We'd be better off without it.

I believe the original story was from a satire account.
Kap has settled with the NFL, so his playing days are effectively over.

(25,505 posts)The first hint was that "Colin" is spelled incorrectly.
The second was that the account linked to a prior story about said account being a fake, right in the first few comments.

No coverage on PFT or ESPN. Somebody's having a laugh at us.

(15,670 posts)Pete carrol and the Seahawks for bringing onboard and back into the league even though they have their starter Russell Wilson. About time someone finally stepped up and did the right thing. Not surprised it was the Seahawks. Their players and coach supported Kap from the get go.
Best thing. This has got to be really irritating the fat bastard occupying our WH illegitimately.

(1,990 posts)There is no link, and no link anywhere on reputable sources indicating that this is real. I find nothing about it on Espn.
We should know better than to be taken in by trolls.
