True, and I stole that from them. Seriously, has a QB ever wanted pressure up the middle?
Brady & Manning's record when sacked 5+ times is actually pretty pedestrian. Are we sure they're even all that great?
Kaepernick takes a knee and is blackballed from the NFL. Kareem Hunt beats the sh!t out of a woman..

When it comes to color analysts, most are either 1) trying to get back in the league and are afraid to say anything or 2) feel they must dumb it down for us morons. As much as I did not like Romo as a QB, he is light years better than all the other color guys.

What do these TV NFL analysts have in common...Aikman, Bradshaw, Gannon, Simms, Theisman, Griese, Young, Romo (to name a few) ?.
All former quarterbacks who have helped make NFL quarterbacks both overpaid and overrated in importance.

Hate the Cowboys. I was a brief Cowboy fan, my dad rooted for the Pack in the Ice Bowl so I liked Dallas. That lasted a couple years, then the whole America's Team thing annoyed me. I still liked them ok until Jones bought them. I may be the last person in America who hates brash arrogance, but I do. I like quiet incompetence like Mike Brown
.
Romo was an excellent QB despite spending a lot of his career behind bad offensive lines. When he finally had a good O line and running game he broke his back. He had something left in the tank when he retired, but he and the Cowboys probably did the right thing by moving past the Romo era.

Agree. I think he was an excellent QB. His stats are borderline HoF-worthy but he doesn’t deserve that honor. Very good player on some really bad squads.
Now there’s a report that the AAF approached Kap about playing in their league and he asked for 20 million or more. When the standard salary is 3 years, 250,000 dollars.
He wouldn’t get that even in the NFL.
I still contend the dude has no interest in playing.

So the NFL has reached a deal with him and Reid. Basically I guess they pay him not to pay. Not a bad gig if you can get it. If they pay me, I won't play.
I keep seeing people say this. Why?
That’s literally the reason he gave for kneeling.
“I can’t show respect to the flag of a country that oppressed millions of its own citizens”.
That was HIS QUOTE.
Are you saying he was lying?
Looking at that quote, where does he say he down not respect police, fire, military? He is unhappy with the country, that does not necessarily equate to those other things he is accused of.
All that stuff can be debated.
What cannot be debated is that he didn’t intend to disrespect the flag.
It's clear the only color that matters to Kapernick is green
If you’re really interested in furtherance of your agenda, regardless of what it is, you don’t settle and sign a confidentiality agreement with the entity that you’re fighting.
Whatever you think of Kap, it’s clear that the NFL offered to write him a check to shut up and he took it.
If I wanted to go all the way to prove a point, I wouldn't settle for money. I would win my case.
Some whataboutism: You mean like Trump settled Trump U and most of his other lawsuits?
I’ll be interested to see what Kap does next. I’ll be interested to see what the AA community thinks about the settlement. Also if he makes a statement and does something with a good portion of the money, as he has done in the past.
He’s sure as hell not doing anything regarding the NFL colluding against him. He can’t.
He never really could. His case was one that always going to be impossible to prove. You think they were going to find tapes, texts or emails? It’s more likely something everyone knew, but impossible to prove.

The thing is...you never would because the guy you were talking about is yourself.
Lurker said Kap wasn’t disrespecting the flag.
I pointed out that Kap SAID he was disrespecting the flag.
It’s pretty simple, yes?

I’m on the side of thinking what he was doing was a bad idea because it’s got very little upside and too much downside in the long run.
That being said “can’t show respect to the flag” <> “disrespect”.
I am sure some will be happy about this, an 11 year old arrested for because teacher is ignorant of constitution not requiring standing for Pledge*.

Jehovah Witnesses don’t stand for the pledge. Wonder if they’ll get arrested?
Kap did his civic duty.
The federal tax collectors will will get a payday. If Kap still lives in California the state gets a big cut too. Then the attorneys will probably get something like one-third, and the attorney's pay taxes on the fee. All in all, the settlement is a good day for the government Kap disrespects. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
That is the only story on it I have seen, and it says that is the reason the police were called. Would Fox lie? If you have a story showing police were called for other reasons, I will happily retract.
