Season Over for Kaepernick...

Today, 49ers QB, Colin Kaepernick's season ended...

Kaepernick, was listed on the injury report Friday as Probable,  told the 49ers that he wanted to have surgery on his non-throwing shoulder...The team put him on IR, a "source" told "ESPN NFL Insider" Adam Schefter....

 Undrafted rookie quarterback Dylan Thompson was promoted from San Francisco's practice squad to replace Kaepernick on the roster.

In last-place (3-6), the 49ers were on a bye last week and had benched Kaepernick for their Nov. 8 game...Blaine Gabbert, got the start and helped lead the team to an upset of the Atlanta Falcons...

The question now that Kaepernick's season with the 49ers has ended will be...Is this just the first step in San Francisco cutting ties completely with the disappointing Kaepernick?

What Does Pain Look Like?

This...The face of pain looks like this...

Last night, Boston Bruins forward, Chris Kelly suffered a broken femur on a freak play that involved no real contact...






That could very well be the most painful non-contact injury I have seen...

It's brutal blow to the Bruins lineup....The gritty, all-purpose Kelly, who is about to turn 35, will be out  6-8 months...But, at 35 this may very well end up being a career ending injury.

Connor McDavid Out Long-term

The Edmonton Oilers and the NHL got some bad news...Superstar rookie, Connor McDavid will be out, "Long-term" with an "apparent upper body injury"...That's what was being said late last night....

The injury occured as McDavid was driving towards the goal and was run into the boards...



Official word of what the injury is, will be disclosed later today, but all speculation and rumblings have it being a broken collarbone and that McDavid will be put on the Long-Term IR...

How long that term will be is unknown...He's young, healthy and strong...He'll recover quickly...But the Oilers may also take their time and not rush the rookie phenom back...

Like I said, this is bad news for the Oilers...Bad it's bad for the NHL too...Through 13 games McDavid had logged 5 goals and 7 assists...The NHL and it's TV partners were looking forward to two McDavid vs. Crosby match-ups this month, the first being Friday...Plus McDavid and the Oilers versus the defending Cup Champion, Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday...

I wish the kid a speedy recover, and hope the long-term isn't too long...for the good of hockey and my fantasy team...
