The Tampa bay older than dirt buck an ears.

Take brady , gronk  and shady away and they are one of youngest teams in the NFL.. 

They are making a push to win it within next year or two with bruce as HC, he will be done within next 2 years

Shady may not even make the team ,gronk is one and done....brady will be mentoring his replacement next year.

Point is bucs are a young team

It’s not the coaches, it’s the stupid rules that the media and general public think that coaches and players will follow with no problem.

If you really expect them not to touch each other, wear masks constantly, abide by social distancing standards, etc. then you’re living in la la land... 

And like I’ve been saying from get go... if high fiving really does make a big difference then things are too unsafe. 

Shady is nothing but a 6 touches per game guy ,half of which will be pass catching , if he makes the team

I think occasional slip ups will happen out of habit, but we’re deep into a pandemic. It shouldn’t be that hard to wear a mask or avoid high fives and hugs a vast majority of the time. It should be hammered into people’s brains by now.

You’d think. These coaches have a sense of entitlement to them. They all do. 
 

I manage a gym and middle aged men are the worst. Not to mention ppl always subconsciously pull their mask down, get to close to others etc. 

Either way... if all of that is really that unsafe then they shouldn’t be playing.

I don't believe we reached out with real interest. May have been one of those where Howie says they look at everyone. Maybe they called and asked a price and said good day

It actually doesn't look too bad in terms of the homes.  It looks like a bunch of people didn't leave and now their cars are totaled.

I agree he's a depth player but he's a depth player at their worst skill position behind TE. It's also the position that Brady is most effective at utilizing in the passing game.

TBH, I'm a hand shaker and I still have to catch myself.  I also work in an industry with lots of huggers.  I don't like the hugging aspect but I still go in for a handshake because that's how I was raised to greet people.  39 years of being hammered in to my brain overrides 6 months so I get how mistakes can be made.  Especially if someone comes to shake my hand.  I feel disrespectful turning away a handshake. 

These guys are probably used to bro hugging each other at minimum of twice a day.  They celebrate event the smallest achievements (they being NFL players nothing else meant by the term they).  As weird as it sounds locker room culture involves a lot of touching.  When you joke around with your teammates you might pat them on the back or slap hands.  I can think of all kinds of scenarios where teammates might touch each other (insert all the jokes you want).  You're asking men to change one of the best things about playing the sport, the comradery. and take it away from them.

If we are worried about high fives then the game shouldn't be played end of story. 

-Line play is hand to hand combat.  My job as a defensive tackle is to get my hands on the guy across from me before he gets his on me.  Once engaged. you use your hands to get his hands off of you. D-line usually spends an entire segment of practice just in using hands. 

-At minimum, 5 people are touching the ball every play.  Sideline judge, official, center, QB and whoever gets the ball.  

-Quarterbacks lick their hands every play to improve their grip.  Watch Carson Wentz.  That's a habit that's imbedded in his brain.  Do we want our quarterback second guessing if he should lick his finger or not before a play or do we want him diagnosing the defense?

-Tackling a guy you are going to grab whatever you can.  Hands are going to be grabbed, sweat is going to be exchanged on EVERY SINGLE PLAY.

I mean I can go on and on.  The NBA is playing and I'm sure just as much spit is exchanged when 2 guys are fighting for position or going for a rebound as when 2 guys are battling in football.  Same goes for hockey and guys digging for a puck in the corner.  

Bottom line is yes, take precautions but if they are that worried then don't play the game.

 

The asian market near me FINALLY opened back up and I just stocked up on (among many other things) birds eye chiles.  Pray for by butthole y'all.

The stupidity exclusion will bar coverage for the car damage.  You know, the one that says: some actions, like parking your car where it will be submerged in a 2 to 4 foot storm surge, are just so stupid that coverage will not be afforded.

I was banned because I threatened someone. I dont believe in reporting but I guess someone on here does. 

Yes, I have uttered those words. Often. About 15 other teams, especially when they play someone in the NFC East, Especially if they play a team  I hate, like the 9ers, seahawks, ravens, panthers. 

Who did you threaten and what did you say? Just curious

No bats, but I did get fermented shrimp paste and cuttlefish crackers.

I wonder what the stupid number of tests that athletes are taking now is going to come out to in the end and how much those tests could have helped the general public.
