Maybe players should purposely catch covid now, so they don't during the season.

Probably not a medically sound idea, but I would consider it.

Like when we were young and our parents made us go play with the kid who had chicken pox.

 

You’re lucky. My parents made us play in traffic.

people will continue to test positive and be fine.  with no vaccine positive tests could continue forever.  You want to just keep all sports an everything closed until a vaccine?  insanity.

It is literally INSANE to worry about a global pandemic rather than people getting liquored up and jumping through tables.  People need to get their priorities straight.

Sounds like you’ve built up an immunity to jaywalking.

So much so, I don’t bother to look both ways. ?

You're not allowed to act like you care about lives if you support protests stemming from the murder of a man at the hands of the police?

 

Of course you are allowed.  By the same token, you shouldn't be welding up playgrounds where dozens of kids have been playing, if you're comfortable with thousands in close proximity in the protest. .

Per NFL.com

 

Need to call off the 2020 season imo. You can't socially distance in a team sport like football. Its inevitable that players will continue to test positive.

As much as I miss sports, I agree with you 100%.  What happens if during the NFL or MLB season, a few teams have players that test positive for Covid 19?  Do they forfeit their games for the next two to three weeks?

 

I live in Las Vegas.  Since the riots began and the implementation of Phase 2 that allowed some of the casinos to reopen, our number of new Covid 19 infections has sky rocketed.  I understand that the owners are loosing money, but so are millions of people across our country.  

 

By trying to force reopening before it is safe, this will just push us back to a stay at home situation again and prolog the unemployment of many.

 

Just forget sports in 2020 and lets hope for a vaccine sooner rather than later.  Covid 19 is not going away anytime soon.  Just my very humble opinion.

I guess its a good thing that position was just invented by you after your 3rd consecutive retreat and "what about?".  Boring stuff, even for you.  You need about 137 more bouts with Big Cat before you're ready for prime time.

I actually stated that in my initial riposte to Logic, because we had this same conversation a week ago.

 

I miss Big Cat.  Did the heat maps eventually kill him?

Irv, I won’t comment on this one anymore, but curious, did you’re parents give you three scissors to juggle?  Now that would be funny.  Just kidding and like you’re avatar.  I enjoyed watching him growing up as we had what 5 channels and two TVs.  2,4,7, Canadian channel  (loved that one in the summer as they had the Flinstones at one point when I wasn’t out playing), and channel 29.  29 was awesome for at that time the reruns of Star Trek, Brady Bunch and so on.

The virus will dictate everything.  Some are taking it seriously and some are not. It wouldn't surprise me if baseball, basketball and football are all lost this year. A vaccine probably won't be ready till December or January. Forget about a 2nd wave. We haven't even come down from our initial curve. Countries like Italy & Spain have bottomed out on their first curve yet nationally we're just going straight across. They're now projecting 200k dead in the US by Oct 1st. Every time a player tests positive it will freak out the rest (players, coaches & personnel).  Just human nature. I pray I'm wrong but I see MLB, NBA & NFL in serious jeopardy.

They weren't scissors.  They had me juggle cobras.  Built up a hell of an immunity.  As far as the Cowboys and Texans go Researchers are now studying the effects of a) getting your ass solidly kicked by the Bills and b) horrible playoff officiating as potential causes of COVID-19.

My parents encouraged me to run with the scissors. 

 

 

If all of our parents had done the same, we’d have herd immunity by now.  As it is, were years away from a vaccine.  I’m drinking fish tank cleaner just to be safe.

I was too. Really thought we'd battle it out with KC/Balt. for the AFC title. 

 

Yeah sad to see. Just hope there will be a Buffalo Bills team come the 2021 season. Who knows with all this insanity going on. Been hearing and reading a lot of chatter of people Boycotting the NBA and NFL recently. Can this be true? Anyone read the same?

It is inevitable that players will test positive. The college kids have as well as they return for workouts at school. They are quarantining anyone who tests positive. Not cancelling the season. 

smart teams will have their teams work closely together now.

any player actually getting sick (which is unlikely due to their age and health) can be treated now 

 

Acquire herd immunity to avoid problems later

The goal should be to get the whole team exposed in a controlled environment

Oh the panic, absolute panic.

 

SO THEY HAVE IT?  They are world class athletes with world class medical facilities, the NFL wont have any shortage of tests for it, most of them will get the virus and barely feel any symptoms.  Now they have to have at least an 85 IQ not to to visit the in firmed,  old folks and nursing homes while during infectious stages.

Or they pass it on to a buddy who passes it to his girlfriend who passes it to her friend who passes it to her father who passes it to his cousin who happens to work in a nursing home.  Now five people in a nursing home die because this world class athlete unknowingly passed it to his girlfriend.
