The Bus driver for the Titans tested positive for Covid. 

Quote

 

The bus driver who drove the Tennessee Titans to their game last weekend in Minnesota, and who also drove MLB's Houston Astros on their trip for a playoff series this week against the Minnesota Twins, tested positive for COVID-19, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported Thursday per sources informed of the situation.

After news of multiple Titans players and personnel testing positive for COVID-19 surfaced, the Astros removed the driver, Pelissero added.

"We are aware of the situation and are comfortable that all of our health and safety protocols have been followed," Major League Baseball said in a statement.

 

I was wondering how on earth Covid spread to a NFL team out of no where. So difficult for it to spread outdoors and under the highly precautious protocols indoors at the stadiums. 

 

But the Bus. THE BUS. No better place for Covid to spread. Small, enclosed space with lots of folks for half an hour? Yep, that will do it. Covid's wet dream.

And this right here is why I say anyone trying to predict draft order 3 games into the season is fooling themselves. COVID is a random variable of far greater magnitude than any seen in the history of the game. This incident could be its greatest impact on the season or it could only be the beginning. There is no way to know for sure because the situation is without precedent.

They may want to consider extending that testing to pretty much anyone who will be in contact with the teams.

I would be throwing n95 masks and goggles on every player for every bus and plane trip. Pretty much take away any chance of this happening again at such a low low cost.

Not necessarily trying to go off on a tangent, but thousands of kids across North Carolina will be getting on buses soon enough. Moreover, according to a recent very thorough study in India, kids spread coronavirus essentially as much as adults do, so...We're about to enter a crazy situation.

      Veteran CB trying out for Panthers

      I like Jaycee a lot and appreciate his leadership but to say he's above Ramsey right now is based on hopium let's be realistic. He's got a great deal to prove this season. I’m hoping to see that he firmly establishes himself amongst his peers.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      It’s amazing how simple it is. When you are winning 2-7 games for 7 straight years, you’d think people would understand that just drafting some starters isn’t poo unless they are above average NFL starters. Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase started their rookie years like Legette did so we got an elite WR in the 2024 draft. Luke was a rookie starter just like Wallace. Damn we basically got a Kuechly and Jefferson last year. Bravo Dan Morgan!!!

      I didn’t even say they would be starters. I don’t think Legette will be and Coker was not drafted. Coker chose to sign with us because our WR room gave him a chance to start even though we drafted a guy in the 1st. That should tell you something when Coker chose to come to Carolina even after we took Legette. We drafted and signed guys to potentially replace Sanders, who isn’t a starter yet over Tremble) and Wallace. Go look at our other drafts since Rhule. We had tons of rookie contribution from all of our recent classes. Why, because our overall talent sucked and we needed bodies. Go look at PFR. Here’s some of our players who “started” for a year: TMJ, Mingo, BC, Ian Thomas, Jermaine Carter, Dennis Daley, YGM and Roy. That’s what Legette and Wallace are right now although unless TMac bombs, Legette has kind of already lost his spot. We’ve had shitty drafts since 2018 and every single one has contributed at least two guys who’ve started so 2024 is tied for last right now and we just had a draft where we took 3 more players who play the same position as 3 of our top 4 picks in 2024 but somehow I’m saying that the 2024 draft class is good? Nope, the 2024 draft class was bad and our team is still in the low enough talent quadrant that lots of rookie contribute in our holes until we replace them. Been the same story since 2018 and accelerated as the old solid vets retired/move on.
