Non-Sharks NorCal Sports Thread XXV

[SJSharksfan39]

Warriors are leaving KNBR for 95.7 in a shocking breaking news this morning. Should the Sharks try to get on KNBR or KGO. They would play second fiddle but they would have more of a reach and maybe even a post game show on 1050, which is something the Sharks have always lacked. I would love a Sharks post game show.

I would have loved it if the Sharks went to 95.7 instead, but I can see some conflicts with the A's broadcasts during the beginning of the year and playoffs.

Cal football starts in about 10 minutes against Hawaii. They are in Australia.

Go Cal. I guess Stanford is supposed to be good but what about Cal. Losing Goff must of hurt a little.

 

[rangerssharks414]

Cal won by 20. Webb was impressive, as was Hansen. The Aussie Rules Football celebration was great.

Also, not that any of you guys would do it, but do not discuss Kaepernick's national anthem thingy in here. That counts as politics. If you want to talk about it, here is the thread on the politics board.

Who is winning QB battle in camp?

Keap or Gabbert?

All NFL Network and ESPN have talked about with regard to QB battle in recent weeks is the mess that is Broncos QB situation

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Has to be Gabbert.

 

[Limekiller]

It's going to be Gabbert.

Kapernick is more focused on making political statements than he is on football.

It has to be Gabbert going forward.

Cal game "called" from ConUS, not Hawaii.

You mean Australia.

It was painfully obvious that ESPN didn't send their announcers there.

 

[LadyStanley]

Eh, it's just another (long) plane ride from Honolulu. (See how much I follow Cal. NOT)

While everyone was talking about Kaep's political statement, he was awful on the field. Even if I still liked Kaepernick, I almost feel more comfortable with Gabbert, which is a scary thought in and of itself.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Why? Gabbert isn't bad.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

He's an average QB. It will be an interesting year for sure.

He played exactly how he has played since 2013, terribly (although he was specially awful vs the Packers).

I'd rather throw Driskel in there than him. That's how much I've soured on him.

Yeah, sure, that's why Gabbert is starting.

Head to the Politics board if you wanna take cheap shots that can't be responded to here.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Not being able to play or participate in training camp due to injuries has more to do with Gabbert earning the job than his spot-on political views.

 

[DonskoiDonscored]

Oh Kaep is absolutely right about what he said.

My problem is with the drama/distraction/tension that he knowingly created in doing so. And now the Niners can't cut him because they would look like retaliatory ******* that are against what he says. Between this, requesting a trade, and then denying said trade, he's backed everyone into a corner. We're doomed before the season even starts.

Back on topic, the Quakes look like they're cooked yet again. I thought they'd be good this year, but Wondo has fallen apart down the stretch.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

It's rather impossible to raise awareness on a divisive issue and not create a distraction. Millions don't like what is going on in this country and he's speaking on their behalf.

The 49ers were doomed this season regardless of anything Kaep did or didn't do. As for denying the trade, I can understand him not agreeing to a pay cut. He took a VERY team friendly deal, based on the promise that they'd use the money to retain their own FA's, and bring in people to help the team. The Yorks pocketed the money instead. So from his point of view, he already bent over backwards to help them, and they lied to him, why should he make things easy for them a second time?

There are ways to go about raising awareness for a a very real issue other than creating more divisiveness, alienating yourself from patriotism, and disrespecting a long-standing American value (which goes hand in hand with creating more divisiveness).

This is getting far too political and I like to keep my politics separate from my sports. I'm done with this topic.

 

[HOOCH2173]

Well I like that Driskel kid for what I saw in the 3rd Friday. Hopefully he is the future man!

I agree that there are better ways w/o creating more divisiveness but this is more effective and honestly I think people overvalue the symbolism being disrespected. The anthem is inherently political which I agree I like to keep separate from sports which is why I wish they'd get rid of it with the exception of international competition.

However, Kaep doing this really has nothing to do with his roster status. They weren't going to cut him during the season. If he did this like just before June 1 or whatever the date may be that may make it beneficial for the team to cut him due to cap implications, I'd give that argument some credibility but now, I don't think so and this will all be forgotten by the time another good opportunity to cut him comes along. The 49ers weren't going to win anymore than 4 games regardless of Kaep's situation so in the grand scheme, this isn't going to impact the team much.
