well this ends the ELI speculation.

Should all so show you who the're going after in the draft at #2. I would still rather trade down and get more picks but it looks like the RB from Penn St. They still might grab a QB put not at #2 .

Carson Wentz tore LCL as well as ACL, but injury won’t change his playing style – ProFootballTalk

I kept thinking RGIII when reading this article. Only difference is, RGIII wanted to change his playing style, Wentz doesn't. I never want to wish anything ill-fated no anyone, but you start to wonder how long of a career Wentz will have playing as aggressive as he does? He's already had a major injury in only his second season.

That is why I asked the Q about trading him if foles wins SB MVP... I know it sounds out of this world stupid but look at Andrew Luck as well... Things can happen fast

Difference with Wentz is he can play from the pocket so he can afford to dial back his running.

This is very true!

I figured out my rooting interests in the SB. I'm rooting to win at squares, last week I won $125 off the third quarter of Vikings-Eagles, so I took 100 of it and bought 5 squares for next week at 20 per. If I win one quarter I get 500, if I lose I was playing with house money anyways lol. And I got some good numbers too, 3-3, 7-4, 8-4, 6-3, and one other I forget.

People don't like their country being protested, especially on the basis of lies.
Link Shocker!

Even more shocking, people protest and expect no backlash.

Most shocking of all, politicizing sports is divisive. SHOCKING, I say!

It's sure to attract the middle-aged white man crowd that can't watch football because a guy is kneeling during the national anthem.

Fixed it for you

Kneeling was never about the flag or country.

Funny thing to say about something done when the flag and national anthem are presented.

Oh wait, in Colin Kapernick's own words: “I am not going to stand up to show pride in a FLAG for a COUNTRY that oppresses Black people and people of color. " (Bold, underline, and caps mine)

Guess Kapernick didn't get the memo about kneeling never being about the flag or country. Someone should educate him.

It was about a benched former QB who was looking for a way to become pertinent again as others joined in the gesture was interpreted as a different thing altogether. Lets remember when this QB in question was a starter he did nothing of the sort and life was fine.

That’s certainly an interesting way to go about it. I can think of a lot easier ways.
