No, he didn’t die. But the era in which Colin Kaepernick, who had two or at most three good years in the NFL and hasn’t played a down in nearly a decade, and who had a losing record as a starter, could be regarded as some kind of cultural icon, has officially come to an end: Director Spike Lee’s multi-part documentary series for ESPN Films about former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who sparked a national debate when he protested racial injustice nearly a decade ago, will not be released, the filmmaker and ESPN said. “ESPN, Colin Kaepernick and Spike Lee have collectively decided to no longer proceed with this

Just shows that a man should chose a good woman who will build him up[ instead of tear him apart. Colin's girlfriend is an ultra-liberal black liberationist. She destroyed his career. He was smitten.

Quarterbacks get benched and eventually released all the time. A small percentage (like Joe Flacco) hang on in backup roles, but most don't quite cut it. Kaepernick had his chance to shine and did briefly, but it didn't last. He's no different than dozens of others who came and went in the NFL.

When you let the little head think for the big head it's a sure career buster. The guy had a chance and he blew it.

A sad ending to a once promising career. I watched and cheered for his success as a player. The first nail in his proverbial coffin, was from the coaching staff trying to change his style to a pocket passer. He was great at running and improvising and those changes negatively impacted him. Lastly, his girlfriend that changed him to a social warrior completely his professional demise. A movie wasn’t required to show that fall.

Knappyprick's first season in the NFL was remarkable, he looked like he'd be setting a new bar for pro qb's. The defenses quickly adjusted, Colin couldn't because he was always limited. Now we find his story is not marketable without myths and lies. Go away, loser.

A multi part series for a story that can be told in 2 minutes. By the end of it he would have been able to fly and walk on water.

Ha ha ha. When the mophead took a knee, that was the straw that broke the camel's back in my household. Never watched another NFL game after that gross stunt. Same as baseball, when the idiots went on strike in the 90's and lost another million fans. Good riddance, kneeler. I hear Karine Jean Pierre is looking for a partner...ask Suzanne Malveaux. Same hair.

Kaepernick became famous for one reason only: his open hostility toward the United States. The fact that such hatred was once enough to make an athlete popular, in many circles, is shameful. That we have moved on, as a nation, is a small sign of a return to sanity. End of story.

Kaepernick received a tryout in 2017 with the Seahawks for a backup role. When he wasn’t signed, coach Pete Carroll said, Kaepernick “is a starter in this league." Later, Carroll expressed regret for not signing Kaepernick. Pete Carroll is a pc phony.

There is no other way to say it: today’s Democrats have a love-affair with criminals, violence, and vulgarity. Thus, they clearly favor illegal immigrants over citizens, criminals over the law-abiding, and chaos over the Constitution. The examples are legion, inexhaustible. To wit: The man charged with assaulting a U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent with a Subway sandwich is a former DOJ employee, an ex-Swamp dweller. Hunter Biden recently claimed that Melania Trump met her husband through Jeffrey Epstein. Hunter dismissed First Lady Melania Trump’s demand for an apology for his statements linking the former super model to Jeffrey Epstein. Melania’s lawyers promptly persuaded the Daily Beast, who published the accusation, to post a retraction.

There was a lot of news this week. Texas Democrats, emulating their brethren in Wisconsin and Minnesota, fled to greener pastures in hyper-gerrymandered Illinois. The battle over illegal immigration continued. As of this writing, President Trump and Vladimir Putin are conferring in Alaska. But the overwhelming favorite of meme-creators was President Trump’s effort to get crime in the District of Columbia under control. That seems like a laudable objective, but every Democrat, without exception as far as I know, has lined up on the side of the criminals. The District has sued to stop Trump from saving residents from violence and disorder. And the Deep State,

Don’t be disappointed if you’re anxious to attend the Biden Presidential Library’s opening. It almost certainly will never exist. D.C. swampsters are trying to bury the record, hoping the public forgets how bad things were. Its subject will soon be either in the ground or too incapacitated to solicit funding. Biden staffers retaining criminal defense counsel have no interest in a library containing evidence for prosecutors to mine. No reporters from press outlets complicit in enabling chaos are hounding Biden. DOGE revelations testify to his administration's wholesale graft. FBI servers were purged of controversial data, unburdening what had been.

I received such an outpouring of comments to my recent bad T.V. and cable ads article that I thought I’d give this another shot. Currently, there are so many bad ads I had no problem finding truly dreadful examples. First, let’s check out an ad campaign that worked, American Eagle’s ads featuring Sydney Sweeney, a popular young Hollywood actress. Apparently, she not only has good genes, but good jeans. When those American Eagle Sydney Has Great Jeans ads broke a couple of weeks ago, three things happened. Immediately, the “progressive left” predictably lost their minds, flooding TikTok and YouTube with screaming video fits, calling Sydney a Nazi while claiming

Bryan Kohberger has been in Idaho’s maximum security prison for nearly two weeks, and one detective says he’s already losing it. Placed in “J Block” for his own protection, “Banfield” has learned Kohberger’s fellow hardcore offenders are going out of their way, as far as they can, to make the notorious newcomer miserable. His fellow inmates have been taking turns shouting through the air ducts, all day and all night, to keep Kohberger from sleeping at night or even hearing himself think during the day. “The good news is the inmates apparently were waiting for him,” said Chris McDonough, director of the “Cold Case Foundation” and a retired homicide detective.

The real scandal at the heart of the Russiagate saga is the intimate and troubling connection between Adam Schiff and Hillary Clinton. This connection reveals how classified intelligence was weaponized to target Donald Trump. We’ve already talked about how recently declassified documents confirm the Trump-Russia collusion hoax was a deliberate political hit job, which Barack Obama approved in coordination with Clinton’s 2016 campaign. But things are so much worse. As PJ Media previously reported, then-congressman Schiff was the architect behind the deliberate leaking of classified information aimed at smearing Trump

Faux meat-congealer Beyond Meat reported a bad third quarter last week; the company's sales were hurt in part "by weak demand for its plant-based meat products," according to Reuters, and that has The Street's Daniel Kline arguing the company is ripe for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. "The company does have time to fend off a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing," Kline wrote, "but it also has limited, if any, prospects to meet its impending cash needs." The company has just $117.3 million in cash or equivalents, and debts of $1.2 billion. The company announced layoffs and other cost-cutting measures, along with expanded distribution of the products that people are less interested in buying.

Many years ago, Bill Whittle gave me the sharpest definition you might ever read for the proper role of journalism in a healthy republic: "They're the antibodies of the body politic." But we do not live in a healthy republic — and journalists too often are part of the cancer we're trying to eliminate. Case in point: So-called journalists who, instead of investigating Russiagate claims, performed as marionettes for the Obama-era intelligence community, determined to rig and then undo a presidential election. And now we have at least two names. I'll get to those in just a moment, but first, this important reminder. At the center of the Obama White House’s

The rise of courtroom media has provided the public with hundreds of glimpses into that supremely tragic moment when a felon, sometimes just a teenager, learns he is sentenced to life imprisonment. Then, despite their efforts at bravado, there is no hiding the shock and disbelief. His life is over. The possibility that he blotted from his consciousness has actually become unbearably real. What happens next, when the convict is borne away to his cell to ponder what Anglo-Irish writer Edward Plunkett called the thoughts of the newly dead? Thanks to criminology, we know that many replay in their minds the moment of their downfall, often obsessively, especially in the

"Nice city you have here — it would be a shame if something were to happen to it." Something bad is about to happen to New York City. Maybe I'm wrong. I hope I'm wrong. The greatest city in the world deserves something better than a commie-racist/nepo-red-diaper-baby like Zohran Mamdani as its mayor. But recent news has me convinced that the commie-racist/nepo-red-diaper-baby will be the city's next mayor. President Donald Trump called Mamdani a "communist lunatic" back in June, and he isn't wrong.

The U.S. Department of State announced Saturday morning that it was stopping a visa program that allowed residents of Gaza to enter the United States for "medical-humanitarian" reasons. This comes after videos of large groups of Gazans—often decked out in "Palestinian" flags and keffiyehs associated with the terror group Hamas—arriving at airports across the nation began popping up on social media in the last few weeks. According to this State Department tweet, the program is being paused while officials review the "process and procedures" that have allowed a stream of injured children from Gaza, often accompanied by several family members, into the country.
