Why arent they just practicing and not interacting with people actually at risk?
Don't come in contact with the coaches, maybe? Not sure they even care. The players aren't even going to end up any more sick then if they had a flu (if AT ALL) let alone hospitalized and no one is dying. NO ONE.
Does anyone realize how asinine this all is yet?
Completely asinine.
Again, I don't think it is. The NFL is protecting a product, and for this season, that product is a TV show that plays every Sunday, Monday, and Thursday night and all day on Sunday afternoon.
They realize (like MLB) that if this spreads beyond the Titans they're gonna shut down or be shut down. It is a business decision.

No kidding. Too bad the Democrats cratered Tulsi. At least she's got some stones.
She's a little cuckoo, but there's at least a dozen qualified persons who've had presidential ambitions that would be perfectly agreeable to me. On the R side:
Romney (I voted for him; officially by my rule too old now, but just barely on the wrong side of 70)
Nikki Haley (kind of muddied herself with Trump suck-upness, but still, you gotta do what you gotta do)
Ben Sasse
Tom Cotton (see the Nikki Rule ... I think he crossed the line)
Bobby Jindal
Marco Rubio
And that's just off the top of my head

I have to be honest, the Titans news scares me too.... not to do with the virus, but cause I don’t want the season cancelled and I know the fear mongers would love to see that happen (maybe right before the election: “Trump’s response is so bad football is canceled!”)
Full Nazi lockdown on all covid stuff on the main board. I actually don’t mind. It’s better than the selective editing removing any opinions, sources, and facts differing from the main steam that we’ve had till now.
The NFL has the experience of MLB to go on.
There were a couple notable outbreaks: the Marlins first, the Cardinals worst.
MLB responded aggressively by postponing games.
It worked. They got their 2-month season in, they'll get their (diminished) playoff ratings in an (expanded) post-season and World Series.
The league is not overreacting; they're protecting the viability of their product in this 2020 season.
If you're a Titans fan it kinda sucks. It did for the Marlins and Cards too, but interestingly, despite the severe disruptions, both are in the playoffs.

Sullivan: Asking if Sidney Powell ever spoke to Trump.
Powell: She said to update on the case (Jenna Ellis) and to ask the president NOT to grant a pardon.
Sullivan is showing his hand here asking her about the President.As well he should.
Barr has been the most vocal proponent of the "unitary executive" theory since Ed Meese. In fact, he's gone well beyond Ed Meese.
The honest answer is that one: under the constitution, all of the executive power is vested in the President. Barr is duly appointed as Attorney General, delegated that executive power as it relates to prosecution of federal crimes. The new President, acting through Barr, has decided to dismiss this case in the exercise of that power. If the Dist Ct judge doesn't agree, Flynn may appeal his order.
For some reason they shrink from stating that out loud. Presumably they understand that whether or not that is the correct understanding of Article II, the American public doesn't like it. That's why we're in this strange place.
EDIT: and if Sullivan disagrees -- says the plea was accepted, the die is cast -- the constitution allows the new President a remedy: a full and complete pardon.

I suspect he is one of those people who thinks that despite a lost draft pick, a million-dollar fine and a four-game Brady* suspension for deflating footballs, the Patriots* didn't really cheat. Everyone else was just jealous.
They cheated.
They were better than us anyway.
Get over it and prove that we're better now.

Just like the bad old days of Bills-Pats. "They must be cheating" is so much easier to stomach than "We suck."

CDC is a Private Organization - Not Government ...
Some people have questioned my concern over both the CDC and John Hopkins University is a PRIVATE organization where the CDC accepts private funding - NOT ONLY GOVERNMENT! The CDC is quasi-government under the Department of Health and Human Services which strangely has sources of funding that are predicated on the fact that it also has a private 501(c)(3) public charity, like the Clinton ...

The CDC Foundation helps the CDC save and improve lives by unleashing the power of collaboration between CDC, philanthropies, corporations, organizations and individuals to protect the health, safety and security of America and the world. Since 1995, the CDC Foundation has launched approximately 1,000 programs and raised over $740 million.

CDC works with the private sector because public-private partnerships advance CDC's mission of protecting Americans. Americans--and CDC-can accomplish more working together than separately. Learn how to connect with CDC and access resources available to private sector organizations.
CDC exposed as private corporation colluding with Big Pharma
https://www.intellihub.com/cdc-exposed-as-private-corporation/
The CDC, by definition, is a private corporation working on behalf of its stakeholders, which include key players in the pharmaceutical and vaccine industries that profit from the spread of disease, not from real prevention and cures.
Robert Kennedy Jr: CDC is a privately owned vaccine company
https://eraoflight.com/2018/12/08/robert-kennedy-jr-cdc-is-a-privately-owned-vaccine-company/
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. claims the CDC owns patents on at least 57 different vaccines, and profits $4.1 billion per year in vaccination sales. According to RFK Jr., the CDC is not an independent government agency but is actually a subsidiary of Big Pharma.. Greenmedinfo.com reports: Mr. Kennedy told EcoWatch, "The CDC is a subsidiary of the pharmaceutical industry.
Well, let's set aside for the moment those, umm, unorthodox cites and start with a simple correction:
Dr. Fauci is not a CDC employee! He is the Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, which is a component of the National Institutes of Health.

of course, this is in addition to his patents on the virus itself

Official campaign talking points:
All Summer Long: Biden is deep into dementia. It is so sad that they are doing this to him, propping him up to be destroyed by the Master of Debate.
Two Weeks Ago: Sure, he's seems o.k., but that's because he's on drugs (and using a teleprompter). Drug test him now! Without those drugs he'd look like a senile wreck.
The Last Week: Biden is a formidable opponent. He debated 11 times against his primary opponents and came away the victor.
Tonight: the sound of desperation setting in. So Biden's kind of o.k., but his son's a crook!

Joe Biden has expanded his lead over President Trump to 12 points in the latest Fox News poll, and Trump is fuming at what's normally his favorite network.
The survey found ex-Vice President Biden at 50%, with Trump well back at 38%.
Fake DR sez:
Polls are fake (again). They are telling us what they want us to believe. Polls were garbage in June; Harvard's one yesterday (per the Pres: "hey, that's a better school than I got into even with that kid taking the SAT for me!") is reliable and worth quoting; they are garbage again today.

In one post you admit you know dick about this case and should read more — now you say as a fact that Flynn was “pretty reckless with the things he did”.
So, tell us, what reckless things did General Flynn do? This will be great... 🍿
What a choad.
You, who know all, having applied your decoding stone to the Q poop, should be very familiar with this reckless behavior: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/09/us/politics/michael-flynn.html
[I can't wait for the cackle in response - hah! NY Times!!!! Not as reliable as some anonymous creep in the Philippines!!!!]
But as a civilian, he founded a consulting firm, Flynn Intel Group, that attracted high-paying clients. In a decision that appalled some friends, he agreed to give a speech in 2015 to RT, Russia’s state-controlled television network, for about $45,000. He was seated at the head table next to President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia.
The next year, he pulled in at least $1.8 million from private intelligence and security services, consulting and speeches. About $530,000 came for work to discredit an enemy of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey. Mr. Flynn did not register with the Justice Department as a foreign agent, as required under lobbying disclosure laws, until the following spring when he was under federal scrutiny.

Maybe a social worker with the police might help . When the caller mentioned a firearm they might be less patient with a possible suicide call. Suicide by cop is also possible for someone in that frame of mind. I do hope he recovers.

Jackson is not a "running QB". He has 46 TD passes to only 9 career interceptions. He is a great QB.
Well, true in one sense. But in another sense his success is as dependent on his scary good running ability as any NFL QB I've seen since Mike Vick.

Just feels to me like 2019 was Peak Ravens. The league catches up with these (Roman) things, and as a general rule running QBs peak early.

The DOJ is the DOJ, no? Justice is blind, no political bias, just a well researched case brought against an American with a distinguished record of service. Seems the review revealed something different, and the DOJ moved to dismiss. Seems straight forward.

Testing the ability to hold two somewhat conflicting thoughts in our Bills heads at the same time:
- Josh Allen looks like he's gonna be really good
- In hindsight, we should have drafted Mahomes.

The DOJ, upon reviewing all the details available on the case they brought, concluded that the matter should never have commenced. Individuals certainly can be reckless, but when the full weight and power of the US government has decided to crush you, you’re likely to be crushed.
Imo it’s basically like an ordinary citizen standing up to the Mob in the 1960s. It has to feel a lot like this guy dancing on your skull.
The new DOJ, under William Barr, decided that.
We will learn more as the District Court case proceeds.

I guess you are indemnifying the NFL if the Steelers travel to TN and a member of their traveling party (needn't be a player or coach) gets sick. Awfully nice of you.
Besides: if the game is postponed for a bit (not for too long ... let's say just until Tuesday) the Titans get a short week to prepare for the Bills on 10/11. So I'm all for it.
