Kaepernick remains unemployed

[Black Diamond]

The hilarious thing is that Kaepernick voluntarily 'opted out' of $14.5 million of salary for 2017, just so he could become the free agent that he will remain for the forseeable future. I guess he really thought some team would make him their starting QB. If he hadn't opted out, the Niners would have had to pay him the $14.5 million whether they played him or not. Lololol!

I am actually surprised he hasn't been picked up.

I am, and then again no. Whoever said it earlier, if he was better than 3d string, someone would probably have picked him up. As it stands, you have to weigh the value of a 3d string QB against the baggage he brings. He's a PR nightmare.

I just don't see it. If he plays, my bet's it'll be because someone gets injured and they need a QB in a hurry.

I thought I heard he had decent numbers last year ? I thought this was political and rightfully so.

I honestly don't know the specific reason(s). I hope he never plays another down. Look at him the same way I do these Hollyweird types that use their access to the media to spout off their political views. I won't knowingly pay to watch or own their crap.

I pay to watch professional football players play football. Do your politics on your own damned time. And if you're going to disrerspect my Nation? Get the f- out. Go somewhere ypu can be proud of like Venezuela.

I skipped the whole season because of it. Turned It on during the playoffs. Thing is, others will follow CrappyDick's lead now.

I hit and miss NFL football. I might catch a game here and there if there is absolutely nothing on. I basically quit watching when the Patriots won their first SB. I smelled a rat. They beat Oakland Pittsburgh in the playoffs by some ridiculous officiating. A couple of months after 9/11 what better named team to go to the SB that "the Patriots"? I called bullshit and the NFL lost a fan. I already thought their officiating sucked going back to the 80s.

KappedOffDick is is just another reason to not watch it.

I actually turned it on for playoffs in the hopes Brady could the screw the commissioner by winning it all. And because nfl fans hate Brady and New England.

[Gunny]

Another reason is the NFL itself. I think that crap with Tom Brady was just that ... crap. And I don't like the Patriots at all. And this holier than thou crap with how players should behave off the field because they're "role models". Role models for WHAT?

Adrian Peterson gets suspended for spanking his kid too hard but the NFL does nothing to Kapperdick? Whose role model is he? Every leftwingnut, spoiled little baby that disrespects the Nation that allows them to?

and let's not forget Ray Rice getting a one game suspension for punching his fiancé out and dragging her out of an elevator. That was a one game suspension before tmz leaked the video.

Here's my role model ... down 35 to zip and I make ONE (count them) good play and I'm going to dance all in your backfield like I just made the play that won the Superbowl ...

... or just as bad, we're kicking your butt 35-0 and dance all in your backfield talking trash because you're the SB champions playing the Cleveland Clowns. I know I'm impressed when I beat a team that can't beat anyone but itself.

[Elessar]

The 'dancing' and celebrating has gotten out of hand.

What happened to just flipping the ball to the Ref after scoring, a la
Jim Brown or John Riggins?

What happened to simply returning to the defensive huddle after
a sack or tackle for a loss?

If I wanted to watch Dancing With The Stars, I would tune that in.

I don't have any idea. I never played like that as a kid, in HE nor in the Marine Corps. Our own coach would've kicked our butts. I played defense and we just went back to the huddle. I really don't think any of us ever even thought of acting like that. I'd let laying your a$$ out do my talking. All it takes is the next play to put egg on your face.

What gets me is how they run away from their team mates after a TD, to be sure they stand out even more

Abbey. Guess you forgot. Most of them are nothing but overgrown children who may have graduated from a college, but threw all of their education away for a TV roll, a bank account, and the ability to BEAT THEIR WIVES???
