It’s so ingrained into the programming of the DWF that they don’t event think to question it.

The football magazine I bought describes Cominskey as "a former Falcons bust who became the best who became the best Lions defensive lineman not named Aiden." So it looks like his career is on something of an upswing after serving his racial apprenticeship in Atlanta. Then again looks like he's on a year by year basis so you never know.

Just saw Adam Humphries return a kickoff for the Texans. Thought his NFL career was over, but then again if he's been reduced to returning kicks in the fourth quarter of preseason games for Houston, his career is just about over.

Humphries' big mistake was not signing with the Patriots when they were pursuing him after his breakthrough season in Tampa. That was the last time The Genius had interest in a White receiver after so many played key roles in building and maintaining New England's dynasty.

WR Steven Sims with a drop - ball looked to travel between his hands and hit him in the facemask.

They always sign for "more money" rather than the team which would give them more playing time and opportunity, which would eventually result in more money.

Very true but in his defense our guys don't get the chance to become stars because of limited playing time on most teams. So because of
this I can understand why many of them would sign on a poor team to maximize their earnings incase they might get cut. I would have also
preferred he signed with the Patriots but I can see why the kid went for the money. Our guys have such a small window of time to succeed.

Anyone know Evan Hull's background? Both his parents are White but he looks mixed. Maybe he was adopted. He looks White on TV wearing his Colts uniform.

These are his parents:

@Don Wassall - he's not White.

Great to see Breshad Perriman still in the league...the Colts are the 5th (6th if you count the two different stints with the Bucs) to try and mine for that unattained upside!

Interesting on Hull!

DB Trevor Denbow making his case to make the Colts Roster....Sack & nice pass break up.

Guess DB Clayton Fejedelem is done ?? Free Agent or did he retire?? Walk healthy from the game with a nice nest egg for his family at age 30.

Glad to hear Denbow is making an impact. I believe Fejedelem is a free agent. Glad he carved out a nice career for himself. He never really received a fair shot to be a full time DB and was of course relegated to special teams. At least he made some money and stayed in the league long enough to get onto their medical/retirement plans.

Scrub WR David Moore for the Bucs just dropped a perfect pass by Kyle Trask.

I know he's not White, I asked if anyone knows his background as he has White parents.

Why didn't the Bills play Andy Isabella today? I've looked at alot of articles. Some say he is about to be cut despite a good preseason
performance so far. Other articles say he is climbing the depth chart and has a chance to make the team. With the lame stream media
you don't know what to believe. Not seeing him on the field today is scaring me though as the worst often happens to our guys!

Hope to see him with still almost a half of football to go.

Isabella is playing. He returned kickoffs in the first half and has seen the field some as a receiver. The game is still early in the second half and Isabella is still playing.

Thanks. Don't have it on my channels but I've been checking the box score for receiving yards. Was hoping he would shine today!

Isabella just had an 18 yard catch and run. Kincaid was 3/45 while Josh Allen was in. But the Steelers are totally dominating the game, leading 24-0 and just now the super rookie Nick Herbig forced a fumble which was recovered by Tanner Muse. Pat Friermuth scored a TD in the first quarter on a beautiful throw by Pickett.

I've said it before but he Steelers have really whitened up. Very nice to see and yes it sounds like they are dominating this game.

Not necessarily. Holcomb is replacing Spillane and there are no other new White starters. As has been mentioned many times, preseason games tend to have more White guys playing than regular season games. Expect the Steelers to have their usual five White starters.

Yes, they are dominating this meaningless game. But if they play Buffalo during the season it'd be a big upset if the Bills didn't win.

I think one of the CF Write-ups went somewhat in depth on his background. Can't recall the specifics but I believe his mom and step dad raised him - black father disappeared (surprise!)

He's definitely light skinned, seems like a quarter black at most Maybe an absentee Black father and a White baby momma who gave him up for adoption. But in his uniform a lot of DWFs will probably think he's White.

Interesting to see the Colts decide to sit Anthony Richardson after anointing him the starter. This comes a few weeks after Irsay stated that Richardson needed to get in game experience.

Looks like Tyson Bagent played well for the Bears.

Watching some of the Pats - Packers - o-line doesn't look great for New England. Hopefully they can figure it out for Mac Jones.

Well it looks like he got playing time and carries before Jake Funk so we can confirm the one drop rule applies!

Zach Wilson had a nice long run earlier in the TB-Jets game. So far he has had a solid preseason - rooting for him to learn under Rodgers. Our guys don't seem to get into this situation often.

Ha ha, I noticed Funk playing special teams, unfortunately I think he's screwed. Hope he enjoyed his hot gf and his 15 minutes of fame while it lasted.

Gunner has 5 catches for the Steelers, but is in a battle to make the final 53. Pitt added Allen Robinson during the offseason, who isn't nearly what he used to be but is still likely to make the team, and Calvin Austin is basically a black clone of Gunner who was drafted last year but missed the season because of injury. I'd say Gunner's chances are 50-50 at best.

Austin has made some plays this preseason as well - the big TD last week and a good punt return tonight. Agree with you on Gunner O.

Pickett's TD throw to Freiermuth was really nice. Looking forward to big things from them both this season.
