Colin Kaepernick has managed to enrapture the attention of the American people with his national anthem antics, but a mere 17 years ago, Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf, formerly known as Chris Jackson, started the trend. These athletes are great at sparking controversy, but how will their skills handle something slightly more homegrown? We’re taking our Chevy to the levy for a good ol’ apple pie bake-off! No doubt a tasty battle with Kaep’s savory filling against Ab-Ra’s veteran seasoning. We’re here to break it down.

| Colin Kaepernick | Mahmoud Abdul | |
| Style | With his unconventional style and bay area influence look for possibly a mug pie coming from the Kaep camp | We expect the classic crossover stitch dough as the top of this pie |
| Apples | Golden state delicious apples from the bay area backup | Expect the great free throw shooter would use Granny shot Smith apples |
| Toppings | Famous for his flour crumble topping, also known as “fumble” | Could throw in a screwball and garnish with some extra sharp cheddar or maybe some pepper jack |
JUDGES: The foremost apple pie experts from all corners of this great country:
- Oprah – No doubt she has indulged in her fair share, and might have surprise pies for the whole crowd
- Johnny Bravo – He likes pie
- Clint Eastwood – Go ahead, make his day, and make him some pie while you’re at it
- Betty White – The most experienced apple pie maker on the panel
CONCLUSION: The judges have their work cut out for them as picking a winner is no envious task when it comes to judging these delectable desserts. A definite key for the San Fran QB is going to be the ice cream pocket presence of the French Vanila, because no one likes a running pie. On the other hand, Mahmoud needs a strong two man game with the brown sugar and cinnamon combo, maybe learning a bit from Mutombo. One thing is for certain, it is going to be a very scrumptious showdown between these two in this classic American pie classic.
