Colin Kaepernick Got New Tattoos, But Don’t Worry Sports Columnists, They’re Business Ink

Colin Kaepernick, the heavily tattooed San Francisco 49ers QB, got some new ink this week. (See! Told you he wasn’t on a cruise letting girls do body shots off of him right after the Super Bowl loss. Who do you think he is, Gronk?) Kaepernick announced the tats on his Instagram page.
I bet Kevin Durant is impressed. I bet Jerry Richardson is cringing.
The real tattoo question is whether or not Kaepernick will cover his forearms in tattoos this offseason.
Somewhere, a 50+ ink-stained wretch is wondering how he can spin this into a column about tattoos and QBs. Take a fresh angle! You can do it!

I bet his nipples hurt afterward.

I’m guessing he’s got a brother on death row, and the ink is the code to his secret escape plan.

Man did that show fall apart quickly, I haven’t trusted a new FOX drama since

you didn’t see that coming from the beginning? The show was called Prison Break. They broke out of prison. hmmmm, what do we do now? Oh shit, put them back in prison!

I was younger then and still full of hope in life, perhaps it was Prison Break which started me down the path of cynicism and darkness

i kept watching 24, which was the same plot each season. the only difference in all of them was when Jack Bauer was dope sick in season 3.

That’s why I haven’t watched a second of The Following.

I think he is trying to find a killer and has no short term memory.

Wife and I are in the middle of season 3 on netflix. If it wasn’t for no commercials and the ability to watch 2-3 episodes during a sitdown I’d be done with it. Regardless, I’m committed to watching through the end to see how it all wraps up.
I actually thought (so far) that season 2 (when they’re NOT in prison) was the best season thus far.
