McNair would hire me before Kaepernick.

 

He could quite down the storm around him by giving him a contract for this season.

Which is exactly why he'd hire us first.

Rumors are that he OKed a workout with him. They signed Matt McGloin but I'm sure that's familiarity because there is a game.in 3 days, he could be gone Monday.

That really f***ing sucks. He is so fun to watch and he looked like a superstar in the making. Just brutal.

Awful, good dude and amazing player. Was becoming a star. The NFL is basically who can stay healthy, because injuries are just increasing.

Bob McNair would sign Steve McNair before he'd sign Kaepernick. ;)

McNair might have painted himself into a deep enough corner with his prisoners statement that it takes something like signing Kap to save him from his own players.

That's what i'm thinking especially after the trade.

Texans already signed TJ Yates and Matt McGloin

Am I just old or have people not heard that expression before? Granted he butchered it but the expression is "not letting the inmates run the asylum." It just means that you don't let the employees run the business. That's the employers job. He wasn't really calling them prisoners.

People have heard the expression, the correct one. But, they also correctly identify how disrespectful it is, especially the way it was butchered. I've heard that applied many times in families to the children, who are not capable of making reasonable decisions!

 

But if my boss were to say that of us, when there are so many better ways of indicating we can't always be making democratic decisions, I'd think "f*** you" too.

I think saying something like that in the context of discussing the players protests(and what they are about) is where it was really a poor choice of an analogy.

And he butchered that with a "tell us what you really think of us" slip on top of it.

I think the change from asylum to prison is a pretty big slip up given the racial composition of the owners and the players and what the protests are about in the first place.

Yeah, that's the subtext that made it a messed up statement. Whether or not that implication was intentional, that's the way a lot of people are going to take it. Or at least give it a pretty skeptical look.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, Patriots owner Robert Kraft and Texans owner Bob McNair, amongst others, will be deposed and asked to turn over all cell phone records and emails in relation to the Colin Kaepernick collusion case against the NFL, a league source confirmed. Others owners, teams and league officials also will be deposed, but those individuals have been confirmed for now.

Originally I thought this collusion case was gonna get tossed quickly, but someone must know there is definitive proof of collusion somewhere. I’m pretty surprised these guys are getting deposed

I agree. But those weren't the comments from the players. The players were going to walk out because he called them inmates. They took it literally.

Goodell needs to hand over his email and phone records in this Kaep collusion case. I really hope he's a big enough idiot to collude and this could fire him.

Are the iggles really this good?

I think so. They're playing as well as anybody in the league and Wentz seems to be the goods....

Tell ya what too...CBS made an incredibly great choice replacing Phil Simms (who was like nails on a chalkboard)...with Tony Romo. Romo's been great so far IMO...and has quickly turned in to probably my favorite announcer. He does an incredible job in the booth with some great analysis.
