Colin Kaepernick hasn’t played in an NFL game since 2016 despite the infinite number of publicity stunts he, the league, and mainstream media have attempted to pull off to get him back into the league.
While Kaep is coming up on the seven-year anniversary of his final NFL game, some in the media still seem to think his opinion about anything associated with the league matters.
In reality, the overwhelming majority of sports fans moved on from Kaepernick as soon as he exited the league.

Can the Celtics keep the Eastern Conference finals going?
On the night before the most important basketball tournament he’d ever played, Peter Berry spun his wheelchair down to the dark, empty lobby of a TownePlace Suites outside Whitewater, Wis., and contemplated the meaning of life.
Peter’s roommate was asleep upstairs. Everyone on the University of Alabama men’s wheelchair basketball team was exhausted. They’d ridden 16 hours on a bus from Tuscaloosa the day before.

After an unexpected week off, F1 heads to Monaco for the crown jewel of the season
The biggest week of the Formula 1 season is here, with the Monaco Grand Prix.
Teams and drivers are set to take on the most unique circuit on the F1 calendar, as drivers will weave, wind, and work their way through the Monte Carlo streets. Between the glitz and glamour that Monaco offer and perhaps some of the most iconic scenery in motorsport, the Monaco Grand Prix remains the “crown jewel” of the F1 world.
We’re getting closer and closer to fantasy football draft season! Over the last few years, managers who’ve put a greater emphasis on grabbing rookies in their drafts have been rewarded with breakout stars and draft bargains the likes of Najee Harris, Kenneth Walker, Ja’Marr Chase and Garrett Wilson. Of course, a big part of that success is picking the right “big names” and avoiding those who fall into the bust category.
Also, the reality of this fantasy situation is that there are far more disappointments than rookies who blow up in the stat sheets.
Depending on which coach you talk to, football really starts here, during offseason training activities. Or, OTAs just test their ability to pray into existence a clean bill of health for their most important players. That’s probably more like it.
Either way, plenty of questions exist about the state of each roster. By design, not every team can be perfect (until Amazon prods owners to create AI-based franchises that trounce every team every week to bring in sentient robot viewership).
The frenzy period of free agency is long gone, but many notable free agents remain available, including a handful of decorated edge rushers.
A few of them will likely find homes in the coming weeks with postseason contenders or teams that missed on edge rushers during the NFL draft. There are also some quality defensive backs available and even a two-time rushing champion with three Pro Bowl selections.
Here’s a list of the top 10 remaining free agents, with best team fits. Plus, given there are so many quality players available, an extra list at the end of the story.

Scoot vs. Miller starts the dominos for the rest of the class.
The Charlotte Hornets have an incredible legacy of coming up just short in the NBA Draft when there’s a franchise-defining big man waiting at No. 1.
In 2004 they watched as the Magic took Dwight Howard and they settled for Emeka Okafor. It happened again in 2012 when Anthony Davis was selected with the top pick, leading to the disastrous selection of Michael Kidd-Gilchrist.
The AL East is the most competitive division in baseball, and we’re betting the bats will be out tonight in the Bronx for a high-scoring affair.
This is the third game of a three-game series between the Orioles and the Yankees, and so far the series is split 1-1. Both games this week have gone over the projected run total, and I expect more of the same tonight.
Clarke Schmidt gets the start for the Yankees at home. Schmidt has been hit hard this season and has an ERA of 6.00 with an xERA of 4.99.
Ohhh!
New York Jets QB Aaron Rodgers is off to a shaky start in New Jersey after admitting to not liking “The Sopranos.”
Now he’s ticking off “The Sopranos” fandom, a wide and outspoken group, for admitting that he never got into the James Gandolfini-led HBO classic.
You’d imagine that a QB with the chill of Aaron Rodgers assumedly would like “The Sopranos” but the 38-year-old was pretty indifferent about the series.
