If it weren't for fantasy football, I would absolutely pay no attention to the NFL. It is a complete joke, and not just because it is becoming all-black. The level of play is terrible, and the "affletes" are virtually all incredibly overpaid, arrogant and ignorant clowns, who deserve no one's respect or attention. This season has started off especially bad, which explains why I'm in such a grumpy mood. Just consider what has transpired so far, after two games:
Some of the worst teams in the league, at least when analyzed logically, are 2-0. The Redskins, 49ers, Texans and Packers just aren't any good, but they are somehow undefeated. The only 2-0 team I'm happy for are the Lions, because of Martz (and his slightly better treatment of whites), although this is offset by my loathing for moron Matt Millen. The Texans' start is really hard to swallow. Gary Kubiak and the Texans' organization treated David Carr terribly. Carr was never given a chance to succeed, never given any weapons on offense, and was forced to play behind the worst offensive line, year after year, in the league. Now, suddenly, this same inept group, which couldn't give Carr 2 seconds to throw, is protecting Matt Schaub like their grandmother, and the ridiculous Texans' offense looks great. Guess who will be mentioned early and often during the Texans' sudden turnaround? Poor, pathetic David Carr, standing on the Carolina sidelines (while the likes of Tavarious Jackson are starting QBs in this league).
White skill position players continue to be discriminated against. Matt Jones is barely used in Jacksonville (man, I wanted Joey Harrington and Atlanta to beat them, so they'd start 0-2), and white-hating David Garrard is entrenched at QB. Speaking of Harrington, he will almost certainly be replaced as QB very soon by Byron Leftwich. The Falcons had earlier reported they had no interest in Leftwich, but the media kept pushing the "makes perfect sense" line; they simply can't understand how the legendary Lefwich wasn't gobbled up quickly by some happy team. Kevin Curtis is starting for a suddenly anemic offense, and his every move will be scrutinized, with the clear intent to put him in his "place," i.e., the 3rd WR slot. Kevin Walter is a starter in name only, as Matt Schaub barely knows he's on the field, and the future HOFer Jacoby Jones is ready to "realize his potential." I read on a fantasy site that the Bears will cut Mike Hass if they decide to pick up "another player." In other words, the Fred Biletnikoff winner is the absolute last man on the squad, to be replaced as soon as needed (and with the injuries in this league, that won't be long). I'm sure this makes Hass even more confident than he already is, as he struts his stuff as the team's never-used 5th WR. The Vince Young love just continues to grow. Just as we must always root against the Jaguars, we must always root against the Titans- every win by the team, no matter how inept Young is, will be because of him. Already, I have heard the same line echoed over and over by several different commentators- "you can't judge him on his stats, his stats may never be great, but he does things on the field that win games." Supposed "tough guy" Mike Ditka is totally in love with Vince Young. He was drooling over him, in the presence of his esteemed fellow talking heads Keyshawn Johnson and Emmitt Smith, during ESPN's Sunday pregame coverage. Trust me, folks, Ditka will never be the guy to speak about against the Caste System. It's lovely to see a nice, worthy guy like Mike Nolan rewarded, ala St. Joe Gibbs, with two completely unimpressive and undeserved victories. Remember, this is the out-front white-hater who made that vicious comment about not fielding "lily white character guys." His ridiculous 49ers, led by the likes of hands-of-stone Darrell Jackson and 8-on-his-Wonderlic Frank Gore, were the talk of the league even before this season. I guess it was the "lily white" comment that got the jock-sniffers excited about them. Shocker they appear to be making those prognostications look good. Then there are the Steelers- led to a 2-0 record by their deserving black coach Mike Tomlin. If this continues, look for a lot of love here, too. Tomlin was probably the most absurd NFL head coaching hire of all time. The Caste System has a strong stake in making this classic Affirmative Action hire look good.
If this seems to be a rambling rant, it is. I just think we're all insane, and I'm especially insane, to support this sport any longer, in any way. There is nothing good about it, to me, from the drunk white fans to the jock- sniffing "journalists," the white-hating coaches and front office people and the odious thugs on the field.
Okay, now I feel better.
