  1. Yeldon was better than Gore, but they positioned Gore as the most important cornerstone veteran leader and mentor, so they couldn't just bench him, even though he sucked. Instead they tried to just get by with using him less. It was the biggest mistake by the coaching staff last season.

    BUT

    Have never, ever had any use or love for the Deadheads at those shows.  :D

    I'm interested in who is going is take the time to play this. If you do, please like his post.

     

     

    If you have 3 minutes to spare (Rico did)!

     

    Anyway, don't take it from me, take it from Keith...

     I think they are more representatives of a social movement, than a great musical entity. Torch bearers of an egalitarian ethos that holds a strong appeal for some people.

    I know I'm stepping on some toes here, but I'm honestly asking, not just trying to cause trouble. I can’t be the only person that’s tried, multiple times, to get into the Grateful Dead and just can’t. From what I've listened to, they’re just not that great. They come off as a poor man’s Allman Brothers. If there’s something I’m missing, let me know. Their guitar playing is average at best, their singing is atrocious. I consider myself fairly knowledgeable about rock music, especially from that era. I just don’t hear it.

     

    They are basically the original Hoola Bandoola Band...willfully plain, sexless music. 

     

    If you must know, go to 14:04

     

     

     

    Garcia has his own thing, and plays some good stuff, but nothing that warrants hours of sifting through a swimming pool full of noodles, while trying to tune out Weir struggling with "microtonal' vocalizing.

     

    They blow.

  5. Meh, he probably won't even be charged.

    Just to play devil's advocate, what would anyone else here do if you and your friend were shot, and while you survived, your friend didn't, and you knew there were people that still wanted you dead? And you had millions of dollars, and didn't think the police would be any help whatsoever?

    The backup running back and each of two tight ends have a better yards/game than our present RB.  Remember that in receiving in 2019 for RB's he is ranked #44.

     

     

     

    Remember that it was his ***** rookie season?

     

    They were still figuring out what he could do, and working him into the lineup.

     

    (Now I remember, you're the guy that thinks all these guys in the draft will be better than Singletary....)

    Coronavirus: Anti-parasitic drug Ivermectin kills COVID-19 in lab within 48 hours
     

    An anti-parasitic drug available throughout the world has been found to kill COVID-19 in the lab within 48 hours.
     

    A Monash University-led study has shown a single dose of the drug Ivermectin could stop the SARS-CoV-2 virus growing in cell culture.
     

    “We found that even a single dose could essentially remove all viral RNA (effectively removed all genetic material of the virus) by 48 hours and that even at 24 hours there was a really significant reduction in it,” Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute’s Dr Kylie Wagstaff said on Friday.

    While it’s not known how Ivermectin works on the virus, the drug likely stops the virus dampening the host cells’ ability to clear it.

    How come this drug isn't getting more attention? 

     

    I barely see any acknowledgement of it. It's already been tested and approved for years, so there must have been plenty of study of it's side effects and long term effects.

    Before even reading the comments I thought Cuomo was a little off by discounting the 4400 + ventilators and all of the protective gear along with hospitals and a hospital ship that the feds had already given NYS.

     

     

    He's an ass. I expect the worst from all these people.

      India won't be as cheap as China.  China may not be the last stop for the cheap train but has to be darn close to it.  I would guess that Vietnam and Cambodia are the last stop but things need to start coming back to the US and Canada.

     

     

    Yeah, China is cheaper, obviously. But India can be cheap, and not set off a worldwide pandemic, so there's that...

     

     

    I agree that there needs to be lots more production here.
