fine? Wanna question his timing? Sure. Painting him as a racist as a result of his answer? No! Sorry, but his personal views on how he feels when the anthem is played is just that, his American right. Just as it is, Kaepernick’s to take a knee.
The CFB Playoff Committee has all their cronies on TV all day preparing everyone for Alabama privilege tonight. There’s no doubt they’ll drop only 1 or 2 spots. Committee will claim “eye test” and forget their non Conference schedule. An embarrassment! I dropped em’ 5 spots.
TRUTH ;
@CFBPlayoff
is flat out WRONG and I’ll no longer recognize it as a Playoff.I’m done with it! “Eye test” code for Pure Playoff Privilege. It’s not a CFB Playoff it’s a Power 5 Invitational and from this point forward I’ll call it that!👍

Big Ten football decision marks darkest day in conference's history; Sometimes the political agendas of writers take over all other sensibilities. I’ve always respected & enjoyed reading Christine’s work, but there’s nothing here except liberal propaganda.

If that’s aimed at me my friend? You’re sadly mistaken. I’m right here! I’m pleased they’re in, but don’t trot out the CFP pablum without thinking you won’t get pushback here.Pretty sure my voice represents a strong number that have been forgotten in CFB’s exclusionary practices!

I repeat I’ll not utter the words College Football Playoff Again. Not until all of CFB gets to take part. EXCLUSIONARY! Until they expand its simply the Power 5 Invitational. PERIOD!
Booger’s the only guy speaking truth here and yeah the “SEC is a factor” Galloway admonishing his fellow panelists for implying that may be the case. To say INFLUENCING doesn’t take place here is burying your head in the sand.

Selection Sunday. Some tough decisions for the committee this year. Know some people are frustrated and I get it. Here’s my opinion of the final spot going to Bama…
We’re in the midst of College Athletics DARKEST hour.Spin it as you like,but the weakest National Leadeship of a Sport playing out in front of us and it’s the one I’ve promoted & loved broadcasting for 4 decades.5 months of waiting and hoping as your plan? Dereliction of duty imo
ESPN's Sam Ponder uses 'fairness' to justify bigotry toward trans women ;This 👇unfortunately is why so many prominent women in sports (athletes and broadcasters)remain silent. This hatchet job has zero to do with bigotry. Weaponizing Title IX on display👎
There’s no denying
@POTUS
& many other Democrats have weaponized
#TitleIX
particularly since the 50th Anniversary of its adoption. It’s sickening, given what it’s history meant for women in sports. All Girl Dad’s unite with Riley. Political abuse of it is WRONG! Keep fighting👏
Under the guise of competitive fairness? Are you really trying to say you would have won a national title against the men? Does it not break your heart to see women lose out on these opportunities?
The Biden Admins proposed bill denies science, truth, and common sense

I can honestly say in my 38 years calling CFB games on National Television, never have we had a game like tonight’s in Manhattan Kansas. Snow globes ❄️and explosives🧨 497 yards of offense for each team and it began with this bomb 💣 from Samuh III what a find for
@CycloneFB

One final nugget on our trip to Kinnick for the first time. It’s not the BIGGEST venue, but in CFB it doesn’t have to be to impress. 69,500 capacity when it’s rocking and they’re on top of the field resonates. The Children’s Hospital Iowa Wave adds to its mystique. Top 10 to me.

In retrospect perhaps it’s best this happened in the BIG picture these National Titles have all been mythical in my mind.We’ve never had a true Championship played out with equal access to the Playoff and this underscores why this corrupt garbage post season format had to change.

I’ll be clear. It’s not about clean or dirty? It’s legal or illegal in the “targeting” era! It absolutely was and is the definition of targeting and it effectively ended the game with well over 11 minutes left.

Dallas Turner’s hit on Jayden Daniels may or may not have been clean… but here’s what I do know, this isn’t the first time he’s gotten a QB out of the game or committed a gnarly penalty on one.
