    Baltimore Orioles--Whites Lead the Way

    As a serious baseball fan since the mid 80s, I am very pleased with what I see as the return of the white to prominence in Major League Baseball. For years, black players were drafted and handed major league jobs based on their "athletic tools". After years of failure by these black players...

    Johnny Quinn

    Green Bay signed the free agent wide receiver (6'0", 202 lbs) who played his college ball at North Texas. Quinn was a standout player at McKinney High School in Texas where he also excelled in track. He was signed in May 2007 as an undrafted free agent by Buffalo, but was later released.

    Chances of UDFA players making rosters?

    It may sound counter intuitive, but undrafted free agents signed by the league's better teams can be at an advantage. For example, I remember just a few years ago undrafted safety Will Demps earning a starting spot for the Ravens. The Ravens defense was so good at the time that the team could...

    GB Reaction to the Jordy Nelson Pick

    What bothers me as I read the national "draft report cards" for each team put out by the various media outlets is the continual barrage of comments regarding Green Bay's oversupply of wide receivers. It really ceases to amaze me that no one points to the fact that Green Bay's trio of wideouts...

    2007 Chargers

    For those of us who don't have a particular team that we root for, I would say San Diego should be a team we follow very closely. Two of our top-tier, elite, young Caste breakers (Weddle and Hester) were brought in after the team traded up to draft them. Plus, white corner Steven Gregory...

    same ole crap

    I can remember listening to a radio show here in the Washington DC area called "The Sports Reporters" probably about 5-6 years ago that featured John Riggins. At the time, Riggins would come on the show just one day each week for two hours and answer questions from the show's hosts as well as...

    Paul Smith, the Tulsa QB, remaining on the board is crazy. The man can play quarterback.

    From what Mike Mayock is saying, it sounds like Corey Lynch will be drafted soon.

    2008 NFL Draft Scorecard

    Van Slyke, Thomas Williams is black. He did look white in the photo I saw on the NFL Network. Brian Cushing will hopefully be a first round white linebacker from USC chosen in the 2009 draft.

    2008 NFL Draft Scorecard

    Seattle was in great need of a short yardage back last year. Owen is a good fit here, as all Seattle has done to improve the team's power running game this offseason has been to sign TJ Duckett.

    Well Mike, since I make sure that I limit my exposure to Cris Carter as much as possible (since he's proven to be a continued nuisance for a long time now), I probably won't be bashing him much in the future. Feel free to love the guy as much as you want, buddy.

    Carolina also signed Tyler Brayton, so we have some hope for the Panthers. I used to root for the Panthers like crazy when they were winning with Chad Cota, Kevin Greene, et al.

    Whichever teams get Schmitt or Hillis in the 5th will be getting two major steals.

    It's funny to listen to Cris Carter on ESPN bash the Viking wide receivers as he attempts to deflect criticism from Jackson. At least on the NFL Network Charles Davis is honest and impartial enough to say that Jackson had better prepare himself for the upcoming season as Booty presents a very...

    2008 NFL Draft Scorecard

    From SDBoltReport.com: San Diego filled its need for depth at running back and fullback with a single pick. The Chargers traded into the third round to tab LSU runner Jacob Hester, a do-it-all back who can run, block and catch. In exchange, San Diego shipped its fifth-round pick in 2008 and a...

    2008 NFL Draft Scorecard

    San Diego traded up to get Jacob, just like they did for Weddle last year. Weddle played a lot as a rookie, and will be a starter at safety this season. San Diego needs a runner like Hester, a back who has always shown a propensity to gain additional yardage after being hit. This is a...

    Patriots draft Kevin O'Connell who ran a 4.61 and is 6'5", 225 pounds. O'Connell is a great athlete who runs really well with the ball. Speculation on my part, but I'd love to see Belichick use him at WR. Drew Bennett was a QB at UCLA who made the move to receiver in the NFL, and...

    2008 NFL Draft Scorecard

    The Ravens have improved in regards to utilizing white players since the start of the decade. Kelly Gregg and Jarrett Johnson (who replaced Thomas when he went to NE) both were productive last year. And, Harbaugh should be a clear upgrade over Billick in terms of incorporating white players...
