colin kaepernick....this black and white cookie is shitting the bed

I’m

It’s weird that I see Fangio and Kap trending and thought if Fangio loses his job, it would be for the exact same reason as why Kap couldn’t get another. Two sides of the same coin. You can’t be polarizing and average. Its simply not worth the headache when it’s a business.

No blackball required. You black ball yourself.

You can easily replace average without the headache. Being right or wrong is irrelevant when you piss off 50% of your customers or most of your employees in a league that requires talent over everything else.

You’re Vic fucking Fangio. You work at the assistant level for all those years, finally get a HC gig at 60, go 7-9 in one season, and somehow get involved in a race discussion as the country burns? How the fuck did you end up commenting on that shit? Throw your winning lottery ticket that you waited 30 years for on one of the burning buildings.

Hopefully he keeps his job, but it somehow escaped you that many guys in the league describe it as modern day slavery? It doesn’t matter if you’re right and they’re coddled compared to us who live in the real world. If you’re Belichik, you’re fine. If you’re Vic Fangio, you better hope your guys really love you.

Every time I’ve seen Kap rumored to go somewhere I struggle to see why any team would want the headache for a guy who was limited and you had to game plan around at his peak to maximize what he did well, and a backup now.

I’m consistently surprised when these people step on their own dicks with polarizing political statements or even a benign one.

You should be forced to take a Dixie Chicks course when you attain any prominence in life. Watch the story of three chicks who started half a billion dollars on fire, and even later when 90% of the world agrees with you and think the war in Iraq was retarded, you’ll still be irrelevant and won’t get the $ back.

I’ve never felt that strongly about a political or societal issue to fuck up my life over it. I couldn’t imagine bringing my feelings to work if I had a dream gig at the top of the sports world.

The flow chart basically is, are you in the conversation for the greatest of all time? If yes, knock yourself out. If no, shut up.

Right or wrong has no relevance.

If you want to be BLM or MAGA guy at work, you better be LeBron or Brady.

Do you think Brees has the cache to survive the inevitable shitstorm coming at him?

Also, I didn't even remember the Broncos went 7-9. If you had asked me I would have guessed 4-12. Considering how little productivity they had at QB and WR last year, that is actually fairly impressive all things considered. Of course I am guessing it helped they got to play the Chargers and Raiders 2x.

I don’t know about Brees. We are kind of at ground zero atm of race relations. It feels impossible to fathom him in a locker room atm, but I’m sure he’s really glad he stayed in New Orleans.

I couldn’t imagine him going into a new locker room. In New Orleans, assuming the management is behind him, I’d guess you better fall in line if you want to make your $.

The better question is if they would sign him again if they had a do over? I looked at his contract and it seems the base is only $2 million and the rest is some prorated signing bonus, which I believe means they really couldn’t afford to do anything but keep him as that’s basically guaranteed I think. I’m bad with NFL contracts. That’s the way I read it.

I see Malcolm Jenkins posted a video that told him to stfu and basically saying he no longer considers him a friend and now he took it down. I can’t imagine it’s good for team chemistry.

It’s amazing how badly I miss sports, but I agree with your comment that it will be incredibly annoying with all the constant bullshit.

Either way, he’s smart to wait until this point where he really should be retired anyway. He’s made $244 million in his career, so if you want to make a statement that might force you out, that’s the time to do it. Honestly you’re probably a damn idiot to be playing into your 40s when you’ve made a quarter billion dollars.

I couldn’t remember if he was 41 or 42 already so I went to look at his wiki.

This showed up on my search bar. It’s already edited back to normal.


“Drew Christopher Brees is a white supremacist and American football quarterback, for the New Orleans Saints of the National Football League (NFL). He had a successful college ...”


That doesn’t bode well for him at all, but who knows when tempers die down. Lockdown straight into race riots has made this the most annoying time I can ever recall in American culture. You go from feeling horrible for a guy who got killed to wanting to never have to hear his name again, and I think I’ve had my tv on for about 15 minutes in the last 5 days. Everyone annoys me on every channel because it’s completely overboard regardless of what political party or channel you happen to be watching.

It would be nice to think sports would be a reprieve, but the thing I was most looking forward to in the short run-the completion of NBA- will be the absolute worst of all the leagues. They might add 15 minutes to halftimes just for all the pandering and rename the championship trophy for the dude.

All I want to do outside getting some work done is play more golf and go to the gym while listening to podcasts about five days a week and leave my tv off. I might have to take up fishing or something where I don’t have to listen to people talking if I need to kill more time. It’s beyond insufferable.
