Post NFL season media are like cops in a small wasp town.. They have nothing exciting to do so they pull you over for crooked license plates.
This is not a story and not worthy of bandwidth or analysis.

How much time does this guy spend on Niners article. Jealousy I suppose.

I would probably be taking some mood elevators if I were a lions fan too!

“Of course, nothing can be finalized yet. Whether Alex is with us or he’s somewhere else next season, he’s been a great teammate to me,” Kaepernick said in an interview that can been seen on Thursday at 7 p.m. ET on “NFL Total Access.” “(He’s) been a great friend, a great mentor. So anywhere he goes, or if he’s still with us, he’s gonna be successful.”

@hendeeze i said that 10 minutes ago and said he couldnt care less about this eric guy because that wasn’t what the interview was supposed to be about. nfl network on the other hand asked him before. classy network deleting my comment. what a loser eric is.

Actually he wasn’t mum on the trade. He called Smith a great team mate, “[He's] been a great friend, a great mentor. So anywhere he goes, or if he’s still with us, he’s gonna be successful.”

He just didn’t say it on your network because he was plugging the “Let’s Move” campaign.

And the winners is……Colin Kaepernick.

Well played CK7, well played.

I love how people are saying kaepernick will now show his true colors and stumbler! The noose is tightening! Yea because a run in the season, playoffs, and a tremendous comeback in the Super Bowl ending with questionable refs and he can’t handle pressure!!!! Keep singing the same song everyone loves it when rotten egg gets splat on your face!

My favorite part is when a poster referred to Erik Kuselias as a journalist. Hilarious!

Or maybe, just maybe Erik Kuselias knew he’d get an article if he kept asking and kept getting blown off, like he was some intrepid Lois Lane really putting the screws to Lex.

I guess Kaep decided to avoid the Cribbs route on these subjects.

Ha, I love me some Kaepernick. Just like his coach, he’s all about football (and sometimes charity) and doesn’t care about appeasing the media.

The media…..petty little perpetrators of gossip in the endless quest of “the story” or “breaking news”

But….I’ll take the endless petty banter by all media segments vs the stale, canned mainstream media in the days of old.

New media…..and this site is a testament to this….has put tremendous pressure on those that want to control the message.

5 boring stories like this are worth it for each of the hilarious gems that only new media brings us.

Kuselias is a journalist, so he’s got to try to get the question answered, just like Kaepernick is an athlete there to talk about something else, so he’s got to stonewall. No big deal.

What I don’t understand is why Florio is crying about it now. The act of asking the question doesn’t compel the subject to answer it; they answer it if they want to. This isn’t your first day, is it, Mike?

Not surprising at all. Kap never gives any insight to anything, did anyone hear the interviews leading up to the SB? All talking points. Maybe a product of the huge spotlight on him but maybe that’s how he is.

Maybe he’s just a good kid who knows when to keep his mouth shut. Pretty refreshing actually.

The Chiefs are too impatient. They should nix the deal and then the 49ers will be forced to release Smith. Then the Chiefs sign him on their own terms. Hairbough’s head will explode.

Ohhh poor little interviewer. Didn’t get his question answered. So he should respond? Don’t overlook he’s right, the trade is not final so why comment in it. What of the trade falls through? Seems to me Kaepernick was acting with class …I know it’s hard to comprehend that

All Kap has to say is that Smith is a great guy and no matter what happens he knows Alex will do good things.

It’s easy. Sometimes agents/handlers/PR people make things too complicated.

the title should read,”Erik Kuselias does’nt know when to keep his mouth shut”.

Why is this even a story? You media losers are ridiculous. If a guy says something out of line, you give him hell. If he gives an honest but still “proper” response, youll attempt to twist and interpret his words in a negative fashion. Last but not least, if he tries to cover his own back by not responding at all, youll criticize him for that too. Get a life.

If he would have said something this article would have been about him opening his mouth when he should have kept it shut. EK is probably just upset he couldn’t get his credit for reporting it “first.”

After getting the door slammed in his face twice, he asked the same question a third time. Wow, its called respecting the process. Here is a kid doing a charitable event, and instead of the media trying to help the cause, they’d rather ask gossipy questions. All you have to do is wait a few weeks,if that, the trade will be final and you can get his apparently billion dollar opinion on the subject. In the meantime, try not to bash him over something so petty.

After being asked with a third “angle” I would have went off on the reporter. Annoying.

I think Kaepernick was smart to keep his opinion to himself. It’s not his place to judge the situation.

Didn’t we just read a thread about LeSean McCoy campaigning for Vick? You’re not going to get an objective view from a team mate who is not likely to know details.

Erik Kuselias wants details, like we all do, of a situation that in a state of flux. Football players don’t owe the media any information just because they’re being interviewed.
