yeah i know who he is, was being sarcastic. Kaep's convicted to blame cops for all ills, but wont say boo about this guy

Yes, and thanks to Kaep for shedding light on the real problem here. Funny how the NFL is glad to have players expressing a certain political point of view, but when the cowboys wanted to put stars on their helmets for the Police that died over the summer in Dallas, the NFL said absolutely not. strange, that!

Yeah, I mean, I get where you're going, but if you take it at face value, MD obviously isn't in game shape yet, and overdid it. Hammys can be tricky injuries, and sometimes seem to happen even if you're doing everything right with stretching and so on. My feeling based on my own training is that if I'm spending a lot of time lifting weights, doing squats and hammy curls, but not running, then i tend to hurt my hammys when I start to run again, no matter how much I stretch beforehand. Big guys tend to neglect the aerobic conditioning/running in favor of weight work, at least normal guys, maybe not NFL players. Your point is well taken though, in that especially since MD didn't actually go to rehab, he ought to be in teh best shape of his life, but I have a feeling that he slacked pretty hard and just turned it on a week or two ago

seconding this, I feel like MG could break out, if TT could get him the ball. One of his catches in particular, he had to turn his whole body around streaking over the middle, if TT leads him, it's an easy TD, as it was, he was barely able to hang on because the throw was behind him and the play ended right there. Then the overthrow down the left sideline last week, last year TT was more accurate on the long ball, it seems like anyways

maybe the thread title should be "Coming Sunday to New Era Stadium in Orchard Park New York, your Buffalo Bills host the San Francisco Vegans and Misguided Attempt to Please His Activist Girlfriend" it has a certain ring to it

OK, I was speaking from a law enforcement/public policy perspective, from inside the law enforcement community. You're playing contrarian rabbit, which is your right, and seems to line up with your personality otherwise. Good job, I guess?

Great, your anecdote is definitely way better than the reams of actual crime statistics, upon which actual laws and public policy are built, you win again!

I don't know texas but I'm an IT consultant to Law Enforcement in the NE. I'll tell you this strait up - carry permit holders don't commit crimes, period. The vast vast vast vast vast majority of handgun crime is committed with illicit pistols. Long guns are little different story, but again, the guys you see at the rod and gun club, or at the local gun store, aren't the ones committing crimes.

I bet you're a riot at parties Yeah you and your buddy are really fixated on the one line in a paragraph, talking about how Kaep's focus has mostly been on how to get more attention on Kaep, and maybe not so much on how to halt his downward spiral from a QB perspective. By all means though, if you are being called to white knight veganism on a buffalo bills message board, have at it bro

You should post more about your veganism ITT. There's nothing people are more interested in than your eating habits, especially when you have to jump up and white knight poor Kaep.

Ha, yup! At any rate, we'll see on Sunday. The hype machine for Kaep is in full overdrive, we'll see between the low iron diet, the bum shoulder, and the focus on politics, how good a QB he is now. Apparently he's had 3 surgeries since last season on his shoulder, and hasnt even been able to be in the weight room until the last few weeks. So, you're klos63 parachute account, or do you just finish sentences for eachother?

Oh hey look, it's the wet blanket here to ruin everyone's fun. I'm guessing, TSW poster klos63, that you haven't met any actual vegans. Next I'm sure you'll argue against my point, from which you cherry picked the bolded quote in your post, which was challenging the previous poster to find a legitimate sports nutritionist, that would claim that a Vegan diet is a good idea for a professional QB.

This is what I'm saying. Both the asinine 'protest' and the vegan stuff - attention seeking behavior. As much as I hope and look forward to him being lustily booed, part of me would prefer that everyone ignore his antics. Personalities like his can't stand the lack of attention, so he would ramp up the look-at-me behavior until people paid attention. I don't know, maybe throw himself down on the 50 yard line and have a tantrum? Or, maybe more likely given the way it's probably going to go down, do a lot of victim acting like a soccer player, taking dives and demanding late hit flags, like Tom Brady without the charm and QB ability

As long as YOU don't feel victimized, or hurt, by Kaep's actions, nobody else should either right? Glad you stiched this up so easily, very helpful!

Gee for nobody being victimized (and I use that term with it's modern definition, which mostly revolves around hurt feelings, not any actual suffering) there sure seems to be a lot of upset people! Its fine if YOU don't think it's a big deal, but you don't get to make that decision for others. Kaep has made his beliefs central to the 49ers story this year, regardless of how you feel about it. Again though, he's free to do that, and he's free to continue his downhill slide as a professional quarterback. If you find his actions admirable, then go on and join his fan club, there's lots of people jumping on his bandwagon

In the offense culture we live in now, it doesn't matter what your intent is, only that someone feel victimized by it. If someone made a remark that could be taken to be racially disparaging, would anybody care if the speaker was "not trying" to disrespect people of color or whomever the aggrieved party was? Kaep and his supporters don't get to play both sides of that

Even if I grant you that Kaep is a "Taylor-like" QB (which I only grant for arguments sake, Kaep isn't the same QB he was in 2012, statistically or otherwise), his supporting cast is not the equal of Taylor's. Add that to the fact that Kaep has been riding the pine because he can't beat out a couple scrub tier QBs. We'll see Sunday, but when people are worried about Kaep at QB, they're worried about the 2012 version of Kaep at 230lbs, not the failing to thrive waif-like 2016 version. He'll make a fine Grievance Reporter for ESPN, but I think his NFL days are numbered

If you don't see the overlap between "Civil Rights" in this context, and politics, then I'm not sure I can explain it in this medium. Let's start with the attention seeking behavior, like the pig-as-cop socks he wore at practice (https://thenypost.files.wordpress.com/2016/09/160901-kaepernick-socks-index.jpg?quality=90&strip=all&w=1200). How is that about Civil Rights, and NOT politics? Secondly, find me a legit sports nutritionist that recommends a vegan diet over a balanced diet that includes animal proteins, for a NFL QB. In my experience, there's a couple kinds of Vegans, and I know plenty. First are ones who are vegan for religious/spiritual reasons, and are often long term. The other group are doing because they're contrarians, and want attention for it. They generally don't stay vegans as long, but while they are, it's the first thing out of their mouths in any conversation. I obviously don't know Colin K, but I'm going to go on and guess he's in the second category.

And when you've lost RBG to your right, it might be time to reflect on where you're standing and what for. Kaep should probably spend a little more time figuring how to be a professional QB and a little less on being a professional victim, though through the magic of the Bills D, he's going to get to be both on Sunday

Unless Kaep gets some Popeye level muscling up from eating some kind of PED laced spinach, I don't think he's going to be much to worry about. Between becoming a vegan, and putting his politics above his profession, it doesn't seem like he's had much focus on football, and I'm willing to bet it shows this week.

Does a lot of back seat modding, and in PM as well.

Thank God, the mod groupie Boyst62 here to save us from ourselves again

He ought to donate his money for how much he's running his mouth about it. He certainly isn't earning that money through his play.

Yeah, i've not watched ESPN regularly in years, since they started to trend away from sports and towards social issues, and the constant harping on race issues in particular. I'm not the only one either, they're losing subscribers by the millions http://www.outkickthecoverage.com/espn-loses-1-5-million-subscribers-as-cord-cutting-accelerates-052816 Why pay good money for a cable package for sports when the flagship sports station is more concerned with trying to make you feel bad about some social issue that's being beat to death in 1000 other places, than broadcasting sporting events? They've also ruined the magazine with this crap too. I used to pay for insider, in part because I really liked ESPN mag, but it's gotten so SJW that I dropped insider this year just to avoid getting the magazine

The people who are holding him up as some sort of hero don't really know anything about football, so there's that
