, deciding to celebrate the "pride" in a people who aren't even a distinguishable race; "hispanic" is a term invented by hack politicians to create another special interest voting block. What is the connection between hispanics and the NFL? What is there to "celebrate?" You might as well hold an extravaganza to congratulate the numerous Eskimo punters in the league.
I didn't know Sanchez was a "full blooded Mexican," as one jock sniffer breathlessly informed us. I also thought Camarillo only had a small trace of "hispanic" in him, but then President Obama interrupted the game to tell us otherwise. Really, how do white people think this nonsense up and actually make it happen with a straight face? Is Hispanic History Month just around the corner? Every rational and semi- intelligent human being should despise political correctness.
How did Moreno win it? I didnt see him play in week 4 but his stats are mediocre. I did however see him this week and dont undertand how he is even considered as rookie of the week. His performance was mediocre. Most of his runs above 5 yards came in the wildcat (didn't someone say the wildcat came about to get the ball into Peyton's hands at Arkansas?, either way Hillis would be more effective running it)DixieDestroyer said:I'm glad a missed the game. I'm not sure how well I'd have stomached such blatant cultural Marxist propaganda.
***Ya'll vote for Austin (again) for NFL Rookie of the Week. "Latino" Sanchez has won it 3x & "afflete" YOshown Moreno won it last week.
Vote Collie.....NFL Rookie of the Week (5)
Full blooded Mexican? Is there such a thing? The Indios in the jungles of the south are the closest to that on the lower social end and the White elite that really run the country are the closest to that on the top end. The rest are a mongrel mix. I knew Camarillo wouldn't be white for long.....bigunreal said:Watching the hispanic hoopla on Monday Night Football reminds us once again of just how pathetic our nation has become.

To be honest they have in the past hated each other. This is all nonsense. Like others have stated this is a contrived "racial" group to create a voting block that has pull. Latino leaders the equivalent of Sharpton and Jackson lap this up because this gives them a reason to exist.Matra1 said:I know I shouldn't compare tackling in the NFL to rugby (where missed tackles are relatively rare) after all the cuts are sharper in the NFL and there are blockers but jeez some of the tackling I've seen this weekend would get you laughed off a rugby field. Even one of the commentators mentioned it earlier when the Jets were able to get a first down from a short pass yet there was a Dolphin right on the Jet receiver when as he caught it.
BTW they're really going overboard with this Hispanic* heritage stuff.
* Other than speaking Spanish what on earth do Cubans, Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, and people from Spain have in common? This seems to be a political term designed to unite them against whites in general.
Bad teams have contributed to many bad games this season. Six of 13 Sunday games in Week 5 were decided by 19 points or more. Seattle beat Jacksonville 41-0. The Vikings beat the Rams 38-10. And the Raiders proved once again they're basically a second bye on the schedule, losing 44-7 to the Giants in a game that hobbling Giants quarterback Eli Manning could afford to leave before halftime.
Even some of the close games were unwatchable. For example, in Buffalo, the Browns won 6-3 while completing two passes. Two.
Bad teams also create some bad divisions, which has led to one questionable division leader. San Francisco, which sits atop the NFC West, isn't a bad team, but how good can it be after getting whipped 45-10 by Atlanta at home!?
Garcia always stated his Irish ancestry while stating his great-grandfather was ethnic Mexican. I agree if he looked like Plunkett(aboriginal looking) the media would have tried to make him into an ethnic superhero. Really it's a tough spot for these guys of these ethnic backgrounds. They are young guys who might not be media savvy and they aren't looking to create waves before their careers take off. Maybe the worst situation was Bradford who while only 1/16th was asked to represent a tribe at national ceremony. Any Black athlete who was 1/16th White would be asked about his French/Irish ancestry....Don Wassall said:Seems like Sanchez has been forced into his role as "Mexican quarterback." I think he considers himself an American, and maybe a white one, and not some minority trail blazer. As Sport Historian has written about, Jim Plunkett and Tom Flores were treated by the media as white QBs and both are at least as "hispanic" looking as Sanchez. Jeff Garcia is always regarded as white, because he's so light skinned.ÂÂÂ
