Good morning, winners! Thanks for reading Morning Win today. We appreciate you giving us a little of your time this morning.

Jayden Daniels and the commanders performing an incredible Hail Mary pass beating the Bears is taking up most of the air in the room this morning. Reasonably so. What an incredible play.

That’s a lucky break for Nick Bosa, who would probably be in the spotlight a little more today otherwise after he selfishly decided to barge into his teammate’s postgame interview to make a political statement. bosa proudly showed off a MAGA hat for the millions of people watching at home to see, tacitly supporting Donald Trump in the 2024 elections.

He didn’t say a word. He barely looked at the camera. He just walked up and He pointed to his hat.

First of all, I thought we were limited to NFL sports. But I guess that only applies when someone takes a stand (or a knee) against police brutality in this country. But I digress.

Considering that Bosa made the explicit decision to show the hat, one would think he would be prepared to talk about his decision and what the hat and the movement it represents means to him after sharing it with the world.

But if you thought that, like I did! – you would be wrong.

Instead of standing up for his beliefs when confronted, he tucked his tail in and ran. “I’m not going to talk too much about that. But I think it is an important moment.” he told reporters.

Bosa seemed to want people to know who he is with. But when asked why he feels this way, he didn’t want to talk about it. The best he could offer was: “It’s an important moment.” Well, yes, Nick. Duh. We all know it.

One of two things is happening here:

Or Bosa isn’t well-equipped enough to articulate his position and talk about why he wore the hat on national television, in which case he probably shouldn’t have worn the hat at all.

Or you can explain your feelings here, but you’re simply afraid to do so. Which, to put it plainly, folks, is pure cowardice.

Considering who has now become a great “talker”, I would lean towards the latter. Either way, it’s a real shame.

If you are leaning on hate, stand firm. After all, that’s the statement he wanted to make by barging into his teammate’s interview.

Seven years ago, Colin Kaepernick was in the same space on the opposite end of the spectrum. He was asked about kneeling during the national anthem at NFL games. When they asked him about it, he did not run away. He stood firm in everything he believed in. He lost his job because of it. He wasn’t afraid of the consequences. He didn’t care what people thought. He just did what he thought was right.

At the very least, even if you didn’t agree with the way Kaepernick protested, you had to at least respect his message and what he was willing to sacrifice to ensure everyone received it.

Nick Bosa doesn’t have that kind of guts.

On the one hand, I can’t blame him. I would probably also feel embarrassed if I supported someone who held a protest. Full of seedy people spouting racist, misogynistic and anti-Semitic hate speeches. about the marginalized communities that make our country the special place it is. I would wonder why there was so much hate in my heart and why I would have thought to support someone like that in the first place.

But then again, that’s clearly why Bosa felt so encouraged to wear the hat in the first place. Those are your people. he is is no stranger to the type of hate we saw during Sunday’s Trump rally at MSG and the racist rhetoric we’ve seen on the campaign trail these past few months.

Instead of accepting that and showing people who he really is when faced with it, he ran away from it. I couldn’t stand it. I didn’t want to talk about it.

Nick Bosa is not only a coward, but he is also someone who does not deserve your respect. He certainly doesn’t have mine.

They did dirty to Dwyane Wade

The Miami Heat finally unveiled the Dwyane Wade statue on Sunday. It was time. He is the best player in the history of the organization and one of the best players in NBA history. He deserves a statue.

To be honest with you, I’m still not really sure I understood it. Because who the hell is this?

That’s supposed to be Dwyane Wade doing the whole “This is my house” song stuff. But they made my boy look a Goomba from the 1993 Super Mario movie. This is a farce.

THIS WAS SO UNCOMFORTABLE: We’re all wondering “Who is that guy?” along with D Wade..

Paul Pierce says this statue needs to be touched up and I couldn’t agree more. Someone fix this.

Because, let me tell you, what if my team just lost on a Hail Mary where someone was wide open in the back of the end zone? Someone is being thrown under the bus.

However, Johnson took the high road, our Robert Zeglinski writes. He did not attribute responsibility to anyone; he simply noted that the Bears needed to improve.

“There should never be someone wide open in the back of the end zone. Also, at the end of the day we didn’t execute it well enough. I can’t tell you who was supposed to be there. I don’t know. But at the end of the day, there should never be anyone open in the back of the end zone. “We all have to find a way to execute better down the stretch.”

He is better than me. because I’m pointing the Finger right on Tyrique Stevenson..

I’m just petty. Forgive me.

HAIL MARY OF AMERICA: Jayden Daniels may have decided the election with this one.
