I think many of them do work out in public gyms, but with personal trainers.
The problem is all gyms are closed by order of the governor, at least in my area (California). That sucks, because I need to be working out too.

Albert Greer has also revised his article in SI, with his thoughts about the Bills:
https://www.si.com/nfl/2020/02/05/2019-lessons-learned-mailbag-tom-brady
"From Brad Hesch (@bhesch34): Any initial thoughts about the #Bills draft targets? I keep hearing WR but I think DE is a need.
Brad, I actually things might fall better for the Bills to take a receiver than defensive end in Round 1. Obviously, by the time they’re up at 23, Chase Young will be gone, and I’d guess that LSU’s K’Lavon Chaisson and Iowa’s AJ Epenesa will be too, based on how pass rushers are valued. And that might be a little high to start picking off guys on the next tier, like Penn State’s Yetur Gross-Matos.
Conversely, there figure to be a number of receivers that drop right into that range that’ll be worthy of the pick. Maybe it’s someone like Higgins. Whoever it might be, my guess is you’ll get better value at receiver there than with a pass rusher—with the full acknowledgement that...
(UPDATE: In my fatigued state last night, I answered that question as if it was about the Colts. So I’ll give you guys the previous answer I gave to Brad asking—or not asking—about Indy.)"

Nice find. Thanks! (might want to update the original post to prevent angry responses directed at Breer!)
Thanks, and will do! And he should update his SI column too! ?

He read the question as the Colts who also need WR, DE, and QB. Kind of a stupid mistake to make, but not a huge deal.
Also, his take on Rosen is laughable. These main stream guys still refuse to admit that Rosen's just not good, and has a bad attitude.
Ahhhh...got it! Thanks for the explanation.

I just read this in Breer's just-released SI column:
https://www.si.com/nfl/2020/02/05/2019-lessons-learned-mailbag-tom-brady
"From Brad Hesch (@bhesch34): Any initial thoughts about the #Bills draft targets? I keep hearing WR but I think DE is a need.
Brad, I believe those are the two areas highest on their list, if they don’t take a quarterback high in the draft. And I think it’ll be easier this year to get a good receiver later on than it will be to find a good pass rusher past the first round. So I’m with you in thinking pass rusher could be the way they go.
At 13, will there be a pass rusher worth taking? Iowa’s A.J. Epenesa, if he slips that far, would be, I believe, and LSU’s K’Lavon Chaisson, a former blue-chip recruit who really turned it on as last year wore on, would be an intriguing option with a ton of upside. From there, there’s probably a little bit of a drop-off, which illustrates why taking one in the first round might make some strategic sense."
WTF? Did Breer just say the Bills might draft QB high, and that they draft at 13? Or did I misinterpret this?? He's a major sports columnist, so I doubt he would make a mistake of this magnitude.
------------
EDIT: As @whatdroughtand @Hapless Bills Fan said below, Breer was referring to the Colts. Breer has since apologized in his tweet, which I posted below.

Interesting that you equate back to school with football. I don't, but I never played so that's an angle I never considered.
For purely selfish reasons I'd prefer that baseball and football didn't overlap as much. Football starts too early and baseball runs too late. An October-February football season in conjunction with baseball winding up before October would be ideal for me. Neither will happen, but I'll keep beating that drum anyway.
Good point on baseball and football not conflicting, but then there is the NBA and NHL. I also love cold fall baseball playoffs! They have to be in October.
Also, when I went to school in upstate NY, the first week of the NFL was on Labor Day weekends, and school always started the Wednesday after Labor Day. Having the NFL to watch took away some of the pain of having to go back to school. If high school football were delayed into December, that would also conflict with winter sports.
And another point, if there was too much snow, people would hate tailgating.

Another bonus would be that we wouldn't have to sacrifice beautiful fall days in order to watch games. Every family who doesn't get to go on a drive or go play in the park would approve of this change.
But the most beautiful fall days are in October and even early November.

Start the season a few weeks later and play the Super Bowl the Sunday before Presidents day.
Football is a cold weather sport IMO, so less hot weather games in September and more snow games as an added bonus.
But the teams need the extra weeks to prepare for the draft and free agency. Plus back to school in September means football.

I've been saying this for years. It wasn't bad when the game used to be earlier Sunday, but now with it going so late, having to party on a Sunday night sucks.
The teams have 2 weeks off, losing 1 day is fine for them.
That's good now, but I remember in two of the four Bills Super Bowls, there was only one week between the Conference Championship Game and the SB. In the olden days, they would move it from two weeks to one week if necessary in order to make sure the SB occurred in January. The NFL was against having the season go into February for some reason.

Just skip school, nerd.
That's sort of what my friend said he did in 1983 after Washington beat Miami in the Super Bowl. He said there was no one in school on the parade day that week

When I was in third grade, my bed time was either at 8 or 9 PM.

There is no way to judge his level of impairment. That would be like saying you can't have a beer then drive. Plus, marijuana is legal in many states.

Gotta give credit to the Bills fan for this idea, although I personally believe the SB will draw higher ratings on a Sunday, since too many people go out on Saturday nights.
"The Super Bowl has always taken place on a Sunday, but a New York teen is attempting to change that. Frankie Ruggeri, 16, has tarted a petition on Change.org to get the Super Bowl moved to Saturday going forward."
[...]
""Ruggeri believes that more fans will be able to watch the Super Bowl if it is moved to Saturday. The teen also brings up the point on that petition page that people have to go to work and school on Monday, which means some younger children can't watch the game in its entirety."
[...]
"The petition isn't stopping Ruggeri from staying up to watch the big game. Ruggeri, who is a fan of the Buffalo Bills and Los Angeles Rams, will be watching and rooting for the San Francisco 49ers when they take on the Kansas City Chiefs."

That misses my point. The Bills have been horrible against the lip kisser. What team in the league had a winning record against the Pats* since Brady lucked into a job because of a collapsed lung?
Carolina is 3-2 vs. Brady. Seattle is 2-1. Arizona is 1-1.

but all scoring plays are reviewed are they not? or just those that are close?
This was not a scoring play. The call on the field, after the officials conferred, was no TD. Unless it is called a score on the field, it can't be reviewed.

WR
Pass rusher ( Judon to replace Lorenzo Alexander) LB
More depth at DE - another pass rusher
If they don't roll the dice with Ford - kick him inside, don't re-sign Spain and get a high quality RT in FA
RB - I don't think it needs to be a bruiser. I think Singletary is not a scat back, so I'm good with a quality runner. Doesn't matter what style
More depth at DB
Baltimore is planning to use the franchise tag on Judon if a deal with him can't be reached:

Cheaters 2020 schedule
Home
- Denver Broncos, - Oakland Raiders, - Arizona Cardinals, - San Francisco 49ers, - Baltimore Ravens, - Buffalo Bills, - Miami Dolphins, - New York Jets
Away
- Kansas City Chiefs, - Los Angeles Chargers, - Seattle Seahawks, - Los Angeles Rams, - Houston Texans, - Buffalo Bills, - Miami Dolphins, - New York Jets
The Patriots will be frequenting the West Coast next season. They will travel out to California twice to take on both LA teams, along with the Seahawks in Washington.
They will have some very tough games, playing the 49ers, Ravens, Texans, and the Rams***
Through 15 Weeks of the 2019 regular season (including Saturday's games in Week 16) New England's opponents for the 2020 season have a combined record of 101-84-1, which will likely end up being one of the tougher schedules around the league next year
Thank goodness we don' have to play Baltimore and Houston again.

On his show just now, he really believes Brady is gone and questioned whether they will win the AFCE next year.
Let’s all hope he’s right: I believe he is.
Why did you put three asterisks afters "Pats" in your title?

1 minute ago, Mr. WEO said:Manning had a HOF HC, and had HOF caliber (in or nominees) at WR and RB. He won a single SB in Indy. That combo of talent had 7 one and done playoffs.
This take is a riot.
But Manning did win a SB with Denver, and should have won another in Indy, if they hadn't blown the game to New Orleans.

IF Daboll goes, who do you want to replace him? Keeping in mind we have a young, raw, project at QB...
Greg Roman is known for doing well with mobile QB's.

This NE team was like the DEN Manning team. Won with Def and some smart QB play. NE could actually be better without Brady as weird as it sounds. Andrew Luck back in football for the Pats next year...
Nope. Luck owes three years to Indy still, per his contract. It's either them or no one.
1 hour ago, loyal2dagame said:It wasn't just the Bills. It was the entire NFL under New England's dynasty. The entire league and any non Pats* fan have been waiting. Hopefully the clock has run out on Brady and the Pats. The last 20 years have sucked. I want to see New England have another stretch like they did in the late 80's early 90's where they had 1-3 wins a season.
Brady has more wins against Buffalo, at 32-3, than any other team:

It's two days later, and you still aren't over the loss? Haven't the miscues by Buffalo been discussed in so many other threads?

Boston Globe writer insults Bills. Predicts Fromm will start over Allen.
in The Stadium Wall Archives
Posted · Edited by class_of_2012
Kind of a ridiculous opinion piece by Dan Shaughnessy. I had fun laughing at it. Here are some excerpts:
https://www.bostonglobe.com/2020/04/30/sports/worried-about-patriots-standing-afc-east-dont-be/
"How can Belichick be so Bird-like, cocky and calm, while the Patriot dynasty seems to be crumbling?
I give you three words: Bills, Dolphins, Jets.
Meet the New Tomato Cans. Same as the Old Tomato Cans. The Jets, Dolphins, and Bills are still Moe, Larry, and Curly. They are knuckleheads, porcupines, and lamebrains."
"Have pity on those poor folks in Buffalo, Miami, and East Rutherford, N.J. They are naive, innocent, and foolish. The pathetic Bills Mafia and New York’s Fireman Ed actually think the Patriots are going to fall from their perch atop the AFC East this year."
"The Bills went 10-6 last season and are the flavor of the month now that Brady is gone. Sorry. Not buying. Mistake-prone quarterback Josh Allen is not the answer. Allen is the Joe Kelly of NFL QBs and will lose his job to 167th draft pick Jake Fromm."
"Meanwhile, based on what we saw from his choke job against the Texans in the playoffs in January, it’s safe to say that Bills coach Sean McDermott will dissolve whenever he looks across the field and sees the Hoodie. The Bills over the Patriots? I don’t think so."
