Definitely agreed on John Harbaugh. Harbaugh as HC, Shanahan as OC, McD as DC. Let's go!

Just curious, who was Cowherd's #1? edit: NM, I fast forwarded. Kyle Shanahan. Can't disagree there I guess.

Not only have they thought of it, but already mocked up the logos ?

Stay tuned for this and other classics from "Debating with a 5 year old".

My favorite of his, from The Legend of 1900

He was merely quoting a popular rap song in those tweets!

Redwoods seems like the obvious choice there, no? But then they'd have to move to the other side of the country.

Now this is some high-quality COVID Prolonged Offseason S#it-posting Good stuff

Ironic telling people to think for themselves when you've fallen to the Marketing (read: Propaganda) that re-branded "basic human empathy" as "being woke" so that you can scoff and dismiss it. No one is really talking about the Braves or Chiefs, because those are specific types (like Kings and Warriors). Indians... eh, a little lazy, but not horrible. Redskins though... come on. How are you still defending this? It's like saying a team in California named the "Yellowmen" is actually honoring the Chinese immigrants we enslaved to work on the railroads. We can do better.

You havent seen the classic @Rob's House closer that he uses in every single one of these Washington threads: "My wife is part Native American, and she doesnt care. Therefore no one does."

Well, you definitely didnt look into the details, or even click your own link. That article is about the isolation facilities for people coming back into New Zealand being overwhelmed. Meaning, so many New Zealand citizens are coming back from vacation, they are running out of places to put them in order to maintain the quarantine period. That's it. And it goes on to say this is a worry because "Country records biggest coronavirus case jump in two months after.... (pause for dramatic affect)... four returning travellers diagnosed" FOUR! As in one, two, three, FOUR! FOUR new cases from outsiders and they are thinking about locking down again. The US had 52,609 new cases YESTERDAY. What this should show you is countries that took this seriously from the start, with citizens that acted properly, have been able to get this under control. We arent even CLOSE. (Disclaimer: Now, I'll give you that the population and demographics of NZ are nothing like the US. They are a small island with sparse population. The entire country was already social distanced. But dont try to turn the way they successfully addressed the situation into something political. They followed the scientific recommendations, and the entire populace banded together to follow the rules and get their lives back.)

So 3 months instead of the 2 months I originally said? Ok, if that's what it wouldve taken to get back to normal, we should all still be willing to do it. New Zealand re-opened a couple weeks ago. Below is their chart of new cases through yesterday. Where is the "come back"?

That's a lot of fancy talk, and I'm an idiot, but I believe that says the waivers would be meaningless. Yes? I'm sure the NFL knows that too. To go back to the original article in the first post of the thread, it just says the "NFL is considering". Which means nothing. It means it was brought up once in a brainstorming session and that's as far as it went because the league knows better. Waivers aint gonna happen. Folks need to get on board with doing what it takes to squelch our outbreak. There is no political or legal way around the virus. Only science.

Here's why: Compared to our disaster: And that's with the same increased testing. Forget any of the media nonsense and look at the numbers and trends. Everyone who behaved and sucked it up and followed some EASY rules for a couple months are getting their lives back. Even Italy got their act together. They're playing Rugby in New Zealand, and Baseball in South Korea too. But not us. Because "we need our haircuts" or "muh freedom" or something. We dont deserve to have our Football back.

Worse than Football, where players tackle each other, sweat and bleed all over each other? Nah. Plus, Football requires far more ancillary staff than Basketball with so many coaches and trainers. Most of which are old, or obese, or both. NBA can send the players into their "bubble" and pull off a quick March Madness-type tourney and call that a season. Football, not so much.

Completely different sports with completely different structures. But we'll see.

Its fun to pretend there's going to be a season this year. It keeps me going.

Holy cow. One of the earliest football memories I have was going to that Colts game with my dad. Same thing, we moved around to probably 8 different parts of the stadium just to see the different perspectives. We were on the news that night because we were down in the front row of the end zone for one of the touchdowns and we were easy to spot as we were the only fans in the shot! ? I also remember, on our way into the stadium, Fred Smerlas and Darryl Talley pulled their bikes in front of our car and was giving my dad crap about going to the game saying "You're paying to watch bad football!". And my dad rolling down the window and saying "You guys were 4-12 last year, how much worse can it be? Come on, I got a kid in the car." They moved their bikes.

Case counts DO matter. We dont even know all the issues that can be caused by living through the virus, but we've already seen cases of Viral Menengitis, long term lung issues like fibrosis, and a decrease in lung functioning can lead to issues in other organs like the kidneys, heart, brain, and liver. If "death" is your only measure, then we are doing this wrong. It's never good to contract a virus even if you live through it. With that said, we seem to be the only developed country that still doesnt have a grip on this thing. So many other countries have managed to get their case counts down, even with increased testing. Compare these charts to see how effed we are and why, thanks to folks who refuse to follow some rules, we are now an infected nation whose least worry is whether we have football or not. We dont deserve it. Look at these trends compared to ours... Even ITALY got their act together after being hit so hard. Our disaster:

Had a good run. Still sad to lose one of the all time greats. RIP Comedy Legend

Thought this thread was going to go in a different direction...

Dang, this certainly makes the Pats better than if they had rolled with Stidham, and I think puts them and the Bills just about even on paper. It will be a matter of who ends up 10-6 and who ends up 9-7.

Ha! Well, yes and no. Both Netflix and HBO have come out in the past and said they do not mind account sharing, and have even setup Profile capabilities so different viewers on the same account can keep to themselves. They'd rather have a few people sharing an account and watching on the official app, than have people pirate their shows and not be able to count those views at all. COMET is the best station I've ever found and it was never on cable. Makes switching to the antenna worth it. Great sci-fi and bad B movie content.

All Disney movies (full archive going back to the 50s), all Disney channel programming. It also has the full Star Wars franchise (all movies and shows), the full Marvel franchise (movies and shows), full Pixar franchise, and National Geographic programming. Plus the Hulu subscription which is current movies and programming. Plus ESPN+ which gets you streaming to all the ESPN channels and ESPN+ content (30 for 30 library, live MMA, international sports, and additional NHL games (when there was a season)). And access to ESPN Insider online. For $13/month Then I share logins with my siblings and get HBONowMax and Netflix in return. Add in the HD antenna (and the 40 stations it picks up), and instead of paying $100+ for crappy cable, I'm paying $13/month for more than we can even watch.
