    Well a week or two pause and a hotel bubble at least stops outside contact. 
     

    Case in point Haden got it outside the facility.

    Newsflash... every team's first case came from the outside.

    And a bubble now would kinda be like closing the barn doors after the horses have run away.

    Of course according to Gipper the entire league has to have been vaccinated by now, so I guess the vaccines don't work... lol...

    You can pay me the $100 when you see me, Gip...

    A former Viking Punter claims that Priefer....our interim coach for this game,  used homophobic language (attitude) toward him. The punter was gay.

    Boy, his female wife is going to be surprised by this news.

    Our interim coach for the upcoming game used homophobic language towards Kluwe because he was on record for supporting gay rights and same sex marriage. 

  • Crossing my fingers that over the next couple days the whole shittsburgh D line tests positive but the game goes on.

    At this point you can’t tell a player what to do- outside of practice and games- it is not working.  They are seeing friends and family that see other people 
     

    a bubble throughout this time at least limits contacts and secondary contacts where things are spreading.

    Probably worth a shot. Are we in full contamination mode here? 

    God Forbid Mahomes gets it and we have to cancel the playoffs for 14 days. 

  • no center either for this weekend

    So Priefer's marriage was ruined as was Ted Cruz's and millions of other red-blooded 'Muricans' unions?

    Summing up Browns developments: No new positive test results today. No high-risk close contacts from Tuesday's positive tests. Facility to remain closed all day, no live practice today. Game Sunday night at Pittsburgh remains on course, at this point, to be played as scheduled.

    Well first off.....just like the NBA....NO one gets into the bubble unless they test negative.  I would have thought that would have been and  obvious requirement.  

    Second....I said it would not be surprising  if the league were to try to exercise its influence to get its guys vaccinated ahead of most everyone else.  They do not seem to have done that because the negative public relations repercussions could be something they would never want to deal with.....it would be worse public relations for them to do that than to live with teams getting decimated by the virus. (they must protect the shield....even at the cost of protecting their players health).  Also, as predictable, this administration's incompetence has shown up in spades wherein only 10-15% of the people that were supposed to have been vaccinated so far have actually received it. 

    Third:   where are you coming up with this $100 business.  Am I missing something?

    I'm with ya, it's just the old article that is recirculating. It was written a while ago. Essentially he supposedly said that we should send all the gays to an island and nuke it.

  • @gunz41 said:

    Again, you actually thinking that they didn't explore it is delusional.

    Have you any evidence that they explored it?    I would hope that I am being delusional there....but am I? 

    And no, doing it now would be a complete logistics nightmare.

    Nothing that the will to do so, the  brains to do so , and  quick action  and money could not resolve. 

    But I am certainly not going to go into all of that. 

    You just did

    All I will further comment, is just imagine how you would feel as a Chiefs or Packers player that EVERYTHING changes on you last minute and 90% of the advantage you EARNED is taken away.

    Oh, it would suck for sure.  (but think about how it would suck if Mahomes or Rodgers caught it....that would suck even more for them probably).  Beside....as someone suggested....bubble up in KC and GB....though, yes, those grass fields couldn't probably take those  6 games.

    Or even look at it in your orange colored glasses. I think everyone (even the Jets) would agree that if the Browns weren't without the WR that they would have won. Which would now have them sitting in 3rd and hosting. You think it would be right for NFL to take their EARNED PO game away?

    Wait....are you saying that if the Browns beat the Jets, and then beat the Steelers, they would have won the division?  I am not certain that would have been the case.  Depends on the tiebreaker situation. I think  division record would still have favored Pitt.   I thought for some reason that we would have also needed the  Colts to beat the Steelers.  Not sure. Of course, if the division title did come down to that game.....none of those Steelers would have been sitting out for sure.  Irrelevant now though. 

    Basically, I am saying that since a move doesn't make things worse for the Browns that you don't have another thought on it. But if it did, you would show more of an inclination to dive deeper, even if you came to the same conclusion.

    I am not sure where you are going here.  I am only thinking about how the league could avoid a possible disaster if  several other playoff teams ended up facing the same crap we have to deal with now. 

    But, I will say that you are right about one thing:   I don't care IF those other teams do have to face the same crap that I do. In my  gut I kind of have enough Schadenfreud to  wish some of them do have to.  Terrible of me?  

    @the-gipper said:

    Well, how would I have evidence of conversations with the league? That is just incredibly dumb of you to ask. 

    If you want tangible proof that something is discussed to think this wasn't some novel idea by you (apparently one who is so much smarter and looking ahead) then you won't get it.

    Of course, you said something about it a couple weeks ago. And every other pro sports had a version, but NO, the NFL didn't even know that.

    The NFL had no other business to think on, discuss, etc. except for ways to screw the Cleveland Browns.

    As for the rest, maybe you should reach out to the league and let them know how easy it would be to institute your plan. I'm guessing they will pay you very handsomely if you can help.

    And since I am an honest person that doesn't dig into a point, I will admit I had forgotten about the Colts win.

    But the premise behind me bringing it up still stands. If it were the Browns losing a home playoff game you would have at least a bit of pause on not caring how it effects teams. 

    And for you (and any others thinking that way) not caring if other teams have an outbreak is absolutely despicable. For one, you have no clue what the outcome would be for them, both currently or future. But more than likely, yes, they would be OK themselves. But they could absolutely pass it on to others who wouldn't be. 

    You really should be ashamed to have even thought that way. Over a football game. 

    In no way with any kind of back and forth we have, or anything else even close. I am absolutely DISGUSTED by you. You just went way past Ghoolie on filth factor.

    Again, congratulations, you just got me to do something. You just said that disgusting comment because of a FUCKING FOOTBALL GAME.

    What makes people think pushing the playoffs back would help any team... including us?

    Hello!  McFly?  Is anybody home?   Pay attention. 

    We are talking about putting all the playoff teams in a bubble during that time...to assure no outside exposure.   It worked for the NHL and the NBA.   And that is just what the NCAA is doing with all 68 of the college basketball teams that will be part of March Madness.

    Well....you said it would be delusional of me to think they did not have conversations about doing a bubble.  So you  seemed so sure of yourself I assumed you knew something.  But by this then, what you are saying that I would also be delusional to think that they had had coversations. .  

    If you want tangible proof that something is discussed to think this wasn't some novel idea by you (apparently one who is so much smarter and looking ahead) then you won't get it.

    Well....it looks like none of us will get anything.  We have no proof they did discuss, nor proof that they didn't .

    I was not talking about ways to screw the Browns...it has nothing to do with the Browns.  The Browns just coincidentally are the team that got burned.   I was talking about ways that the Covid situation could screw up the league.  I DO think the league had any number of conversations how they would deal with that...and implemented some of those ideas...for the regular season .  But it seems that they had no contingency plans when it came to ensuring the viability of their playoffs at season's end. 

    As for the rest, maybe you should reach out to the league and let them know how easy it would be to institute your plan. I'm guessing they will pay you very handsomely if you can help.

    They also only have to do it for one game for half the playoff teams...plus I think the NFL playoffs  have a much shorter duration than the NBA/NHL Playoffs.  So since you asked....no, I don't think I will drop it. 

    But, it may be dropped of its own inertia, because it ain't happening (even if it should/could have)  so the discussion is going to be irrelevant.

    Same here. My gf has a 16 year old and 14 year old along with our twins. They don't care what you are and that's great. I don't give a shit what happens in someone else's bedroom as long as your not trying to shove shit up my butt, soo what's the big deal. Old people mostly suck.
