Mcnabb Calling out!!

Mcnabb made some interesting comments on Real Sports with James Brown earlier this week. He basically claimed that black QBs face more pressure to perform than white QBs. His comments have sent shock waves through the football community. Jason Campbell and Vince Young have already responded to his comments on Wednesday. Jason Campbell said he felt the same during college but not in the NFL. Vince Young was the most outspoken of the two saying that if you can't handle the pressure it takes to be a QB then you should get out. The problem I have with this is that both Vince and Jason haven't been in the league long enough to have an opinion about the pressures involved being a African-American QB. Mcnabb has been in the league for going on 9 seasons now. He's has taken the Eagles to a super bowl which they haven't reached in years. He's taken them to multiple NFC Championships only to get ripped by the horrible fans in Philly that boo even Mike Schmidt the greatest third baseman of all-time and even Santa Claus. I commend Mcnabb for being truthful in his opinions and feelings. Race is still an issue in the real world, whats to say it's not happening in NFL. 32 teams and only 6 black QBs? 32 teams and only 2 black GMs? 32 teams and only 6 black coaches which 3 are in the same division! Numbers don't lie, it needs to change but we are moving in the right direction. The fact is race plays a part in everyday life including a persons place of work. Mcnair wasn't allowed to workout at the Titans facility during last years offseason because they didn't want him anymore yet Trent Green gets to workout with the Chiefs even though they knew the were going to trade him too. Would this happen to a Jay Cutler or a Manning? I think not!

Top News for week 2

Did anyone catch the games over this weekend? Week two was very interesting to say the least. The Bengals scored 45 points Sunday and lost to the Browns. That's right I said the Browns. Derek Anderson had the game of his life throwing for five touchdowns and only one interception. Was this a case of the Browns getting better or just that Cincinnati is really that bad? I think it's that defense is just horrible. Over the past three season the Bengals were in the top five when it comes to takeaways but they always give up big plays which hurts them in the long run. If the Bengals want to have any chance of making the playoffs, they better fix that defense quick. Chad Johnson also jumped into the dawg pound in celebration of his 2nd touchdown. Is he crazy? It was entertaining though I do have to give him that. The Houston Texans walked all over Carolina Sunday scoring 34 unanswered points throughout the game. Matt Schaub had a great game throwing for two touchdowns and no interceptions. He also had the highest QB rating of 119.2 in team history. The Texans are looking like they could be the dark horse in the AFC playoffs. Surprisingly we have quite a few teams that are 2-0 at the beginning of this season. No one had both Houston and Detroit starting this well. You also have San Fransisco and Green bay both at 2-0. On the short end of the stick you have the Giants and Eagles at 0-2 in their first two games. It is early in the season but it's definitely time for the Giants to panic. Their defense has given up 70 points in two games. The offense is very inconsistent and the don't have Brandon Jacobs back in the lineup. Tom Coughlin is on the hot seat even though he probably should have been fired last year. The teams better turn things around soon. The NFL you can't give up too many games before it's too late.

NFL Tight Ends Fantasy Football

According to last year, the tight end position was supposed be on the rise this year. That's certainly not the case. With the except of Jason Witten and Antonio Gates, no other tight end in the whole league really gave the fantasy world anything to be proud about. Experts were saying that the a lot of the teams would use more athletic tight ends to get more receiving yards. Well as you can tell by week one's events, that certainly not the case. One guy to keep your eye on though is Heath Miller. He is the starting tight end for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Compared to last years smash mouth, run run run offense they had, this year they promised to throw it down the field more often. Which they showed off against the Browns, Roethlisberger threw for 4 TD's all over the field. This looks very promising for Heath Miller this year. We will have to wait and see.
