BuffaloMatt Posted June 18, 2020 Posted June 18, 2020 The real question is can he throw a ball over the LB and drop a dime to the receiver under the CB? Just wanted to talk football. That's why I come here. 4 2

The protests started May 26th. I wonder why he waited.

RiotAct Posted June 18, 2020 Posted June 18, 2020 I am shocked at the direction this thread has taken. 3

To much $$$ to be made. Of course this has to(might) happen when the Bills are primed for a great season.

No but as an epidemiologist, I might want to relay that message again loudly and clearly when thousands of people suddenly have good reasons to go outside. 1

Fauci has no authority to postpone anything. He merely offers advice and counsel to the people that direct public health policy. All of them have been wrong from the beginning. Comparing him to “people who want to open everything up” is just a way to divide people from the facts of what we have faced as a nation since March. He’s been right and he’s been wrong, and he’s changed his opinions as frequently as everyone else. His job is to take the science and give advice to those with less knowledge. If he thinks it’s a bad idea to open up football, that’s his opinion, and he can offer it to whoever asks for it. Right or wrong. Yup....depressing how people want to turn this all into yet another political 'us vs them' pissing match. 1
FireChans Posted June 18, 2020 Posted June 18, 2020 Alas @Rocky Landing, the guillotine has come for me, as my actions in this topic have been deemed “crusading”, although I view them more as responding to those who respond to me. So I urge you to continue this conversation in PPP if you wish. 1 2

Well maybe science should stop lying all the damn time! I mean, how hard is it to accurately model global spread of infectious disease by extrapolating 1 month of semi-reliable data from China and the WHO? In my opinion, science lost all credibility when the president of science, Al Gore, was running his mouth about polar bears and America's wang (Florida) being underwater. 4

But won't be surprised if it happens considering Texas is one of the worst run states in the country. 1 1

Given that we've projected exactly what the global climate will be in the future based on modeling 100 years of weather data and evidence of past climate changes that we usually round to the nearest 10,000 years......I'd think it wouldn't be hard at all predict where this virus is going on a weekly basis!! 1
