Black QBs In League

Firstly, I wanted to explain this cartoon. I might have missed the joke and laughed at the wrong thing. I laughed at Lucy saying, “His superior — a woman.” Maybe that is not what the joke is about. Did I miss the point? Sorry, ladies!

Maybe women look at men as dogs. Anyway…

Four Now Replaced By Whites

Since I wrote this article⬇️ four of those QB’s have been replaced by white QB’s:

New Orleans (Sept. 12, 2025) — Half of teams in the NFL have black starting QB’s. My thoughts include surprise. I knew that there were a number of black starting QB’s in the league, but I did not realize that number is now 16. That means that one-half of the league is led by black QB’s. Yes, I was surprised to hear that.

⬇️I rank the current tops⬇️

1. Lamar Jackson 2. Patrick Mahomes 3. Jalen Hurts 4. Jordan Love 5. Jayden Daniels. That’s enough for now. I will watch them as the season progresses to see if anything changes.

UPDATE: As of this writing (Nov. 4, 2025), five of these QB’s have been replaced because of injury or otherwise. Four of them by white QB’s.

Jayden’s Brutal Arm Injury

Gazette (Nov. 4, 2025) — Look at how QB Jayden Daniels’ left arm is bent backwards. Everyone was waiting for Jayden to have a great 2025 season. Sorrow is felt everywhere.

Mayfield Hates N.O. Saints

Tampa Bay QB Baker Mayfield does not like the New Orleans Saints. He proved it by beating the Saints 34-10 on Sunday, Oct. 26, 2025.

The Saints play Tampa Bay next⬇️ in Tampa on Dec. 7, 2025. I am praying that the Saints can get some revenge then for the Oct. 26th loss. Baker Mayfield laid some real pain on the Who Dats in the Superdome, for which Saints fans want retribution.

This⬇️ is how I feel, and so do many New Orleans fans. These are grim days in New Orleans.

Who is TEARING DOWN AMERICA?

Do not fear! I heard this.⬇️

The Lord is Our Hammer 

While I was meditating in my Zen hypnotic state, I saw these words: “The Lord of Hosts is not blind to the oppression that we are facing or to the injustices being committed by our oppressors. He will shatter and bring turmoil to our oppressors.The Lord of Hosts (the Lord of Armies) is your hammer and weapon of war. With Him you will break nations into pieces; you will destroy kingdoms. He is Sovereign over all armies. Abba, Our Father, is always the hammer of war for us believers.”

In 1917, Holy Mary appeared to three children in Fatima, Portugal, to tell them to pray for world peace and for the conversion of sinners.

Term Limits ⬇️

If Donald Ttump can ignore the term limits rule, surely can the Dems.

My Pool Table Skills

I have to fact check with my brother at what age he started shooting pool in the back of our cousin’s bar room. At the corner of St. Anthony St. and Claiborne Ave. in New Orleans was a bar room (Fat’s Bar) owned by a cousin of my Grandfather Sidney Cates. I, unlike my brother, was spending my time at other parts unknown. To this day, Carl can run circles around me on a pool table even though I had a pool tournament trophy on my living room shelf until Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans.

That is Louis Armstrong playing his horn if you click the arrow in the video⬇️ below. That is just a picture of my horn. I play songs of thanksgiving on my horn often about things.

My Cosmic Readings

I leaned on some of my psycho studies for my book, I HAVE A DREAM! https://a.co/d/0wPSoO5 >>You may also ask yourself if any of the pages in my book reveal answers to the collapsing world around us. Is our world sliding into hell in a hand basket? …and with whom?

I said that I write about some of my psycho studies in my book. P.S. I must explain to you here that since my book is a fictional story, I incorporated some of what I learned in my hypnotic sessions into the mystery that I wrote in the book. I reveal some Cosmic stuff while I spin my mystical tale.

I subsequently wrote some detective action into my follow-up book to this story. I called my next book THE TERROR SCROLLS in which a fine detective story is intertwined. Also, I have been reading through my book to see if some of my Zen-hypnotic interludes make a connection with the current scene.

The BIG BAD WOLF at work:

Is Little Red Riding Hood the only damsel whom the BIG BAD WOLF stumbles upon? I do not know if there is more to the old fairytale than we know or not. Well, I added more to the tale in my book, I HAVE A DREAM. Some people thought that my story was about me and a true story. That is why I like to mask every Halloween as the BIG BAD WOLF.

NOTE: What does this Trump-broken world need now? >>In my last hypnotic state, I saw many symbols and waves crisscrossing my view; and I saw the face of Jesus with deep, sorrowful eyes. When/if I can interpret this, I will put the link here 🔗 for you to read ⬇️⬇️. I also will see if, in the meantime, I can receive more cosmic readings.

👀 I saw what from the radio waves? 👀

“For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul”? Matt. 16:26
>>Donald Trump alluded to this about himself this week. My question is whether his mortality is (of recently) weighing upon his mind.

While I was meditating in my Zen hypnotic state, I saw these words: “The Lord of Hosts/Armies is your hammer and weapon of war. With Him you will break nations into pieces; you will destroy kingdoms. He is Sovereign over all armies.”

The name “Lord of Hosts” (the Lord of Armies) defines God’s power, authority and role as the ultimate commander of all of the armies of heaven, earth and all creation. Abba, Our Father, is always “the hammer of war” for us believers. The Lord of Armies is not blind to the oppression that we are facing or to the injustices being committed by our oppressors. He will shatter and bring turmoil to our oppressors.

Back in 1876 in France

In 1876 in France, Our Lady of Lourdes said to St. Bernadette, “You will pray to God for sinners and Penance.” Our Lady of Lourdes told St. Bernadette to pray for sinners and Penance for a change of heart of our oppressors. Our Lady saw how badly the Lord of Armies will shatter and bring turmoil to our oppressors.

Meanwhile, the situation in Trump world is fluid presently. Meaning that the jury is still out on his many immoral, illegal and unconstitutional acts. Looks like he stepped back from the brink in Iran. There are still many problems which I will study and report back to you about.

This is the map to where I live. I live on the Earth which looks like it is 3rd from the Sun.

I receive radio waves from the Universe.

This ⬇️⬇️ is the Shroud of Turin and what it would be like to see Jesus ALIVE and in motion.

This ⬇️⬇️ is a black and white negative of the original Shroud. The Shroud of Turin brings Jesus to life to me.

Meanwhile, I am praying for what history will say about the atrocities being committed in our days by Trump, the criminal against humanity… and now it looks like he is teaming up for a tag team with Israel to kill millions of people in Iran. ➡️UPDATE⬅️: Trump and Iran are back at the table. >>According to latest reports, Iran was years away from having the bomb. Why were Israel and Trump using the same old excuse to commit atrocities and kill millions of people? It is murder!

We can see the kind of man Donald Trump is by how he treats the children caught up in his deportation raids. People in California started protesting Trump’s immoral and Constitutionally illegal raids. So, Trump’s answer is to send in thousands of National Guard troops and Marines. Oh, my God! This is an invasion of California by insurrectionist Trump. He is a Nazi criminal.

Who is draft-dodger Trump saluting to at his 2025 birthday military parade? I enlarged the picture a little bit to see that there is no one there in those stands. ZILCH.

From my Psych 101 classes in college, the chapters on hypnotism piqued my interest in reading books about hypnotism and such. Studying what I read led me to try hypnosis, yoga meditation and eventually stuff like Zen and Eastern Meditation. The primary practice in Zen (mainly in China and Japan) is zazen, a form of seated meditation aimed at achieving a state of focused awareness and insight.

Eastern meditation, like in India for example, aims to detach the mind from the physical world to achieve a state of peace, enlightenment, or self-realization. It focuses on calming the mind, cultivating mindfulness, and potentially connecting with a divine or cosmic reality.

Using self-hypnosis/meditation(zazen) I one day reached a “portal” to the Cosmos where I saw what scientists call Fast-Burst radio waves from the Universe.

I shared information in a media comment where a contributor wrote how he reached what I call “the portal” in my sessions. I am not officially trained in meditation or hypnosis, but I have bought and read books about the 2 or 3 chapters that we studied in college Psych 101. So, I “experiment” with what others have learned with training. Similarly to how the person described above, I have meditated/hypnotized myself to receive what scientists call Fast-Burst radio waves from the Universe. My mind, however, is easily distracted. So, I play music sometimes (my trumpet or piano) to help me because some scientists call the radio waves of Cosmic readings “The Music of The Cosmos” or “The Music of The Heavens.”

Intercession by Mary

GAZETTE (September 2024) — I am saying a Hail Mary for the Saints to win on Sept. 22. Please!!! …beat Philly Eagles.

Recently, I saw a program on PBS TV about the National Shrine of Our Lady of Prompt  Succor in New Orleans on State Street. Many miracles are credited to Our Lady of Prompt Succor. Can Mary hear our prayers? The lady in the video gives the pertinent scriptures. Also by the way, The Shrine of Our Lady of Perpetual Help (another holy place testifying to miracles) is in Haiti.

The Assumption of Mary into heaven.

In the NFL, there are 2 famous Hail Mary plays which led to victories. There was Roger Staubach’s Hail Mary pass to win the playoffs, and there was the Immaculate Reception that Franco Harris caught for a playoff victory while his mother played her Ave Maria record at home. Now, there is my Hail Mary prayer that led to a miracle answer. I will expound upon this on tomorrow or another day. UPDATE: I wrote an explanation (more to come later) of the power of the intercessory prayers of Mary and how Our Lady of Prompt Succor answered me this week. https://delerygazette.org/2023/12/13/the-hail-mary/

Mary in 1917: What To Pray?

In 1917, Holy Mary appeared to three children in Fatima, Portugal, to tell them to pray for world peace and for the conversion of sinners.

When to Shut Up!

A thought from the past! My dad used to say:

My dad used to tell me similar words to Abraham Lincoln’s words below. He advised me that Silence is Golden when he brought me as a youngster on house calls with him where he repaired TV’s (and such) as an electrical technician.

Silence is golden:

Later in life, some of the pretty young girls who saw me when I was on-call with my dad remembered me. They looked me up once they grew up so fine and lovely. Who knew that they noticed me when I sat silently in their living room or den? Thank God that my dad had taught me to SHUT UP.

When I was a youngster:

The link below also  explains my nickname on another post. On Reply 2/2 at that post, I say to scroll down to see. NEVERMIND! Do not click the link “HOW DID I GET THE NICKNAME.” That is too much convoluted scrolling, etc. just to chase that rabbit down the rabbit hole. I just tried it again, and that is too hard  tracking behind that rabbit. DON’T DO IT. I already explained it enough right here, thank you.

A Note About Shutting Up!

Did the Supreme Court tell LADY JUSTICE (as in, the scales of American justice are equally balanced and blind) to shut up when it handed Donald Trump an illegal/unjust victory in the New York Attorney General’s case that he lost? With this current Supreme Court,  justice will never prevail when it comes to Trump. Justice does not prevail even when he loses in the lower courts.

A similar question ref: shutting up is posed about the 2 guys below:

Who are Democrats below alluding to who needs to remain silent in order to hide their foolishness? De Niro or Trump?

UPDATE: The picture disappeared from the link. I am working on correcting the link.

Meanwhile, in the picture below, I am saying a Hail Mary for intercessory prayer ref: a pickup truck for myself which I need for roof work and other things. I am reminded of when quarterback Roger Staubach prayed a Hail Mary for what became known as the Hail Mary pass to defeat Minnesota with a long bomb in the last minutes of their playoff game in the 1970’s.

Hail Mary full of grace the Lord is with thee!
Arch Manning (Peyton's nephew) didn't start for Texas in 2024.

Reports had said that 2023 starter Quinn Ewers was not guaranteed the starting QB job in 2024 if he came back.

N.O. Saints’ Dilemma.

UPDATE: ⚜️ The Saints are confirmed to be sticking with Dennis Allen and Derek Carr (as expected) through at least next season, but all rumors point to New Orleans moving on from Pete Carmichael as the offensive play caller. Long overdue.

What I previously wrote: Am I the only one who sees it? It is not Derek Carr at all. It is the way the stupid coaches stick Taysom Hill in and out at QB totally disrupting Carr’s momentum. They should play Taysom like everyone else… in the conventional, professional football way. Carr (and #JameisWinston) are fine if you stop yanking them in and out for Taysom in the middle of their offensive series. It is juvenile and #bushleague.

Leave Carr alone.
How did I get my nickname Ferdie Werdie?

My grandfather Sidney Cates gave me the nickname Ferdie Werdie when I was about 5 yrs old and it has stuck ever since.

I also put the answer on Twitter about who gave me my nickname.

N.O. Saints’ Dilemma

GAZETTE (Sept. 26) — I told y’all that it is dangerous playing around with hypnotism trying to reach the Cosmic Portal to get spiritual readings and such. I have been trying to get readings about the Saints games for y’all.

My trying to do self-hypnosis and readings with the limited tools that I have could be dangerous to me – could even kill me. That is what I have been picking up from the fast radio bursts in the Universe while trying to put myself under.

Two occurrences have happened with me over the last two weeks that have thrown my Cosmic “mojo” completely into a spin. I have been trying to work myself out of this. We have all heard that dealing with the spiritual realm in a laissez-faire manner can be very dangerous. It could kill you or send you into insanity (or worst).

Self-hypnosis and certain meditation methods might throw you into the wrong realm. I know that y’all have heard about the Bermuda Triangle (the Devil’s Triangle). What is it? I have “seen” from Fast intermittent radio Bursts that the Bermuda Triangle is a Portal on earth to another place or places. I know where, but I want to hold that close to my vest for now.

Meanwhile, what about Saints vs. Atlanta on Sept. 29:

MY TAKE on the Saints vs. Atlanta on Sept. 29 is relative to their NFL NETWORK Week 4 Power Ranking (still in the top 10) going into this game. On the Saint’s ranking going into Week 4: with their All Pro center out and w/o bruiser Taysom Hill available to make those all-important, tough yards for the valuable 1st downs, the Saints are a different team. They need those 2 tough guys in there to remain high in the rankings.

Carr needs his All-Pro center

A thought from the past! My dad used to say:

My dad used to tell me similar words to Abraham Lincoln’s below when he brought me as a youngster on house calls with him when he was a TV repairman.

Silence is golden!

Later in life, some of the pretty young girls who saw me when I was on-call with my dad remembered me. They looked me up once they grew up so fine and lovely. Who knew that they noticed me when I sat silently in their living room or den? Thank God that my dad had taught me to SHUT UP.

A Note About Shutting Up!

The guys below are referring to whom to shut up? De Niro or Trump?

New Orleans (2023) — Am I the only one who sees it? It is not Derek Carr at all. It is the way the coaches stick Taysom Hill in and out at QB totally disrupting Carr’s momentum. They should play Taysom like everyone else… in the conventional, professional football way. He is a wonderful bruiser for those tough yards and valuable first downs. Carr is fine if you stop yanking him in and out for Taysom in the middle of their offensive series. It is juvenile and #bushleague.

The Hail Mary

GAZETTE (October 28, 2024) — I am praying for a smooth and peaceful Presidential election on November 5.  America does not need another insurrection like in 2020, lasting until even now. The election-steal insurrection and lies are a stain upon the legacy of America. Plus, it is criminal.

Many people prayed on Sept. 11 for intercession to the ears of God during Hurricane Francine in Louisiana. Also, we pray for the victims of Hurricane Helene in Florida along the East Coast. “Sancta Marie (Holy Mary), pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen! ” — Our Lady of Prompt Succor.

Hail Mary full of grace the Lord is with thee!

In the picture below, I am saying a Hail Mary (Marie in French) for intercessory prayer, including: intercessory prayers for me of praise and thanksgiving. “I thank you, Abba Father. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are your works; and of that, my soul knows full well.” I am reminded of when quarterback Roger Staubach prayed a Hail Mary for what became known as the famous Hail Mary pass to defeat Minnesota with a long bomb in the last minutes of their playoff game in the ’70’s.

Hail Mary full of grace the Lord is with thee!

Mary is Marie in French!
In France, Marie is derived from the Latin Maria (Stella Maris) which means “star of the sea.” However, of course, it is also the biblical name Mary because it is the French version of the name Mary and Maria, the holy virgin mother of Jesus.

GAZETTE (Sept. 13) – I wanted to say that I am studying the verse from the Scriptures that led me to say that I walk today by faith and not by sight. I am considering that this might be my New Year’s resolution for 2024: to walk by faith and not by sight all of this year. That is why I am studying this verse in order to draw up my blueprint on how to do this. I will say more later on, and take you on a visit down this rabbit hole with me. Why did I say this, and why am I studying this verse from 2 Corinth. 5:7?

Meanwhile.

The Assumption of Mary is the belief that the Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ, was taken into heaven at the end of her life, body and soul. This is the glorious fruition which began when the Lord sent the Archangel Gabriel to appear to Mary when she was a teenager.

When the Archangel Gabriel was sent to Mary by the Father, he greeted her, “Hail Mary, full of grace; the Lord is with you” (Luke 1:28). Then, when Mary visited her cousin Elizabeth who was already pregnant with John the Baptist, John lept with joy inside of Elizabeth’s womb at the approach of Jesus inside of Mary. Elizabeth exclaimed, “Of all women you are the most blessed, and blessed is the fruit of your womb” (Luke 1:41-42).

The angel had said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And now, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you will name him Jesus. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his ancestor David. He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.”
Luke 1:30-33

The Church affirmed the divinity of Jesus.

The Council of Ephesus, the 3rd Ecumenical Council, confirmed that the Virgin Mary was not just Christ-bearer as Nestorius, Patriarch of Constantinople, declared, but also God-bearer because Jesus was God and Christ. Thus, the council added the third sentence and created the Hail Mary prayer.

The Hail Mary
Hail, Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

To this day, followers of Nestorius’ declaration and many Protestants dishonor Mary and the divinity of Jesus by refusing to accept the Hail Mary prayer when prayed by such “God-bearer” believers even though the mouths of the Archangel and cousin Elizabeth declared these very words in the Holy Scriptures.

This reel below sings the words of the angel in Latin to Mary. AVE MARIA!

Ship Back to Africa

Coming soon! I will explain how Donald Trump "packed" the Supreme Court in order to begin his rise as dictator.

GAZETTE (March 6, 2024) — I was 9 months deep into the Civil War in my reading (in 2013) of the book LINCOLN, upon which most of the hit movie was based. President Lincoln’s Plan at that point concerning captured or run-away slaves was to ship them back to Africa or some place in a climate congenial to them.

Frederick Douglas said what?

This is what freedman Frederick Douglas intuitively said about Lincoln’s Colonization plan: “The president does not understand that the black man is an American with no desire to live elsewhere. His attachment to the place of his birth is stronger than iron.”

Furthermore, since the beginning of the war, Douglas avowed that nothing would terrify the South like the vision of thousands of former slaves wielding weapons on behalf of the Union Army.” He continued, “The very fact of color in this case would be more terrible than powder and balls,” and that the survival of the nation depended upon enlisting the “slaves and free colored people into the army. We are striking the rebels with our soft white hand, when we should be striking with the iron hand of the black man, which we keep chained behind us. We have been catching slaves instead of arming them.”

Saints 2023 Record

Gazette (May 2023) — See the link below where AI predicts that the SAINTS will have an 11-6 record. I predict a 6-11 record because the nincompoop offensive coordinator keeps sticking 4th string QB Tayson Hill in at QB every 3 or 4 plays, disrupting the starting QB’s mojo. Too stupid! Otherwise, the Saints would have made the playoffs last year.

AI predicts the 2023 records of all teams at this link:

https://thesportsdrop.com/cl/predicting-every-nfl-teams-win-loss-record-in-2023?utm_source=JL_Facebook&utm_medium=Facebook&utm_campaign=JL_Schedule_ALL4a_FB_PM10&fbclid=IwAR30cfTE0HB0ccr16WTapkH5sbwqbQCreoFkrUY22bzBGDvW1GM7AUE6zGg_aem_th_AXB3gANHQTj1KzRdxlX7rO_5bxmpau1pPYpZzB4G2VJIesoVtB4jCfxZ-vwK35wPm6jeRK1UblsiPxBIyDJRfw3e

I do not think so.

With AI help, these predictions have the SAINTS in rarefied air at 11-6 this season. I personally still doubt the Saints’ offensive-coaching brain power. The team’s talent could win the Super Bowl, but the Saints’ offensive scheme is feeble-minded. I see a 6-11 record. Geaux #7 Taysom Hill at QB, TE, RB, punt-k/o returner, wide receiver, offensive in-and-outer who could help power-run the Saints to the Super Bowl if he were played correctly. SURELY NOT IN-AND-OUT AT QUARTERBACK! To keep putting Taysom (4th string QB) in-and-out last year when Andy Dalton and Jameis Winston were the field generals is as bone-headed as I have seen in professional football.

What do the experts say about the Saints' coaching?
Meanwhile, for me... WOMEN? WOMEN! WOMEN!


This is how I look snagging a fine woman.
