    It does bug me that when ranking D statistics such as Points Against that Special Teams and Offensive scores against are included.

    If you are going to have all these statistics just use the points against the actual defense.

    I mean how hard can that be?

    Been saying this for years

    A moth goes into a podiatrist’s office, and the podiatrist’s office says, “What seems to be the problem, moth?”

    The moth says “What’s the problem? Where do I begin, man? I go to work for Gregory Illinivich, and all day long I work. Honestly doc, I don’t even know what I’m doing anymore. I don’t even know if Gregory Illinivich knows. He only knows that he has power over me, and that seems to bring him happiness. But I don’t know, I wake up in a malaise, and I walk here and there… at night I…I sometimes wake up and I turn to some old lady in my bed that’s on my arm. A lady that I once loved, doc. I don’t know where to turn to. My youngest, Alexendria, she fell in the…in the cold of last year. The cold took her down, as it did many of us. And my other boy, and this is the hardest pill to swallow, doc. My other boy, Gregarro Ivinalititavitch… I no longer love him. As much as it pains me to say, when I look in his eyes, all I see is the same cowardice that I… that I catch when I take a glimpse of my own face in the mirror. If only I wasn’t such a coward, then perhaps…perhaps I could bring myself to reach over to that cocked and loaded gun that lays on the bedside behind me and end this hellish facade once and for all…Doc, sometimes I feel like a spider, even though I’m a moth, just barely hanging on to my web with an everlasting fire underneath me. I’m not feeling good. And so the doctor says, “Moth, man, you’re troubled. But you should be seeing a psychiatrist. Why on earth did you come here?”

    And the moth says, “‘Cause the light was on.

    Carolina was a LOT of people's sleeper this year. Bam is trying to crack a pretty good DE room.

    They got a decent offensive line, good receivers and STUDS with CMC & Burns. That's gonna be a great game to watch soon. Sam now has a puncher's chance against Josh in this year's rematch.🤜

    Does anybody go to the stadium just to tailgate?

    I absolutely would but I live in Rochester.  I have a portable sat dish and thought more than once about fixing up a rig to watch the games there.  But it's so nice to be in my comphy chair, in my nice warm dry house, watching in HD and surround sound, enjoying as much of my reasonably priced beers and food as I like and not having to drive, and no commercials so it's done in 90 minutes or so (recording)  That snaps me back to reality ;) 

    I also live in Rochacha and me & my girl want to go tailgate with the fans this weekend but don't want to go in to the stadium.

    I'm wondering if I can just pay to get in like the old days or if I need a P ticket like some have suggested

     

     I haven't had season tickets in a couple years & miss the atmosphere before gms ...

    I can see some folks doing that for sure.  I wouldn't however.

     

    I don't know how that would be policed, as long as you get there in time to secure your car's spot in whatever lot you choose to park in.

     

     

    Back in the day, when people could get the tv RF signal, it was fun to hear the roar of the crowd moments before the telecast. Now it is much more difficult to view obviously.

    I understand why young healthy people who have recovered from Covid may feel their natural immunity protects them well enough.  I agree that natural immunity has been under-discussed and to some extent under-studied.  There is some decent evidence that natural immunity + 1 shot provides a huge boost in preventing infection, thus protecting vulnerable people you may be in contact with (knowingly or unknowingly).  Back in the days when I was getting perforated (60s) this was considered a Societal Duty. 

     

    If it's really data-driven about risk, here is a recent comprehensive population studies of vaccine adverse events compared to covid complications. 

    https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2110475

    It includes 880,000 vaccinated and unvaccinated people.  It's pretty clear that adverse events, while they occur, are much lower in frequency than complications of Covid infection. 

    image.thumb.png.a56f885958bda46895b3240805124bc4.png

    Lymphadenopathy means temporarily swollen lymph nodes, usually near the vaccine site, and is a common vaccine side effect because, Working.

     

    As far as VAERS, people misunderstand what VAERS is intended to do.  Doctors are encouraged to report ALL serious adverse events occurring within a couple weeks of vaccination, so that they can be investigated and patterns detected.  It's intended to detect rare adverse events by casting a wide net then investigating.  That's how the very rare blood clot events and cardiomyopathy events were detected, by using VAERS to find patterns of excess events.   VAERS works.  But somehow the same system that detects and investigates and reports rare but serious side effects occurring at low rate of 4 per 100,000 is supposed to be "concealing" thousands of vaccine-related deaths?  (I'm not saying this is what you're saying, but it's kind of implied)

     

    People raise concerns that deaths are attributed to Covid where it wasn't a primary cause (example: an elder with end-stage congestive heart failure is admitted to hospital for heart problems, tests positive for Covid without symptoms, and dies.)  This has happened, almost certainly.   But then people insist that every death reported in VAERS must be due to the vaccine - even though the EXACT SAME THING HAPPENS (someone with a history of coronary artery blockage has a heart attack and dies 2 weeks after being vaccinated and it's reported as a death in VAERS.)   Sometimes it's the same people arguing both things.  I'm not saying it's you, but I've talked to literally dozens of people who have that inconsistent approach.

    I agree with this. Dating someone in the medical field, I get ALL kinds of info. She's very open minded and I'll be the first to admit that I was probably more anti-vax in the beginning but now I've done tons of research and have corresponded on Twitter thru DM with real life epideologists who have dispelled ivermectin rumors and guided me to the shot I'll take when I absolutely HAVE to take it. Hint: it AIN'T J&J 👎

    Unfortunately hamburgers and cash prizes and bills games aren't going to do it for me.

    Gonna share text from a fb post of a pregnant nurse friend in charlotte 

     

    absolutely. Much younger people. And the vaccinated that are sick are MUCH older. Last time it didn’t hit pregnant woman as hard, this time it’s awful!

     

    most of our patients aren’t vaccinated, so I’m not sure. We’ve had a few half vaccinated and a few vaccinated but the vaccinated are well over 70 and thankfully not intubated. It’s hard to tell people “what to do”. Treatment protocol is vitamin c, d3, thiamine, and zinc- for all Covid positive patients. So, that Leads you to believe it’s an immune targeting virus- but then we see so many families(aunts, sisters, not living together) admitted and vented- and it makes you wonder if it has a genetic component? I’m a strong believer in doing what you feel is best. For me, getting vaccinated was very necessary, being pregnant and a Covid nurse, and watching pregnant mamas getting vented every day, I couldn’t put myself in that position.

     

    we had two die on Monday night and the poor wife didn’t even make it in time to say bye  Stay safe friend!

     

     we have 22 vented in PACU with crnas taking care of them because we’re out of staff. We’re supposed to be opening our MICU and putting vented patients there but, again, we don’t have staffing. We’ve never gotten to divert, it just keeps building up

     

     

     

    So keep thinking this is medically tyrnanny while people who actually are living with this ***** and know what's going on are dealing with this.

    And I can show you videos of the adverse effects. We could do this all day. Look at VAERS data if you're curious why younger healthier people who have already had covid are leery of the shot.

    Allow me to speak for the natural immunity crowd as well...we are the forgotten, judged, singled out, left out, science trusting group that for whatever reason went through hell, yet has zero to show for it other than being treated exactly like the unvaccinated. It's very strange, tbh. 

     

    I've had C19 as well and workout regularly, I'm young & not obese. There are many places around New York where you can get a PCR test I got mine at rite aid. A positive test would have sufficed. Unfortunately it's all politics.

    There is no medical or epidemiological justification for the covid passport, it is only intended to pressure the unvaccinated to vaccinate.
