Space Jam, MJ v Lebron and hockey trades.  Yep, it’s the dregs of the offseason.

Seattle should be competitive right away , lots of unprotected talent .

Odds that the Eagles are one of the teams above the 85% rate of vaccinated players?

Odds that the cowpads are one of the teams below 50%? 
Why does the NFL announce percentage for teams but not the teams at each threshold?

As of Friday, Washington and Indianapolis had the two lowest COVID-19 vaccination rates among the 32 teams in the league, according to the person, who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the league hasn't released the numbers, which are changing daily.

Pittsburgh, Miami, Carolina and Denver have the highest vaccination rates. 13 teams have achieved at least 85%, a league source tells ESPN's Kevin Seifert.

Curious to see who they take from the Flyers. Hagg and Braun are a fringe NHL player and a cheap 3rd pairing defenseman. Unless they are going more expensive elsewhere tend to think JVR at $7 mil for two years or ghost at 4.5 for 2 years is likely going. Unless the Flyers make a deal for the kraken to take voracek. I am not sure the Flyers give up what itd take for the kraken to take him.  

Per AP

Well WTF would have been my second guess for low rates but Indy is a bit of a surprise. Guess Carson hasn’t been a vocal leader on getting vaccinated.

I would think most/all the players of the Euro big leagues will be complaining since it's going to be held during their club seasons in November/December.  Can't play games in Summer there in 110+ degree heat.  At least FIFA deciding to have the WC in tiny little Qatar was the domino that started the fall of Septic Bladder and his corrupt cronies.  There's still corruption within FIFA and all the federations around the World, but that brought some light to how bad it really was.  And I lost count of how many workers have died in Qatar building the new stadiums required for the WC.  I get that they want the perception that they're bringing the game/event all over the World and to 'lesser' countries that aren't soccer powerhouse nations, but they really should only reward it to countries that already have the infrastructure and stadiums already in place.  They had it in South Africa in 2010 and now the majority of the stadiums they built have been sitting there empty and unused for a decade.  Most of the countries that have to build to host it haven't made the financial windfall they were expecting.  FIFA gets richer and those countries get the ish end of the stick, usually.

 

It's completely screwing domestic leagues and European cups; I don't plan to watch it at all. Which means England will win it

My loathing of FIFA is deep - the book written by the Sunday Times team is damning on just how corrupt the process was.  Seeing Blatter finally have his grubby mitts removed from FIFA was nice, but as you say, the organisation is very much rotten still.  It's sad to the see the US Justice Department not take the issue nowhere.

The incentives the league put out should be enough. There's so many restrictions for players unvaccinated

I'm actually surprised there hasn't been a lawsuit because of it though

RE: the Taco discussion the other day.  So easy to make at home.  Taco Bell is a waste of money.  These are the pork carnitas I made today. The fresh/raw tortilla shells are a game changer.

What are the odds Seattle or Vegas win a cup before the Flyers?
