Not much on the NFL front today. The big news comes with final cuts Saturday; by 4:00 PM EDT we will know who is supposed to start the season on the roster. Waiver wire Monday should be fun as well.

NFL News:

• Ironic platform note at PFT: JEREMY LANE ON SITTING FOR NATIONAL ANTHEM: “I’M JUST STANDING BEHIND KAEPERNICK.”
• Jets 3rd string QB Bryce Petty got lit up by Eagles DE Bryce Braman & will have an MRI to determine if there is any serious damage. It’ll also determine whether he becomes trade bait on Monday or doesn’t survive the waiver wire.
• Dreamboat played the entire first half against the Giants, giving the impression the Dark Lord will be happy going 2-2 until the suspension is concluded.
• The Bills cut 21 players, but kept Glenn Gronkowski. Maybe now Rex can beat Belichick.
• The Ravens kicked the tires on Devin Hester.

Of course, this is a sports site, so a quick search and personal preference found me these comparisons to what Kaep is currently rocking:

Randy Moss:

John Riggins:

Doctor J:

Marouane Fellaini:

And, the master, Oscar Gamble:

It may be the only real highlight of the 49ers season, but we’ll always have that look. It’ll live on forever.
