I think Kaep should stick to product endorsements that match his image, like tampoons, vinegar douches, along with Johnson and Johnson (no more tears) baby shampoo.

Ravens ownership is deep in discussions on signing Kaepernick - so much so that they'd actually involved Lewis in the dialogue. And the day before he's set to fly out there, his girlfriend posts a meme comparing Ray Lewis to Stephen the house slave and the Ravens team owner to DiCaprio's slave owner character in Django Unchained. I mean come the **** on. Kaepernick has been his worst enemy at virtually every stage in these proceedings. Was he kept out of the league because of his politics? Sure. It wasn't exclusively because the kneeling, though. It was the Pigs socks. And the Castro shirt (and his unbelievably ignorant and tone-deaf argument with the Miami Herald on account of it). It's the attention whoring and Kunta Kinte attire. This guy's a radical activist first, a football player second. And if you're an NFL owner you simply do not want to deal with that shit unless this guy is going to be a slam-dunk difference maker. Is Colin Kaepernick capable of being one of the 30 best QBs in football? Sure thing. Is the 22nd best quarterback in the sport worth the bullshit he'll bring with him? Nope. Colin's good enough for the league. Is he also good enough for the baggage he INSISTS on bringing with him? No, no he is not. He's not a victim of circumstance; it's baggage of his own making and he simply isn't good enough to do that.

Or again, was it immediately after a loss where he attempted to manufacture a quarterback controversy between his young QB that has kept the Panthers season on the rails and a veteran malcontent who hasn't played a game in over 1,000 days? No, Eric Reid isn't a guy that just kneels in silent protest. He's a guy who goes on Twitter and stirs shit with members of the national media. He's a guy who started a fight on the field with a dude he called a "Cornball" for actually trying to work with the NFL on a project that has raised tens of millions for African American causes. Eric Reid isn't quite the grandstanding clown that Kaepernick is, but if you think he's just some quiet monk who believes what he believes, then you're not paying any attention. When the Chiefs managed to keep things tracking true for a couple weeks with Matt Moore, you can bet your ass that if Eric Reid's on this team he's out there crowing about how we should be signing Colin Kaepernick instead of doing what Moore's teammates did here and supporting him. Guys like Reid are always fine when things are going well but the moment adversity strikes they use it as an excuse for their platform and that's when they make things an issue. Oh - and he'd be the 4th best safety on this squad while carrying a cap figure of $4.4 million and carrying $5 million in dead money if released next season. Reid isn't good. He isn't cheap. He isn't just 'silently protesting'. You're pretty much out to lunch on all points here.

Did he wear his pig-cop socks to his workout? It's the ONLY thing that matters. I salute the 49er's for playing this fool out of his GUARANTEED contract. BRILLIANT! CK got played, big time. He has nobody to blame but himself. Does anybody really even care what CK is doing these days anymore?

He wasnt just better than Jordan Lucas and unmotivated berry. He was miles better. You don't think that wouldn't have made a difference in a playoff game where we lost to new England literally by inches in a defensive collapse? His extension isn't that expensive and while not a superstar, you're exaggerating how bad he is. He was worth at least a look. Other than the recent Kyle allen thing how in the world did any of his antics negatively impact his team? And how in the world is Reid lobbying for Kaepernick any different from Matthieu recruiting Patrick Peterson or claiming "we need more Dawgs"? I guess I'm supposed to be outraged by these kinds of antics. I'm not saying Eric Reid was a can't miss superstar. But we all know why the Chiefs didn't go after him. And it had nothing to do with ability, chemistry, or fear of suspension. I'd be curious to hear how Eric Reid wouldn't have helped us in 2018. |

Slight amendment, the guy is a pussy hound, whose particular snapping gyro pressures him to be an activist, who happens to have had some football talent at some point.

It seems like the logical conclusion of horseface's moves.

Politics and sports are poor bedfellows. Always were. Always will be.
I'm keen on athletes entering politics after their professional careers. In fact, I think it's an excellent field of activity after experiencing the sacrifice, hard work, and competition found in sports. However, when you're an active player who is apparently more interested in personal brand-building than the core issue you espouse and promote, it usually fosters counter-productivity. It seems to me that Kapperdink is one of those guys who has gotten a lot of bad advice for a long time. FAX |

Is that really a good enough reason not to have signed him in 2018? Even bigger stretch. It's very hard to believe Eric Reid wouldn't have been high reward in 2018 at almost no $. |
