Tank McNamara by Bill Hinds for January 20, 2018

My nomination would be Colin Kaepernick.

If we had a collective Sports Jerk of the Year Award, I’d happily nominate the entire NFL Officiating staff. Talk about glass navels !

I truly believe, in all the years that I’ve followed NFL football, that this year’s officiating was the worst – even when some of those bad calls went in favor of my team !

( Go Pats ! )

I’d be inclined to nominate Donald Trump for his comments about the kneeling. He’d probably win, too. Russian hackers would influence the voting. ;-) The emoji is for those folks that have no sense of humor.

Leaning toward a certain running back with the initials EE.

How could it not be Larry Nassar? Especially, after saying that he felt victimized by all the nasty talk expressed against him in court.

Oh come on. How could you folks be missing the obvious choice, Big Daddy LaVar Ball?

The real Ed Hochuli’s gettin’ old – the arms ain’t what they used to be! He had a good run, though…

How about the entire NFL power structure-owners + commish who ignored hid buried the truth about concussions and the resultant brain damage. Which also apparently can also happen to soldiers who suffered TBI when blown up

New results show it’s not even concussions, but an accumulation of trauma, regardless of severity.

And if your nominee isn’t a Patriot, they’ll find some way to make it not count.

I would go with Kaepernick, the man who single handedly destroyed the NFL.
