Arizona is probalby one of the worst defenses in the country. I actually think Joe Flacco's performance against Pittsburg was more impressive.

I'm not a fan of Al Michaels -- who is a subtle Cultural Marxist ala Chris Berman and seemingly and sadly every member of the Tribe -- but he appears to dislike gay boy Crissie Collinsworth, with which I am totally in agreement.

Did I just see 8 White starters on offense for Dallas? That's almost NE/GB territory. And with NYJ's 3 Whites on defense, that's a whopping 50% of all the starters on the field on that first series. Did not see that one coming.

I'm glad with you guys about Grossman, but Fitzpatrick's day made me happier. I'm glad Gailey believed in that guy, because not many others did.

Yes you did! I just might have to break out the Staubach jersey!

Yes - 8 whites. For the Cowboys! That is a long way from the black 90s.

The Skins started 7 (as did the Giants). Even the Jets started 6 palefaces. '

This is a much brighter year than last year (so far).

Great week so far. The most racist teams (Steelers, Bucs and Seahawks) lost, all the black quarterbacks except Vick lost (and even the Eagles have lots of white starters this year).

The two most pro-white teams (Houston and Green Bay) won and the Pats will likely win tomorrow.

White defensive players have been awesome, as usual. A bad week for White receivers, but there will be better weeks to come, though Amendola's injury really hurts.

The Colts look like an instant bottom feeder, just verifies my belief that Peyton Manning is the best football player of all time.

I just saw a comment at the Pro Football Research Assoc. Forum where somebody wrote that the Colts should sign David Garrard "as soon as possible."

I missed the starters for Cowboys offense. Outside of the four on O-line, Romo, and Witten who were the other two?

HAHAHAHA that's a funny one! Someone on Cowturd's show mentioned that Indy should try to pry the rights to Carson Palmer from Cincy, that makes a whole lot more sense.

I have mixed emotions about the week so far. The losses of Walter and Amendola are disastrous for the gradual building up of a core of solid white WR's. They represent such a tiny beachhead, that losing any key member of that valuable contingent of white players is troubling. Also, Luis Castillo, a white player of perhaps Cuban heritage, who has been a Chargers mainstay, has been lost for the year.
On the positive side, the Steelers and Bucaneers lost, and the Bucaneers loss was the type of game they would have won last year. Even the Bears victory wasn't as depressing as it could have been, with Sanzenbacher actually making a catch, and Reed seeing some action on defense. The Giants Redskins game was a good example of some positive trends in the NFL. White players had important roles on defense for both teams, with whites making sacks, interceptions and tackles. Late round draft picks like Sash and Neil, undrafted players like Trattou, and higher drafted players like Kerrigan all were part of the action for teams that in recent years haven't had many whites doing much on defense.
Also, some close games went to the whiter teams, like Detroit over Tampa, Green Bay over New Orleans and Arizona over Carolina (of course Arizona is just a tiny bit whiter, but because of the Newton factor, an Arizona victory was important).

Tony Dungy was slapped around by his co-hosts, he talked how impressed he was with Filthadelphia. Then they mentioned he was impressed by Chicago and Washington. It seems like Dungy is the equivalent of the guy in your junior high that always wears the clothes of the defending champion and then dumps them in February when a new winner is crowned..:biggrin:

Sean Lee just returned an INT to the 1! Chris Collinsworth even praised Lee, saying his speed, athleticism, versitillity, and playmaking ability and said he's having a breakout game tonight for the Cowboys.

Witten is a monster. He's tearing it up so far. My favorite TE in the league for the last few years.

While there were a few positives in today's games, the "incredible" (and completely unanticipated, at least to me) success of Cam Newton in his NFL debut will remind us of Tiger Woods fever at its apex. It's going to be impossible to watch ESPN now, perhaps for the rest of this season. They will reference this game forever, no matter how poorly Newton plays (assuming he ever does play poorly). This game assures him of at least a decade as an uncontested starting QB. HOW did that happen? I watched some of the game (have DeAngelo in two fantasy leagues) and Newton passed at will, even though they didn't have a running game.

I fear Hillis is going to be in for a long year. Not only is he getting less touches, the new coaching staff is even more absurd in how they use him. They typically either run him straight ahead into a blubbery mass of sumos, or run him towards the much weaker right side of the line. Why no power sweeps to the left? Why no well designed runs off All-Pro left tackle Joe Thomas? Why do none of the screen passes find him wide open, like the fat turd Ray Rice always is? The tendency towards rotating Hardesty in too often was troubling, too. Mark my words- one big run, or even one halfway decent game, and the fans will be calling for him to start. And yes, the Evan Moore situation is ridiculous. The best WR on the team, continues to waste away as a backup TE to veteran hands of stoner Ben Watson. If I was an NFL coach, who had no legitimate WRs, and my biggest playmaker outside of Hillis was a former WR switched to TE, how would I resolve that issue? Yeah, I guess that's why I'm not an NFL coach.

It was gratifying to see the Steelers lose, but the Ravens aren't that much better. It was great to see Tampa Bay lose, but outside of Stafford and their backup TE Sheffler, the Lions are quite black. Btw, did you see that human china doll Stafford almost injured himself again? He threw a short TD pass, and without anyone touching him, appeared to do something to his leg, limping off the field. He's a great talent, but his propensity for injuries reminds me of Chris Chandler. And the Seahawks losing was nice, but again the 49ers are not really much better.

It will be interesting to see if Jeff Maehl is the WR who steps into the Texans rotation now that Walter is out. If not, it's just another case of blatant discrimination. And how good must Sanzenbacher be to actually get to catch a pass in a regular season game for Lovie's team? Too bad about Amendola- was poised for a big season, but once again too many of the rare white WRs who are allowed to play get injured and are forgotten. I hope I'm wrong, but if he's out for a long time, I predict it will be very hard for him to get back into any regular rotation. And where was Riley Cooper? You know, the guy even rotoworld and other fantasy sites were talking up as a sleeper? if Jason Avant being ahead of a phenomenal athlete like Cooper doesn't prove the existence of the Caste System, then nothing ever will.

If Shanahan can turn the Redskins around with Grossman or Beck at QB, Hightower at RB and Gaffney and Anthony Armstrong at WR, then he deserves to be called a genius. The DWFs love to pick on Doughty. It will be interesting to see how they react to his strong game. My guess is they'll ignore that and demand he be benched once the "real" athlete is able to play.

The Colts are pitiful to watch. And I will say it again- Pierre Garcon is perhaps the worst starting NFL WR I have ever seen. The team continues to pepper him with uncaught targets, meanwhile leaving one of the most talented wideouts in the league, Austin Collie, to fight for scraps. And if today's game was any indication, Dallas Clark might as well retire, or at least wait for Manning to come back. They basically used him to try and block Mario Williams for most of the game. Brilliant game plan, huh?

Let's hope that the Patriots utilize their white talent (Welker, Woodhead, Gronkowski) tomorrow night, and not try to force the ball to Ocho and Branch. With the Colts looking so bad, the Pats are clearly the offense to root for.

Okay, enough ranting.

Good rant Bigunreal! Tommorrow night will be the first time in 25 years that purposely sit down to watch Monday Night Football. The main reason should be obvious......Danny Woodhead and the other White Stars. Go Pats!

Tony Romo is the most overrated player in the NFL, behind only Reggie Bush. Both John Kitna and Steve Magee had better preseasons, but Jerry Jones won't bench Romo because he wants to please the Latino Community.

Michael Vick is the most overrated human in the NFL.
Was whoever was behind McNabb (Webb?) supposed to start tonight?
I think Romo is white.

When one looks at a situation like the "performance" of the Rams' today.. the reality sets-in that the MSM overrated them because they love Bradford. That's right, the same media that still puts "question marks" over the head of Joe Flacco has annointed Bradford and his team (for ethnic reasons).

I'm not saying that St. Louis doesn't have a chance at winning their (woeful) division, but that the MSM overrated them big-time. And, what's with the "Roger Saffold love?" This guy looked ordinary in his draft-highlights from a few years' ago. (Rookie) Robert Quinn looked rather ordinary, and he's not a large man, in his draft-highlights. I would call him a motor-guy, but hardly elite or over-flowing with natural athleticism.

The MSM doesn't really talk about things like "sumo-lines" (and the liability of having one).. but when they annoint St. Louis they are surely annointing everybody. St. Louis is still paying for bad drafting in the past of guys like Jason Smith, Jimmy Kennedy and Joe Klopfenstein. Chris Long was a reach, but is a solid contributor and wasn't the straw that broke the camel's back. It's just a pet peeve of mine how the media has been going St Louis St Louis St Louis!!.. and their basis for it lacks honesty and objectivity.

To me, the media hasn't only been saying they can win their division, but that they can make a "bigger splash" than that this year. I, for one, doubt it.

I believe Romo is one of the most overrated players out there, but I still put Vick at the top.

Those were a couple of very bad decisions by him, the fumble at the 1 yard line, plus the costly INT later in the game. Not to mention that other INT which Miles Austin bailed him out of and got a TD instead.

As for Newton's surprising performance, let's hope he gets back down to earth soon, or it will be a bit of a worst case scenario. Lost in all of this was a great game by Kevin Kolb, 18/27, 309 yard, 2 TDs. In fact, there were some great White QB performances this week, with Brees/Rodgers from Thursday, plus Rivers, Kolb, Cutler, Stafford, Grossman, Fitzpatrick, etc. White defensive players also had some solid performances today. The only downer was the lack of production from any White skill players on offense. Let's hope Woodhead and the Patriots do well tomorrow.

And I wouldn't worry too much about Hillis just yet. Only 6 RBs rushed for 100 yards, so it was no big deal. It's a bit unlucky that we finally get a starting White RB, and he ends up in a football hellhole like Cleveland, with questionable players around him and even more suspect coaching and play calling. Why couldn't he be in NE or GB, for instance?
