I was just hearing someone yesterday saying that a reason for all these various tendons just blowing for no apparent reason is that football player muscles are so very overdeveloped and strong, that they’ve overtaken the ability of the tendons to cope with them. Like, they (the tendons) just can’t expand and contract…

Yes, I remember he got a bit teary because he wanted to go to the 49ers so bad but they passed him up. For Alex Smith, I believe.

How do you know he hasn’t done anything about it? I mean, seriously, by what means do you know? If he just quietly went about doing some things, would you know? He’d been sitting, apparently, since the start of the preseason, but it was only noticed at game three. He wasn’t making a fuss about it. So, I’m just wanting…

That is exactly the essence of what’s happening. I have heard exactly one person talk about what Kaepernick’s actual point is, and I’ve listened to sports radio call in shows a lot over the last week. One person. Everyone else wants to talk about standing up or sitting down and how they feel about their relative…

There’s nothing irrational about that anger, friend.

Why would you get up at 10 AM for football, when you can stay in bed at 10 AM for football?

Sorry, didn’t see this before. I imagine it would fit somewhere under sex addiction or whatever they call the need to expose oneself in public.

I don’t see any button on your list of most effective charities page that lists charities involved in working for environmental and/or animal welfare.

You’ve got James Harrison down for Jesus then? Because that’s not totally working for me.

Well, it looks like we have our answer about what she’s going to do about it, whatever it is it can continue to be so on it’s own.

I didn’t say it was. I said it might be, and queried what to do if it were. I will leave the obligatory observation about reading comprehension up to your imagination.

Well, that’s the thing about compulsions or addiction or whatever this is (if it is that, and not just really dickish behavior), right? They don’t make sense. If it’s a mental illness I doubt there’s any rules they’ve agreed on or she’s given him permission for anything because it’s not a hobby it’s an illness. It’s…

This is true. It seems kind of passive aggressive, actually. Of course, he may have an actual compulsion that he can’t control and she may understand that.

why not?

The clues are starting to add up, aren’t they?

Why’s that?

Yes, wasn’t it his first year as the starter? We were watching it in Seattle and we were rooting for Seattle and we still felt kind of bad for him. Well...I did. My husband didn’t.

I CAN’T STAND IT. WHY DOES HE KEEP GOING BACK OUT THERE? CAN’T HIS FAMILY TIE HIM UP BEFORE THE PRESEASON AND LET HIM LOOSE IN JANUARY?

Didn’t take long to collect enough materiel for the Burke vindication post, I see.

Well, it’s Kaepernick that addressed the elephant. It’s just me that’s trying to explain what he said to ol’ registeredsexmachine up there. Beats me why it needs to be explained when Kaep said exactly what he meant, but here we are.
