Once again, America is reigning in it's black athletes. I don't care if Bonds did steroids or not because everyone in baseball did it. Did race play a factor? Yes, because race always plays a factor. Racism is subconscious. If people were smart enough to know their actions were racist they would stop right away. If you don't believe me, you should read this article about how different races react to racism. The article is on WebMD so don't try to discredit their work.

African Americans react to subtle forms of racism such as, " you don't talk black". Other people react to the obvious things. Why? African Americans have been dealing with covert racism our whole lives and we are taught by our parents how to deal with it. That is why Donovan McNabb said that. For us to be viewed as average, black people have to be superior. He said that so calm because it is a value he has had for his whole life. Most non-black people are blind to subtleties. What is racist is the depth and level of the pursuit of Barry. High ranking black people that fall from grace are always publicized. It almost feels like America likes to show us black people failing so that blacks no longer try to ascend. Slavery made reading illegal. When black people say that the man is keeping them down it is because of this concept. That is systemic racism. Remember Edward Scissorhands? He was accepted as long as he was making everything pretty. Once he dated the daughter or scared the people they destroyed him. Edward Scissorhands was a black dude. That is why he was dressed in all black. They used a literary analogy to show this. Remember the Green Mile? The gave the black dude magic powers because white people would not have believed that he could be innocent otherwise. They call that character the "magic negro". The magic negro's job is to teach white people. He has to be magical because his blackness ruins his credibility and the only way people will care from him is because he has magic powers(or is a good athlete). We can't be credible on our own.
I wrote a book here, but what do you think about the Bonds situation?

Ricky is back in the game
First of all, where are you man? Did you drink too much sweet tea in Georgia? Are you getting old and can't hold your liquor like you used to or see too many magic cities.
Why I like Ricky Williams can be defined at the end. He is a deeply thoughtful individual and he underscored the difference in playing football and in being an NFL football player. I remember when one of my coaches called me too smart to play football. What he meant was that I was smart enough to recognize the head games and posturing, and getting me to buy in required entitlement as oppossed to blind following. If the leader is profound, then blind following is ok. Not too many of us get the priviledge of having a profound leader, thus the behaviors associated with me being too smart were bound to show up on occasion, like when I told a position coach that all he needs to do is direct us. Many people were shocked that I can say something like that, but in reality they could not grasp what I meant. That coach just regurgitated what he was told and was not capable of teaching us. Since he couldn't teach, what else could he do besides direct us because he didn't know the principles behind his calls. A dissenter I was, no. I was more likely a realistic person aware of his leadership situation. Rickly walked out on Wannedstadt. I know why, but a lot of other people don't have the capacity and depth to understand his decision making process. Most Americans are lazy and stupid and won't take the time to learn such things unless there is a tragedy or something similar happens that personally affects them. Racism is one of those things that lazy people won't learn until the day they get the priviledge of sitting in someone else's shoes. I say priviledge because to be educated by life is a gift. Football players are in a difficult situation. Because of Fantasy sports, they get more media coverage than actors. The only thing is that actors like that have their free will and can do what they want. A football players makes in their life time what an actor can make in one movie. As a result, they are always accountable and always leveraged. Any action that a man takes in order to be to make his own decisions and to pursue happiness is an action that I appreciate. He is the first football player to pursue happiness despite being owned. Being someone that was called too smart to play football, I can truly relate. Can't you Robert Smith and Tiki Barber?

"I hated being a football player before," Williams said. "Someone asked me a question. They said, 'Do you like playing football?' I thought about it and I thought about it and I thought about it. And the next day, I was doing this exercise and I was writing down my ideal paradise moment. And when I really thought about it, it was playing football. I realized that I love to play football and I love to be on the field. But I hated being a football player."

Week 10 thoughts
The Redskins will probably go after Fanece this year. They need a dominate O-line in order to close games out. They don't have the ability to wear a team out physically and it's affecting them.
John Beason is tight. Carolina won't miss Dan Morgan
Aaron Brooks is getting another tryout!
Cromartie stepped out of his cocoon
Big Ben reminds me of the Dante Culpepper with Randy Moss
Raiders aren't playing Dante because of his incentive clauses
Cleveland didn't run enough at the end of the game. They are young and must learn that you have to run to win unless you have Brady or Manning as your QB.
Green Bay found their first frozen tundra runner since Dorsey Levens
Too many players are getting hurt this year
I still don't like Goodell
Ricky is back. Haha!
Haynesworth didn't play on Sunday for Tennessee and look what happened
Jason Campbell needs Bernard Berrian to throw deep to
David Gerrard and Quinn Gray seem like the same person to me
John Beck is not going to help Miami
Alex Smith may not recover, ever

The W- mid season Fantasy report
the preseason concern for fantasy this year was the dreaded 2 back systems being deployed by numerous NFL teams- the issue? it never materialized.
what has happened to the NFL RB?
where have you gone:
frank gore
steven jackson
rudi johnson
maurice jones drew
cadilac
clinton portis
larry johnson
the list can go on
is it that some much emphasis is now spent on fantasy football that these issues are well known?
or is it just a very very very strange fantasy football season
or does it not matter?
draft boards across the nation or upside down with the only winners those who drafted Brady and Moss
weird
off to athens georgia- via buckhead thur night
will report on the findings

Week 9 thoughts
To see Chad Johnson on a stretcher completely surrounded and loved by members of both teams shows how much respect Chad has throughout the league. He is one of the most loved players in the game and he almost enjoys playing as much as Brett Favre.
Adrian Peterson is doing in his rookie season the same thing he did as a freshman in college. In his first 6 games he has around 1100 yards, 8 TDs, averaging over 6 yards a carry. He is averaging more yards per carry now as a pro compated to then(6.6 vs 6.1). He is a manchild. Young McFadden may be as a better athlete, but Peterson is a better runner.
Running Backs who sat out of training camp started slow. Take a note of this coaches because RBs unlike other positions need to get in synch with their O'line and that takes time straight up.
Baltimore and St Louis are learning what life is like with a Dominant Hall of Fame LT. Ogden and Pace are done for the year and their QBs have the injuries to prove it. Losing a critical O-lineman can ruin a season(ask Seattle).
Patriots will lose. Not now, but in December when the weather impacts the passing game. New England can be stopped if one of the 3 receivers get hurt. New England also can be run on. The Giants, a trip to BMORE, or the Steel Men may be able to stop them. Indy played without 4 starters and should have one.
Portis finally showed up. Please see the 3rd point for further clarification. Washington DC should always lean on Clinton.
Antonio Cromartie finally showed why he was picked in the first round without playing a down in college the year before. He has some dominant traits and can score.
Charles Woodson came back to the party. He finally got over his toe injury and playing for the Raiders.
Culpepper was not the cause of the Raiders struggles. He gave them chances to win and that's all you can ask for. McCown and the rookie won't. On that note, what happened to Aaron Brooks. Why did he get blackballed? It's quite obvious that it wasn't his fault last year. He is a former pro bowler, but teams will pick up Testaverde or Dilfer first. That is BS, and may be racial.
SF missed Norv and Antonio Bryant. The latter may have some issues both chemcial and personal, but he was a needed deep threat. I've learned recently how critical the deep threat is to a running back. Without one, SF can't run the ball against 8 men in the box.
The NFC EAST is back.
Lee Evans doesn't work out in the offseason. For the past two years, he sucked the first few weeks then blew up. Same story this year, different chapter.
Bobby Petrino is stubborn, but in a good way. It's very hard not to feel his will and determination. I think he will get Atlanta back to solidarity. It make take 5 years, but one day he will overcome.
Haynesworth had 3 sacks. He is dominant like I said before and is the defensive player of the year.
TO and MOSS are back. A middle finger goes to all of the haters.
Reggie Bush can be a featured back and New Orleans weathered the storm.
Where art thou Romeo? In the lockeroom chillin and happy that Cleveland has a real quartback since the expansion team began on the Couch. Welcome to the party Romeo, you are legit. You can take Marvin's place because he has taken a step downwards.
Winslow the soldier emerged with 11 catches for a buck and a quarter. It's about time he gets some spoils.

When will they learn?????
why dont the Bruins Hire Pat Hill? if there is any school that needs his style, way of playing it is the Bruins. personally i hope they got 6-6 every year for ever.
it makes a lot of sense to me.
it makes a lot of sense to me.

Our Dub Midseason review
Here's my list of some award winners:
Tightest Rookie offensively is Adrian Peterson. Why? Because he got screwed as a freshman and should have won the heisman then. He was a grown man at age 17.5 before college. He is Eric Dickerson junior, with stiffer hips but more overall twitch.
Young Defensive Hog award goes to Patrick Willis of the Niners. I have been forced to watch him due to the location of my home base. He is playing better than Urlacher(not as a rookie, but right "arthritis" now.
Albert Haynesworth- After having football snatched away from last year for stomping Gurode and being in a contract year has fully motivated this talented young man. The biggest knock on him throughout his college days Volunteering was that he was lazy. As you can see, when he is not lazy he is dominant. He is the reason why the Titans are in the hunt. He stops the run, covers up the lightweight backer Thornton and frees up the Vanden botch dude to get sacks.
Aaron Kampmann, The bull rusher extraorinaire specialized in putting offensive tackles in their quarterback's lap. He singlehandedly destroyed the Redskins in their victory with 3 sacks and 2 Offenstive tackle injuries.
Sean Taylor- Why? He has evolved beyond cornrows, is leading the NFL in picks, and wears the Jack Tatum style of hair cut.
Bob Sanders- He somehow has made Indy's defense even better than last year. He didn't do it, actually Indy did a rope-a-dope on the world. Hayden and Jackson, last year's rookies, were actually better than the veterans in front of them, so they upgraded by letting the free agents go. Either way, Sanders is a beast.
Tom Brady- Winner of the I get to throw to randy Moss Award. He is having a better year than when Manning won the MVP.
New England O-line- This is a unit that is playing perfectly. They provide enough protection to run a play fake on a draw play. They have mastered the lateral aspect of zone blocking combined with the angles and precision of vertical trap blocking. The only other teams that do that are Indy, Boise State, the Giants. I think a special line is required for that.
Brett Favre- Because he can make throws other humans simply can't make.
Herm Edwards- Did you see how bad Kansas City looked on HBO? They couldn't even drink water correctly let alone win a game.
Plaxico Burress has reached his peak performance level. Not saying he deserves anything but every time I see a Giant highlight it seems like it's Plex scoring a touchdown.
