Smoke them if you got them, Jay Cutler is back. The former Chicago Bears quarterback who retired this 0ff-season has just unretired, signing a one-year, $10 million deal with the Miami Dolphins. More
Let no one ever say Baltimore Ravens back up quarterback Ryan Mallett is not woke. Yes, Mallett, the former third round flameout for the New England Patriots and wasted trade of the Houston Texans is doing everything in his power currently to ensure his current team, the Ravens, adds free agent quarterback Colin Kaepernick to its roster.

Hello, person who doesn’t normally read articles about sports. Welcome to what I hope to be my final and definitive take on Colin Kaepernick and his current lack of employment in the National Football League. No one has been the subject of more “hot takes” this week other than Donald Trump. While we all have […] More
Of the five other teams Kaepernick could have signed with that don’t have a starter-level guy, the jury is still out on Blake Bortles and the Jacksonville Jaguars. I think he can jump up into that starter tier now that he has a real, NFL coach. I’ve not written off Brock Osweiler with the Cleveland […] More
So what teams actually could need or use Kaepernick? I say, the Jets, the Bills, the Baltimore Ravens, the Indianapolis Colts, the Jacksonville Jaguars, the New York Giants, the Dallas Cowboys, the Minnesota Vikings and the Detroit Lions. With the Jets, we already know the answer. They want to lose. The Jags are easy to […] More
Our Colin Kaepernick piece of kabuki theater wrapped up with a twist Monday when the Seattle Seahawks signed former St. Louis Rams and Cleveland Browns quarterback Austin Davis to serve as the No. 3 quarterback behind Russell Wilson and Trevone Boykin. As the rest of NFL punditry rended their garments over the plight of Kaepernick, […] More
Dion Jordan might be the poster child for my complaint at the over-reliance of NFL general managers, coaches and owners on a player’s ability to exercise at the NFL Combine. Jordan was a very good college football player at the University of Oregon in his four seasons there, but he wasn’t an elite player. What he did have was an elite combine, at 6-6 and 248, he ran a 4.60 40-yard dash, threw down a 122-inch broad jump and a 4.35-second shuttle. All top scores. More
Listen, when it comes down to it we all know members of the media skew leftward in their politics and, frankly, I’m as guilty as every other pinko commie that writes about the sports you read. The truth is, when it comes to politics I consider myself a solid independent, but with social issues I’m […] More
Shortly after the San Francisco 49ers hired Chip Kelly, I referred to his and Colin Kaepernick’s pairing as a “match made in the back-corner stall of an interstate rest area men’s room.” It was all part of my thesis that Kaepernick is unable to master the quarterback position in the NFL and that Chip Kelly, […] More
Another week of NFL Preseason football happened all over the place this weekend and we learned a few things. I’ve already gone over the injuries, some season and career defining, earlier. Now we’re going to get to the real football lessons learned. And, yes, we’ll talk more about stupid stuff too. Colin Kaepernick has accidentally […] More
There was little doubt that Colin Kaepernick’s days on the San Francisco 49ers’ roster were coming to an end, sooner rather than later. New head coach Chip Kelly has all but handed the starting job to Blaine Gabbert already, with the team holding Kaepernick out of their first two preseason games because of “arm soreness.” […] More
Make no mistake, the San Francisco 49ers were an abomination last season and we all knew they would be. Hiring Jim Tomsula to replace Jim Harbaugh was a move so dumb I’m surprised the Cleveland Browns didn’t beat the 49ers to it. Tomsula was more likely to have an on-the-field heart attack than successfully coach […] More
