Just to expand a bit about my experiences with Colin Kaepernick. I tailgated several times with his adoptive parents Rick and Theresa, they are very nice people and have obviously raised the kid right. I was lucky enough to meet him before and after several games. The first time Rick introduced me, Colin shook my hand and called me Sir. The next time I saw him, he called me Sir until I asked him to use my first name. He still answered my questions with, "No Sir" and " Yes Sir". The last time I saw him at a local event, we made eye contact, and he made his way over to me, and told me his parents still talk about the memories they made with me and my family while he played here. The fondest of mine being, when we all partied, and sat together at the Fight Hunger Bowl in San Francisco when we beat Boston College his Senior year. The point of my rambling on is, he was a fine young man then, and I'm sure he has matured further in the 5 years since.As to the arm kissing, his arm is covered in scripture tatoos and he says he is " Showing Praise to the Words when he does it" Theresa rolls her eyes a bit, and says behind her hand, " There is a little pride involved in the act too"
