Posting Issue, sorry for the delay.

Apparently several of the articles that I have put together, were not posting properly over the last week.  So I apologize for the flood of "new" articles.

Thanks,

Donovan McNabb is "Not Black Enough..he's got a suntan"

This is going to go over really well, and should promote a feeding frenzy in the media.

Boxing Superstar Bernard Hopkins ripped apart former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb for his lack of "blackness" among other things.  Here are a few snippets from the commentary:

"According to Hopkins, McNabb had a privileged childhood in suburban Chicago and, as a result, is not black enough or tough enough, at least compared with, say, himself, Michael Vick and Terrell Owens."



"Why do you think McNabb felt he was betrayed? Because McNabb is the guy in the house, while everybody else is on the field. He's the one who got the extra coat. The extra servings. 'You're our boy,' " Hopkins said, patting a reporter on the back in illustration. "He thought he was one of them."



This was clearly another slavery reference, just from a new source and angle.  Hopkins was just using it to prove I point it seems, but is anyone else getting tired of hearing these references?  

Slavery was and is a horrible practice, and yes, sadly enough it is still widely spread even today.   But let's not act like the average person in this country is anything like a slave, regardless of heritage or creed.  Even people with rotten bosses, and lousy wages are still not slaves.

Where will Ocho end up next?

Is Ochocinco on the move?  Is he back in Cincinatti?  Is he ever going to ride a bull again?

Well my thoughts are that Ocho has enough talent to still be an asset to the Bengals, but with the younger players coming in it would probably be a good idea to clean up some of the Cincy Circus.  If Chad would return to the hungry young player that worked his but off, and watched endless hours of game film, then he would be a great veteran in front of AJ Green and Andy Dalton.  But if the expected, entertaining but overly extracurricular Ocho continues his antics, then they should part ways.

Regardless of my opinion on the matter, Jason La Canfora opines on the most favorable destinates for Ocho:

Raiders: Oakland would be my best bet. Hue Jackson has worked with Ochocinco and likes him. He also has a need for a veteran wide receiver. We know the Raiders are willing to gamble on guys.

Seahawks: Seattle, similarly, has taken chances on characters and has a need at wide receiver. Pete Carroll is not shy when it comes to taking on unique players, or guys who might scare other teams off. He considered signing Terrell Owens and Brandon Marshall a year ago.

Redskins: Washington tried like heck to land Ochocinco a few years back, dangling multiple first-round picks. Dan Snyder has been enamored with him and Ochocinco's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, has done a lot of business with the Redskins over the years. Ochocinco's game has dipped since then, but if Santana Moss moves on he could make some sense for them.

Bears: I can't help but wonder if the Bears would take a chance as well, particularly if Ochocinco drops his price. He comes with some quirks, but has never been in any sort of trouble legally, and a lot of guys in the league love him. He can be a "me" guy and his antics rub some people the wrong way, but as a second or third option, he could be a fit with Chicago. Mike Martz is more interested in explosive/quick-twitch guys, and at this stage of his career Ochocinco doesn't fit that description. But in a limited free-agent market, he could be a solid option.

NFL Player gets 23% Loan on 500k

PFT got the scoop from Rich “Big Daddy” Salgado of Coastal Advisors, one of the leading insurance firms for pro athletes, on an unnamed NFL player reportedly getting a 500k loan at a disgustingly high rate of 23%.


Let's not be haters, we all wish we were that loan shark right now.

Burleson, "Calvin is just too damn good"

When the Lions have continued to bring in other weapons to surround Matthew Stafford and Calvin Johnson, the belief is that with enough weapons, teams will stop double and triple teaming Megatron.

That is a logical theory, but I know better than that, and so does Nate Burleson.  Here is an article written by Tom Kowalski from Mlive about the subject.

Burleson:"No, (Johnson's) just too good. He's just too damn good,'' Burleson said. "Occasionally you'd see a team throw one-on-one coverage out there and they'd get burned. No, no matter what talent we surround him with, he's going to attract the attention. No matter how many people you put on the Lakers, Kobe Bryant's still going to get double-teamed. Calvin is that type of individual, he's one of the best in the game and he's always going to get that type of coverage.''

Tom K.: "Instead, says Burleson, the idea of bringing in all the other offensive talent is to capitalize on the opportunities that Johnson provides them.

Burleson: "We've got to benefit from that. It's up to us to make the plays,'' he said.

As much as I love Burleson, and appreciate the way he plays the game, no one was worried he would break a game wide open.  Let's hope Titus is a different story.  Even if Young does develop into a good pro, a poor man's Desean Jackson as many have stated, teams will still take their chances with him.  For now.
