Clinton Portis is hilarious. He claims the Redskin's latest run is the due to Santana Moss getting clipped. The Redskins can win if they shut down Shaun.
The Sean Taylor situation has concluded in my opinion. http://ourw.blogspot.com/2007/11/big-media-blew-it.html
He has been vindicated. Big Media blew it and judged incorrectly. There are so many articles about the positives of Sean. They feel guilty.
Big 10 football should be a lot better. There has been a lack of playmakers in the league and they were playing big business style of football. It's time to play google style and modernize. Rich and Ron will take it further and do what the Florida schools did to innovate football in the 90's.
What are you favorite sites and what not? We need to make this spot contain all places you would visit on the web in a day. I solved the analytics issue and we should now be able to get data. We can then take marketing steps after that.
Have fun and do something I'd do and we should be able to do something major here once you're back.
Apparently, the event had nothing to do with Sean Taylor's past. Now what will media say? They can no longer place blame on him. I think some accountability is necessary. They metaphorically desecrated a man's grave. Will we see a new slew of articles addressing the 20 year old problem that society has chosen to ignore? I doubt it. We got to learn about each and every bad thing that Sean did in his life. Can we hear some good things about him by from Big Media? Where are you at Banks, King, Dohrman, Whitlock? All summer, Goodell wanted to eradicate guns from NFL players. Yet he does nothing for their safety. If they felt safe, they wouldn't need guns correct? Sean Taylor used to have pit bulls for protection in his affluent neighborhood. Why did he get rid of them? Because of everyone's obsession with Mike's dogfighting, people who used dogs for protection were seen as evil. I wish Sean had kept a gun in his house and those pit bulls in the yard. I hope the media will take the time to understand why athlete's do what they do, instead of condemn them in attempt to gain control. I am glad they found the killers. But America needs to recognize that athletes are targetted by the have-nots. People protecting themselves should not be viewed as evil especially when society has ignored the problem which causes that insecurity. President Bush has plenty of time to announce that Barry Bond's issue was a sad day in baseball, but hasn't said a word about the fact that Washington DC is the Homicide Capital of America. Sean was not targeted for murder, but his success was a target and his life was lost in the process. Maybe now he can be seen for what he is, a victim. RIP
I'm am disturbed about the media. It is very scary how they operate. I'm glad you feel that way about them because the weak minded can't see it. I am not sure when the change happended or was it the fact that I'm able to recognize more with age. The media is now owned by the large infrastructure companies, and all of their stories support the general themes and thoughts of their editors and leadership. I think writers get told what to write about my nanagement, and will spin any story to meet those ends. I read the sports writers and they flip flop each and every week. They are looking for sensation nowadays so they will say anything to support the sensation they desire to generate. Disney, GE, Fox are all sending their personal messages through the media. Instead of informing the public of facts and allowing them to draw a conclusion, they inform the public of their conclusion and only provide facts that support them. That is what is disturbing to me. I read news from all over the world to find the common truth in all of them and create my own conclusion based upon that. I think it will get worse. Remember V for Vendetta. It was based upon a society where media ruled the world. Things are becoming eerily familiar in that regard. The mainstream media can affect the gullible and uninformed. The problem is that 80% of our country falls into that bucket. They get led by media.
Athletics, all aspects, is an arena for brothas to succeed. There is a reason why. The results are obvious in sports and therefore objective. Most other jobs are driven by subjective results. Except Sales!!!!!!! That is why there are so many athletes and bruh's that can find success there. Objective Results Man, straight up. Negative connotations, culture, stereotypes play a part in subjective evaluations, but not objective ones. This is a key factor right here. Dolphas and I spent a whole XMAS reviewing this concept.
Tomlin is real. His hairline gives him a prominent forehead. It has the same magic power as the jawline or chin depending on your point of view, hehe.
I read Wilbon's article before I wrote last night's comment. That is what set me off. I was mad at first until I reread it. I see what he is doing. He did the same thing Jamele Hill did for ESPN. She works for conservative Disney and Wilbon works for the conservative Post and they guide his writing topics. He failed in his attempt to deliver the message. He missed his target. He had an intent vs. impact problem. I dominated critical thinking and arguementative writing classes so I can see the literary tactics at play. He was setting up his point by recognizing the opposition's point of view. It allows your writing to be more powerful because you are refuting their reply in advance. A pre-emptive strike per se. He was saying that he isn't supriseed that young black man died early and probably at the hands of another young black man. He is saying that it happens so much below the surface(poor areas) that to see that crop up in mainstream society is not a suprise.
I'm still mad about this whole ordeal. I have had damn near a bottle of vino and had to get back to this. I watched the press conference with Gibbs and Snyder. I was glad to hear that Joe said that he wanted everyone to know first and foremost that Sean spent a lot of time with the team chaplain the last two years as well as had attended every chapel session. He said Sean had relationship with the Lord and has gone home. I find peace in that. He went to better place. I'm really glad the white people spoke so highly of him. Once one says something positive about a brotha it becomes magically easier for others to recognize. The one who first speaks out usually someone more special than not. You actually play that role for me(which I appreciate by the way), kinda like my white talisman taking me accross the lake.
Clinton Portis said this in this article. He will probably get about 46 carries this week by the way just for yo ass Fat Polz.

"You think back to how much heat he took for everything," running back Clinton Portis said. "For missing camp, for not being around for this or that, for missing the rookie symposium. You come to the realization that all of that means nothing."
Listen to what Tomlin said. http://www.nfl.com/videos?videoId=09000d5d804976d8
It's neat to see that once Joe Gibbs said that, the black boilerplate started disappearing. He started to receive Jared Allen level treatment instead(Sorry, I had to mention that!) You would hope that America took this opportunity to look into the black on black crime issue. The sad part is that Washington DC is the death capital(highest murder rate) as well as America's epicenter.
Here's another point for you to think about. How many white individuals have been snatched away at their prime besides Elvis and James Dean? Ooh yeah, and dude from the Doors and that broad with the eating disorder. How many bruhs have had a career ended, a threatening court case, or murdered around their prime. It really bothers me that black people don't reach their potential as often. Actually, black people rarely get to reach their potential besides pro athletes and Denzel. Black people don't get put in positions in corporate America beyond our skill set ever. White people do, but black people have to be extra qualified. I don't know if I would have gotten a job in engineering if I didn't play football. Do you know how hard it was to get through that stuff. Now I may have made it seem not that difficult, but in reality that ish(Non curse-word version of sh^t for future reference) damn near defeated me. I had to do more to be average. That is where Donovan's comments came from bye the way. All of our parents taught us that. So it really hurts me personally when I see one that can reach maximum efficiency in their craft get defeated because I guarantee I'll never reach mine. The reason why I don't give up on some so called bad people is because I believe in growth and learning. A leopard can't change it stripes, but it can grow older and wiser and hunt more effectively. People don't change, but they can grow and learn under the right circumstances. Trotter is a family of teachers and educators. I believe in growth, learning and the generation of opportunity. If those don't exist then neither does the camp. This is why I am pissed off because death was required for this to become known. Think of all of the other aspects that can be learned but won't be until someone else dies.
What pisses me off is the boilerplate they give Taylor. Every time they mention something about him, they reference his prior indescretions.
Do they do this to white players too? I'm serious. Same story for TO, Moss, Vick, Ricky. They attach a boilerplate negative stigma to the person every time they mention them.
The economy is garbage and poor people typically start to act up. The next 5 years are going to be worse.
Here's one for you. Why is the Alameda County Sales Tax 8.75 percent. That is the poorest county in Northern California. That is infrastructure racism. Sales Tax is the most unfair tax, but it's funny who has to pay the most. The region with the lowest income makes perfect sense.
Young Black Males are still an endangered species. They have too look out for rich white people, old black people, and poor young black people. That is a triple threat. The children of the crack epidemic have grown up and they have plenty of havoc to wreak in the near future.
At least he played the last play like his last, a 15 yard personal foul facemask call.
That is all bad http://blog.washingtonpost.com/redskinsinsider/
I hope he didn't get hit it any football essential location. He got hit in the leg's big artery based upon my scientific reasoning. They said he got hit in the groin area and bled a lot. There is a huge artery in each thigh and severing it can kill you. It answers the question of how people die when shot in the leg.
Another athletic prodigy may get derailed before reaching their maximum.
The reason why black people don't go skydiving or bungie jumping is because for us chillin at the house is dangerous. We may not make it back home after leaving work so why would we do something extra dangerous.
This is also why, dogs are not family members to black people. Dogs are animals and they are sport. Our lives our tough enough, let alone do we have time to give a damn animal a good life like dress it up in sweaters and give it its own furniture.'
This is also why rich black people may carry guns. The show Cribs just allowed criminals to case the black celebritie's houses in advance. Yet everyone is shocked that some may carry weapons. Yet they don't know what is feels like to be in peril every minute of their existence.
