Man, that is awesome! Thanks for posting that. I didn't realize the resurgence of the white TE's, the ghosts of Dave Casper and Russ Francis, has been so complete. This is good.

I can't believe I am rooting for Baltimore now. The NFL has literally gone insane. Yet the Ravens, THE RAVENS!, are our best bet. Absolute insanity

Ravens coach, Jon Harbaugh, mentioned Jim Leonard after the game with glowing praise. Time will tell if Harbaugh keeps Leonard on board. All indications suggest that the Ravens' coaching staff likes Leonard and sees his contributions.

I'm hoping that Harbaugh will give white players a fair chance during his career, and not be another Billick.

I'd say around 75% white, with only CB being a "slight" black majority position. It has been so long now that most people have become like blind squirrels. If Peyton Hillis gets no carries next year they won't ask why and recall how dominant he was the last two games before his injury this year and how he ran for 5 YPC on the year and 5 TDs in only 3 1/2 games starting. I've already seen foolish media reports that Hillis is too slow to be a featured runner and fans posts calling him a short yardage/ 3rd down RB.

If Jim Leonhard gets benched or cut again after his brilliant play this year; the fans will say "well the coach always plays the best to win". They won't think about the fact that highly paid Landry might be a black primadonna demanding his job back as well as campaigning in the locker room for support and rattling team chemistry.

The Negro Football League should really be the Nordic Football League</span>. Since more White Americans are into the sport, more than any other than Baseball. BHO wants to make Basketball the new national past-time</span>.

Now that I think about it P-Nutlane might be right about the NFL being 65% white today in a fair world. Hispanics (most are Mestizo) are about 15% of the populous now, Blacks 13.5%, not sure about East Asians, but they've got to be at least 3%. Then there are Pacific Islanders who seem to love football. Whites are only 66% of the U.S populous now.

As I had stated before; if just between black and white I'd say the NFL should be around 75% white, 25% black; with those being a quarter black or more classified as black.

But with all the races combined I'd say 65-70% white, 20% black, 10-15% other (Hispanics and East Asians are smaller in stature; so would be noticeably represented less).Edited by: ToughJ.Riggins
