Titans Score In 4th Q, McCarthy Dismisses QB Situation, Bellarmine College Prep Coach Resigns, Yankees Back In ALCS
FOOTBALL
In Monday Night Football, the Tennessee Titans took until the 4th quarter to score all three of its touchdowns in their win over the Indianapolis Colts. Marcus Marietta threw for a season high 306 yards to help his team’s comeback. Titans 36, Colts 22.
Packer Coach Mike McCarthy held a press conference about the quarterback situation in Green Bay now that its been reported Aaron Rodgers will have surgery on a broken collarbone. McCarthy snapped at a reporter who asked if there’s any consideration in signing Colin Kaepernick or any other veteran by saying, ‘The quarterback room is exactly where it needs to be, OK? We’re fortunate to have a great quarterback in Aaron Rodgers. We’re committed to the path that we’re on. We need to play better as a football team.”
Speaking of Kaepernick (again), a junior varsity assistant coach, Jacob Malay, at Bellarmine College Prep in San Jose California submitted his resignation when a handful of the high school varsity players knelt during the National Anthem at a game a few weeks ago. In his resignation letter he stated, “The act of kneeling during the national anthem doesn’t create dialogue, it creates division.†He went on to say,  “It is shameful because BCP not only knew (or should have known) this was going to happen, but didn’t do anything to stop it. As adults in this equation, it is our fundamental duty to act when we know, or eventually realize, that irreparable harm is being done.†According to the San Jose Mercury News, the protest has caused a deep divide in the community.
