NFL / Covid Updates

This whole situation sucks and there's people that will lose more than the others, as always.
Don't think less of yourself for believeing the "American Dream" or for having to close the business your father fought years for.
There's not much one can do when all the odds are against and there's a lot you can be proud of. Many people spend their lives not even giving a fight and I'm pretty sure you are not one of those.
Stay close to the ones you love through the storm and better days will come. Maybe the Browns won't win, but we will have a laugh about it. Pink font and all.

Take care, Dbone.
Seriously man, you sound depressed. Stay on top of that.
I have a feeling more people are going to die due to the economic fallout than the actual virus. Don't be one.

Are you talking about like suicide or some such? I would certainly hope not, considering that we are pushing 90,000 deaths in this country from the virus so far. And that is why I encouraged him to stick with his love/interest in sports/football/Browns. You know this being an attorney yourself....it is partly why the term "Counselor" is associated with being an attorney. When you have clients who have suffered financial devastation...having to go bankrupt or assert other remedies, or who have had loved ones die, or who face the breakup of their marriage/family, or who face even criminal prosecution.....you have to give them some kind of lifesaver to cling on to....some kind of encouragement for hope for something in the future.

I was actually trying to say some kind words to Dbone, lol.
I'm not having a good time but I have been to worse times. We'll get out of this one!

No one says you have to wait.....go on. Get out there. Do your thing. We won't forget to put roses on your grave. (or your grandparents/parents whom you may have infected).
My Grandparents are already dead.. But thanks for playing along...

Half of mine were dead before I was born. Both Grandfathers. I believe a bleeding ulcer got one, and a fucking Nazi bomb got the other. Both of my grandmothers lived to be old enough...(like 85) .yet both of them died before I graduated from HS. Cigarettes got my Mom, and alcohol got my Dad. For me, it will probably be sugar.

My Moms father was killed during WWII in europe fighting for the Croatian Ustasa.. Her mother died of natural causes in 2010. Grandpa on dads side died in 72 when I was 7, His wife passed in 1980.. Cigarettes and Alcohol took my father in 08.. He was only 69.. My Grandparents lived considerably long lives.The eldest being 95.. Like yourself.. My death may be sugar related as well.... I still wear a mask out of respect for others.. But I personally think it's bunkola!

NFL engineers and sports-equipment company Oakley are testing prototypes of modified facemasks that might contain surgical or N95 material, the NFL Players Association's medical director said Monday.
Speaking on Monday's The Adam Schefter Podcast, Thom Mayer said "there will probably be a recommendation" that the NFL use such masks to protect players from the coronavirus when the league returns to play.
"Back in early March, I had suggested that we should consider novel and emerging ways to handle the helmets and the facemasks and the spread of the virus," Mayer said. "And these guys, the bioengineers that we use and that the league uses -- Oakley, as you may or may not know, does all the face visors for the league under contract -- these guys got the bit between their teeth."

Cool. Maybe I'll get one to wear to the grocery store and have an advantage when I have to fight one of those MAGA assholes who insists on not wearing one while breaking the rules on distancing at the checkout counter. I could also threaten to go full Garrett on him too.?

Well, you don't have to go to that extreme......what you simply do there is that when you encounter one of them not keeping his distance , pull your mask down and fake cough in his direction. See how he reacts to that.

Maybe....but it would also point out their stupidity.

I can't imagine playing NFL or any football with an anti-coronovirus mask when you're gasping for some cool fresh air to breathe.
I'm also having trouble with the idea of wearing masks in dugouts in baseball and trying to communicate with your players.......and breathing.
I think that there are a few "bugs" to work out here.
......oh and broadcasters wearing masks while calling a game.

I buy that over 90,000 are dead from it....maybe more. I buy that there have been a million and a half cases. Probably more.
I buy that you could get it and die from it. I won't forget to put roses on your grave.
I buy that Trump is so spooked about it having been so close to him that he is now trying crazy bullshit to try to avoid getting it.
I buy that as a 68 year old with diabetes it could be deadly for me if I am not careful about things, ergo I am careful.
And, I will be brutally honest: rather you than me.
