Kaepernick is maybe nominally better than them (I’d rather have Bortles), but most of them won’t be playing on a weekly basis and none of them force the coaching staff and the other players on the roster to answer questions that have little to do with football, thereby taking away from the team’s potential success as…

How so? It’s not a concern to the bottom line, but about avoiding a distracting media scrum on a daily basis. It’s only cowardice in the sense that teams think that signing him will make it harder to win. If a team thought they would have greater success by signing him, they would.

I don’t think teams are afraid of the “backlash.” Rather, they don’t want to deal with the hassle. They’re not afraid of boycotts etc., they don’t want the extra attention. Pribably because they are more commonplace, criminal offenses don’t stay in the news cycle as long as the Kaepernick saga has. He’s made it clear…

“Clearly this guy doesn’t have tee-dubya-tee-dubya. I remember in ‘05, Paulie got run over by the team bus and still made it out for some BP. Now that was a guy....”

The Chicago style dog (onions, relish, tomato, sport pepper, pickle spear, celery salt) is a can’t miss. That said, anyone who bitches about someone else putting ketchup on is an asshole and should be shot.

I wouldn’t say that the owners are “colluding” in anyway. That would mean they are actively plotting and working together to not sign Kaepernick.

As was mine, but then I thought, “nah... it’s middling at best.”

. . . I like you.

Oh, there’s no doubt about that. Harrelson has shown open disdain for him over the years and sooo many Sox fans think Hawk can do no wrong.

Just come to terms with the fact that, despite his flaws, Steve Stone is drastically better at his job than Hawk Harrelson.

Does that mean Shaun King is white after all?

Are we entirely certain that Vince McMahon isn’t the mastermind behind this fight?

Disheartened because the Cubs got Quintana, or because the Sox dealt him?

I’m sure you guys will be thrilled to know that a couple of the guys from barstool actually specified that Jimenez and Cease would be going to the White Sox for Quintana 2 hours before that post was made. . .

Uh... Coolest logo in sports? It’s solid, but it’s not even the coolest Midwestern NHL team logo.

Fair enough.

She accelerated through a red light and stopped in the intersection. Yes, the other driver should have been able to avoid her car, but that that doesn’t mean Venus wasn’t at fault there.

“Racist.”

I wish that was the case. Unfortunately, there are still a LOOOTTT of people who value those wins over anything else.

Well, Venus would be waaaaaay below 700. Serena is at that level.
