Doc Brown

I see help wanted signs all over the place. That's exactly what will happen. If you don't want to get fined get the vaccine. If you don't want to get the vaccine you have to abide by last year's rules. Life is full of making decisions about whether the risk is worth the reward. These two coaches determined the risk (getting vaccinated for whatever reason) wasn't worth the reward (staying employed).

His body. His choice.

Oh good. I was wondering what OJ thought.

No. That poll showed 25% identify as Republican, 30% as Democrat, and the rest as Independents. You cited which way the voters "leaned." As far as vaccination rates go here's an end of June poll I posted in another thread showing as the % of Republicans (and other groups) getting at least one shot of the vaccination.

Because of polls like these. Rates of Opposition Have Ticked Down Among Black and Hispanic Adults, Remained Unchanged Among Republicans: Since Morning Consult began tracking in mid-March, the share of adults who say they do not plan on getting vaccinated has dropped by 2 percentage points (21 percent to 19 percent). Across major demographic groups, the largest downward shifts in vaccine opposition can be seen among Black Americans (27 percent to 23 percent) and Hispanic Americans (23 percent to 17 percent). Among Republicans, the largest major source of vaccine opposition, 28 percent do not plan on getting vaccinated, unchanged since tracking began. View more. Republican women are a major source of vaccine skepticism: 45 percent of GOP women do not plan to get vaccinated or are uncertain – 15 points higher than all adults, 10 points higher than GOP men and 30 points higher than Democratic women.

I can't tell if you're being serious or not. Regardless, it's not ideal to have players on the same team argue about vaccines on a social media platform when we were told this would be handled in house. I'm not going to just brush aside the negative impact this could have on our team going into the season. Especially if we're talking forfeits then it's absolutely fair game for McBeane to cut marginal players that aren't vaccinated. Same goes for making a tough decision for a guy on a mission at slot WR if it comes to that.

He can play X, Z, and the slot. With Sanders the Bills can rotate their WR's more and he can replace any of them if injured (or Covid positive ). Beasley has perfected the slot position the same way that Welker did. Finding soft spots in the zone by adjusting his routes. The Bills are better with Beasley on the team. Let's hope they "hug it out" (metaphorically) as I'm not sure what the Covid protocols are) when they get to training camp.

So much for my Cleveland Redskins prediction.

I agree with most of this although I do think there's a slight mental decline. Not enough to envoke the 25th or anything like that. I'd also add the caveat that I don't know what goes on behind the scenes. There's a reason the "will you shut up man?" quote stuck in that first debate. Trump with the constant interruptions of this guy we knew had a stutter made Biden look like a sympathetic figure. That debate strategy Trump used with Jeb, Rubio, Cruz, Hillary, etc. on the debate stage worked for him it made this opponents seem weak. They were all younger than him and nobody questioned their mental acuity. It backfired with Biden because we already knew he had a stuttering problem and he was never a great speaker or debater even in his younger days. We've all seen relatives age to the point where they'll lose their train of thought easily, large crowds will overwhelm them, and their eccentricities (suck the blood) will exasperate. You talk to them one on one though and they seem more in line with their old selves. My guess is that's where the 78 year old Biden is at this point. I don't think he'll run for reelection at 81 years old but I wouldn't put money on it.

Still debatable until I see a body. Why is his middle name spelled wrong on his tombstone?

At least Brady kept his mouth shut despite the horrible drafting by the Pats, played out his contract, and then mutually agreed to split ways to avoid an ugly breakup. Edit: NM......Forget him too.

Yeah.... but did you know that Gabe Davis is generally a good guy?

Your last name isn't Williams by any chance?

The only flaw in that logic is the way our offense is built. I don't expect our offense to get stuck between the 40's a lot where we're trying to pin them within the 10 yard line. Fourth and five from the opponents 41 we should be going for it most of the time. I'd rather have a kicker if we go three and out at our 25 can boom the ball to flip the field as much as possible. Haack is just average in leg strength.

Of course they play the Patriots week 2.

I think Matt Barkley has a burner account on here.

Not sure but lock downs and mask mandates at this point should be out of the question given the effectiveness of these vaccines.

No he wouldn’t because they know he’d split the vote handing it to the Democrat. If a vaccinated person somehow catches it they can absolutely pass it to an unvaccinated person. It would likely be an unvaccinated person.

It’s less than 10% assuming you took the mRNA vaccine. Desantis held a press conference yesterday saying 95% of Floridians who tested positive for COVID were unvaccinated. As far as Trump supporters go, he is the most popular Republican among Republicans since Reagan so there should be outreach to Republicans based on all available polling. The same goes for poor communities consisting mostly of minorities.

You don't. It would help for herd immunity but it's your choice. Because Republicans are the group least likely to get the vaccine. Yeah. If you're vaccinated though the likelihood of a vaccinated person passing it on to you is reduced by over 90% if you got the mRNA vaccine.

They're technically not mandating it and the players had the option to opt after the revised protocols were issued for this season.

It will always be around but you can't deny the mRNA vaccines effectiveness along with its ability to save lives right now. Almost 9k deaths that could've been prevented in Texas. You'd pry see similar numbers in every US state. Also, the mRNA vaccines are pretty damn resilient to all the variants so far including delta. The US developed the best vaccines on the planet at an incredibly fast pace. It's frustrating to me that people keep looking for flaws in the vaccines as an excuse for not getting vaccinated instead of taking advantage of a medical miracle (imo) so we can get back to living our lives. The government shouldn't mandate it. However, these mRNA vaccines are going to be FDA approved soon. When that happens I see no reason businesses can't mandate it for their employees or colleges mandate it for admission.

Dr. Kevorkian. Maybe stop feeding the troll.

I don’t know jive.

Props to DeSantis here. If he won the GOP nomination I'd consider voting for him.
