oh.... mkay. I'm sure he said it on the show to get some feels, but.... isn't your biggest goal with being an athlete, um, being an athlete? making the playoffs? maybe gettin' a ring??
As I've said about TGII, you look at a player's socials & you can tell if they love football or not. Because there's football in their socials. Or workout vids, etc. TGII, it was obvious he was "bored with scoring TD's" (his words). Is Kobie already bored with football? I know athletes are so much more than just football players, they're people, they have lives too, etc. and I applaud that, and it's obvious how much he loves music. So I'm not trying to dog the guy -- he's already an incredible football player -- but it's starting to seem like he's more interested in costumes than trophies, and that can grow into something that can affect the whole locker room. Who else wants to jump off the platform that being an NFL player gives them?
Football is his job. He's delivering on the field. Let the man be.

....like I was saying, he filmed it in the offseason, so we're good :D
We're good no matter when it was filmed because he would have gotten team approval to do it in season.

I think it's great too -- amazing, in fact! he nailed this song -- but guys... aren't you just a *little* concerned here?
Kobie Turner is 1st and foremost a starting DT for the Los Angeles Rams. If he can't say that, then why is he on the team?
I'm *hoping* he just said this for the feels. But please, read this statement s l o w l y :
“My biggest goal with being an athlete is to be able to show we’re so much more than just athletes.”
He's right -- NFL players ARE so much more than athletes, they're human beings -- but these reality shows take a LOT of time to produce, rehearse, practice, etc. so this isn't "just a personal hobby" for him, like cooking, gardening, etc., things you can do in your *spare* time. I can drop the spatula any time my coach calls & says he wants to go over something. Even music, I can drop my guitar & pick up a playbook whenever I want to. But I CANNOT back out of a major commitment to appear on a heavily-produced network show like the masked singer -- this is NOT just spending some time on a personal hobby. Think about all the work & time he had to put in to making this appearance -- just getting him fitted to that "Goo" costume took time out of his schedule somewhere.
I know, maybe he worked it out with his coaches, but you have a game like the crap show our D-line just had with the Eagles, then this comes out?
"Imagine getting upset over this" -- I sure am, @badnews . The only thing that will make me overlook this is if this show was taped in the offseason. Otherwise he has no business doing stuff like this when we're trying to make the playoffs, and yes we still have a chance, but only if everyone on that D-Line stays FOCUSED. If we're gonna make it, we need more "Conductor" and less "Goo".
Kobie is first and foremost a human being. Being a football player is his job.

I'm only ever concerned about what a Rams player does off the field if it gets in the way of him doing his job, otherwise these guys have lives to live just like the rest of us. But Kobie's been outstanding this season, even better than his stellar rookie year, so this is a non-issue. Also like others have pointed out these aren't live shows and were filmed during the off-season.

Cool story though, obviously an insanely muti-talented person.

There once was a #2 pick in the draft that was known for trying to become a rapper while also trying to be a LT for the LA Rams. Hell, he wasn't even good at smuggling bags of dope over the border an is in jail right now as far as I know.
Kobie is a stud on the Dline and in his off time he likes to sing. Kobie, you do you.

I love me some K. Turner but does anyone really watch that show? :wow2:

I only watched a few segments on youtube when a couple of my favorite singers were on there.

But the big question is, who in the hell would have guessed it's Kobie Turner singing?
No one hardly even knows who he is outside of Rams nation.
I thought it was only famous singers already on the show.

Hell, he could have went on there without a mask or costume and none of the judges could have guess who he was, haha.

You asked so my opinion: I understand what you are stating but quit while you’re behind. Wrong “dog” to dog.

Wear the Purple Rain Prince outfit.
"Purple Rain, Purple Rain"''''
I was thinking something more along the lines of “Roadhouse Blues” while rocking this…

Turner is talented and sure can sing.
But I can't stand any of those types of shows.

I did not watch it either.
Our airwaves are full of garbage these days.
We watch a lot of k-dramas at home lol -- much cleaner and based more on real life. Somewhat lol. But much better TV.
Tried watching a BBC show the other day, and I got about 10 minutes into it & had to shut it off.
