    Man that stinks. I always liked how his teams played. Agreed on the wording.

    The one take away I thought was interesting is it almost felt like he was telling kids if they want to peacefully protest they can. I assume he knows kids will take that as they can during games.

    Well not necessarily Covid related but 3 NBA games and at least the Brewers vs Reds game are postponed today with more coming. Crazy time to be alive.

    I legit didn’t. I honestly don’t pay enough attention of whom is sponsoring whom to say left or right. I don’t necessarily read a ton from them so that’s why it wasn’t obvious. I just across an article that was posting numbers and statements. I went to Fox News to find out about the 310. But they weren’t on that 500+ numbers. I was more curious of with where things stand, if that forced an Alabama to pull out would that effectively cancel the season? I think it would take an act of Congress for that to happen. But I would have thought the same with the B1G a couple of weeks ago too.

    Hey man I checked Fox News because I figured there would be less dispute for that than others. The 310 were not a part of the 500+ number on the dashboard per Fox News. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.foxnews.com/us/university-alabama-more-500-coronavirus-cases-wednesday.amp “The numbers don't include results from the entry testing conducted when the school restarted, which reportedly saw about 310 students test positive. On Monday morning, University of Alabama president Stuart Bell said that the students weren't to blame for the increase in cases.”

    Ok I googled HuffPost and found they are left leaning and Trump has called them fake news. The article I posted itself is straight data from the Covid dashboard in Alabama with Governor commentary shutting down bars for two weeks and then potentially shutting down the school. There was no in article commentary about the data from the reporter. That’s where I was confused on why the right came out quickly. I guess we will all believe what we want, but I will assume the governor won’t call himself fake news about the possibility of shutting down the school if things don’t turn around.

    What information are you looking for that wasn’t presented? It had the Covid dashboard for that state which is different per state. They reported what was based off that data. That’s what Notre Dame is doing which we are seeing frequent data from here. The only thing I did different was cite the website? I am legit confused.

    Yes, they started school on the 19th. So the majority of those tests are from people who were coming back. That’s why they closed Tuscaloosa’s bars for two weeks after those numbers and are threatening to shut down the schools. Notre Dame started getting their numbers in before the 3rd when they started and they are in the 400’s from that. That’s why they went virtual. Based on what other schools are doing I would imagine it’s at a coin flip at best now and if they see any surge from these initial cases they will close down that school.

    Looks like Alabama is getting hit hard University wide. They have over 500 confirmed cases. Wonder what impact that will have if any on college football or the sports world. https://www.yahoo.com/huffpost/university-of-alabama-coronavirus-140343391.html

    Dude that guy argued with me non stop because I wouldn’t anoint the Sixers as the most likely next Warriors five years ago. I was just thinking about that poster today.
  15. I wonder if they will end up getting someone and not sign them until end of September. With dead periods and all. Mike Roberts took a lot longer than people wanted last time. I don’t think we really heard a ton about him until the end.

    Yes, because when you know who is coming or going that keeps them from contracting Covid when they are outside of the bubble. My bad I forgot that is how successful businesses are operating these days...

    I think crotchless would be the preferred option for some. Doesn’t restrict that breathing.

    No but the workers that bring that food in can potentially infect someone unknowingly. It is not a zero possibility Chuck. But I find it hilarious of all things going on in the world that is what bothers you.

    Do you think they are growing their own food and building their own supplies? It’s definitely lower in the bubble, but like most of your arguments it’s not black and white, or no risk and huge risk. Especially down in Florida.

    Hey guys, a coworker I am close with, her husband just died from Covid. Thoughts and prayers are appreciated. Before anyone asks, 60 with no underlying health problems prior. I don’t want anyone responding with political bias/nonsense. It really wouldn’t help.
