just wanted everybody to know how well Peyton Hillis is doing

so far he has over 1000 yards on the ground and through the air and over 10 TD's

Obviously we can now see that teams have not been giving white Halfback's a chance. Denver traded him for freakin Brady Quinn. If these teams would just see what they had with white HB's, but instead, they prefer to not 'upset the masses' by having a white guy as HB.

Denver doesn't deserve such a talented white HB as Peyton Hillis

Peyton Hillis is white? F*! And I've been playing him on my fantasy team. Now I'll have to trade him... or not.

bump!

Hillis is a beast. Im sure along the way he's had people doubt his ability as a RB or question could he compete at this level simply because he's white. It must be a thrill to prove people's stupid stereotypes and paranoid beliefs wrong. I think more whites would succeed at RB if more coaches would believe in them and stop pressuring them to be QBs when they dont want to, just to keep some myth at that position alive. Think of how many QBs in this league could've been beast at FB or RB, but their coaches stick them at QB because of some racist stereotype.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.

      I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
