Honestly,  Am I the only one reacting to Rhule coughing multiple times in yesterday's presser?

What are the rules for covid-19 testing in the league?

8.10, 8.18, 9.25, 10.18 and 11.55 for example. 

Surprised no "journalists"  brought it up. Even a negative test could be newsworthy.

 

I definitely noticed it and did wonder if someone would bring it up in the interview when I watched it, but I'm not sure that's an appropriate question for a journalist to ask, to be quite honest.

as for league protocols, the rules differ for vaccinated personnel vs unvaccinated personnel, and Rhule is vaccinated. Rhule would have to be a confirmed close contact of someone who tested positive, or be showing symptoms himself to even require a test right now. a few coughs do not constitute symptoms, as far as I know.

obviously coughing these days raises eyebrows immediately to many, but keep in mind it's allergy season and even aside from that, there's a ton of reasons why someone would be coughing like that. they weren't chest coughs, to my ears. I get that it's something that catches everyone's ears right now though.

even considering all that, Rhule has at no point struck me as someone who would try to conceal something like that.

I thought that was part of the job desciption of a journalist, to find out things.

This is why I posted. Because I dont know the rules and there could be a legitime reason for his reaction to not be a concern. But if no one ask, like som fluff journalist dont, only raises questions. In my mind atleast.

Looking at how some other responded to me (not directed to vorbis). I guess Covid-19 is not longer a concern in the US.............

Ok went and watched he whole thing.  Yeah - I agree the cough is a bit concerning.  It wasn't something water fixed for him.  But with that said - I expect / hope we are just being overly sensitive about something 18 months ago we literally would have thought nothing of.

 

Sometimes a Cold is just a Cold.

      Panthers Select Xavier Legette with Pick 32

      By rayzor · Posted

      lol at the tears some are shedding. it's a great pick and an incredibly smart move to make ensuring that the guy you believe is going to be a strong WR for you is going to be around for 5 years on a rookie deal.  and we keep the same number of picks and only drop back a little with one of them.

      Same.  Stover, Sinnot, and Tip Reiman all intrigue me too.

      Live XL Presser

      By Panther'sBigD · Posted

      I wasn't wild about the whole youth pastor energy of Canales at first, but man, there is no doubt he is a sharp guy, and he's already polished when it comes to handling media questions. Another thought I have when watching him is that it's evident that HE believes what he's saying, and that's what makes it easier for others to believe what he's saying. I'm finally starting to feel like he's close to the perfect guy to pair with Morgan to rebuild a young team with a weak culture that we've suffered through this last decade. I really like the different energies they both bring and feel it meshes well. I hope they don't break my heart, haha.  I'd have more of an issue with XL's one year of production if it came earlier in his college career and then he fell off. He made the most of his opportunities when his number was called, and did it in a pro-style offense, so I'm bullish on his potential to be great for us.  If they can go into rounds 2 & 3 and get a stud center and one of the defensive guys that fell during that run on offense last night, that will make my weekend.
