Week 6 is upon us and the big story is the return of Colin Kaepernick as the starting quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers. The Niners need a spark and they are hoping Kaepernick give it to them.

How is Charlie Strong on the Hot Seat But Brian Kelly Isn’t?
I am a little confused these days. I am trying to figure out how Texas coach Charlie Strong is on the hot season but Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly isn’t.

Dime Package for Week Five in the NFL
The biggest highlight of week five has to be the return of Tom Brady. He reminded us what makes him so great yesterday. Here are ten thoughts from Week 5. 1. I think it’s time Chip Kelly gave Colin Kaepernick a shot in San Francisco. At this point, he can’t be any worse than Blaine Gabbert has been. 2. In case you forgot that Tom Brady is arguably the greatest…
