Long Suffering Fan

This play cost me a Fantasy Football Championship that year. I had a great team (highest scoring that year), but couldn't buy a break in head to head. Had I made the playoffs, I would have won the championship (yes, I checked). I missed the playoffs by one game and I lost a game that I would have won if he had just held onto the ball. I refused to draft him for a few years after that...

A long, long time ago I was interviewing for a co-op engineering job. The school had drilled into our heads that you want to do prep work on the companies before going in. I had squeezed in an interview with a west coast company in between classes so I went in cold. When asked why I wanted to work there, I replied that I have always been interested in jet propulsion. Yeah, JPL might be named Jet Propulsion Laboratory, but what they are about is rockets and space exploration. I never worked there. ? That was a different situation of course. I'm not saying that Epenesa should have known the background on McD. It obviously did not hurt his draft status with us.

And you should get your money back in that case, but that is not why I follow sports. I may follow the millionaires and really appreciate some of them, but I go for the camaraderie, the shared good time, the common bond I have with complete strangers, etc. No one tailgates for the sake of the millionaires. We go because it brings us enjoyment. I do hope you get your money back though. Please don't make it political. This is my first day posting on TBD, but all the years I have read posts I never read it for politics. Why would anyone do that? :-) I know doctors working in hospitals that say that there are really good signs and that we are way better off right now than we feared 2 weeks ago. No one is a moron who says the we don't know for sure where we will be two weeks, much less two months from now. It could take a turn for the better or for the worse. There are positive signs for the better and that is what I am hoping for.

Thank you for your qualitative initial post and Welcome Aboard! Now, for your initial examination, please answer the following questions so that our staff of highly trained professionals may discern competency. 1.) Kemp or Lamonica? Kemp was undeniably good off the bench (weird even saying that), but I think I will go with the mad bomber. 2.) Sestak or B. Smith? Different positions obviously , but Smith. What he did playing in a 3-4 is unbelievable. Not only the sack leader, but really good against the run. We win that Pittsburgh playoff game if we have him. 3.) Saban or Levy? Tough. Saban. Mainly because, despite how good they were, I felt like Levy's teams actually under achieved at times. 4.) Thurman or OJ? Thurman was amazing, a fantastic receiver, he never had a penalty on him, and had otherworldly patience in the hole (he was a better version of Leveon Bell long before people started raving about Bell's patience), but OJ. Anyone who watched him - there was no comparison - moves, speed, and power. 5.) Original colors? Yes, please, yes. 6.) Ralph or the Pegs? I'm thankful for what Ralph did and he was not really as cheap as he was made out to be, but Pegs. 7.) Standing or Charging Buffalo? Standing 8.) Ranch or Bleu Cheese? This can only be a real question outside of WNY, right? Blue Cheese. Of course.

Hi, I read TBD almost every day. Thanks everyone for posting! I really enjoy the extra content this site brings. I'm posting today for the first time only because I would feel guilty if I didn't. There is some good news out there. It just hasn't gotten a lot of traction yet. I know a few people in the medical field. They tell me: - They were going to have to all do shifts in NYC to help out, but all of that has been cancelled. They no longer need the help. - Their hospital, which normally runs at 120% capacity, is currently at 50%. I know that is because elective procedures have been cancelled, but a few weeks ago there was a real fear that that space was needed to handle the influx of covid patients. - This is causing some doctors to be laid off. Think about that. We are in the middle of a health crisis and we are able to lay off some of our health professionals. - Out in Washington State they are dismantling a temporary field hospital they built and returning ventilators back to the supply. - A friend of mine believes she has Coronavirus. When she went in to get tested, they sent her home without a test and told her that, at this point, they would not treat her any different if she tested positive. I know that, at first glance, that sounds like bad news, but it shows that we have seen these improvements while we still don't even have wide spread testing yet. It also means that any fatality percentage numbers we are seeing are skewed when we are not even testing people with symptoms. - Another doctor told me that they believe the mortality rate of this disease will be in the area of 0.3% to 0.5%, which is way lower than we feared. - He pointed me to Iceland and the UAE as examples since they have done so well with testing. Most everyone there with symptoms is being tested. Iceland has tested over 10% of its population. They have 8 deaths and 1711 cases. The UAE has tested 6.5% of their population. They have 25 deaths and 4521 cases. - This likely means that many more in America have already had the disease. All of this is very positive news, so take heart. 2-3 weeks ago, it looked like it could have been MUCH worse than this. We still have a long way to go, but things look much brighter than they did at one point.
