Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I'm not sure why you quoted me lol. Unless got posts mixed up? anyway, yeah I agree
Grabbed the wrong post- sorry. I saw yours and then meant to grab someone else's post. Yeah I agree with you obviously.

Abdul Raouf was a big deal in the 90's when he did it but the king of the NBA was Jordan and the powers that be then decided to make a rule that the players agreed to that all players must stand for the anthem.

I'm not sure we are on same page here....First off, Rivers is not a back up nor ever will be, also retired. Second, we been down that road with Fitz. I only suggesting as of now that, imo at least, Mitch gives you the best chance to win enough games til the Starting QB returns. If team has strong surrounding cast then it helps the chances more.
Mitch had a good season and others I think were average. But the Bears team didn't have the best surrounding players with Mitch either. Most were about average.
The surrounding cast is huge for Mitch. People seem to think he had good players around him in Chicago and we saw what they do against our back ups. Mitch was their best offensive player the past 3 years and got them into the playoffs twice. Give the guy his due he is better than Tyrod by a shade.

I think you may be basing your analysis on older data not including the delta variant data. The most recent data I've seen indicates that infection and hospitalization rates are rising in the 18-39 year old age group, the vast majority being unvaccinated.
I hope I'm wrong about my prediction, I really do. And the data on the delta variant suggest mortality rates are not rising to the same extent as infection rates. But I think Dawkins this year and Sweeney last year were both very fortunate. Looking at McKenzie's tweet yesterday makes me thing players are refusing to take this virus seriously. It may take a fatality of a player to wake some guys up.
I know you are not able to understand math but I assure you I am applying the numbers properly even I regards to the Delta variant. The idea that fully healthy 25 year olds are dying a lot is simply not true, the younger people being hit are with only a few exceptions have at least one comorbidity and generally multiple. There are a lot of people with these issues but I doubt any are playing in the NFL.

I understand the science, and the science is not in quotes. The fact that you put science in quotes shows your ignorance. The data on the delta variant shows that younger people are more prone to getting infected, possibly due to the fact that so many older folk were smart enough to get vaccinated. Will the larger, fatter, D and O linemen be more at risk? Yeah probably. But I didn't say that it would be a WR that dies. I said I predict that an NFL player dies.
Read what is written.
The math says it is unlikely that an NFL player dies. People in good shape without preexisting conditions are in the literal 1 in 100000 chance of dying, if they get Covid. We have less than 2000 players so even if it very single player got Covid the chances of dying from it are remote. Your prediction is based on hysterics not science, which is why it was in quotes.

I know your only goal is to bash Trump but maybe try being accurate and a lot less racist. Or is there another reason you think all the Latino people of south America are a joke?

Failure to follow protocols is going to increase the potential for spread of Covid in the locker room. Beasley refuses not only to get vaccinated, but apparently also refuses to wear a mask and refuses to understand the significance of such. His strident views are unfortunately affecting the opinions of other players such as McKenzie and Davis. You see what's happening this week with now 3 WRs not available for practice, along with 2 LB and 2 D linemen.
It is easy to see what will happen from here. This same kind of outbreak will occur during the season and cost us games because key players will not be on the field. And I would also predict that some of these players will be lost for multiple weeks because they will get really sick, like Dawkins did. No NFL team can withstand losing key players, but that's what's going to happen. It has this week, and unless behaviors change it will happen during the season.
Now, I know what you'll ask. If vaccinated people can spread, then why is Beasley wrong? He's wrong because of the nature of the virus and the delta variant. The delta variant is much more infectious, but the data still indicate vaccinated folks are less likely to get infected. The delta variant builds up in high numbers in the upper respiratory region, and that's why even vaccinated folks can pass it for a couple days. But that ability in vaccinated people wanes much more quickly than unvaccinated, and vaccinated folks will be able to return to duty much quicker than unvaccinated. And of course vaccinated people are at much, much, much less risk of significant illness.
I understand McD's frustration. The team I am sure has had experts talk to the players, and they still refuse to get vaccinated, a vaccine where the benefits are huge and the risks are extraordinarily small. But you have players h who other wise trust the medical staff refuse to listen about Covid because the politicians and Internet nut cases have turned a health problem into a stupid political cause. And that is killing people.
I could be wrong, hope I am, but I predict an NFL players dies this season from Covid.
You predict young men who are in physically superior shape will die from Covid? I truly hope all the Dlinemen get the vaccine because they are overweight but for the rest of them the chance of dying is about the same as dying from the flu. People that are of high risk (obese, lung issues, heart issues) are at real risk and should be protected, otherwise you don't understand the "science"

Honest to God, people refuse to understand the word mitigation. Cloth masks (again depending on the mask) help prevent spread, they do not completely block it, but they help. The data is irrefutable. Wearing masks is not evil.
Wearing masks is not evil, telling a child that you can't see your friend unless you wear a mask is evil. Especially telling children that not wearing a mask will kill people. And as I said the cloth masks do little and there are a lot of better ways to mitigate the threat in schools.

Anecdotally, I have seen kids interviewed, and I have talked to kids, and what they say is they have no problem wearing masks if it gets them back in school with their friends.
If you give kids the choice "masks or friends" of course they will do what is needed for friends, what an evil way to put it. Cloth masks are not very effective, here in Orange County parents could have opted kids out of masks and the two schools with the most opts outs are amongst the lowest rates. If you want effective masks you need the N95 masks or something more but the cloth masks are political theatre in schools.

Good for him. I swore he was from Texas though. Best move Jerry Jones ever made was trading him for assets that eventually took us down in two Superbowls.
He has lived primarily in Texas for quite a while, but has always maintained a home in GA. He will have to do as Hillary did in 2000 but he will be going home.

I was just coming here to post this.
Glad to see we have new blood in office. Perhaps female perspective will help her out state leadership back on track.
That said….we’re to believe the Lt Governor had zero knowledge of her boss sexually harassing employees, and was totally, completely in the dark on the COVID death count? No one warned her, no one raised red flags, she wasn’t interested in looking into the numbers occurring on her watch?
Sure.
Meet the new boss, likely same as the old boss.
Just playing devil's advocate- maybe she assisted in getting him ousted because of his actions. I have no inside information but I want to give her a fair shot

This kind of stuff is bordering on evil. The Union has no clue if she got the virus from her classroom. Secondly there are still openings at Florida Virtual School for those who don't want to do face to face. Lastly their are ways to keep distanced from students even when in your classroom. This women dying is awful but the implication that she was sent to death because children don't wear masks is wrong.

Does the upper sideline feel really far away Riot have you sat up there?
I have sat in the upper deck first few rows many times in different stadiums and they are my preferred seats for watching football. Biggest issue there can be the sun beating on you. Definitely upper deck sideline is better than any endzone if you want to really watch game.

I feel very bad for Etienne, even if I thought he was overdrafted, and it sucks to have his career start this way. I don't feel bad for Urban because he is such a tool.

You'd think so. But I still have faith the Republicans will manage to screw it up anyway. Even if the worst possible scenario plays out in the next couple week. Other than becoming fiscally responsible when they lose the majority and opposing lots of social issues pushed by the left what is their platform? What vision are they going to lay out? I've heard rumblings about running on the "law and order issue" and now using this Afghanistan disaster but then what?
Why does it seem that both parties biggest selling point is " we might be horrible and incompetent but they are even worse".

Voter’s don’t like when you attack the public school system and teachers.
Just ask Chris Christie.
He is attacking school board members and increasing pay for teachers. You seem to think school board members are as important as the teachers.

Florida public schools passed NY public schools on about the year 1998 and now is one of the best. The amount of people who believe it is still 1985 is astounding.

DeSantis looking terrible in polling:
http://thelistenergroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Rubio-Winning-DeSantis-is-Losing.pdf
If you simply pick your survey people well enough you can get any response you like. From the same survey:
Just over half of independents give DeSantis a favorable rating, and a majority of no-party voters favor him over Crist and Fried.
If you think he is down 10% but independents favor him you will believe anything.

The Bears punter is another big legged guy who has occasionally in his career had issues generating hang time - a bit Bojo like. I remember I wanted to spend a 7th round pick on him the year he came out but the Bears snagged him in the 6th I think.
I can see the draw but the two big returns were allowed mostly because he sent the ball long but not high. Stevenson had an absurd amount of room.

You could tell Bass was practicing directional kicks, so Haack was probably practicing something specific. If I recall, Haack isn't a boomer like Bojo, but he’s more known for good accuracy on his kicks.
Part of watching bears kicker I truly saw the definition of outkicking your coverage. We had two returns of punts that would have been nothing if the punt was simply 5 yards shorter. If Haack can place punts I will be happy vs just booming it like Bojo

I'll add this here as well. Put it in the Rousseau thread too.
I was very impressed with Groot just watching casually but this video makes me see Basham is further ahead then I realized. I had no idea they doubled Basham and still could not move him out of position.

This makes me happy that so many people aren't least doing the first step to vote. It also proves that Biden is lying about Jim Crow.

Cole Beasley
in Politics, Polls, and Pundits

You predicted that a player would DIE this year- not get sick. If you want to walk back your prediction as hyperbole that is one thing but don't pretend I was not responding to what you said. It is a remote chance any NFL player dies this year.
