Colin Kaepernick raises eyebrows after wearing Brewers cap during Packers week

Jan 11, 2013 at 11:26 PM--


Quarterback Colin Kaepernick is widely credited with sparking the San Francisco 49ers in the second half of the NFL season. He's already achieved pre-folk hero status on Candlestick Point. He's also definitely considered a reason the Niners might beat the Green Bay Packers this weekend in the NFC playoffs. But can Bay Area sports fans, fresh off the triumph of the San Francisco Giants in the 2012 World Series, completely trust Kaepernick when he wears an enemy's baseball cap in a national TV interview during Packers week?! That's the conundrum facing Kaepernick lovers after the 25-year-old donned a Milwaukee Brewers cap in a sit-down with Kurt Warner of the NFL Network earlier this week. In the video clip provided, Warner addresses Kaepernick's meteoric rise and his myriad tattoos — which gave Kaepernick some negative ink when a crotchety media type felt threatened by them for some reason. (Hey, gramps, it's 2013. Go to bed.) [More NFL: Washington D.C. radio station changes call letters to 'WRG3' ] But notice how Warner delicately avoids any Brewers talk?

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw is currently rehabilitating after undergoing surgery for the torn Achilles he sustained last month during Super Bowl 58. He'll have a partner in his recovery, as he wasn't the only member of the team to suffer that specific injury. Head coach Kyle Shanahan spoke to reporters on Tuesday morning at the NFL owners meetings and revealed that defensive backs coach Daniel Bullocks also sustained a torn Achilles during the game. "[It occurred] about five minutes after Dre's," Shanahan told reporters. "I think it was when [S] Ji'Ayir [Brown] got the interception, he just jumped up and cheered, very similar to Dre's, and his Achilles went too." Bullocks remained on the sideline and continued coaching throughout the

The NFL has penalized the San Francisco 49ers for payroll accounting errors that occurred at the end of the 2022 league year. This has led to the team forfeiting their fifth-round draft pick in 2025 and a reduction in their fourth-round pick in the upcoming draft. San Francisco's fourth-round selection, initially No. 131 overall, now shifts down four spots to the end of the round at No. 135, following the compensatory picks from that round. Despite this setback, the 49ers still possess 10 selections in the 2024 NFL Draft but will be short a pick next year. The team's selections in the upcoming draft are as follows: Round 1, Pick 31 Overall Round
