TYRONE GA!
SAS opinion is based on the premise that a team was actually going to sign him if he went along with it based on his sources. That theory was floating around from the beginning cause it never made sense for the NFL to do this now in the first place when everyone had forgotten about kaep and he was irrelevant 2 weeks ago.

If this is true because I've heard this as well, :snoop:

1st Round Playoff Exits
Really disappointing and embarrassing performance.
I said this in the other thread, I think him are max are running a good cop / bad cop gimmick.

A lot of contemporary "sports analysis / journalism" is so predictable its cringeworthy.

I literally watch some event or incident happen, then I can literally predict how :skip: shannon, :sas1: , and max will react.

Don't get me started on colin and whitlock. :mjpls:

Here is the thing that SAS and Shannon Sharpe don’t get. Kaep do want to play. However, he is in a position where he doesn’t have to bow down to the NFL because of his settlement, and his Nike deal. He is not starving, so why would he kiss the NFL ass? He letting teams know he will give 100 percent on the field, but he still going to be pro Black. If they can handle that he has stated that he would play for any team. People are mad because they are not use to seeing a Black man be able to be principled, and still be able to make millions. They want him to beg and he’s not going to do that.

Shannon Sharpe said it best. Kaep is focused on appealing to people that can't get him a job.

Nothing Howard or max said is anything groundbreaking or something we didn't know. Black folk can't get away with stuff white folk get away with. Is this news to some of yall? When a white cop pull Howard over does he act an ass cause white folk get away with it? Or are you more cautious? Idealistically you shouldn't have to be more cautious right? But how do black folk act in reality? We pick and choose our battles everyday. Getting a job or working in corporate America or for the white NFL owners is no different.


:ehh:

Howard said it perfectly, why is it so important for the NFL to buck break kap?

And when max said SAS sources are liars, you could tell that hurt his feelings...:russ:



we can argue until the end of time about it, but still no GM or owner has stepped up to bring him in yet. And I honestly do not see this story going away for a while. Just give the man a shot on a roster, damn!

This nikka is going nuclear on his radio show about people questioning his blackness :russ:

He did that yesterday when talking about Eric Reid, talking about “I apologize to my bosses with what I’m about to say” I mean SAS was seething like I’ve rarely seen him seethe before.

The issue is kaep supporters are being idealistic. And Steven A smith is being pragmatic. And being idealistic wont get you a job if that is your end goal. At a certain point you gotta deal with the reality and not about how you feel things should be. Life's not fair. You can either deal with it or cry about it.
The issue is Stephen A. works as hard as anyone in sports TV, but it appears to be his everything. What would it take for him to walk away from his 8m?? What would they have to tell him to make him say 'no deal'. He cant perceive a black man putting something above money/job. He just cant comprehend that concept. The fact that Kaep wants to play, but wont just sit back and take whatever the league throws at him confuses Stephen A.. I understand criticism of Kaep if they said "why was the backup venue so far away" or "why not have the lawyer fight the language of the waiver on site" but he nitpicks every move Kaep makes so one could only suspect that deep down he doesn't really support him.

That's what I'm saying. As I get older and wiser; I won't label people c00ns for wanting to go about things in different ways if I won't do what I can to support my stance. In his mind he might think that Kaep is a great guy but isn't changing anything on a bigger scale. But in this internet era, the people who be the most vocal are the ones on twitter not offering or risking shyt, if every anonymous militant actually cared like they claim to do, they would not be living even safer than SAS. They would be actually doing shyt. It's like they live vicariously through a dude and shyt on anyone who doesn't.

At the end of the day, both want the same thing for their people, different methods.

This whole situation was a shyt show and exposed everyone from all sides. Kaep is a grandstanding clown. The NFL are disingenuous pieces of shyt. Stephen A Smith is a bootlicking network c00n.


Kaep's a clown because he didn't let the NFL play him huh? :mjlol:

Got a workout on Saturday afternoon, and by Saturday morning you're still being denied any details about the workout but hey you're a clown if you don't follow it and pivot to something else instead:hhh:
