It’s been a while since we last came together here at my
palace of petty. Something that I’m sure no new parent has heard ever, babies
are exhausting. But I would never let a full month go by without giving you a
very petty and possibly wildly fuego take on whom among us needs to have a
seat. And boy let me tell you there has been no shortage of people who could
use a seat, so without further ado I give the winner of July’s If You Don’t Sit
Your Ass Down award…
Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti, get your ass up here
so you can sit your ass down!
Now why would I be telling a well-respected business man to
sit his ass down? Well I am glad you asked! You use his is a part of a bigger
problem in the NFL, he is a part of owners’ cowardly black balling of Colin
Kaepernick. And make no mistake about it, this is a black balling. We’ve heard
all along that “oh this based on talent” and oh this based on past
performances.” Well if that was the case why would Steve Bisciotti and team
president David Cass go to Ray Lewis and sponsors, not a QB evaluator or coach on
whether or not they should sign Kaepernick?
They’re even taking fan polls. I’m sorry but that’s the most
asinine thing I’ve ever heard. Especially given that this fan base has
supported a domestic abuser and most notably Ray Lewis.
You know the same Ray
Lewis who was charged with obstruction of justice in a murder trial? The same
Ray Lewis they’re running to for advice. Are you kidding me?!
So, when the talk about fit and people’s talent dictating
the market, I call bullshit.
"Hello darkness my old friend."- Ryan Mallett |
Because especially in the case of the Ravens, you
mean to tell me that Ryan Mallett (career passer rating 64.9), Dustin Vaughn
(career passer rating 0.0) and Josh Woodrum (Career passer rating 0.0) are all
better choices to bring in than Kaepernick (Career passer rating 88.9)? That alone shows this is not and has not ever
been about talent and who can help someone win.
Whether you agree with his protest or not, you have to admit
he was not disruptive or disrespectful. He took a knee off to the side and that
was that.
If you're mad about the players and not the flag holder checking his dms, you're an asshole. |
Something tells me if you had a problem with it, you really would have
a problem with the NFL charging the military 5.5 million dollars for tributes
to troops in 2015. No? Hadn’t heard a single peep calling owners and league
execs un-patriotic.
So for this one Bisciotti you get the coveted “If You Don’t
Sit Your Ass Down award!” Now grow a spine and help your damn team.
