How many games had he missed prior to this one due to being positive ? How many vaxxed players in the NFL have tested positive ?

What I get is that the differentiation between vaxxed and unvaxxed players should not exist in the NFL rules.

Maybe he's asking because there are so many different opinions on the vax and he thinks Dr. Fauci is a clown.

No one wants people to get sick but when does it end ? People have gotten bad flus for centuries and we did nothing to protect the immunocompromised or the except offer them the option of getting a flu shot which may or not protect them against every possible flu variant out there. Did you see anyone wearing a mask prior to March 2020 except for those who recently went through chemo ?

When does it end and how many new variants do we need to tip toe around ? How many variants of the flu do we have ?

Maybe the NFL needs to rethink their rules ...

If it was a competitive advantage, Mayfield would have been cleared for last Monday's game.

I'm hoping this is a planned ploy to keep unvaxxed Star healthy until kickoff.

So pause the season - much as I hate the Browns, wasn't really fair what happened and is still happening to them.

Time to cut bait - guaranteed the "personal" is related to not wanting to be exposed to the variant. Trade him post season or just eat the dead cap for next year.

Kemp's career completion % of 46.4 with the Bills was even more surprising.

If Josh continues to run at this pace, he will get hurt and it will be on Beane. Fix the play calling since we can't fix the OL this season.

Yep ... get him some help before he develops Eichelitis and wants out of Buff.

Ain't over by a long shot ... We could sneak by the Bucs, beat Carolina @ home after Indy beats NE the night before. Sets up another showdown in Foxboro on 12.26 for the division lead

I guess you could apply the "raw deal" theory to Zach Wilson, Trevor Lawrence, Trey Lance, Justin Fields ? Play well despite the circumstances and you'll be around while and after the team rebuilds.

Yep, saw it here ... https://heavy.com/sports/2018/04/josh-rosen-family-jewish-mom-dad/

With his bloodlines, I don't feel so bad. Never knew the Wharton School @ UPenn was named after his great-grandfather. Have to wonder how hungry he was coming into the league, knowing he was sitting on a pot of gold.

Thanks - glad you enjoyed the convo.

Many posts ago, I said it was a theory. And I didn't come up with the conspiracy theory ... there are folks who think the McNairs are in on it as retribution for Watson saying he would never play for the Texans again for various reasons. I'm out ...

Read Hapless' post above and then speak to the ~70 other Texans as to who they use.

Not yet - she was evaluating her options at the time of the SI story. Do you think these licensed sport massage therapists just worked on Watson ? What about asking the other team members who they see ?

You don't think the owner could get the names of the massage therapists Watson was seeing or had seen ? True, but the fact she said she would tells me she either wasn't that bothered by his conduct or he tipped really well.

As I said, it's a theory as no one looked at the other side. But carry on if it makes you feel better.

No, I'd rather not - I'll let you use your detective skills to figure it out or maybe not as you seem to have it all figured out. How would you know whether Hardin plans to counter-sue the women ? Because it hasn't happened yet ?

What prompted the women to come forward in the 1st place ? All 19 sought out Buzbee from the yellow pages ? How many of the women had Watson as a repeat customer despite their allegations ? Getting a list of sports massage therapists that worked on Watson ? A few phone calls is all it would take. According to Watson's lawyer, it's a crock. So we'll see ... Even more telling she would book him again if his previous conduct was unacceptable.
