On Tuesday, Vikings GM Rick Spielman told reporters that the Vikings were one of the teams at the scheduled workout, but wouldn’t say whether or not they attended the workout once it moved, per Ben Goessling of the Star Tribune.

ya send the lowest ranked scout for CYA then watch the tape. If nothing really pops out move on and have a nice day.

His workout had NOTHING to do with getting back into the nfl. It was a publicity stunt from start to finish.

Wow, we actually agree on something. It was a total PR stunt meant to give the appearance of the NFL giving CK his chance. What's surprising is that Kaepernick still participated instead of telling them to fuck off.

Actually he did tell them. He wanted one more chance to be the martyr.

I pictured everyone showed up for his NFL sponsored workout, he refused to sign a waiver, and then he took it all across the street to the local park without having to sign any waiver.

My understanding is that the waiver went far beyond protecting the league against any injuries that may occur during the workout and included a waiver of any and all of CK's rights, claims, causes of actions, etc. against the NFL. I would not have signed that either of i were him. Presumably, without the waiver, he could not do the tryout in Atlanta's stadium so he had to go elsewhere. So he did.

kapernick has to do shit like this, otherwise he becomes a no name and that Nike money goes away.

I have heard the waiver that kapernick was given was the same waiver that college kids sign when they are invited to the combine, is this not true? if not true wouldnt the league be opening itself up to a new lawsuit by trying to make him sign something that nobody else would have to sign to work out? I think there is a lot of bull shit from both sides on what and how things went down.

all I know is that ck was a dip shit for wearing that tshirt to this thing if he actually wanted to show that he is serious about wanting another shot to get back into the league. or a brilliant move to stay unemployed but keeping his name in the news so that the endorsement money keeps flowing.

Roots was on TV 10 years before CK was born, what was his major, TV history? B)

Oh c'mon, Jimmy. You really think he didn't know what he was doing? LOL We're talking about a guy who had a 4.0 GPA through both high school and college. Turned down an offer to play for the Cubs so he could finish his degree in Business Management. His Wonderlic score was one of the highest ever.

I don't think Kaepernick cares as much about getting back into the NFL as you would like him to. His wearing that shirt was obviously a not-so-subtle message: "I'm here to show you why I belong in the NFL, but if you think this means I'm going to back off of the issues I believe in, you can go fuck yourselves."

And I say amen to that.
