If sabres miss the playoffs this year they will be tied with the jets

No it’s not. He had opportunities with other organizations that he didn’t want to take. Then he sued the league and afterwards, reportedly had a terrible workout to try to comeback. Why didn’t he have cameras at the workout? You’d think if he felt he should be in the league, he would show the public just how good he still is.

Again, this is just one person saying this but it makes sense. On top of that, warren sapp and Michael Irvin have given similar accounts

Personally, I’m not convinced there is or ever was a conspiracy against Kaepernick. I’m not going to outright deny that possibility though. No doubt he faced ridiculous backlash from fans/media for speaking out on his beliefs within a very important conversation, but there have been enough former players to suggest Kaepernick messed up a lot of potential contracts in the nfl behind the scenes that had nothing to do with his protests.

And normally that’s what I’d tell other people too. It’s just that being there for their small shows in front of 300 people, watching their rise, being excited for it and then having it culminate into a Jäegermeister sponsorship with subpar albums that didn’t compare to their early years was so anticlimactic and disappointing.

I’m not going to go around saying you’re wrong for liking their music or Portugal. The Man should care about what I think because they absolutely should not and they made it. Thats great for them. They are living their dream so good for them. With that being said, I’m not about to stay silent on a public forum when someone says “they never miss.” They have certainly missed more than once. But to end on a positive, I think it’s great they are making news by spotlighting indigenous rights. At the end of the day, that matters most and they didn’t miss on that.

Yeah they do. I’m glad they are doing a great thing by showcasing indigenous rights but they’ve conformed their sound for the sake of commercial success. Good for them I guess but none of their latest work has compared to their run from ‘05 to ‘11. That was interesting stuff. Once they did the Jäegermeister tour they went from producing interesting albums to pretty generic, single focused tracks which is hard to disagree with the success, but I followed them closely from ‘08 - ‘11 and they just aren’t the same. I know I’m acting an asshole for saying they sold out and I hate fans who do that, it’s just that the Jäegermeister sponsorship and subsequent albums were gross. Rebel for kicks got old after two weeks only because of the amount it was played yet we were beaten over the head with it for over a year.

That one looks like he’s grabbing ass

I think the move has a good chance of going well for him but I agree that’s it’s a pretty disappointing move for everyone and I’m not an HBCU grad. It was awesome to see the impact he was having, not only on the school, but the community and HBCU conference. And now he is going to a school filled with a ton of privileged kids without a lot of diversity.

I don’t have the actual data so I could have visited on an off day but, I’m a white male and when I was walking around the campus I was even uncomfortable about the lack of diversity I saw in such a big college. Perhaps that is what motivated him to go there. Colorado in general seems to lack a lot of diversity from what I’ve seen over there and that is also what I’ve heard from friends and family that live there. They have also been bottom dwellers in the power 5 so maybe he wants to prove how big of an impact he can make. Diversify a predominantly white community (90% Caucasian which is wild for such a big city) and make the football team more competitive. I like Deion so I hope it works out for him but it’s such a kick in the nuts to the community of Jackson

I saw that because historically Boulder competes with Nebraska for recruiting due to proximity. How would you compare the two??? And of course beauty isn’t the end all but it’s one component and that will only add to the positives. Personally, I didn’t find Boulder attractive due to the seemingly lack of diversity when I was walking around campus which made me surprised that he took the job there but maybe that’s the point

I think he’s probably going to have the same success, it will just take some time. He’s a great recruiter and on top of that, the college sports world has all eyes on him so that’s an extra boost for talent to go there. Also, Boulder is a beautiful town compared to all the nearby schools/competition, there are no more transfer penalties with ineligibility and NIL’s also make it easier to get players. Not only does Boulder have a lot of money as a community but Deion has the nations attention so I think he’s going to have no shortage of talent coming in within the next couple seasons. What he does with it has yet to be seen but I believe he’ll do well. It’s just kind of a bummer he left Jackson for Boulder. They are polar opposites and Jackson seemed to be really benefiting from him being there.
