Its funny that we joke about him being white. But if someone makes a remark about having a black QB then all hell breaks loose.
lol true but at first i was like WTF then i saw he was white wand thought hey maybe it will be all right.......

black or white or mulatto (that ain't a bad word), as long as they can ball, i don't care.

and that whole white WR thing don't jive anymore-especially after we see the amazing welker destroy defenses week in and week out. hell, i can name helal white receivers i liked through the years:

bebe, juroviscious (sp?), largent, clark, prohel (sp?), mccaffrey...

I wouldn't call that a drop. That's a strip. There is a difference.

Swain was instrumental in the Packers' dismantling of the Falcons. Had some nice catches in a similar system.

Good signing.

Good pick up. PS player from the Green Bay Packers, which means he has experience with the WCO.

i like this pick up better than the older vets with lots of tred on the tires, if he was good enough to be active during the sb for the pack (not just on the 53) then he'll be good enough to fill a #4 role for a game or two

Mulatto is so ... dated. Not really bad but no one says that anymore. It's like saying "colored".

I like to stick with Oreo personally.

Swain played at SDSU.

I think Harbaugh coached a University of San Diego, not San Diego State University.

Good ST guy, which is what his main job will be this week. Emergency WR IMO.

This guy hasn't done anything, he is just an emergency. If anything, they could have signed Lebron James and he would have probably be more valuable than this guy. At 6-8 and his wingspan at least Lebron won't lose any jumballs if you loft it up to him. Would be good for red zones and 3rd and 8-10. If anything would be entertaining. BTW Lebron did play WR in high school.

Like the video report said-Lebron should stay away from the eagles and their dream team-haha
