Him, Scott Hansen, Andrew Siciliano, beta peas in a pod at the NFL Network. They even look the part, like they're distantly related to Howdy Doody and Alfred E. Neuman.

I cringe when I see those commercials for that Good Morning Football show - it pisses me off on several levels - one of them being that beta queer white clown hosts.

This is good news for Jake Kumerow, who caught another TD last night as the ridiculously named "Equanimeous" is one of his main competitors for regular season playing time:

Second-year WR Equanimeous St. Brown reportedly left the stadium in a walking boot and crutches.

As we know, Weenieworld is rigorously unbiased in its evaluations of players.

For example, the following two headlines: "Efficient Night for Daniel Jones": "New York Giants QB Daniel Jones completed nine of his 11 pass attempts for 141 yards in a 25-23 preseason win over the Cincinnati Bengals Thursday, Aug. 22."

Then there's this one: "Sony Michel Dazzles on 10 Carries vs. Panthers": "Sony Michel rushed 10 times for 36 yards in New England's Week 3 preseason contest against the Panthers."

Nothing to see here, move along.

I am not going to dump on Dwayne Haskins and I suspect he will turn out to be at worst a serviceable pro. But what the draft gurus missed in evaluating Daniel Jones is how bad his supporting cast was at Duke. And we all know the supporting cast(e) at Ohio State is the cream of the crop. Same deal with Josh Allen at Wyoming. The receivers he worked with his last year there were horrible.

Same goes for Patrick Laird who I think we all agree deserves a place on the 53 man roster. That Cal offense he played for last season was one of the worst when it comes to talent level.

In the case of Jones and Laird we see their natural talent shine through once they are assimilated in with better talent. Hard to play consistently well when your teammates are below mediocre talents.

Speaking of Miami I agree with Don that TE Gesicki was woefully used last year by the "genius" Adam Gase. The best pure athlete playing TE in the NFL. It does not take a brain surgeon to figure out that it would be a good idea to get him more involved.

Miami has a tough opening schedule so they may not start Rosen. His slight frame is still a concern but last night he demonstrated better athleticism than people expect and it will be very interesting to see if Arizona chokes on the big one if they find out a couple of years down the road they blew it. Miami also has two young white LBs I hope make the roster.

As one might expect I have been following the Troy Apke saga closely this preseason. The local media wants him out of town. They can't stop bitching about him and here we see the caste media at it's worst. If they nitpicked at every black DB the way they do with Troy I would estimate they would have to discontinue football altogether for lack of defensive backs on rosters. But these prissy pricks must find the idea of having the best athlete in the NFL, who is white, an insult to their caste thinking.

Apke in my estimation is the best pure athlete in all of football. A little raw here and there but that is the case for 80% of young NFL players. Last night Troy recovered a fumble on a punt and put the Redskins in great field position. Also was in on a couple of tackles and I see no reason on earth why the Redskins should not place him on the 53 man roster. His upside is enormous and at the worst he should be a stellar special teams player with his speed and agility.

Just browsing the NFL.com website and saw a summary section about last night's games here. It's not too horribly caste-heavy at least not more than normal for the most part. The writeup on Trace McSorley's performance was good except that he was referred to as diminutive. 6' and over 200 pounds is not "diminutive" in my book. What does that make Kyler Murray who by this definition would be "tiny smallfry".

Murray the Minnow. Although even I have to admit Andy Isabella, who is a clear favorite of mine, seems a bit shrimp like out there too. Ha.

As for McSorley not every NFL QB fits the so called standard NFL profile. Of course he can't fire the ball like Josh Allen who by the way some are comparing to Cam Newton. Let me clear this up. Yes they are both terrific running QBs and Newton can fling it (usually inaccurately ha). But Newton could never fire a ball as fast and as deep as Josh.

But it seems to me Trace should not only make the roster but leapfrog his third QB spot and rightfully should be in a battle to start for the Ravens. If he was black I think that would be the case. What Trace lacks in pure arm strength he makes up for in anticipation and real football smarts, tools he demonstrated in his long and illustrious career at Penn State And we all know he is a top flight athlete and runner. Football isn't just about measurables. Often cerebral players like Trace more than make up for so called "deficiencies" with their heads. He is proving it on the biggest stage.

Before the draft it was hard to imagine Bucs head coach Bruce Arians coaching a team that wasn't pure down the line caste. But with the draft and bringing in some white talent cautious hope started to emerge.

Sadly things have not gone well and not all of it is on Arians this time. Injuries have hampered progress. OLB Anthony Nelson appears to be in injury limbo land and probably won't play tonight against the Browns. All purpose QB Nick Fitzgerald seems to be nursing an injury too and I don't think he has played at all this preseason? They will surely not place him on the 53 man roster at this point.

The most important draft pick, speedster deluxe WR Scott Miller #10, has been sidelined with a dreaded hamstring issue and has fallen behind on the depth chart and is precariously close to missing out on the 53 man roster. As it is I am not certain WR Justin Watson is a lock either.

All that post draft optimism seems to be melting away. That certain feeling of dread is worming it's way into my body.

Word is Miller will be making his debut tonight and it will be televised on the NFL network at 7:30 EST. In a fair world he shouldn't be punished for being injured and surely he is more talented than the mediocre non starting black WRs that they are considering keeping on the 53 man roster ahead of him.

The hope here is Miller does something positive tonight to help clear the Bucs cluttered minds. Here is an explosive playmaker that can run by defenses in the blink of an eye. Miller is an ultra important figure here at CF and if it means not keeping a 4th (white) TE so be it. Who the hell keeps a 4th TE anyway. Jackass operation. But I'm hoping Scott gets a chance to strut his stuff.

I agree shadowlight and hope Scott Miller turns on the jets and puts on a show. I want to see "Miller Time" tonight.

Also looking forward to the Bills vs Lions. Alot of white talent all over the field and I hoping Zach Zenner can have a good game.

Let's hope so:

3 unheralded Dolphins who will make team after 22-7 win over Jags

RB Patrick Laird
Laird ran hard for the second consecutive week and once again found the end zone against the Jaguars. Laird’s burst is notable, especially late in games when he’s playing against other second string and reserve players.

There’s a confidence to his rushing this preseason — he knows where he’s supposed to go and he trusts his line is going to win him gaps. With 101 yards on 19 carries between Miami’s three games, Laird has found room to run where others have struggled.

Consider him RB3 on this roster behind Ballage and Drake.

Zenner with 4 carries for 21 yards. Over 5 yards a carry but he got the least opportunies to run the ball. He is never gonna be allowed to be a star there! :(

Im not as pessimistic as you but I agree, Arians is not somebody I have faith in! Its such a shame too because Jason Licht is the closest thing we have to /our guy in all NFL front offices!

Patrick Laird is more similar to McCaffrey and Burkhead than Hillis. Look at this pic from college. He is shredded. Even like Zach Zenner.

I closely watched the Tampa Bay game closely last night. The Bucs media is on the fence as to who will make the final roster cuts for the wide receivers.

I am on no fence. I saw what I needed to see and it is rather simple. Both Scott Miller and Justin Watson should make the roster and if they don't I think all hell should break lose.

Forget that four TE crap which they have bandied about which might cut the receiver core down to 5. You have OJ Howard, Cameron Brate and Tanner Hudson. No more. Foolish to even consider it.

WR starters include Mike Evans and Chris Godwin (who by the way is still unproven).

First line back ups or third starters should include Justin Watson and Scott Miller.

Beneath them they have to choose two among three mediocre players in Bobo ( or is it Bozo) Wilson, Anthony Johnson or Breshard Perrimen.

It was obvious that Watson is more polished than these bottom three and that Miller is easily one of the most explosive players in the NFL. You could see his speed and it was very noticeable in just a few plays. Game changer if given a chance.

Bobo Wilson is a 4.57 sub talent who won't make any impact on an NFL team. Hustles and tries but lacks the raw talent. Practice squad fodder.

Perriman has been around a few years and is essentially a half trick pony. He is a track athlete who can run fast down the field. And nothing else. Oh you mean you are supposed to run a route to get open or actually catch the ball. Forget it. Not a football player. Get lost.

Johnson looked clueless out there. Again straight line patterns into limbo land. Racked up big college numbers against all black pansy defenses in college.

White Spencer Schnell showed up big in the opener but they made sure not to allow him to build upon it. His only hope is the practice squad. He showed more than the three bums above.

It would be a disgrace if either Miller or Watson gets bumped by one of these black bums. Arians will go down in history as a terminal caste fraud if he messes this up.

Switching to the Bills/Lions game. TJ Hockenson hauled in 3 passes for 59 yards. No doubt about it. A star in the making.

Sadly WR David Sills won't make the 53 man roster. Will they "develop" him on the practice squad? They put him in with the bum squad a clear sign they have no interest in him. I can't figure it out except some teams don't like to bother with white UDFAs who play a skill position.

He has too much talent to be buried at this point but so far his journey from not being drafted and now this has been a disappointment. Don't give up.

Chad Kelly getting the start over the black quarterback Walker. Overrated Brissett is not playing due to the situation with Luck. Looks to be off to a hot start. Would love to see Walker get bumped from the roster.

Kelly is a bonehead but has amazingly survived his shenanigans off the field and has a chance to redeem himself. It is mind blowing how the league has just blown off Manziel though. He should be a 2nd string QB/fringe starter if all of his past idiocy is behind him.

Nall with two carries for 73 yards so far. I wonder what Rodent Nagy's excuse will be this year if he gets cut. A 69 yard run against 1st/2nd team NFL defenders would make it seem he has the speed to play at the NFL level if we are playing by caste system rules.

Damn you just beat me to it. I hope they are just rumors.

Just glad to have someone here to commiserate with. I really did not like the Colts outside of Luck so the sting isn't that bad. Their GM has done nothing but blacken that team up - a far cry from the heyday of Polian/Manning.

Luck was a rare talent though - it's terrible news in that regard. The good news I suppose is the Colts will look like an HBCU this year and be mediocre.

Well I just hope they play well enough for Kelly if he gets a shot at starting. Other than that, with brisett at helm, they can sink for all I care.

I was out last night, but checking stats....
Excited to see Nall rip another long one....
Of coarse, the few articles still think he can make it as a possible fullb1ck.
The older I get, the more vocal I’ve become about diversity, or forced diversity as the new America has become.....
I could go on a two paragraph rant, but when it comes to diversity, it doesn’t apply to sports.....it’s an anti white left wing that moves this dial.....
There is no other country in our history that would be happy with minorities taking over.
Some Euro nations are getting over run by muslims.
Do the people really want that ****? ....No
It’s not as much racist as it is being proud of your heritage and customs.....
We’ve always been 75+% white, 10-15%black, etc....
Politicians openly rip on white America for being afraid of the browning of the country.
It’s less about color and more about actions for me....
Rap music, saggy shorts, poor work ethic...
Sorry, that’s enough ranting

My fab four update: These are players who were being ignored pre draft but are top flight athletes with tremendous speed.

WR Scott Miller--I have spoken at length on him and it would be a criminal offense if he does not make the Bucs 53 man roster.

KR/PR Michael Walker-- I simply don't know if Walker will turn into a reliable receiver but I do know he is tailor made to return kicks in the NFL. I suspect the Jags like so many other idiot teams underrate having smart skilled return men so I would be surprised if Walker makes the 53 man roster.

LB Cole Holcomb--Easily one of the most athletic, instinctual and fast LBs in the draft it looks like at this point he will make the Washington 53 man roster. But I won't fully buy into that until it becomes official.

FS Chris Johnson--Bouncing between the Florida- Miami game and the Texans- Cowboys last night I noticed that Chris Johnson played most of the game. Which is very unusual
for any player in preseason. In fact that was the sole reason I kept an eye on the preseason blowout. To say I was impressed is an understatement. Probably the best pure athlete on the team, Lithe, long and fluidly athletic Johnson harkens back to the 70's when teams often placed great white athletes at free safety like Nolan Cromwell.

His superb range and great speed was evident on several long passes where he was in position to break up the plays. Not only should Johnson make the 53 man roster he looks like he should be starting. Word on his status is he won't make the cut but after last night's game I would hope reason prevails and the Texans do the right thing and place this outstanding athlete on their roster.

Crissie Collinsworth is in mid-season form. He just said during the Steelers-Titans game that the girls on the U.S. women's soccer team "are the greatest athletes in the world," perhaps his biggest whopper since he said Donovan McNabb could throw 80 yard passes from his knees with just the flick of his wrist.
