Remember when I said as soon as this anthem stuff popped off with Drew Brees that we were going to be in for a season of chaos?
Well, I was 100% correct, and there’s no doubt about it any more at this point. It’s going to be all over the place this season.

Remember, we already have Baker Mayfield on record that he’s going to kneel. Now, Kyler Murray, who is one of the best young players in the NFL, is going to join him.
When you have guys with that kind of name recognition kneeling, then it’s going to grip headlines all season long.
