Florio's take on a recent Kaepernick interview where he was plugging Michelle Obama's "Let's Play" initiative:

quote:

While Kaepernick doesn’t have to answer the question, the give-and-take of the interview-for-a-plug game typically entails the person who is being paid by a sponsor to talk providing something more meaningful than talking points prepared for the player by someone else. And it’s just a little odd that Kaepernick would have nothing to say about the reality that, regardless of whether the reported trade goes through, it’s now crystal clear that Smith won’t be on the 49ers in 2013.

Kaepernick's visit to the radio show was likely scheduled well before the Smith trade and was predicated solely on talking about this philanthropic cause. Regardless of this basic fact, Florio:
  • Gets mad that Kaep completely side-stepped all drama with a completely logical answer and only talked about helping kids stay active. Worthless drivel compared to the possibility of hearing one human being verbally poo poo on another, right?
  • Implies that the "Let's Play" plug was just a handy smokescreen that shielded Kaepernick from having to tell the truth.
  • Says its "crystal clear" that Smith is getting traded based on this interview. It was crystal clear months ago, you twat.
This has been your "gently caress Mike Florio" moment for March 1, 2013.

  • Absolutely cannot write for poo poo

Kinda took that for granted for both Florio and me. Florio's known poo poo, and lists are for the lazy.

Life would be better without article comment sections in general.

I can't believe a grown man wrote that. The record would scratch if you said this out loud at a party.

I'm so loving sick of this trend.

Spacing out every magnificent sentence, every point you dare not miss.

Pay attention to me, drat you.

I want Clowney to invite out King and everyone else writing about him for a workout. Videotape everyone going through his weight training, plyometics, speed, endurance, etc. regimen and post it to Youtube. That would help end the scourge of work ethic articles for at least a year or two.

It'd make for some great YouTubes of talking heads puking, too.

Peter King face down in the grass, sobbing, dry heaving, possibly suffering from rhombo...I'd buy that for a dollar.

It doesn't happen as much in SAS, but there have been plenty of instances where goons go internet detective and ruin a thread like that just to show how smart they are. I'd be interested in reading that thread, but definitely cover your tracks if you do.

I was just thinking one common element amongst all these poo poo writers is that they seem to lack either form or shape.

Have a decent article about racial bias in scouting and coaching.

Saving this article and any follow-up commentary for workout fuel.
