Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick said NFL social justice initiatives were “propaganda” on Sunday as scattered protests marked the first full day of the 2020 season.

Kaepernick, who launched his kneeling protests in 2016 to draw attention to racial injustice, questioned the sincerity of the NFL’s stance against racism, citing the fact that fellow player-activist Eric Reid remained unemployed.

Reid, who joined Kaepernick’s protests in 2016 when the two played for the 49

Sadly, that winning feeling wasn’t reflected in the ratings for NBC and the NFL in SNF‘s season opener.

The team’s first game at its sparkling new $5 billion digs saw the Rams take down the Dallas Cowboys 20-17 in a grinding battle in which Rams running back Malcolm Brown score two touchdowns. Fighting right to the end against

Brady’s Bucs debut on Sunday vs. the New Orleans Saints was a mixed bag. The former New England Patriots quarterback got things started with a quality drive that surprisingly ended with a Brady rushing touchdown, and it was a rollercoaster ride from there.

Colin Kaepernick will be the subject of a six-part series produced by acclaimed director Ava DuVernay, Netflix announced Monday.

Kaepernick will appear as a narrator, with an actor playing him as a youth in the scripted drama of a Black child adopted by a white family.

Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said he regrets not signing Colin Kaepernick in 2017, and denied that a second meeting with the quarterback was scuttled in 2018 because of the team’s uncertainty about whether he planned to continue kneeling during the national anthem.

Speaking with reporters via video conference Thursday, Carroll also revealed that he received a phone call earlier in the day from another team asking about Kaepernick, saying that hadn’t happened until now. Carroll wouldn’t

Tom Brady didn't take long to determine his landing spot in the NFL.

The former New England Patriots quarterback agreed in principle to sign with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a person with knowledge of the deal told USA TODAY Sports' Mike Jones. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal had not been finalized and cannot be completed until the start of the league year on Wednesday.

NFL Network was first to report the news.

The deal is believed to be worth roughly $30 mil

After 20 years with the organization, the quarterback posted a tweet on Tuesday, saying his farewell and his thanks to Bill Belichick, Robert Kraft and the entire Patriots organization.

Dallas has repeatedly said it wants to sign Prescott to a long-term deal. However, the team did not reach a contract extension when the two sides negotiated before the season, and it doesn’t look like any new progress has been made.

Cowboys VP Stephen Jones spoke with reporters at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis today. Not surprisingly, Dak was a major

The Dallas Renegades have played only one game, but they have already accomplished something that is exceedingly rare.
