Pistol formation? You mean Nevada offense don't you? :grin:
Wes Welker the latest to pull the "aw-shucks-I'm-a-slow-white-boy" routine. You can check his twitter feed for the exact exchange but basically Dante Stallworth gave Wes Welker a nice compliment via twitter saying every team is looking for a Wes Welker these days and that Wes revolutionized the game. What was Wes's response (verbatim): "Haha! A short slow white guy? #not smart" Way to go Wes.
Hopefully that's sarcasm.. Wes punched a hole in his wall when he was not offered any scholarships on signing day in HS. You would think he'd know the deal
he mentioned his low ypc, but failed to mention that roughly half of his yards have come after the catch, which I am pretty sure is a recordhttp://www.coldhardfootballfacts.co...iggest-impact-pass-catcher-nfl-history/26211/
Welker the biggest impact pass catcher in NFL history
With 3 catches on Sunday, Wes Welker moves into 23rd place on the NFL's all-time receptions list, (821), passing the great Steve Largent. I'm glad Welker's moving up, albeit slowly, but I hate to see him pass Largent. I look forward to seeing him pass a lot of blacks on his way up the list.
He can join Jason Witten, number 19, with 853, as the only 2 white players in the top 20, if he get 30 more receptions before seasons end.
However, Manning needs to get him the ball more than 3 times a game!
Welker has said nothing about retiring but the Caste media keeps bringing it up, presumably because of his concussions. He's still a very effective receiver who is about to turn 33, which isn't old for a White receiver, especially one who wasn't used much his first few years in the league.
I haven't read of any inquiries asking Reggie Wayne if he's going to retire -- he's 2 1/2 years older than Welker and blew out his knee last season.
When the anti-White media starts badgering a White player about retiring, it's because they want him to retire. The biggest example is all the articles about how Austin Collie should quit, but none about black receivers who have had multiple concussions doing the same.
From weenieworld:
Wes Welker reiterated Thursday that he has no plans to retire if the Broncos win the Super Bowl. "Of course it would be a good way to end it, but I am still having fun," Welker said. "I am still enjoying the game. I feel good, and as long as I am out there having fun, I will continue to play." A pint-sized slot receiver going on 33 and coming off a concussion-marred season, no one would blame Welker for riding off into the sunset. The $6 million remaining on his contract is a powerful incentive to continue playing, however. Welker will likely give more serious thought to hanging it up in 2015, when he'll be back on the open market.
You will remember that media types were asking Brett Favre "When are you going to retire?" when he was 35.
I believe he was caught with speed, not PEDs, as in Meth.Welker suspended four games for PEDs........unreal
I'm as shocked as everyone at todays news," Welker said in an e-mail to The Denver Post. "I want to make one thing abundantly clear: I would NEVER knowingly take a substance to gain a competitive advantage in any way. Anyone who has ever played a down with me, lifted a weight with me, even eaten a meal with me, knows that I focus purely on what I put in my body and on the hard work I put in year round to perform at the highest levels year-in and year-out. [...]
"I have never been concerned with the leagues performance enhancing or drug abuse policies because under no scenario would they ever apply to me, but I now know, that (drug-policy procedures) are clearly flawed, and I will do everything in my power to ensure they are corrected, so other individuals and teams aren't negatively affected so rashly like this. [...]
Of all NFL players, I believe that Welker didn’t knowing ingest illegal drugs or PED’s, as he’s been clean his entire career and did everything the hard way. Also, can anyone here remember the last time a white receiver was busted for PED’s in the NFL? I can’t recall a single one. Since the 1990’s, the only whites to ever be suspended for drugs are: RB Travis Jervey, FS Matt Stevens, QB Jim Miller, LB Scott Shanle, OT John Welbourne, LB Gabe Miller, G Allen Barbre, P Brett Hartmann, LB Brian Cushing, OT Ryan Tucker, FB Luke Lawton, OT Luke Petitgout, QB Tim Couch, OG Matt Lehr, P Todd Sauerbrun, FB Rick Razzano, and WR Matt Jones.“I wouldn't have any idea where to get a Molly or what a Molly is,” he said. “That's a joke. I don't do marijuana, I don't do drugs. I don't do any drugs.”
