May Day 10

I have to say, my anxiety level on all this peaked about 3 days ago and has receded to pre-3/11 levels (that Wednesday was when I started to freak out, well before my friends and family). Part of it (maybe a large part) is I know 3-5 people who currently have it. Only 1 of them counts toward the 30,000 or whoever has it in the US (and Erie County). They are for the most part very fine and just recuperating at home. A little bit of familiarity makes it less scary and is a reminder that this is not a doomsday virus. I feel like the hospitalization and mortality rate are likely a lot lesser than what we have been conditioned to accept. Other than celebrities and politicians, the people who are getting tested are those with severe symptoms for the most part. Now I understand everything that goes into a desperate need to flatten the curve and how we need to curb the load on medical facilities. Also the fact that it is a serious ailment in many patients. We are going to be under lockdown and things will get weird (and probably a bit crazy/frightening over the next 2 weeks). But it will pass. Lots of minds are working towards treatments, testing etc. The economy will be there for us on the back side of it.

Imo belichick is the danger. Now he is going to go all in on winning without brady.

Will they burn jerseys?

Wow. Didnt think it would happen

Wow, they have people they refer to as the "pro o'Brien posse"

One thing to remember.... the Bills do not have many available roster spots for all their low-round picks. They could afford this

I'm sure it's been answered... but is the cap penalty for the Pat's re-signing brady at midnight or noon tomorrow?

Wow! Excellent!

Sahlens hot dogs are overrated.

Im sure Wrestlemania is completely in jeopardy.... but until its off, their philosophy is 'full steam ahead'. We will see the path of this thing in the next 2 weeks. Its either going to be dissipating, we got ahead of it, and we are going to start to laugh at ourselves (I hope). Or we are going to have a few pockets similar to Italy and things will be hitting the fan, and in that case, Wrestlemania is an easy cancel. The final decision just doesnt need to be made quite yet

It's not continuity as much as it is competence They could have had rex, 4chan, jauron, nix, brandon, levy, etc continue for multiple decades and it wouldnt have made a difference.

Good on mcmahon and the xfl To show appreciation, I will give them a chance next year. The decision couldnt have been easy

Here's to hoping we see them play before long. Win or lose

If they hold these games, McMahon can get dysentery.

morning skates have been cancelled. I was supposed to go to tomorrow's game. Looking like that will not happen.

I wonder what happens with the salary cap if the NHL needs to cancel? Thats a lot of revenue for a gate-driven league. Especially if the playoffs cannot be played

months. This is bad. No politics to it. People need to please check that at the door. It is coming to every corner, many will get sick, many wont, many will die. Things are going to be disrupted and sideways and the economy is going to get ugly. This is completely different than those other outbreak scares. It is here, it is very contagious, and will be deadly.

Botterill started with all his picks, Kane, OReilly, Eichel, Reinhart, Ristolainen, and really only 2 bad contracts (and other teams always seem to be able to get out from bad contracts). Also fell into Rasmus Dahlin There were some organizational depth issues, but they have not been addressed the way this GM has wasted picks on nothing and upcoming UFA. Im not going to cry for Botterill's 'situation'. A competent NHL GM would have a whole lot more to hang his hat on now, going into his 4th (wow!) offseason than "Kahun".

If there is profit to be made, the behemoth nfl will swallow it whole.

It's far enough out where this will play out by then The real concern now is halting or slowing the spread.

I just wonder what happens if he is in his "giving up stance", the ref is saying 'no!' and holding his hand up.... and the returner decides to streak up the field and score a touchdown. That could happen, and IMO would count. That is what the fair catch signal and taking a knee are for. To cut the gray area.

After the fact, looking at the interpretations and such, IMO it should have been a safety. With that said, I do not blame the loss on that, nor think anyone went out of the way to screw the Bills over.

That is the issue with some CHL high-end players, and it hurts their development. Cozens absolutely needs to be in the AHL next year.

I really liked Wawa when I lived in NJ/Philly for a few years.
