,,,and in other Jets news, Greggie says porous D is not his fault........7 teams still have him on speed dial??.................. Gregg Williams: Jets allowing 32 points a game is not all on the defense Posted by Michael David Smith on October 16, 2020, 2:21 PM EDT The Jets have allowed 161 points through five games this season, the second-most in the NFL. But Jets defensive coordinator says that’s not all his defense’s fault. Asked today about the fact that the Jets are giving up 32.2 points a game this season, Williams acknowledged that statistic does not reflect well on his defense but said it’s not entirely about his defense. “It’s not a very good number and a lot of it’s not all defensively,” Williams said. Asked to clarify what he meant by that, Williams declined. “You’d have to figure it out,” Williams said. It sure sounds like Williams was deflecting some blame toward the Jets’ offense and special teams, and he wouldn’t be wrong: Bad play by the other units has given the Jets’ opponents good field position. But the Jets’ defense has been bad, too. With a team as bad as the Jets, there’s plenty of blame to go around. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2020/10/16/gregg-williams-jets-allowing-32-points-a-game-is-not-all-on-the-defense/#comments

Chiefs will pay Le’Veon Bell $690,000 in salary, up to $1 million in incentives Posted by Michael David Smith on October 17, 2020, 5:38 AM EDT If a team had traded for running back Le'Veon Bell, it would have had to pay him $6 million in salary for the rest of this season. After the Jets cut Bell, the Chiefs signed him for a lot less than that. Bell will make $690,000 in salary for the remaining 12 weeks of this season, and can earn up to $1 million in playing time and playoff incentives, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. The Jets are still on the hook for the remaining $6 million in salary Bell is owed because that money was guaranteed on the contract he signed with the Jets last year. That Bell ended up taking so much less than he was owed by the Jets shows that he just can’t command that kind of money anymore, and the Jets’ attempt to trade him wasn’t going to work. Bell was once a first-team All-Pro running back, but he didn’t play at all in 2018 and hasn’t played well in 2019 or 2020. Now Bell will get an opportunity to show he still has something left in the remainder of this season with the Chiefs, and then he’ll hit free agency in 2021 — when he won’t get anything close to the money the Jets paid him. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2020/10/17/chiefs-will-pay-leveon-bell-690000-in-salary-up-to-1-million-in-incentives/#comments

...anybody here ever been polled?...been a registered voter for 49 years and never a call.......they must know me...........

Dead man receives absentee ballot Created: October 16, 2020 07:39 PM ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WHEC) — A man who died 10 years ago is still listed as an active voter in Monroe County- and received an absentee ballot from the Board of Elections. "My feeling was how could this happen," says Karen Noll. "How could this happen actually, an absentee ballot for somebody that's been dead for 10 years?" That ballot had arrived at Karen and Jim Noll's home this past week. It was addressed to Karen's father Donald J. Gunther. Gunther had run Gunther's Food market on Saint Paul Boulevard before moving to Florida 25 years ago before dying in 2010. And yet, there was a ballot. "It really is concerning to see for someone who has been dead for 10 years and never lived here," says Jim Noll. "How did this ballot turn up?" https://www.whec.com/rochester-new-york-news/dead-man-receives-absentee-ballot/5897573/?cat=565

Pfizer may apply for emergency use of COVID-19 vaccine by late November Application with FDA would come if trial data, due this month, is positive The Wall Street Journal-Oct 16 2020 Pfizer Inc. said it could be ready to apply for emergency-use authorization of its COVID-19 vaccine by late November, assuming it receives positive efficacy and safety data from late-stage human trials, the first time it or any other leading Western vaccine developer provided such a specific timeline. The drug giant, which is developing its vaccine candidate with German partner BioNTech SE, said it continues to expect to have data on the vaccine's effectiveness -- whether it protects at least a majority of vaccinated people from the disease -- later this month. It then expects to have data on the drug's safety by the third week of November. https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/pfizer-emergency-use-covid-19-vaccine-late-november
