It's Almost Colin Kaepernick Time
The San Francisco 49ers are bad, and their starting quarterback, Blaine Gabbert, is also bad.

Antoine Bethea Goes In For Big Hit, Ends Up Taking Out His Own Teammate
49ers safety Antoine Bethea got a little overzealous while going for the ball (ostensibly) on this play. Instead of getting the pick or landing a hit on Cardinals receiver J.J.

Chip Kelly Backs Colin Kaepernick, Terrible Columnist Fusses Like A Baby

The Strangest Kickoff You'll Ever See Happened In A Real College Game
Eastern Michigan smoked Charlotte tonight, but the highlight of the game was a strangely-competent EMU team kicking off from the 49ers’ 20-yard line after a series of personal fouls drawn during and after the Eagles pulled off a pick-six. We never thought we’d see this once, but then we saw it again...

Colin Kaepernick Won
The big news out of the NFL this weekend wasn’t about who threw which touchdowns or which teams won which games.
