Michael Clark Proves That (20/10 Vision) Does Exist In The Basketball World
If you don’t know Michael Clark then it’s about time you get...
BLACK QUARTERBACK MATCH-UPS ARE THE BEST NFL SUNDAY
SUNDAY’S NFL BEST
All the White Boys & Girls
the less adventuresome will
focus their NFL attention
on the Cowboys – Giants
or the Browns – Steelers
this Sunday afternoon
but the SMART will
be switching between
Redskins – Eagles
Titans – Jaguars
( if you can )
Because those two NFL games feature the all too RARE treat of Opposing Black Quarterbacks. That would be enough for all those attracted to the seductiveness of the Quarterback Drama but there is more. Much more. All 4 of these teams have as much to gain or lose or more than the other 26 NFL teams playing this weekend.
Let’s turn to Washington – Philadelphia first because this will be concentrated QB Action. As you know from yesterday’s Box Donovan McNabb’s Dire Straits trying to keep his Starting Job as Football’s Father Time nips at his ever slower heels. Yet at not quite 31 still theoretically capable of bouncing back and leading the Eagles against the Odds to a winning season. Even farther ?? Like in the Good Old Days.
Yes we’ll say it even a very long shot Wild Card play-off berth which could save Donovan for another season or two OR make him attractive enough to another NFL Quarterback Challenged Team ( there are so many ) to find a Second QB Life for himself.
That is why Sunday is
so very very important to
the 3-5 Eagles most of all
McNabb who even risks
losing his Starting Role
forever more right away
with a Disastrous Game
That would be enough all alone to make this game Riveting. The Fate of one very prominent up until recently dominant player. AND WHY SPORTS FANS there is so so much more to find in Sports specifically in NFL games these Human Dramas that go far deeper than the next play and the score or whether “your” team wins.
Then on the Other Side of the Field
Quarterbacking for the Redskins
we have Young Black Quarterback
Jason Campbell beginning
to Establish Himself in DC
still has a lot to Prove
to GUARANTEE he
ABSOLUTELY
POSITIVELY
will be
THE Redskins QB of the Future
for the next 5 years or more
So a Stellar Performance by Jason and visually contrasting the Old McNabb and the New Campbell with Washington coming out on top and improving their record to a playoff bound hopeful at 6-3 will make it a Great Day for Jason.
Then down in Nashville
a very few states away
another Black Drama
of the QB kind
This one not as clear cut as that above with the 6-2 Titans taking on the 5-3 Jaguars. But here we have as fascinating a Black on Black match-up with its own character or should we say characters and its unique plot line. While the Titans record is impressive Vince Young Rookie of the Year and Offensive Player of the Year last season has not been quite as overwhelming this season even as Tennessee has a more impressive record and Higher Hopes than in 2006.
This is a great opportunity for Vince to Re-Shine, return to 2006 form and put his Titans in an enviable position at 7-2 with 7 regular season games to follow. Even if they were to go 4-3 after a Win Sunday they will very likely be play-off bound.
But here in Nashville Sunday
on the Other Side of the Field
stands the BEST QB situation in
the entire NFL from our
Black-centric perspective
It is UNIQUE in the entire NFL – and correct us if we are wrong – in the ENTIRE history of the NFL the Jaguars are the ONLY team ever to have now and in the past as both their Starting Quarterback and Heir Apparent + Prime Back-up TWO Black Quarterbacks.
A very very relevant fact this Sunday because Starter David Garrard is injured and the very likely Starter again will be Young Gray Quinn (never heard of him ?? except if you read the Box) who has filled in the last 2 games.
As for the game Jacksonville 5-3 will tie Tennessee both with a record 6-3 IF they can up end the Titans behind Gray Quinn (sure sounds Irish right out of Notre Dame but than God he isn’t …. Quinn is a member of the Family). So in fact the stakes are just as high in Jacksonville vs. Tennessee as with Washington vs. Philadelphia.
FORGET
Giants vs. Dallas and
Cleveland vs. Pittsburgh
THINK
Eagles vs. Redskins
and Jaguars vs. Titans
all 4 of these games on
exactly the same time 1PM ET
the problem is Black Sports Fans
( and those who wannabe )
unless you have Satellite TV
and the expensive Sunday Ticket
unless you live in DC or Philly
or their broadcast radius
Tennessee or Jacksonville
and their broadcast radius
you won’t be watching
Black Quarterbacks
in these Epic Battles
but you will get
the other 2 games
on broadcast TV
what we need is
Black Sports TV
it is coming soon
on the Internet
from BASN
we hope so be patient
that’s your only choice
for a Bright Future
watching Black Quarterbacks
whenever wherever they play
as for this NFL Sunday
PRAY for a Miracle
a rogue TV signal from
DC or Nashville or
better still run out and
get a Satellite Dish and
NFL Sunday Ticket
( we should get paid for this ! )
