Some of you may remember DE/OLB Ricky Elmore, a player who was drafted by the Packers in the 6th round last year, he was college teammate to Brooks Reed. Elmore led his team and the PAC (IIRC) in sacks his final year. He was drafted by the Packers and cut at the end of training camp because he seriously did NOTHING during training camp or the preseason. He got zero push even against low quality tackles, he couldn't stop the run and couldn't cover. He seriously didn't make a single play that made you think, "Hey maybe he's got a future in the league." He was a nice enough guy, he seemed to try hard, he just didn't have the ability. This forumer is answering the question of why Elmore was cut. quote:The answer is very obvious. He lacks melanin. If he didn't lack melanin, he wouldn't had been treated this way. He would've been given every chance to succeed, not knocked down with invented things and then cut in preseason.[ And no, this is not from Caste Football, sadly.

I think part of the caste post mentality is that many of these guys appear to be really mad they're not star collegiate/professional athletes and choose the comfort of believing that maybe they could have gotten there if not for the vile system of oppression against white people in sports. It's easier to get mad about non-existent boogeymen and strawman stereotypes than it is to acknowledge they didn't work hard enough and/or didn't hit the genetic lottery jackpot. Wonder what the correlation is between caste football posting and guys who were high school backups.

I gave up on PSU boards after I realized almost everyone was either "nine wins is a horrible season" or "if the record is less than 13-0 its a disaster of 9/11 proportions." For the NFL guys only, if a college team goes 9-3 its not the best season but half the league would kill to sniff something even close to that. But when you look at the top 10 teams of all time, their average season: 9-3. Actually 8-4 is closer. No one has a .750 all time winning percentage.

College boards are an entirely different animal. Every now and then I'd drop by the NCSU basketball one for some massive laughs. Every year was "fire Sendek" then the one time Julius Hodge went coast to coast on UConn to steal a sweet 16 berth there was like a 20 page thread "Should Herb Sendek have the auto extending 10 year contract we gave Jimmy V?" with like 1,000 HELL YES replies. Guess what they wanted to do not even 12 months later?

Something new for the Bookmark file: http://qbinskirts.com/quote:Today football has forever been ruined by the Dictator Commissioner of the NFL and the pansy “journalists” that influence him. Suspending Pittsburgh Steelers LB James Harrison was a shameful act brought on mostly by a bunch of cowards that never played the game beyond the pee wee level. Let me start with the play in question. There is enough ambiguity with the actual rule to argue that Harrison’s hit on Cleveland Browns QB Colt McCoy was in fact legal. When a QB attempts to advance the ball as a runner he can be hit like a runner. Helmet to helmet hits on runners are within the rules. On the play in question McCoy broke out of the pocket and tucked the ball. He made no less than 4 strides with the ball tucked before he flipped it at the last second to an open receiver. Even though he was able to get rid of the ball he never established a passing posture. When James Harrison committed to making the hit on McCoy he did so under the assumption that McCoy was trying to run the ball. I don’t know how anyone could argue that McCoy was not trying to advance the ball as a runner once he tucked the ball and broke from the pocket. Had Harrison laid a lick like that on Peyton Hillis there would be no such outrage. It just isn’t cut and dry that the hit was illegal and there is no consensus that it was an illegal hit. Former NFL player Bucky Brooks who writes for NFL.com had this to say about the hit in an opinion piece on NFL.com: There's more!

Wow this guy is great I was going to pick some quotes but there is too much. Ray Lewis is only Ray Lewis because of two players he hasn't played with in over a decade, center is the third most important position on the field because Vince Lombardi won with interior blocking 90 years ago, This is probably my favorite though quote:Obviously, that makes CornerBack a priority for me. However, as they are furthest away from the Ball at the time of the Snap, I'm not looking to break the bank on them. I quit reading here but man this dude must have put 20 hours into this psychotic post.

Sam Adams was on the Ravens for literally two years, 2000 and 2001. Lewis made the pro bowl in 97 and 98 and was an all-pro in 1999. In 2002, the year after Adams left(and the whole team was gutted due to the cap), Lewis would have likely been a top candidate for DPOY if he hadn't been injured. He won the award again in 2003. In neither of these years did we have an Adams or a Siragusa. Those players were certainly key to our Superbowl run and did help Lewis but they're far from the things that forged his career.

Best part of that is if Asante Samuel didn't drop an interception that hit his loving hands on the play right before "that play". New England would have had 19-0. And if we had a respectable corner covering Manningham, Eli would be 0-2 against the Patriots in Super Bowls. And Ray Lewis owes Tony Siragusa anything for being probably the best linebacker in the history of the NFL? Now thats trolling.

There was a game in 2004 on MNF against the Chiefs where Ray Lewis was going nuts because he thought he was being double teamed on every play and that's when the team decided we needed a huge dominant DT up front or something. Some people got the idea from that game that Ray Lewis was overrated and that the only reason he did well all those years was because he had big players like Sam Adams and Tony Siragusa to keep blockers from getting to him. But really that game was just against that mega offensive line the Chiefs had with like 3 HOFers on it. I think this is where that whole theory originated.

The Manningham play didn't really matter in the end. I have no doubt in my mind that Eli would have just driven down the field to kick the game winning field goal as time expired anyway.

This is still one of my favorite replays from that offensive line. Ray talking about how he's being doubled every play and then they show him never being doubled and just running into Shields again and again (or occasionally Roaf or someone else). The defenses on those teams were  bad so there was never any playoff success, but that line was amazing.As I remember Lewis was actually pretty good that game too once you got past the doubled every down quote.

There's an old industry secret... Every LBer gets dominated when offensive linemen who outweigh them by 50-80 lbs constantly get in their face. I always laugh when I hear people say "Oh that LBer sucks unless he has a D-line that can keep him clean." In other news, RBs suck when defensive linemen are constantly breaking through the O-line and tackling them behind the LOS.
