I can’t believe people are still downplaying this virus. Y’all better believe college football and NFL seasons are in jeopardy this year. 

Watching football(College or Pro or any sport) isn't worth it spreading this virus around faster and not important compared to what is going on right now. The world of sports can be on hold for a while till this is over.

At a healthy 37 my wife and I are very low risk too. Our 4 year old daughter per current data is essentially no risk. I'm worried about my three grandparents and our parents that are still alive. They're in considerably higher risk groups.

Well, three just became two. :(

Assuming that means what I think it means, so sorry to hear it.  

Yeah, my dad's father passed away this morning. Sucks, but it was time. He had advanced emphysema from a lifetime of working in a carbon plant. I really feel for my grandmother right now. Funerals are sad, but the gathering of people and sharing of stories does help the healing process and that's just not possible right now and people of their generation in that area aren't exactly the most tech savvy to make a virtual funeral much of a possibility. I'm just worried that as word gets out the community is going to start flocking there anyway.

Tough times man, my condolences.

Meanwhile, in Italy only three weeks into their lockdown it seems like the people might be about to their breaking point.

This is why it's so dangerous to mislead people that thinks are going to be back to normal in a matter of weeks. They're not. You gotta set proper expectations.

The UK is setting 3-6 month expectations for social distancing protocols. Not to say things are going to be completely locked down that long, but we're going to be dealing with a "new normal" for quite some time.

At the beginning of this, I was wanting to camp at home and avoid the danger, as mentioned, I have lung issues.
But this looks like it will not be over soon and I should probably continue to work as long as possible.
This whole thing stinks.

If you have lung issues, I'd be staying your ass at home.

IMO, the president and governors should come out and say bluntly that in two weeks, they will reassess the situation.  Make no promises one way or the other, but tell people that they will decide to extend based on the situation then.

Of course, people would read into that what they wanted to hear instead of what was actually said, but stupidity can't be helped.

China is calling for the trade in wild animals to be strictly prohibited. Peak irony... we've achieved it.

    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight 
    • There's a reason Greg Maddux was never a flamethrower but still one of the most feared pitchers of all time, because accuracy beats velocity far more often then vice versa. Once you exceed a certain minimum capability, you can thrive with extreme traits elsewhere, its not strictly about power in any sport but powerlifting.
