I was going to boycott this season if Kap didn't get signed. I still might but I heard the Jets picked him up for a one year contract.

lol i heard people were doing this. it's pretty sad to me because there might still be racial injustice in professional sports but this is definitely not an instance of it. anyone who watched Kap play (Exo back me up here) can tell you that he fell off in a big way. any team signing him is taking a big chance. unless he regains his confidence he will never be a worthwhile addition to an NFL team again.

If you actually look up his stats. He did really well the few times he got to play. The overall team performance was down. You can only carry shrubs on your back so much. I know they are my team. It is much more than just racial injustice. The NFL is full of **** in general. They will protect wife beaters and all other heinous activities but they don't want to deal with the headache of someone that stands up for what they believe. It is such bull****. Also Vick talking that b.s. about him having to cut his hair to help people change their opinion of him when there are many other players with super long hair that don't get the same criticism.

yeah the NFL is a terrible organization, no doubt. but the Kap scenario is the worst example of that around. he's not fit to lead a team any time soon.

as the season went on last year i felt myself becoming less and less interested. im not sure if ill watch this year either, im not even excited for the new season. if i do it will be exclusively to **** **** up in fantasy football.

Who is your team?

I stick with the Niners through all their rebuilding phases.

i never really had a true "team", ive always been more a fan of the game than any specific team. in saying that i follow the 9ers and Bills more than any other teams. 9ers because i used to always watch with one of my best friends who was a die hard fan and eventually the fandom started rubbing off on me, and the Bills just because of their annual game played in Canada which makes them our honorary team or something like that.

both teams are in awkward stages with their development but i enjoy watching teams try to make that next step forward

Bills has been my secondary team since back when Jim Kelly I believe his name is used to QB with his hail mary passes.

Sometimes I will watch a Jets/Giants game being in NY just to make fun of them when they lose.

We should do a Music Banter Fantasy League.

Do we have enough people?
