Collin Kaeprenick stands up for Black People by disrespecting the United States of America

The NFL is a role model business for equality and equal rights as the best player is on the field. This decision is based off of talent, skill and the unique God given ability that separates a player from their competition. A position or place on the field has nothing to do with your ethnicity, gender, origin or any other typical discriminating factors. Even "Superstars" who have been leading the league for years can find the bench from bad games or after suffer injuries while the next man who has been salivating for their spot is ready to take over!

NFL players bear the fruit that people dream of having and accomplishing however it doesn't come without hard work. Most players have graduated from college with scholarships which is another accomplishment that some Americans dream of achieving. The amount of gratitude towards our God and our great Country for making this NFL experience possible should be overwhelming for a player. That's the reason why I'm still scratching my head after the San Francisco 49ers QB Collin Kaepernick didn't think it was important to stand up for our National Anthem.

Football is usually considered to be soccer in other countries as they call our sport "American Football". With that being said, it's pretty disgraceful how someone could actually be living the "American Dream" of playing in the NFL and not have enough respect for our country to stand up during our National Anthem. Think about the fans in the seats of the stadium who stand up for our National Anthem or in other sports like Hockey where you stand for the other countries National Anthem also out of respect. Unfortunately Collin Kaepernick completely disregarded the fact that many people gave their life to preserve this "Anything is Possible" platform that currently has an African American President in the White House.

"If you don't want to stand up for our country and show some respect, than you deserve an ass kicking and a one way ticket to the country you think is so much better." -The Rainmaker

The NFL Network reported before the season started that Kaeprenick was going to be traded and the 49ers were shopping around for the best deal. They mentioned that he would receive a substantial amount of money for just showing up to mini-camps but it would be awkward for the rest of the team who knew he would be gone. Obviously his 13 million dollar guaranteed salary doesn't make sense for a backup player and his performance on the field has been less than stellar. Now Kaeprenick can say that he was released from the team because of his unpatriotic stance towards our racist country. How close am I to the truth?

NFL Preseason week 3

NFL PRESEASON WEEK 3

Let me start this blog by saying, (bragging:) I called the Tony Romo injury a few days before it happened.  If we were in Las Vegas gambling, I'm sure the odds on that bet would be 50/50 or worse in favor of the injury.  Tony Romo may have actually done the Dallas Cowboys a favor by revealing the inevitable fate of his Cowboy future.  This obviously allows the "Red Hot Rookie" Dak Prescott to take the reins earlier in the season due to injury then skeptics originally expected.  The mid season chuckle that we have to wait for is when Romo comes back to a 6 and 2 Cowboys team which will make him officially the highest paid cheerleader in the league.

One of the interesting games that I caught on NFL Network during their preseason coverage was the New England Patriots and Chicago Bears game.  Surely I wasn't the only person who watched the game on the TV considering the Patriots starting quarterback Tom Brady also missed the game due to a minor paper cut allegedly caused by scissors.  After seeing the damage, I personally came to the conclusion that it was self inflicted by Brady so he could miss the game.  This "in my opinion" was an attempt to send a silent middle finger to the NFL for the "deflategate" suspension that was upheld in the highest court.  I thought the highlight of that game however was Howie Long's sons Kyle Long (Chicago Bears) and Chris Long (New England Patriots) playing in the same game against each other.

While remaining on the brother theme, here's a pair of brothers that have reached some real milestones in their coaching career.  Twin sons of Buddy Ryan, Rex Ryan and Rob Ryan are now on the coaching staff payroll together for the Buffalo Bills.  Rex (who has lost some serious weight) found some early success with the New York Jets and has now landed the Head Coach position with the Buffalo Bills.  Rob Ryan however has bounced around the NFL a little more than his brother from running the defense of Cowboys to the Saints and now the Bills.  This is another story that I think will be interesting as the Bills face an 8 and 8 "Black Monday".

NFL Preseason Week 2

Preseason Week 2

With the new 2016 NFL Season underway, the 32 teams look much different than they did last season at this point.  Thanks to HBO Hard Knocks, fans have a inside look at the LA Rams (which have recently returned to L.A.) and how the number one overall NFLDraft Pick Jared Goff is fighting for a starting spot. Goff has shown signs of brilliance but still looks like he will be riding the pine behind QB Chase Reynolds.  The spotlight however has been shinning very bright on the talented RB Todd Gurley, especially with the HBO cameras capturing the behind the scenes action in Los Angles.

In other news, QB Robert Griffin III seems to be proving his worth as a starter and reminding fans that he should have been starting whenever he has been healthy.  The Washington Redskins released Griffin after naming Kirk Cousins and Colt McCoy to start in front of him.  There's no question that RGIII is more talented than both of those QB's combined and I would be looking for another Cleveland Comeback story similar as the one found with Lebron James in the 2016 NBA Finals.  Please note that I'm not comparing RGIII with Lebron James in any fashion except for a professional sports player that can take Cleveland to a Championship.

Another story that has the NFC East watching is Dak Prescott in Dallas where he has lit up the scoreboard for the Cowboys in both preseason games.  Week 2, Prescott connected with Dez for 2 touchdown tosses and also ran two in making it look easy.  The question is, is there a chance to take the starting role in Dallas since Tony Romo is obviously the number one.  Considering that Tony Romo has a 68% chance of a re-injuring his back in 2016 and a 38% chance of finishing the season without missing any games, I would say that Prescott's chances are looking great!  My curiosity is leaning on first round draft pick, RB Ezekiel Elliott as he's limping into the NFL in true Cowboys fashion.

These are just a few stories that I found worth noting in this blog, stay tuned for a more detailed account of the NFL from a fans point of view.  We would like to give a special thanks to our sponsors, Lighting By Veterans and Make It Rain Marketing.
