Jeff Fisher should be the coach.  Norm Chow has yet to prove he can make it in the NFL.  2006 is the last year on Fisher's contract, with the team having an option for 2007.  With another sub-par year, I don't expect Fisher to be the coach in 2007.  Am not sure who it will be, but it won't be Chow.\n\nHope that is helpful.

I don't see a problem.  It's not like you're saying "all black athletes are better than white athletes" or "all white students are better than black students."  However, the conclusions you draw by looking at a small sample of athletes or a pile of numbers are somewhat faulty.  Here's why:  Yes, there are a lot more black athletes in the NBA than white athletes, but how many black hockey players do you know?  They are some of the strongest, fastest, toughest guys on the planet.  Also, it may be true that statistics show blacks as not scoring as high on aptitude tests than whites, but we have charter schools in Detroit that are 95% black students (or better) and these kids are scoring higher on the SAT/ACT than their white counterparts in the suburban Christian academies.  My point is this:  Be careful about making general comments about any given race, and try to look at the whole picture when using "evidence" to back up your claims.

Al Davis coached the Raiders from 1963 to 1966 before becoming their owner.  Not sure if other owners have been players and/or coaches.

Based on avg. roster of about 44 players on roster a year over those 10 years 1983-19993 probabably between 350 to 400 (throwing injuries trades etc... into the mix). I have no idea what NFL roster limits were in the 50's or 60's they might not have been limits, I'd guess 25 to 35 between 1950-1960. The league was primarily made up of white americans at this time.

I think you're talking about the book called My name is Barry and I'm a jerk.  The way he quit the NFL was horrible, he completely screwed his teammates and his fans by not letting them know of his intensions to retire until right before the season began.  He's on my permanent sh*t list.

The number of African-American players is as low as it has been since the 50's, about one in every ten. However players from the Dominican Republic, Cuba, Venezuala, and other Cental American countries is at an all time high; nearly 45%... A recent Stanford study shows that in urban areas baseball popularity has been, and still is, on a decline, it has been briskly dropping for the past 15 years.\n\n  A question that been on my mind for some time now is, ''Why is the number of Caucasian players in basketball so low?''. Yes I know that someone who reads this will probably say it's because white dudes can't jump, I'm not denying this but I simply wonder.\n\n  In any issue that involves race it is impossible for someone not to come out offended at something. It is a very sensitive topic. I, however, offer my solution, which is this: Who cares?. It's one thing to worry about health care and education in poverty stricken areas, but when it comes to something like sports I think that we in this country are concerned a little to much.\n\n  If African-American teens don't want to play baseball, who cares? Is it not their choice? If basketball and football are the sports of choice to black males, let them do what they want and let's all focus our energy on solutions for an issue that actually has an once of importance to it. \n\n  Does anyone really think that a starving child in the Sudan or India gives a damn about why the number of African-American baseball players is decreasing?

There has been several black drivers.\n 1956:Charlie Scott drove for Carl Kiekhaefer.\n 1961-1973 Wendell Scott won a race in 1964 made 495 starts.\n 1986 Willy T.Ribbs made 3 starts\n  Presently Bill lester drives in the Craftsman Truck Seris.\n  Plus on the local level there have been several with NASCAR ties.

The lions are for sure looking for a coach after firing heir coach. Houston may end up firing Dom Capers after such poor season. New Orleans and Oakland look like they will fire their coaches, Oaklands offense should have does much better and do I need to say much about New Orleans? \n\nThe Ravens coach Brian Billick is on the hot seat because of the bad development of Kyle Boller, who has not done much good as a QB and a real bad season. I think we'll have to wait to see will is fired and the off-season before we'll get a good idea of posable replacements.

They have never had a black qb.  If you think about it though most teams havent.  It is fairly new to have african american qb's usually they play other positions.  Think about it Doug Williams in the 80's was the first Black qb to win the super bowl and to my recolection there has never been another one.

No one has had a decent career mooch will get rehired probably as a o cordinator first then a head coach good luck mooch.  The only lions qb i can think of, that even had a good game after playing for the lions in rodney peete i know ha ha but from a team that signs limb wrist qb's like harrington and garcia their in trouble.  I think these new qbs with new coaching can turn around the team  07 champs Detroit Lions

Dennis Green's clock is ticking and its almost down to zero, bro. \nThats not a hot seat.  Thats a SKILLET he's on. \n\nA good replacement would be maybe, Norv Turner, or Jim Fassel, since he got fired from the Ravens. \nThere arent too many coaches out there to choose from....\n\nUnless Charlie Weis wants to come back again.....

I was somewhat disappointed.  I just wish Parcells and the rest of the team would get their act together and get back to winning superbowls like they did when Jimmy was there.  It's not all about 1 coach, it's a team effort when it comes to winning games.

I think it is rather likely there will be a black president sometime during the 21st Century.  There are several well-qualified potential candidates now but I don't see most of them seeking the office.

I played basketball most of my life.  I coached basketball for a few years after palying.  But Football is much much better. If you take what a sponsor pays for a 30 second comercial during the superbowl and what sponsor pays for ten 30 second comercials during the 7 game playoff, its still like half.  Basketball (The NBA) isnt what it use to be.  A business is only as good as it employees.  Its also hard for people to relate to BBall players.  They dont like them.  I dont know what its like to be a black guy from the ghetto who now makes millions of dollars.  And I dont think a Black guy who lives in the ghetto can relate either, since he doesnt have a million dollars.  The NFL is great and getting better.  Also have you seen an NBA draft lately.  I cant pronounce there names.  They draft alot over seas and from highschool.  I could go on for days why basketball stinks now of days and football is good.

Yes. I agree here. I was just watching sport center and they were talking about the struggles the Steelers are having and they never mentioned once the words "Antwaan Randel El, and Jerome Bettis." Randel El, through a TD pass in the Super Bowl and The Bus ran for one in the super boowl game. At the end the Steelers were up less then 2 TD. Important players in that game from the Steelers.
