Of course I could fall back on Roethlisbergering.

49ers fans just keep reppin' their fan base well around here. Yeah, he claims it's a sign for the Lord. Problem is, kissing your bicep has had an entirely different meaning for a very long time before this, and it's rather opposite from what most people think the Bible teaches. What a joke. Talk about a ridiculous cop-out.


Equally stupid, and I bashed him in a thread about it at the time.

That is how he chooses to honor the scriptures on his arms. How does that make him an arrogant SOB?

May be the wrong person, but haven't you mentioned how the meaning of words change over time??

Couldn't that apply to actions as well?

Sure it could, but give me any evidence whatsoever that kissing your bicep has changed its meaning.

i don't know if you'd call it arrogant.. but supposedly the bible says you're not suppose to mark your body , meaning not suppose to get tattoos.. so to get a tattoo of bible scriptures then honor it during your td celebration, when it goes against the teachings of the bible.. may not be arrogant but i'm sure the bible has a word for it... my word would be ignorant if this is indeed true.

I really don't know if he is profiting from it, but I doubt it. People trademark intellectual property for protection as well, not just for financial gain. I saw that Nike was making a shirt. I am not familiar with the structures of merchandising sales but I do believe the revenue is shared amongst the players and does not go to a certain one.

He clearly did not start taking a knee and kissing his tattoo of bible scriptures for his own financial gain. The odds of Nike approaching him or one of his representatives approaching him to do so is really high.

If you listen to him speak or cast less judgement, I don't think you would find him an arrogant SOB. He seems like a class act from what I have seen.

We'll have to wait and see how much more douche stuff he does then. Kaep doesn't come off as a douche to me at all unlike other players like culliver and goldson who always talk smack or justin smith always wanting a flag after a play

He's coming off as a douche more with his actions, rather than words. We all know which speaks louder. I'll be curious to see what the future holds.

Lol so Kaep is a douche because he kisses his biceps? From all the interviews I've seen of him he's come off as very classy and a likable guy

Maybe some of you should stop being 14 years old and grow up

Anybody's a douche that kisses their bicep as a celebration for anything. It's not limited to just him.

Yeah I don't buy that one bit

i think you should have bicepts before you go kissing them and making it a td celebration, regardless whats tattooed on them.. and yes i think some of the stuff Sherman does lacks a little class.. but that's just me.
