  1. I'm barely stopping short of saying that people who still choose to travel to known hazardous areas despite the situation and end up causing community spread in their county should be criminally charged. But maybe they should. I know that's a controversial statement.
  2. Yeah, Allison has more than lived up to his potential because he never had much. Even as a prospect, he was a slow plodding receiver who can't separate and whose best attribute is that he'll block and is a good guy. The fact that he was able to not only make a roster in the NFL but somehow turn in a lengthy career rather than playing in Canada or the XFL is nothing short of a miracle.
  3. Why aren't drive-in movie theaters making a huge comeback right now?
  4. Trade for Brandin Cooks and we're all set.
  5. Meant to post this in the Other Sports thread. My bad.
  6. I think an NBA return is inevitable. Maybe not in April, but I would bet on May. They are looking at all kinds of options. They are looking at taking over a place in Vegas where all games could be played, maybe going to the Bahamas or even isolated college campuses. Players would be regularly monitored and fans almost certainly barred from attendance, but this would become must watch television in the spring here with nothing else going on. So I think if there is any possibility of this being done safely, it's going to happen. The FDA just approved a 5 minute test for COVID-19, and you know the NBA is going to be able to get their hands on as many as they need.
  7. Oh ok. Yeah as far as I'm concerned, if your employer is allowing you to work from home, it's none of their business what I'm doing with my kids as long as I'm productive and meeting job requirements.
  8. Maybe because it's tone deaf and heartless? Again, if your employer has not, find a new employer when all of this is done. You find out a lot about a company (and people, too) based on how they act in a time like this. Work someplace where they put you and your family ahead of their personal profits. Many employers simply cannot allow children in the workplace due to safety hazards. Mine would be one. Children would never be allowed in except under very controlled conditions and it would be very dangerous for them if they were.
  9. The problem with trying to pin down a mortality rate on this is that it's extremely difficult this early to account for those that are completely asymptomatic. At its worst, COVID-19 is definitely worse than the flu but I do think there's some data that suggests that in many cases, it's not even harmful. There's a pretty vast spectrum of symptoms. If you could test every single American tomorrow for either current or past COVID-19, how many do you think: 1) Already had it come and go 2) Have it currently I think there's a huge range of possible answers to those questions. My total unprofessional guess says that we'll wind up with a mortality rate around 0.5%, far less than current estimates but still 5 times worse than seasonal flu.

  15. I think 7 is probably a little too dramatic, but I think going to 8 would be perfect. All this garbage they've been trying to do with pace of play that hasn't worked and they could just go to 8 inning games and shorten games and reduce wear and tear all in one fell swoop and just leave everything else as is. I understand it's going to have dramatic effects on future records, but so what. So did going to 162 games. We moved on. You can't dictate all your future changes in the interest of protecting the record books. I would also have no problem with just calling a game a tie after 10 innings (except in the postseason, obviously), which I'm sure would be equally controversial.

  17. I may as well give Tiger King a try. I've literally been binging the 2002 version of The Twilight Zone.

  19. Sure, but that was true before the offseason started, and who is out there for a 2 now? Emmanuel Sanders was the 2. It's a great WR draft class this year, but as with any rookie wideout, there's a learning curve and you probably won't see an immediate return on your investment.

  21. Yes, but this is generally true of all the Scandanavian countries, not just Sweden.

  23. Sweden has pretty much gone against the grain and enacted a "business as usual" approach in their country with little consequence so far. http://dlvr.it/RSVnRN I know Sweden isn't comparable to a country like Italy in terms of population density but they are about twice as dense as their neighboring Norway and Finland who have much more stringent social measures.

  25. He had a 63 reception, 840 yard, 8 TD season in 2017, which I'd certainly qualify as good, and it isn't ancient history. A lot of that is volume related. He had 111 targets that year because Newton simply didn't have any other receivers to throw to. His catch % even in that year of 56% was still quite poor.
