For much of the 2013 season, Colin Kaepernick was a quiet, reserved player. He didn't have much to say in interviews and press conferences. Then all of a sudden, we hear him in New York during the week of the Super Bowl. I know a lot of the players go to the Super Bowl parties to have a good time after a long, hard season. I have no issues with that. I took issue with Colin talking about the NFC Championship game and Richard Sherman. He said if he had thrown the ball a foot farther to Crabtree, the last play of the championship game would be a TD and Sherman would be a goat. Look, Colin. We all saw the play. Stop talking about it. You didn't throw it a foot farther. Sherman wasn't a goat, but a hero to Seattle. It may not have even been a touchdown. I know Colin is in Miami working out for next season. It excites me that he has that attitude and is ready to work. His work ethic has never been questioned. There just wasn't any reason to talk about Richard Sherman. Be the bigger man and let it go. We all saw what Seattle did in the Super Bowl. What are you going to do to prevent that Colin? Go work on your reading of defenses, progressions, and your passing skills. No one wanted to hear what you should have done. We want to know what you plan on doing about it next season. You are destined for greatness. Time to put in the work to get it! Now on to the links.
