Your league gives points for that? WeirdI need his legs to get broken on the first play...Down with Roddy!

It will be interesting to see where he charts against Greg Jennings, another break out WR. Jennings is getting a lot more love because he has 7 more TDs, but White has more yards and more receptions (in one fewer game as of now). If White manages to get 80 rec for 1200 yards and 6 TDs this year (his pace), I will have a tough time figuring out his value for next year. Same with Jennings, if Jennings gets 60 receptions for 1000 yards and 14 TDs (his pace) it is going to be tough deciding if value lies in the rec/yards or with the guy putting up the TDs.Edit: The Jennings/White comparison should read one more possible game. Jennings didn't play week 1 or 2He's 80 yards away from 1000 on the year. Probably one of the most under-the-radar breakout seasons we have this year.
That is all I need another owner in our league to get in order to beat the team I am tied for the division lead with.4 points baby, that's all. hell, steve smith got 6 pts and you have to better than that worthless POS![]()
I view White as slightly more of a crazy breakout - I figured someone from Atlanta would do so, wasn't sure who. I expected Jennings to have a good year, and pounced on him in a draft when he fell. I wanted to grab Wilford from Jax & White as well, but had to pick one or the other. Got White off waivers early in the year, so it worked out.Those 2 guys have really saved my season in one league. I'd expect them both to be pretty solid next season, although watch out for Robinson in ATL.It will be interesting to see where he charts against Greg Jennings, another break out WR.

White managed a career game last week with Redman at the helm for much of the game.You guys realize Redman is the QB tonight? I'd be happy with 40 yards from White tonight.
Let's hope that was a one-week wonder.Just say no to Roddy!White managed a career game last week with Redman at the helm for much of the game.You guys realize Redman is the QB tonight? I'd be happy with 40 yards from White tonight.![]()

The Atlanta message boards, I swear I'm not making this up, have posts stating that Arthur Blank should apologize for his "Fried Chicken" comments in regards to Mike Vick.So, just to review. "Fried Chicken" now joins "Boy" as being racist.I'm surprised that more isn't being made of Rowdy Roddy's shirt.
There has been a racist overtone to the phrase fried chicken in reference to blacks for quite some time. I've never heard of the word boy as being racist.The Atlanta message boards, I swear I'm not making this up, have posts stating that Arthur Blank should apologize for his "Fried Chicken" comments in regards to Mike Vick.So, just to review.

I'm from the south, I'm fully aware of the fried chicken and watermelon stereotypes. Silly, stupid things, since most people are big eaters of both. But now, mentioning the words "fried chicken" in the same sentence with, or in reference to, a type of a food a black person might eat is now racist.The boy thing came from Ravens silliness last week, and of course there are some historical connotations to that relating to slavery, but I've certainly been called "boy" before and I'm pretty white. It's a pretty universal insult, especially in the south.I was merely referring to the hypersensitivity of people.There has been a racist overtone to the phrase fried chicken in reference to blacks for quite some time.

Has anything like that ever happened before? Wouldn't possession have needed to be challenged? The call on the field was made, and no booth review came (presumably because it didn't matter anyway). Why would it be changed?ps...Roddy owner, won my pointless game (already clinched a bye) by over 50 pts, so I have no stake in thisany roddy whiters afraid they'll over turn that hailmary b4 the half into an interception thus costing us all our wins?
Don't forget to add Reggie Williams to the comparison. I know Jax passing game is ugly, but Williams is putting up some impressive numbers!It will be interesting to see where he charts against Greg Jennings, another break out WR. Jennings is getting a lot more love because he has 7 more TDs, but White has more yards and more receptions (in one fewer game as of now).

I was shocked the booth didn't review that play. I didn't think there was possession until he fell over into the endzone! I can't believe there was no slow-motion replay. They reviewed a meaningless catch later in the 3rd Qtr for Joe Horn, but wouldn't review an AWESOME CATCH, that was possibly a TD!!!!!??????!!!!!!

Obviously it's been about 18 hours since I've seen it, but it was pretty clear to me that someone possessed it around the 1.5 yd line. I don't even remember White rolling into the endzone.I was shocked the booth didn't review that play. I didn't think there was possession until he fell over into the endzone!
