    I have a question for you.

    Was Jonathan Swift a troll?

    Look at the first page the same people that believed him and got trolled were the same people that believe Fox News. That is threadworthy in its own right. Classic stuff.

    Nope. Doesn't detract from what he does but younger generations need to realize their battles and adversity just aren't as big; or just do a little more research and find some mid-level social activists or figures to reference. Kaepernick is a principled contrarian at this point, he'll never have the tools or focus to accurately identify specific issues or impact change.

    I feel bad for Sanders but I think he was overrated. Maybe he should be drafted by now but in no way first round talent.

    As far as hating on his father why would the NFL owners hate Deion?

    There’s some people saying it racism but

    Cam Ward was drafted number 1

    so I think it’s something that went wrong in the evaluation , maybe he’s not a leader

    It's not racism. He blew his interviews, couldn't do the white board and is an arrogant diva who thinks the world revolves around him. Add that to the fact that he was demanding to start day 1 and isn't good and nobody wants to touch him. Look around the NFL.teams are willing to put up with a lot if you have talent. Look at Tyreek Hill. Sanders simply isn't worth it

    The offense at Colorado had him chuck the ball up every time
    They never ran the ball

    They didn't have much of an offense. Deion was focused on making his son and Travis look good

    the Deion hate is making you write some stupidity. Why wouldn't he get the ball to Hunter?

    I don't hate Deion. Not sure where you got that from. He's one of the greatest CBs ever. I didn't say he shouldn't have thrown to Hunter. I'm saying that wass the offense and he's simply not good. I guess that the gms agree with me. If you want to speak on stupidity you might want to work on your reading comprehension

    The story everyone loves to share about Cam Ward telling the other team exactly where the play was going was pure arrogance and he went #1. The Steelers are trying to sign Rodgers who is the gold standard for arrogance and has been mediocre for 3 years now.

    I think teams think Deion is going to continue to be heavily involved. Which probably is true.
