A bit off topic but I’ve never seen a QB so universally praised by the media and fans alike that had 4 guys go ahead of him. Nobody says “yeah he has a good chance to develop into a solid starter” it’s always “HE WILL REVOLUTIONIZE THE GAME” like we’ve never seen somebody scramble before lol. All that said, I like the kids game a lot and I’ll miss seeing him be a genie on Saturdays for sure, but race and the whole “he’s a WR” bs seems to of played a huge role on his perception by people outside of front offices. Someone should publish a scientific article about the way we view white QB’s and black QB’s through different spectrums. Like why aren’t they discussing Josh Allen(6’5,245,4.7) running some QB power up in Buffalo? His athletic measurable and those darts he throws makes him look more like a Cam Newton  than any white QB I can think to compare him to, but people seem to have a hard time doing the cross racial comps when it comes to QB’s. /Rant

I think Lamar Jackson is riding the wave of hype from Deshaun Watson’s rookie year. I’ve heard a lot of comparisons between the two so you know if Watson didn’t have such a great rookie year, there wouldn’t be so much excitement about Jackson’s NFL potential.

That is because historically white qbs are better throwers and below average rushers while black qbs are better runners and below average throwers. Just the way it is really, with a few exceptions here and there. Also Allen is a decent bit slower than Cam..

      25-26 NHL Regular Season Thread

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      Canes vs Rags 7pm

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
