    It was a decision by The Boss Man end of May/early June with many football players weighing in on the protests/Brees comments

     

    It may or may not persist

     

     

     

    Kill it at your earliest opportunity. Tell the boss man we are here only to argue about Josh Allen. ;)

    In normal times.  Covid has directly impacted the NFL though so it's nearly impossible to separate the two.


    I hear you there - this year I can’t even buy toilet paper without a political argument breaking out. Politics everywhere.

    This board has a long history.  A lot of the members know each other from tailgates.  

     

    With the influx of trolls, i'm under the impression that some of the posters aren't even bills fans!  That's right, i'm talking about you @Chef Jim

    As with all things in the Trump era, dialogue is much more contentious.  It all just gets tiresome.

     

    Lao Yang looking off camera exasperatedly with caption saying it's all so tiresome

    How much is that $30K boat worth, though, after being underwater for a couple weeks? Maybe $10-15K after spending hours of labor to repair. 

     

    Also, if someone else's boat sinks, it doesn't automatically become the property of whoever raises it. There would have to be a barter to begin with to exchange the title. 

     

    Probably in it's perm resting place.  Final Destination 2020.

  5. This place has been a decent source of Covaids information during the pandemic.  I've been following that thread for a while now.  The rest of PPP is a mess.  I don't get the this tribe vs. that tribe stuff.

     

    I'd be fine if it all shutdown and went away.  Surprised the owner of the site keeps this around.

    What is the intended use of bike paths?  Just to throw some money away?

    Bike paths are great when you have a 2” wide tire.
     

    Your attitude is why I don’t ride as much.  You’ll clip me with your mirror and leave me dead in a ditch, all the while claiming your innocence because you were entitled to the entire lane of highway.  
     

    Do you get this mad at tractors?  Backhoes?  Amish?

    Why do you think they spend millions of dollars on those things and name them "bike paths"?

     

    The type of path that best fits in the spandex mafia seems to be socio.

     

    You've never been on a road bike, have you?

    The medical examiner ruled his death a homicide and says Prude died from complications of asphyxia due to physical restraint, excited delirium and PCP.

     

     

    I believe an OR qualifier should have been used.  But I guess, as we all know, PCP never kills alone.

     

    And by the way, WTF is excited delirium - like reefer madness?  Like a rollercoaster ride?

    Closest we got was McCain choosing Lieberman but he impulsively selected Palin (and her high point was that first amazing press conference...off a cliff after that).
     

    Probably wouldn’t have won anyways but the Palin choice killed his chances with thoughtful moderates and independents. 

     

    That would have been interesting (McCain/Lieberman).  Palin was a car crash that he should have seen coming.

    But again, I would say the opposite - I don’t think it was inevitable. I think they became too lax. They let their guard down too much. Too many people went back to their normal lives and disregarded social distancing and masks. 

     

    I know for a lot of people they are sick of being a caged pet, kind of like those lizards in a fish tank with a heat lamp.  Maybe some people like that life, but it looks like the French decided it was time to rip the band-aid off and move on?

  11. I used to enjoy riding a road bike.  Country roads, never hog a lane, stop at stop signs, etc.  Road bikes don't work on a bike path.  Tires are too small and bike paths are typically too rough and lots of loose gravel to crash on.  Plus a road bike can do 18-20 mph, a lot of times that is too fast for a bike path.  PLUS, I don't even wear the spandex stuff - I should get bonus points for that.

     

    But after reading this, it makes me rethink what you guys are plotting when you drive past me.

    Deaths and everything else continue to go lower.  Except cases even though it did drop nicely today.  Hope that continues.   I’m still confused by the JH model of expected deaths.  They clearly don’t buy into the T cell + Covid herd-like immunity and believe in the older theory that it re emerges seasonally like the flu.   I’m highly skeptical of that previous theory based on a number of factors.

     

    in any case, another good reporting day.

     

    Being involved in some Engineering models in the past, I honestly think they do not have a model input or "handle" for the innate T-cell / herd immunity.  I really think it'll be tough to get to the low end of the IHME numbers.  But I am just a guy on the internet.

    Remember the no punt game, this is the no punt season!

    I like this, but did we change out McDermott with a non-conservative coach when I wasn't looking?  Is Sean coming down with Riverboat Ron Syndrome?

    Vedvik could have done both. Badly, but he could have done them..

    YEah after the season open last year, no thanks.

    I got a cryptic naughty message from the moderators for talking COVID on the main football board. So sensitive.

     

    Trying to be right by posting here. But really... page 1171 is the best we got?

     

    Here it is. UCLA, Stanford study finds for average 50-64 year old, chances of dying from COVID-19 are 1 in 19.1M

     

    And I was spanked for panning masks on the sideline.

     

    Same happened to me, there is a narrative that she needs to maintain. Although I do think the masks are good insurance for the football staff.
