I'm gonna start this poo poo off right, with Tim Tebow, for dumbass remarks he made re:Colin Kaeperkneel while playing minor league ball for the Mets.

quote:

“When people have belief in something, or a conviction in something, trying to stand for that is a good thing,” Tebow said, according to USA Today’s Bob Nightengale. “Its all about standing for it the right way.

I feel that is a vote more because of Tebow than what he actually said. If youare going to vote for someone based on Kaep comments, you have to go Tony LaRussa.

I like Tebow, though. I've long been on his wagon, so this is pretty unfounded analysis.

You have a point. We need to do a master compile of people with lovely Kaep opinions.

It was just weird to pick Tebow when you can pick Watt, Sherman, or countless other NFL players/coaches that have said the exact same thing, which is basically the safe option. LaRussa was way worse and wasn't just some boilerplate PR response.

I mean, to be fair, I just posted it because I read it in some other thread moments before posting it here. This is just a tracker thread.

When voting comes into play, LaRussa will almost assuredly be the one to represent the "response to Kaep" poo poo in the tournament.

Well, this is sort of the year-long tracker thread, it's not even the nominations for DotY. I don't know if Ben Has A Tiny Weenus is going to suddenly reappear on the forums, but if not, I'll probably be running DotY again this summer. I'll continue to apply the general rules that make the thread be more about douchebags than criminals, although there's always going to be an overlap fuzzy area.

Fortunately, Baylor won last year so I don't think it can win again. Last year we didn't do a lifetime achievement, I think I'll add that back in. Might make some other small adjustments or whatever.

Just so no one forgets details months down the line:
-relocated a franchise to a market that doesn't want them
-fired their defensive coordinator via social media
-they spent a year on this?
-got their asses kicked in negotiating to use a 27k-seat stadium...by MLS
-relocated the same year LaDanian Tomlinson is eligible for the Hall of Fame, making that one awkward. Less of a douchey move, more douchey timing. Wait, no it's still both.
-burned every last bridge with San Diego and its fans in the process.

I'd nominate Russell Wilson for that. Because the majority of the team was down to kneel, but then RW was all "wait... what about are troops" and derailed the whole plan.

Anyway, more Seahawks players:

Michael Bennett for asking a cancer-surviving reporter if he had ever felt adversity in his life.
Richard Sherman for suggesting he'd end a reporter's career because he didn't like the question he was asked.

Media dude:

Trent Dilfer (re: Kaep's protest):

quote:

“No matter how passionate you are, no matter how much of a burden you have for social issues, you don’t let it get in the way of the team. This is a backup quarterback whose job is to be quiet and sit in the shadows and get the starter ready to play in Week 1. Yet he chose a time where all of a sudden, he became the center of attention.”

In other words: keep quiet and know your place. I could talk about how much underlying racism there is here, but I think most of us can pick up on it. Then he went on that weird derail about how he could have used his position as a QB to speak out against child slavery but didn't because he didn't want to hurt his team :confused:
