The Next Pandemic: SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19
dpberr replied to Hedge's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
That truly borders on satire. "Should we see if they will do it, just for fun?" -conversations inside the CDC Multiple masks....multiple vaccines.... -
Don't think for a minute teams always hire the "best" candidate or GM. They don't. They are often manipulated and steered to certain candidates by consultants and coaching agents. In no universe, including all of the parallel ones where strange things happen, has any NFL team said they were lucky to pick Adam Gase because he was the best choice. Juan Castillo's agent is the greatest agent of all time in any sport. There is absolutely no one better at accomplishing the mission of getting their client a job. That man has been a nightmare of a coach at so many professional stops yet gets jobs with ease, sometimes the very next year after being fired.

The Next Pandemic: SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19

Yet "we" don't seem to be as interested on fixing those. Spend anytime in any store and you're right - 6 out of the 10 people you'd first see upon entering are probably going to be obese. The parents are going to obese and their kids likely are too. You'd think with how COVID preys on the vitamin deficient obese body, you'd see a push not only for checking vitamin levels, healthier eating and getting out and getting a little exercise, but a push to get folks into medical/bariatric weight management programs. There is help out there. -

He's a priority to resign. -
Bills Asst. LB coach leaving for Vandy
dpberr replied to UConn James's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I don't get why you'd leave a job in a successful NFL franchise for a job in a college football purgatory. -
Wentz isn't as mobile as he was in 2017 and he seemed to be shell shocked while out on the field this last season.

He's been average since Craig Fitzgerald left the Texans as their S&C coach and I think the rest of the league knows it. He probably joins the Giants because that's where Fitzgerald got a job in 2020.

Makes sense to me. Amazon is probably at a peak in the current climate. I really question whether the Amazon business model is truly sustainable. I know the company is making a lot of profit now in pandemic times, but there's a lot more money going in to getting you your $5 cat key chains in two days than the money they are getting out of it.

One and Done: Eagles - Nick Sirianni. This was a panic hire by the Eagles and the team thinks they are getting a Frank Reich clone. I don't think so. Eagles won't do well and a "name" candidate will come available and that'll be it.

Source: LB Matt Milano looking for “top dollar” in FA
dpberr replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Rough year to hit FA for the first time. If there's no indication fans can return to stadiums where it makes real money for teams, I expect most of the league to mind those expenses again this year and keep the powder dry. -
Great season. No ifs ands or buts. Was amazing to experience it again. Look forward to doing it again.

Fox News becomes even less recognizable as "News"
dpberr replied to WideNine's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
"News" died on 9/11. Similar to the downfall of ESPN, cable news is now just a menagerie of echo chambers of talking heads "personalities" spewing opinion. Americans tunes into the echo chamber that validates their personal beliefs and opinions. -
As for your sewer system, I'd video it first to see if you're ok or not. I'll add a preventative maintenance tip - have your water tested. If you do not soften your water, and your water happens to be acidic, the acid in your water is doing a slow, incremental job corroding your copper pipes if you have them. At some point, pinhole leaks can develop, usually on the horizontal pipes, and the soldered joints can get weak. Once you start with those leaks, the paranoia of a more catastrophic failure grows. You know those failures only occur when the house is unoccupied, usually for several hours. 😃

The Color of Money was an excellent movie sequel. For most people who enjoyed that film, they probably didn't realize it was even a sequel. I swear pool as a game exploded in popularity by 300% because of that movie. Goldeneye would also be in my Top 10 great sequels because in the early 90s, the Bond franchise was dead and forgotten. Before Sunset was probably "better" than Before Sunrise because it has such a deep feeling of finality. Since I crapped on Die Hard 5, I'd say Die Hard 3 (Die Hard with a Vengeance) is not only the best sequel in that franchise but an overall above average sequel. Would have been an amazing sequel if they would have kept the original darker ending. A sequel that will never be made but I wish it would be: True Lies 2.

Die Hard 5: No redeeming qualities whatsoever and the start of Bruce Willis's lazy "I'm here for the paycheck" acting.

Urban Meyer is going to pull a Bobby Petrino on Jacksonville if they are foolish enough to hire him. I don't know what Chicago sees in keeping Nagy/Pace.
