ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Before San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick knelt during the national anthem of Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills, a loud chant of "USA, USA" rang out at New Era Field.

...

As Kaepernick, who made his first start since week 8 of last season, led the offense on to the field, he was greeted by a loud chorus of boos from Bills fans. Those boos continued for the first couple of snaps before dissipating into cheers of encouragement for Buffalo's defense.

...

Kaepernick's first drive as the starter ended in a punt. He ran for 5 yards on the second snap and completed his first pass attempt on the third, a short shovel pass to receiver Quinton Patton for a gain of 17 yards. Two plays later, his deep pass to an open Torrey Smith was overthrown and fell incomplete.

Hope the entire edifice falls to ruin.


From one of the better movies you never heard of ...

Jack Webb: What a beautiful morning, and look at those magnificent mountains.

Robert Mitchum: May they crumble into dust before your very eyes.

The news media in Buffalo asked the fans to be considerate. I asked my son and his friends, when they left for the game, if they were going to be considerate and they said, “hell no."

Good for your son and his friends. If they are old enough buy them all a beer. Even if they're not old enough...

Kaepernick is doing for the United States exactly what the exposing of Benedict Arnold did for American independence. He’s bringing us together against America’s enemies.

Every crowd at every game should boo loudly every second he is on the field.

In other sporting news,, all Nascar drivers and crew members and families stood for the anthem at Kansas today..

Kaepy and the 9ers are behind 14-13 at half.. No TDs for Kaepy,, the defense has to carry the load .. again.

It is fascism in the name of feelings. “We morally higher liberals can mock you as stupid, crazy and evil, but don’t you dare disagree with our disdain, it is against the moral manners we the elite have set.”

I respect George Carlin for pointing out and mocking this gentrification of language before it was un-PC to do so.

Years ago I was driving I-90 in the vicinity of Buffalo.The local radio station I was listening to was promoting a contest for the person who comes closest to naming the date when Buffalo got its first 1 inch snowfall.

This was in September!

Go Bills! My husband’s watching an old Western movie with Jimmy Stewart instead of watching the 49ers (our local team).

If they renegotiated that injury clause out of the contract, I’m changing my mind on him getting his neck broken. :=)

NFL is going way down and ESPN also

Proof will be when it gets cold up north

I moved to Florida and lost all interest in the NFL

Unless it pouring rain theres a lot to do

I do watch the Super Bowl

My daughter works for Disney and told her that ESPN will never recover

She thinks I’m crazy
