EPTConsidering he supports an anti-LGBT organization, not surprised in the least he'd make such a comment, especially now. Dude better watch out when the season starts.

In football news, we're probably not going to have JD Spielman back but we're bringing in taller WRs so if we have a season, our perimeter and downfield threats should be better. Can't wait for that to materialize. | ||

You aren't even allowed to stay out of it. Rather than not get involved in a topic you probably don't have experience or education in you need to post some hollow shit on Instagram about black lives matter, stop brutality etc. Even if you are just being cautious/sensitive or whatever reason. To not speak up gets you labelled as racist. Its pretty sad. No one should be forced into a statement or a defence of a cause. | ||

You have the choice to participate or not. The thing to mindful of, is that if you aren't participating to change things, just sit quietly. Don't say All Lives Matter. Just be quiet. If you want to be sensitive and show support, that's fine. You have every right to do so and no one can say anything to you about it. The people who do are using their moral high ground to shame you. To tie it back to Brees, he shouldn't have said anything at this moment when tensions are high. Of course it was going to blow back negatively on him. There's a time and place for everything. This time is BLM. Does that make sense? I hope I didn't come across as mean or anything. | ||

I've read this a few times and I don't get how all these things fit together as a reply to what he said. | ||

You shouldn't have to feel forced to participate if you're unsure of the best way. You can still offer support and that is fine. But if you are saying that ALM or anything about the flag, that isn't supporting the moment at hand. It's best to just sit quietly otherwise, you'll get piled on. It's wrong of course and anyone with a working brain cell shouldn't condone it. But that's the way it is at the moment. If you don't want to participate, simply don't. You don't owe anyone anything. But don't say ALM or don't disrespect the flag either. People are asking, in a rather rude way, to be quiet and wait for your moment. | ||

Sometimes, it's just better to keep your mouth shut then to say anything at all.

Yeah, the plan is to do a fantasy league this fall. Still pretty early. | ||

Pay attention to why Kaep was kneeling and not object/soundtrack he was kneeling to. That's a backdrop. Background noise amplified to distract you from the core reason. In football news, we're probably not going to have JD Spielman back but we're bringing in taller WRs so if we have a season, our perimeter and downfield threats should be better. Can't wait for that to materialize. I'm not surprised. Certain segments of America equate the flag with just the military. In most places, the flag symbolizes the country and the government. It is understood that people protesting the flag are protesting how the government and the rest of society are treating them. I would think that service members, especially those that have served overseas, would be more understanding of that than Americans who have never traveled outside the country. | ||

Here are his stats from last season: An injury kept Kade Warner out of the first four games of the season, but he returned to play in seven games with five starts as a sophomore. He caught eight passes for a career-high 101 yards, averaging 12.6 yards per reception. Warner made his season debut against Ohio State and recorded his first two catches of the season at Minnesota, including a career-long 26-yard reception. Warner earned the start against Indiana, although he did not record a reception. He also started the next week at Purdue and caught an 18-yard pass. Warner caught two passes for 14 yards in a start at Maryland. He started again in the season finale with Iowa and had two catches for 31 yards, including a 20-yard reception. | ||

Cut it down the middle to 11m/year and we gucci. I don’t advocate overpaying RBs. But Zimmer’s playbook is reliant on Cook’s burst and balance (has one of the best yards after contact in the league). Pay the man and cut Cousins loose (if we need more cap space). | ||
