It's time for Colin Kaepernick to take his talents to South Beach

With the late-breaking news Thursday night that Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill likely will need season-ending surgery on his knee, that noise you heard was the entire football world gearing itself for an avalanche of Colin Kaepernick speculation, rumors, news and takes. The former 49ers signal-caller should have already gotten a job somewhere, but the NFL at large has frozen him out as a result of his national anthem kneeling and social justice stance (though teams will never admit as such). Already, we saw the Ravens hem and haw about adding Kaepernick to back up an injured Joe Flacco. Miami's situation is even more obvious, though. You want this blogger's opinion? The Dolphins should sign him, then brace themselves for the apocalypse of hot takes. (Otherwise, deal with Malcolm Jenkins calling you a bunch of cowards.)

Mets lose game in appropriately Mets fashion

The Mets fell to the Rockies on Thursday afternoon, 5–4, after reliever Hansel Robles walked in the winning run with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth. But while that is a very Mets way to lose a game, it's what happened to Robles that takes it to 11 on the Mets scale.

It's like, how much more Mets could it be? And the answer is none. None more Mets.

Sean Spicer says no to Dancing With The Stars

The former White House press secretary and biggest boost to Melissa McCarthy's paycheck since Bridesmaids is unfortunately depriving us all of his fox-trot and tango moves after turning down an offer from the popular celebrity dancing reality show. I'd say he should go on Survivor, but Spicey doesn't seem to have the right skillset for that one.

Cooler than a polar bear's toenails

Portland is currently amid a horrible heat wave featuring 100-degree-plus temperatures, which means bad times for our furrier friends at the Oregon Zoo. Lucky for the polar bears, though, they've got a good way to beat the heat.
