  1. If Rodgers does indeed win, that means the Green Bay Packers had the MVP (or co-MVP in the one year it has happened) in 7 of the past 28 NFL seasons, and in 10 of the 66 seasons the NFL has given the award. I don't know how that compares to other teams, but that looks pretty impressive.
  2. When I saw the guy in the Cousins jersey I thought "wow does that look just like Cousins." And after a few seconds I was like "duh."
  3. CDC updates guidelines, now recommends masks be worn indoors by all in counties with "substantial" or "high" transmission of the virus. Sure hope the CDC COVID Data Tracker website can handle all that traffic as I'm sure everyone will be constantly checking that to see where they fall.
  4. Nothing? Is there anything that drives clicks and views more than controversy? Bingo. His takes are awful, his delivery is awful.....and he makes $12M a year.
  5. This. Adames has said he couldnt see the ball at Tropicana. He also feeds off the energy. Stearns was apparently after him for at least a year. Credit to Stearns for seeing saomething that none of us saw. Stearns found an underpeforming talent who was "surplus" in Tampa and used a strength to acquire him, IN JUNE. In May actually, which is even more impressive.
  6. Currently my Packer and Brewer fandom are relatively equal, but Brewers baseball was my first love, and after loving that team through the 90's and early 2000's, a Brewer World Series would mean so much more. So that Rodgers guy, is he going to opt out by July 2?
  7. This is a month old, and the CDC almost immediately said its own director was taking too big of a leap. https://www.businessinsider.com/cdc-vaccination-comments-director-rochelle-walensky-2021-4
  8. It was less to do with the weather - actually nothing to do with the weather - and more to do with the fact that they looked like Llama/Camels and had fur. Nothing to do with the weather? Yeah, it looked like some sort of Ram (horns) crossed with a Llama with fur (which would also indicate internal heat generation). But it lived in a region far below zero degrees with no sun - thus cold blooded animals would have no source of heat. And when it froze to death, Luke cut him open and steam came out... obviously not cold blooded. [sarcasm]Did you forget 3rd grade too? [/sarcasm] [sarcasm]Sorry, you lost all credibility when you wrote that Luke, not Han, cut open the tauntaun[/sarcasm]
  9. Anyone who has had Will Fuller V on their fantasy team is very familiar with his injury history. He has never played a full season, and if that pattern would have continued after trading for him, a lot of people would have been quite upset that we gave up a 2nd/3rd for a guy who only played a handful of games for us. And frankly even if he would have stayed healthy, I'm not convinced that the value he would have added would have been better than the longer-term value that 2nd/3rd would have delivered.
  10. What I would call you is someone who must be fortunate enough to not have had someone close to you affected by this, because if you had I can't understand how you could be where you are at on this. You made the joke about grandma dying, well my wife's family lost a grandpa this weekend. An otherwise healthy grandpa in his early 60's, who if the bars were not open, would be here today. He was, as OldSchoolSnapper put it, "getting on with life" and he and the family he left behind paid the price. Instead of saying "well the bars are open, why shouldn't there be trick-or-treating?" maybe question whether the bars should be open. And while I'm sure you and others would call me a liberal sap, left-wing nutjob, etc, I think of myself as someone who simply doesn't want to see more people die when they don't have to.
  11. Regarding businesses requiring masks, I am convinced that it isn't about wanting to avoid a confrontation, it is all about not wanting to lose business. Menard's seems to be the only one willing to say "if you won't wear a mask, we're fine with you taking your business elsewhere." Our Copps/Metro Market/Pick N Save always has a manager or assistant manager near the front of the store. It would be very easy for them to refuse the business of someone not wearing a mask, but they don't want that person to take their business to Wal-Mart, because they know Wal-Mart has no problem letting that person shop without one (Wal-Mart usually has 2-3 employees at every entrance who will let someone walk right past without saying a word about no mask).
  12. It's really hard to do, which is why it was so awesome last night when the camera followed Linsley taking his guy 10 yards down field on play where Jones was stuffed for no gain. I'm sure they thought they were following the ball carrier, but my son and I were high-fiving as he plays center now and I played it in high school and it was cool to see them highlight a great block (even though I'm sure it wasn't on purpose).
  13. While I would also prefer aggressiveness over standing there and watching the other team recover the ball, as a TE not only was he a professional pass catcher but he was also a professional blocker, and his job on that play was to block.
  14. I'm just not quite ready to move past the scuffle last night. In that link above summarizing the incident, pause the video where it shows the side view of Braun's bat hitting Molina. That is essentially what the Brewers could see from their dugout. Molina gets a low strike call, Braun takes a nice dig at him (really enjoyed that), and Molina fumes and thinks "I'm going to show him, I'll move up and reach out further to make sure I get the next call too and that will really tick you off." With all that as the backdrop plus all the history between these two teams and Molina in particular, not at all surprising that some things were said from the Brewers dugout. I also love how Shildt was "standing up for our guys" by staring into the Brewers dugout, and admitting later that he was checking on Molina but also came out of his dugout with the thought that something may have been intentional on Braun's part. Nice. So very glad all this happened in a game the Brewers won by 15, which ensured that we got the last laugh. Okay, now I'm ready to move on to today's huge doubleheader.
  15. I applaud the student for doing what was necessary to shine light on this, regardless of the consequences. It is very obvious that the school didn't care, so complaining would have made no difference (the principal said that she should have brought up her concerns with the administration instead, yes I'm sure that would have forced them to take action the same way this backlash has). The only thing that was going to force real change was to do what she did.
