And since King Andy likes to sadistically kick people around, especially Upstate people, you can count on the face covering mandate to continue.
Really? Saving people’s lives is sadistic? Are your poor little freedoms getting trampled by a piece of cloth?-

Right now, Neuroquant technology can help us see atrophied states in comparison. Through Duke and Wake Forest, we’re seeing incredible advancements in early detection of CTE and Alzheimer’s disease Through Neuroquant, but admittedly, it’s still VERY early. There’s so much emphasis on this and for good reason. Great post!
Yes, this is huge. Early detection for both of these diseases will help develop treatments for them, as right now treatments are hard to measure.

This guy named Jay runs it. Or maybe crashes it?

I get what you’re saying, but the irresponsible knuckleheads are few and far between (but, granted, they get all the publicity from the outlets like Barstool Sports).
Rhetorical question; when WILL it be safe to tailgate again? ?
As long as it takes. Safety matters far more than time. -

I've read a study where 94% of COVID19 deaths were due to comorbidity as opposed to sraight up COVID19 deaths.
I would say fans should be able to tailgate, and quite frankly attend games. We work in offices with recycled air, and only wear masks when within 6 ft, tailgating and game attendance is outdoors...
Where's the study? Link?
That is complete bunk. Do you even know what co-morbidity is?
Go to the CDC website. If you look at total excess deaths compared to total expected deaths, you get a significant jump. Over 10%, and some weeks 20%. To break it down, way more people are dying overall in 2020 than would have in a normal year. And this doesn't even count people who don't die but are debilitated from the disease.
https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/excess_deaths.htm
Attending games and tailgating would stupid, and dangerous to people who are at risk because a game or a tailgate could easily increase the spread of the disease. We don't need selfish acts like that. Just because you are healthy doesn't mean you can't pass it on to someone who isn't.

Agreed.
I'd love for these people to meet their great-great grandparents who would smack the mess out of them.
It's not really my thing either but c'mon man. Let the kids have their fun.
Except when their fun can easily KILL someone. Screw that, it's a ridiculous notion. How about teaching the kids to care for their fellow man? Wouldn't that be more productive than letting the selfish idiots "have their fun?"

I think their poor health/genetics killed them ultimately. You can actually help your body resist many diseases by staying fit. I'm no expert on death but I think it is rarely a singular thing that leads to it, there is a domino effect of systems crashing. Acurately reporting the deaths' circumstances is important for future data analysis when faced with the next heath crisis.
Garbage. Covid kills people with preexisting conditions who normally would be able to live for many years with them. I stayed VERY fit. Still got cancer.

lol, yes it was fully a tongue-in-cheek post.
And look, I get that no tailgates isn’t a big deal whatsoever in the grand scheme of things. Neither is not being able to go to games in person. It just sucks because there’s been hundreds of little “not that big of a deal”s piling up over the last six months. Couple that with the government arbitrarily picking winners and losers when it comes to these things and..... yeesh.
And yeah I know, WWII ration lines, first world problems, stop complaining, yadda yadda.
I have no pity for this type of crap. Awww, you need to wear a mask and stay home to save people's lives? Aww, poor little you. Awww, lots of stuff piling up? Stop whining. Try living through this with cancer, getting radiation, having a suppressed immune system, and being petrified everytime you go outside that some maskless selfish moron gets too close and potentially KILLS YOU. Awww. Don't talk to me about hundreds of "no big deal" things.
I'll give you "yeesh." Man up.

I still think it was a mistake because1. He was still productive at the time
2. We wouldn’t have been in “cap hell” had we just waited a few months.
3. Its a coaches job to work with tough athletes, not cast them aside in short order to find easier ones. Marrone hasn’t been able to manage Dareus or 60% of his roster because he sucks.
That doesn’t mean that he should be an all pro. Or even that good. But cutting him that quickly created a large hole, where we had to over pay his replacement, and eat his salary, all while he was still productive at the time.
I would be been fine letting him go the year after. It would have halved his dead cap space.
You aren't considering what a cancer he was on the culture. You can't have a lazy person who was marginally productive compared to talent and salary on the team. It is a poison to the culture of accountability you are trying to build. He's not accountable, couldn't be motivated, and wasn't worth the trouble.

I’ll take those overrated sacks every year lol
I would too, but the point is any player at the NFL level can get to the QB when unblocked. You don't need Jordan to do it.
8 hours ago, LB48 said:On Friday, the Buffalo Bills kept their free agent workout training rolling. According to the NFL’s transaction wire, the Bills worked out four players, all of which were defensive tackles. The most prominent name on the list was Akeem Spence.
A former fourth-round pick of the Bucs in 2013, Spence has also played the Lions, Jaguars, Dolphins and Eagles. In 103 NFL games, the 28-year-old has 10.5 sacks and 19 tackles for loss.
Is all really OK?
They have worked out players at every position last year, too. It's part of being ready for anything.
-
Jordan Phillips was overrated IMHO. He did a good job, but many of his sacks came where he was unblocked. They were inflated. He's an OK run-stopper, but nothing someone else can't do.

Sounds like a leadership problem to me. People getting suspended for stuff and others quitting en masse is usually an indication of an autocratic, draconian leadership methodology. That garbage doesn’t work, especially among gen - exers and millennials. Sounds like the business side of the organization needs a serious revamp, and an analysis done in leadership methods.

He’s a little punk. He’s at the stage of his career where he shouldn’t be a punk, but he still is. Can’t wait for poyer to meet him across the middle.

It varies tremendously. I've known people that had too much and intestines were burned out so they never functioned properly afterwards. I've also known people who experienced zero side effects during or after their treatment. I haven't known many who got through chemo without side effects of some sort, including myself.
It does. I'm getting Proton Beam Therapy in Boston for 4 weeks, 5 days a week. Quite a bit of fatigue and skin irritation are all I'm dealing with.

Eff cancer. Radiation can be tough, trust me.

In other words, you won't answer the question.
Can you point to a post last fall where you said people should be wearing masks during the Flu season and that the NFL stadiums should be shut down because people are dying?
I mean, that's a pretty big thing, right?
You are forgetting a number of facts. One - there is a flu vaccine. Even a semi-effective flu vaccine provides *some* protection to those infected.Two - the flu is less contagious and less fatal. This is a fact. More people have died of Covid in three months than the flu in a year. Three - Covid can overwhelm hospital ICU departments. The flu does not. Three - there are a few treatments for the flu, like Tamiflu. Four - there is a general herd immunity for the flu. Most smart people get a flu shot. That doesn't exist for covid.
The idea of comparing covid to the flu is just false equivalency. It's kind of stupid.
I certainly hope you consider others in difficult situations when you make your decision not to wear a mask, and the impact your selfishness might have on others.

And, yet, still less than 1% of the population has tested postive over the last three months and much, much less than that have died from it and, those that have "died" from Covid-19, quite a majority of those had something going on to begin with.
I appreciate the warning and the cocern (I'm being honest about that) ER stories about Covid really don't scare me. I've been dealing with the public face to face since Covid arrived and nobody was even required to wear masks the first month plus into it.
LikenI said, appreciate it. I'll wear my mask where I am told to to get service or my job, and that is where it ends.
Wearing masks at football games won't go over well at all.
Selfishness and ignorance will get people killed.

Shutting stuff down is a good thing. Selfish people don't wear masks, don't social distance, and behave in ways that could cause the virus to spread. If people weren't so selfish and were reliably careful and responsible, opening up would be a no-brainer. But all it takes is one jerk without a mask or who makes selfish choices and then acts in a way that exposes someone else while they are asymptomatic. Screw you if you do that.
You never know what someone else is dealing with. Cancer, radiation treatment, essential medications that cause your immune system to be compromised. But no, "I wanna go to a football game, so screw everyone else's needs! I wanna go to a bar and have fun because *I'M* the most important person on earth!" Selfish and stupid behavior that could KILL someone like me.
And then there are the fools who deny how nasty this virus is. It spreads virulently, much quicker and worse than a cold or flu. It's bad, folks. Yes, many people do fine with it, but many otherwise healthy people don't. I've seen it. I was in the hospital for essential surgery for two weeks in May. It was bad. Caregivers being quarantined, people they know getting sick, morale low because of furloughed co-workers. All of this could be prevented if people behaved appropriately and avoided crowds, wore masks, and stayed away from people.
Shut it all down, as far as I'm concerned.

I'm actually amazed King wrote *anything* regarding the Buffalo Bills. He has a huge blind spot when it comes to them. Too small-market for the hot-take King. He used to be good, now he's lazy.

Zicam and Cold-Eze type products are mostly functional because of zinc. Stay home everybody. If you think this isn't a big deal, think again. NYC hospitals are starting to be crushed under the load, and we aren't even peaking yet. Stay home.
