I think the financials matter, adam. But he's good for ~70-75 receptions and ~700-ish yards, which is more production that we've received from the TE position in years. I think that signing him, along with (hopefully) development from Sternberger should solidify the position significantly and allow draft capital to be used elsewhere. -
If the Packers come through the week with Kirksey, Cory Littleton, and Hooper in the fold, they will have made the team much better for the 2nd year in a row.
-
Even a week ago I would have thought this to be virtually impossible, but now I agree that it's a valid possibility that can't be completely dismissed. Though we absolutely will know more in the next couple of weeks.
-
My understanding is that flattens the curve for spreading the virus to everyone, not the high risk people. True. But I think the point is (and the Washington Post article illustrates as well) is that most of us are going to get it at some point, even if we cordon off the vulnerable for a while.

It'll cause mortgage rates to decline eventually, though not as quickly as shorter-term rates.
-
All the simulations I've seen suggest that the 'walled' quarantine (blocking off a group of people or geographic area) as you suggest fail to flatten the curve as well as social distancing does. I'm assuming they're using those simulations to enact what is projected to work best as a result.

My wife's is the same, and she's equally frustrated. I think the Wednesday thing was to give districts and parents a chance to plan, but I think the weekend was largely devoted to sorting this stuff out anyway.

With the CBA approved, all attention likely turns to the start of free agency this week, considering it may be the only sports thing to follow for a while.... The cap and their status may change with the new CBA and updated minimum salaries, but as of now, the Packers have just over $25 million in cap space following the release of Graham and factoring in the ~$7.5 million for their draft pool. I'd think a Bakhtiari extension and a Linsley restructure/extension are very possible in the next few days to free up additional space, and a Lane Taylor release is likely. It looks like Martinez and Bulaga are each expected to get $10+ million per year contracts, so I'd expect both to be gone at this point. The Packers have already been linked to TE Austin Hooper and LB Christian Kerksey, who was released by the Browns for cap purposes.
-
Same. I thought it would be a refreshing change to my work week when we started last Tuesday. That was true for a day or two, but by the end of the week it felt pretty isolating.
-
Yes but at some point the price becomes to high and less and less people buy. Once the stock refills you gradually bring down the price to meet demand. I'm really not sure this is true, as I think there is some crazy, silly desperation out there. For all of the people out there who stupidly think this is no big deal, there seem to be a lot of people that also think this is a 'Walking Dead'-type end of days event for some reason.
-
But people ARE paying crazy prices for stuff. There were bottles of hand sanitizer selling for $80 before Amazon pulled the plug.....
-
Other than the penalty of having the other kids vault ahead of them in instruction. It's not ideal, but the new 'paid time off' bill should help allow more parents to stay home with their kids, I'd think.
-
Yep. If it works, the narrative will be slanted far more towards 'overreation' than 'it worked as we planned!'
-
Such a good point. Quarantine is 14 days, not a year. I hope these people enjoy storing the 700 roles of TP in their garage for the next several months. The TP thing in general is silly too. Do you own a shower and a washcloth? Problem solved, if you run out.
-
Oh don't get me wrong, this point is undoubtedly true as well.
-
“What time does Starbucks open tomorrow? Need my $6 macchiato.” Perhaps in some cases, but in a lot more this serves as a harsh generalization that trivializes the hardships that many families will face in the coming weeks.
-
Rather than continuing the discussion in the 'Random' thread, it's a big enough topic to split out on its own.
-
And the other issues is that when travel is restricted because you're advised not to travel because you're high risk or ordered not to by a governmental travel ban, it seems more than fair to expect that occurance to be covered by insurance.
-
Anyone else looking into travel cancellations and the policies of airlines/hotels? It appears that American is offering vouchers and Hilton is offering full refunds, but Hyatt and other hotel chains aren't offering any relief on non-refundable rates as of yet, unless you were going to Italy or China, etc. Is everyone likely to fall in-line with full refundability within the next few days?
-
Interesting that one of the most visibly flippant NBA players ends up being the 'typhoid Mary' of the league. Criticism of his behavior is ramping up, understandably: "Jazz players are privately saying that Gobert showed a cavalier attitude toward the virus with his teammates in the locker room, touching them and their belongings." https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/28891354/donovan-mitchell-tests-positive-coronavirus

It’s being widely reported that Graham will be released Thursday, which should be no surprise to anyone.
-
Obnoxious singing in a terrible hispanic accent and a pompadour? Seriously, his real name is David Johansen, and it wouldn't surprise me if he did comedy back in that time frame.
-
I think it will be interesting to see what the numbers begin to look like now that expanded testing should more accurately capture the denominator in the mortality rate. I’m also curious to see what access to care in Europe/the US does to those rates vs. the initial cases as well.

That's a bit misleading, Keith. Of the 2015-19 time period you cite, that represents only two seasons where his results weren't injury-affected, as 2015 and 2019 combined represented 70% of those innings, and 75% of the WAR. In those two seasons, he put up ERAs of 3.69 and 3.89, respectively, and WARs of 1.6 and 2.5. The point is, when he's healthy and on the mound, he performs well, and that's less innings than our likely innings-limited guys like Peralta and Burnes would need to pitch. And the beauty of his deal is that if he's the injury-plagued guy of 16-18, the Brewers 60-day DL him for the rest of the season and it's done. The Brewers are clearly hoping for the 170-inning Anderson, but they're out very little if he's the 33 inning guy.
-
Innings need to be pitched regardless, and Anderson put up 2.5 WAR in the 176 of them he pitched last year. Yeah, he has a rough injury history, which is why you like to have many options if that's an issue again. But he has a history of being an above average pitcher when he does take the mound.
