Remember when Sports Illustrated was a thing? When did they disappear? I'm gonna say 15 years ago?

Goodbye racism! The NBA pretty much almost ended racism already, so this should definitely finish it off.

I only voted because I saw the 6 seed and felt disrespected.

Agree to disagree...

That will get you me-first players who are over the hill and looking to make a buck before they retire.

JAX is an awful place to play. Between the HC and the ridiculous amount of player grievances there is no reason to sign there.

I won't care about the season til it starts. Even then I won't let myself invest emotionally into the season because half of me believes we're not making it through the whole season. Not only is there zero bubble in the NFL, they are allowing fans in stadiums according to state regulations. So even if everyone in the league is 100% safe, you could have some moron come to the game and start a an outbreak.

TG has an axe to grind with the Pegulas. 3 people leave and "the entire marketing department" is used to try and fan the flames of pretty much nothing.

Spags, glad you're back. Hope you brought your shine box. I got a pair of wingtips that are still scuffed from kicking you around the board the last time you were around. Surprised you didn't say anything about how your QB, the mascot for Wendys, is better than ours. You fall in love with her yet?

The Filibusters

I listened to the whole zoom conference call and came out less certain than I'd like to be. He talked about how making sacrifices now will eventually set up his family for generations to come (ok this is sounding good), but in the next breather he also mentioned how he didn't go to the DB workouts because he didn't want to go through the airport and expose his kids to anything (back to being uncertain). If I had to guess I'd say he is 51/49 leaning towards playing but is trying to justify his decision to himself. Hard to lose an All-Pro and compete. Then again, this is shaping up to be a weird anomaly of a season. It's one thing to have a team looking out for each other and taking precautions, but it's a whole other thing knowing you have to fly to another town, expose yourself to the risks of an unknown environment where you don't know if the people you are playing are taking things seriously. If given the option as a player with financial security, I'd probably opt out myself.

Strongly doubt it considering the salary cap will drop about 25M next year. There is no evidence of any negotiating ploy and no time to get a blockbuster deal done.

I did like the ".. for his age. He looks ok for his age."

Find someone who looks at you the way Kay Adams looks at Josh Allen

I'm seeing a lot of gum-flapping and complaining over the possibility someone else's decision affects their entertainment. It's his decision, let's leave it at that. Athletes don't owe you anything and likewise you owe them nothing.

Then send about 100+ people home for each team where their sphere of contact increases exponentially. Unless everyone is tested daily before contact with anyone at the facility, someone will get COVID, come to practice and screw the whole team. Teams with widespread illness will not participate in the season because of it.

The only thing that will work is a bubble as shown by the NBA/MLS. The NFL won't want to lose the ticket revenue and the bubble would have to be enormous to accomodate these large rosters so that's never going to happen. I expect we will not make it through an entire season.

Link to rumors?

So Olinemen and Dlinemen can lineup inches away from each other, grunt, spit and scream directly in each other's faces, but they are then required to sit 6 feet apart in the locker room? Effective.

That's disingenuous. We had a pick and traded it. We would pick 22 in this scenario. Come on, you know that.

Hi @Hapless Bills Fan. I have a question if that's ok. Has there been a lower rate of cases vs deaths? I feel like I keep reading that test cases coming in positive recently have had a large percentage of asymptomatic subjects. Thanks! EDIT: Great question, ndirish1978 and I'm not sure of the answer. In the US and globally, we're running about 5.1% CFR (case fatality rate), with of course a bunch of patients still hospitalized and outcomes uncertain. At one point I think we were running 8% CFR in the US, which was 10-13% in NYC and 3% everywhere else. https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html It really can't be otherwise - early in the epidemic, you had to have flown back from Wuhan where you swore you licked a pneumonia patient to get a test. In NYC people who had clearly covid-19 relevant symptoms but weren't critically ill were given a sheet of instructions, no test, and sent home. Only very sick people got admitted to hospital and only hospital admits got tests. We have more hospital capacity now, so we can start hospitalizing and treating people before they're desperately ill, and we have more testing capacity so we can test people who have just been exposed. I don't think that's all of it though - I think we have better treatment protocols, and a better handle on which existing medications are truly helpful, so people who are seriously ill have better outcomes as long as we maintain hospital capacity Opinion: I think the infected, asymptomatic younger people were always there, we just didn't have the testing capacity to know they were there before.

Needlessly aggressive takes to people making positive comments about a positive thing. You two must be real joys to be around. Enjoy patting yourselves on the back for "keeping it 100" while alienating the people around you. Life's too short to pee in everyone's cereal all the time guys. There is a time for dissenting voices, this light fluff thread is not one of them.

Yeah it's not online. It's not on CBS All Access or youtube.
