Steve Scalise - White Supremacists Angry He Said 2002 Speech Was Mistake Louisiana Republican House Whip Steve Scalise first said he never gave a speech to a group called "the European-American Unity and Rights Organization" or "EURO" in 2002, and now says he did, has come under fire from White Supremacists. In retaliation for calling his visit a "mistake" that he would not have made had he known what EURO was about, several White Supremacists have taken to make postings on the racist website Stormfront, reposting messages about his meeting in 2002. This is what one of them reads: "A New Breeding of National Activism Much to the chagrin of his opposition, or as some within the explosive mix of colonial spirit describe it, oppressors, finds Vincent Breeding, National Director for EURO, the European- American Unity and Rights Organization. One of many white civil rights organizations to emerge during an era of leftist purging of thought and gross double-standards that remove personal responsibility, Breeding brings a new charisma and impetus for carpe diem. The evidence of whites of European origin asserting both their Constitutional, as well as, God-given rights abounds, in the absence of recognition from the NY Times, Washington Post or the Times-Picayune. EURO’s recent national convention held in the greater New Orleans area was a convergence of ideas represented by Americans from diverse geographical regions like California, Texas, New Jersey and the Carolina’s. This indicates that concerns held are pervasive in every sovereign state and Republic alike, within an increasingly diminishing view of where America stands on individual liberty for whites. In addition to plans to implement tactical strategies that were discussed, the meeting was productive locally as State Representative, Steve Scalise, discussed ways to oversee gross mismanagement of tax revenue or “slush funds” that have little or no accountability. Representative Scalise brought into sharp focus the dire circumstances pervasive in many important, under-funded needs of the community at the expense of graft within the Housing and Urban Development Fund, an apparent give-away to a selective group based on race. There was also a call for the many women active in the movement to not only let their voice be heard, but their presence known. Recognizing the duties placed on white mothers to maintain decreasing birth rates, it was an appropriate call to arms to emphasize the unity message forming the basis of EURO. " In total, the messages, which you can see here, show that Steve Scalise certainly did know something about the group he talked before. Stay tuned.

Oakland Raiders - Pep Hamilton Should Be Head Coach For Derek Carr According to ESPN, The Oakland Raiders seek permission to interview Indianapolis Colts Offensive Coordinator and former Stanford Offensive Coordinator Pep Hamilton. This is huge because of all of the coaching candidates the Raiders will talk to, Pep is best qualified to coach Derek Carr and mold him into a star. Just ask Andrew Luck. It was Luck who was instrumental in bringing Pep to the NFL and together they have built one of the league's most consistently effective offenses. Luck is the touchdown pass leader. But Hamilton has had experience in the NFL and as a QB coach with the Jets and Chicago Bears and San Francisco 49ers. He will bring the modern version of the Bill Walsh Offense to Oakland and make Carr a league leader and winner. The Raiders should hire Pep before the 49ers get a clue and grab him.
Ndamukong Suh Wins Appeal Of NFL Suspension Ndamukong Suh Wins Appeal Of NFL Suspension For Stepping On Aaron Rogers. Detroit Lions Defensive Tackle Ndamukong Suh won his appeal of the NFL suspension that would have kept him out of Sunday's Wild Card Game against the Dallas Cowboys, and for stepping on Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rogers. Here's the press release from the National Football League: ONE-GAME SUSPENSION FOR NDAMUKONG SUH REDUCED TO $70,000 FINE ON APPEAL Ted Cottrell, the hearing officer in the appeal of Ndamukong Suh of the Detroit Lions of his one-game suspension, has reduced the discipline to a $70,000 fine. Cottrell is jointly appointed and compensated by the NFL and NFL Players Association to hear and decide appeals for on-field player discipline. Suh was suspended on Monday for one game without pay by NFL Vice President of Football Operations Merton Hanks for violating safety-related playing rules prohibiting unnecessary roughness. Suh is now eligible to play in Detroit’s Wild Card playoff game on Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys.
In Jee York Trent Baalke 49ers Press Conference Lowell Cohn Out Of Line. The press conference held by 49ers President Jed York and General Manager Trent Baalke on Black Monday and to talk about the release of Jim Harbaugh was a disaster. There is no way to get around the fact that Jim Harbaugh should not have been allowed to leave the 49ers. But he was. Everyone is upset but that is no reason to be nasty to Jed York and yet that is what Press Democrat columnist Lowell Cohn was. If you watch the video Lowell takes Jed to task for a Twitter tweet Jed issued apologizing for the 49ers performance. I understood Jed's motivations at the time. He was pissed the Seattle Seahawks wiped his 49ers all over the floor of their own brand new stadium. The tweet was kind, I thought. But Lowell said to Jed that he should learn class. That was bad. I am not Jed York's buddy but I can say he and his father have been nothing but kind and classy toward me. Did not matter if I was trying to bring the Super Bowl to Oakland or covering an NFL meeting. To me the sports media should always be classy toward the people it covers. Lowell crossed that line. Jed did not deserve that. Stay tuned.

Coach Mangini was the head coach with the New York Jets and then the Cleveland Browns. He has a 33 and 48 record. Mangini had two 5 and 11 seasons with the Browns before Mike Holmgren canned him. Players said they didn't like his coaching style. Why are the Raiders talking to Mangini? Plenty of good black coaches out there. Stay tuned.

Ndamukong Suh Steps On Rogers Ankle NFL Suspends Suh. Detroit Lions Defensive Tackle Ndamukong Suh stepped on Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rogers Ankle during the Lions v Packers game on Sunday. Suh has drawn and suspension from the NFL. And this is the press release from the league: Defensive tackle NDAMUKONG SUH of the Detroit Lions has been suspended without pay for this Sunday’s Wild Card playoff game against the Dallas Cowboys for a violation of safety-related playing rules in last Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers. In the fourth quarter with Packers quarterback AARON RODGERS on the ground in a defenseless posture, Suh backed up and stepped on Rodgers’ left leg with his right foot. He then stepped on Rodgers’ left leg again, this time with his left foot, applying pressure and unnecessarily pushing off Rodgers’ unprotected leg with his left foot, violating playing rules prohibiting unnecessary roughness. The suspension was imposed by NFL Vice President of Football Operations MERTON HANKS. Hanks ruled that Suh engaged in a non-football act which placed his opponent, Rodgers, at unnecessary risk of injury – specifically the second step and push off, which could have been avoided. In his letter to Suh, Hanks noted, “You did not respond in the manner of someone who had lost his balance and accidentally contacted another player who was lying on the ground. This illegal contact, specifically the second step and push off with your left foot, clearly could have been avoided.” Hanks further noted “you unnecessarily stepped on your opponent’s unprotected leg as he lay on the ground unable to protect himself.” Suh will not be permitted to attend team meetings and functions; attend or watch practices; appear at the club’s facilities for any reason; attend press conferences; appear at the team’s January 4 game, or have contact with any club personnel except to arrange off-site medical treatment or rehabilitation. Suh will be reinstated on Monday, January 5. Under the Collective Bargaining Agreement, the suspension may be appealed within three business days. Appeals are heard and decided by either DERRICK BROOKS or TED COTTRELL, the officers jointly appointed and compensated by the NFL and NFLPA to decide appeals of on-field player discipline. Stay tuned.
