Who Should I Root For In The Super Bowl?
I’m a Dallas Cowboys fan. I have no allegiance to Seattle or New England. I don’t know who I’ll root for. I might have to wait for the game to get going. * My flu has given me the ideal … Continue reading
RIP Jethro Pugh
I’ll always remember Dallas defensive lineman Jethro Pugh as the Cowboy who was too lazy to dig his cleats into the turf (unlike his teammate Bob Lilly), allowing himself to get shoved out of the way and costing the Dallas … Continue reading
Would You Want To Trust Your NFL Franchise To A Black Quarterback?
Quarterbacks tend to be the most highly paid position in the NFL because the play of your starting quarterback, more than anything else, will usually determine how well your team does. NFL contracts typically run for many years so a … Continue reading
How To Improve Sports
I wish we had sports teams, particularly football teams, that fell entirely along racial and religious lines. Imagine a Jews vs Muslims contest, or jihadis vs lesbians, or blacks vs whites, or straights vs gays or Mexicans vs blacks. Chaim … Continue reading
Blacks, Whites, Jews & Asians Evolved Different Moralities

A few years ago, I watched Philadelphia Eagle receiver DeSean Jackson catch a long pass against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football and run to the end zone unmolested but short of the goal line, he tossed the ball … Continue reading
Can A Jewish Woman Save The NFL?
Jews don’t tend to play tackle football. We’re more likely to own a sports team than to play for one. Domestic violence usually means that two morons have been going at each other and the littler one lost. I was … Continue reading
Brian and the Boz
This 30 for 30 documentary shook me up. It’s about a kid (Brian Bosworth, better known as the Boz) who can never meet his father’s expectations who takes on a college coach (Barry Switzer) as his subtitute father figure, enjoys … Continue reading
I Am Just Glad Jameis Winston Can Write His Own Name
Too often the news media concentrate on the negative instead of looking for uplifting angles to a news story. That’s the case here. There’s good news. Jameis Winston is not illiterate. He’s a university-educated scholar. Report: Even as Florida State … Continue reading
