Honestly China virus i don’t really hear all that much. Maybe since this started 8-10 times max. Wuhan virus much more common then China virus. top one is Covid 19. However more and more patients have just called it coronavirus that is an issue. Cause there’s a family of coronaviruses 

I wonder what they call it in China???

Now football

Dude.  Get over yourself.  You sound like a complete tool.  "I’m done with this conversation”.  Like you’re the parent and what you say is final? 
 

Make sure the dentist gives you a sticker for being a good little boy.   

Get over myself? whose the one being sensitive? seriously? Let me help you - it's you. Asg posted something that I called dickish - it was dickish - it's not the end of the world. I've said things that were dickish and when someone tells me I say "I'm sorry" or "yeah, so what" depending on the circumstances and the comment. And then I move on. This subject didn't need 20 posts and your silly emojis. I said I was done with this conversation not because I'm "the parent and what I say is final" but because it's needlessly consuming far too much of my time. Asg should have simply responded with "I'm sorry" or "yeah, so what" and we all could have moved on. 

You're the one that sounds like a complete tool - defending the indefensible. Asg made a dickish comment - I called it dickish. I didn't report the post because I don't think there is anything to report. It's not a big deal - it wasn't intended as a big deal. I'm not the one making an issue of this - you are.

As I posted before you should go to RnR because you're obviously too sensitive for the blog.

I think the more interesting question( that hopefully never does Happen for the globes sake) but potentially going to arise one day is if one originates in the US what it’s going to be called by the rest of the world. I think that’s going to be telling

Driscoll’s arms are a tad short at 33” for an OT but not awful.  Basically, identical to Seumalo, who hasn’t been horrible at T. Only a tenth of an inch shorter than JP and bigger hands.  The Eagles are listing Driscoll at 312, he was 296 at the combine.  He does seem to have a decent trunk. Frankly, I thought they drafted him as a possible replacement at LG if Seumalo moves to C but train him as a swing everything.  At this point, I think he uses his hands better than Prince.  Would love for him to pick up JP’s speed, placement and strength in his punch. Seems he is really smart and coaches up well based on the scouting reports I have read. 

The only thing I dislike about Prince Tega is he lets his arms fall and go low at times.  That doesn’t work with 33.5” arms. Needs to work on that, a lot. 

Agree. I commented on that sometime or other.

If you can figure out how to get JP's speed, placement, and strength, bottle it. It will make you rich beyond dreams of avarice.

We have all kind of things to talk about.  All kinds of sports.  I haven't BBQ in a while.  But we can talk about that.  It takes a few over sensitive flowers to send this place off in the wrong direction.

 

As far as practice is concerned.  With the issues in baseball right now.  I still say any sports outside of a bubble is going to have a hard time working through this.  I am still prepared for not football this year.  At least not pros or college.  My sister told me that my nephew's season is going to start on time.  Just no fans in the stands.  Yeah, well if I have to drive up there ans sit in the parking lot and watch him from a distance.  I will.  As long as he knows I'm there and then he can tell me all about it.  I'll need to get good Binoculars.

very good for the price

 

I see no issues with what the NFL is trying to do.

I am confident that a few hundred young men with access to tremendous amounts of money for the first time in their lives will all make good decisions.

I hope the last 4 games of the regular season were a preview of what we will continue to see in the future.  He was pretty good against Miami too if you wanna stretch it to 5.  He had a slow start against the Giants, and then it looked like everything clicked for him with completely lackluster players.  

I think Doug is best when in the sudden death position and that brings out the best in his QBs.  Look at Foles at the beginning of 2018 and the end of 2018.  Part of that was play calling based on sudden death, throw a bit of caution to the wind. Scott and Ward thrived in that environment as well.  

Screw the Douglas focus on athletes. The athletes that thrive are those that rise when their backs are against the wall.  Frankly, that is why I like Hurts (handling Tua at Alabama and picking things up so quickly at Oklahoma - perfect), Taylor (only practice and two games In HS but rose to the occasion), Driscoll (Mass to an SEC position and starter), Tega Wahogho (basketball player from Africa to SEC LT), Hightower (non scholarship player to starter at Boise), Quez Watkins (late round sleeper). And Wallace, Dawkins’ kid’s roommate and under Dawkins’ influence, may be the outlier of that group but, Dawk, enough said.

This is also why I wanted Warren instead of Toohill in the seventh. Toohill seems like a Douglas pick. Got Warren anyway. Warren is a fighter.  Watch how he fights for yards if you can find some of his college tape.   Killins strikes me as a back against the wall type.  Yeah, you are fast but you are too small. Back against the wall. Interesting the Eagles have him listed as 177. He was 164 at the East-West Shrine Game.  Warren down to 218, was 222 at the Combine. I suspect rookie weights on PE.com are based on signing physical.  That could well mean that rookies were getting good instruction on getting their bodies ready for professional ball. Noticed several changes from the Combine, Pro Days or all star games.

Problem my dad and the lab he works with has currently is people somehow believe there’s only one coronavirus in general or happening right now. A common cold is often associated with another family of coronavirus (i want to say 229E).  

 

I read there is some concern that antibody testing may give false positives for that strain of cold virus because the antibody production has some similarities with COVID-19.  From the abstract I read, I am not sure if it was peer reviewed.

You recall him being a good starter because he got help. I didn't realize it myself until someone posted something about on the old blog @ManuManu maybe? It was a breakdown of some of his snaps during the Super Bowl run

Everybody gets help at one time or another unless they're Jason Peters in his prime. We help Lane against Lawrence often enough against Dallas. Guys get dinged in the middle of a game but not enough to go out - the team adjusts. All the more so when a guy can't handle his man. As for Vaitai, Kerrigan took his lunch money in his first game when he was at RT. End of the year, in a big game, Vaitai was at LT and Washington flipped Kerrigan to his side. Vaitai stoned him without help. The one guy Vaitai couldn't handle at all was Clowney.

Sure but if I recall correctly he got a lot of help often during the run.

Kung Flu is offensive because it was intended to be offensive.

JP has the absolute best punch I have ever seen. Would love to have seen JP’s punch versus Deacon Jones head slap.  I really believe with his quick back step and punch that JP would have owned Deacon.

Question.  Shouldn't the Marlins get in trouble for allowing players play knowing they were positive??

 

The way I read it was no one who tested positive played. But they at least knew 4 players did test positive by Sunday (who didn't play) which means its likely there is a in clubhouse outbreak but decided to play anyway, so players who were/are potentially positive, played.

And yes, they should absolutely be punished

The cdc on their web site had this too.
