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 EDTIf 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.

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?"

I think this board is pretty cool because it's pretty welcome to outside ideas. Yea, some posters are stuck in molasses but overall people here at least talk. It does lean more conservative, which makes sense because Buffalo does and that's great because it allows more ideas to get out.
...BUT neither side ever gives it up in this political climate of extreme polarization.....it's the old Nixon (yup, HIM) mantra of "always attack..never defend"....is it reasonable depending upon who you support that both candidates are 100% WRONG on EVERY issue?.....partisanship clearly defined......CASE IN POINT: my relatives are avowed, dyed in the wool staunch Dems....EVER considering or actually VOTING for a Republican, ANY Republican is blasphemy and treason.....how can you have constructive dialogue with that mindset?.....any suggestions??..........

Your last paragraph is somewhat correct. A vaccine will be the best way to get herd immunity within a given population. Your other premise, inferring that we should just let the virus spread, is both immoral and not effective. Estimates are that at least 60% of the population would have to get Covid for the herd immunity you suggest. Right now it’s I think about 10% and you have over 200k fatalities. In such a scenario you would have millions die. Do you believe that is acceptable public health care policy, that we should allow millions to die?
Here is what would likely happen if we just let the virus spread. Hospitals would get over run, health care workers would dwindle, public panic would ensue as death rates go way up, people would shut themselves away in their homes, and we would have a true collapse of the economy and social structure.
Viruses don’t hang out and propagate on their own. They require a host and the host’s cells to replicate. Until effective vaccines are available, our best bet is to limit the access of the virus to new hosts, by using mitigating strategies. They aren’t perfect and you are correct that people need to be more cognizant of proper mask usage. But that does not mean they aren’t effective. We know they are.
We all have to pull together
....agree my friend but there will forever be a segment that does not......no masks, no precautions or anything remotely like safe practice protocols.....are they perpetrators and spreaders?....who knows with all of the inaccurate info out there and the entire pandemic being politicized for capital gain......very sad......"pulling together" USED TO HAPPEN....

This has been covered a number of times. This interview was, I believe, early in the pandemic. At that time the recommendation was for the public to not wear masks because they wanted to ensure an adequate supply of masks for health care facilities as they were hit with patients. As the science and study of the virus and it’s mode of transmission became clearer, the usefulness of masks in helping combat spread became clear.
This us how science works and as a scientist for 40 years it really surprises me how many people don’t or won’t understand that process. Take the study you quoted. The main conclusion from the data is that you increase odds of infection in restaurants or bars/coffee shops. Where one removes one’s mask.
...I remember signs in Home Depot saying, "sorry out of stock....masks have been reserved for first responders and health care personnel (paraphrased)"...........hindsight we "got caught" short with a multitude of stock piles not replenished.........then again, this phenomenon is nothing like we've faced since perhaps 1917/1918.....

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.

Before ceding the point, Graham also said that the abhorrent treatment of Brett Kavanaugh changed his mind on the notion of judicial appointments. Nothing happens in a vacuum, each domino that falls potentially impacts another.
Every rational American knows that this plays out exactly the way it played out regardless of which party is in power. The plan to destroy Kavanaugh provides Senator Graham with more than enough ammunition to upgrade his previously stated position.

Arguably our two MVP's on D IMO.
Facing one of the best teams in the NFL.
If Buffalo's O does what it has been doing we're not even discussing this IMO.
Losing the turnover battle kills you...

Gregg Williams: Jets allowing 32 points a game is not all on the defense
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.
