So our whole team will be out next week with covid. Can the lines play in masks?
If I understand the latest and greatest NFLFU guidance announced yesterday, if a player is vaxxed and claims to be asymptomatic, a positive test won’t hold them out of anything now. What player is going to fess up to symptoms now? Not many.
NFL sees cases starting to rocket again and is bound and determined to play all games with minimal disruption to schedule. Entering the mega-cash cow parts of the schedule…

That's rather mean of you.
I see what you did there.
@jamisonhensley: This is how short-handed the Ravens are today against the Packers
🏈17 players on IR (including 7 starters)
🏈5 players on the COVID list (including 3 starters)
🏈13 players on the injury report (with Lamar Jackson unlikely to play)
The asymptomatic shouldn't have been subject to testing anyway, regardless of immunization status.
When you have someone like golfer Jon Rahm test positive in early June, test negative to be able to play at the US Open and British Open, and then test positive again to have to miss the Olympics, it really ought to say something about the quality of the testing. (Or for the NFL, try Sean Payton, who tested positive back in March 2020 and again this week.)
But nobody wants to say that because the narrative is that we have to hate on the unvaccinated who are the cause of all of life's problems.

It was rather modish of me, wasn't it?

Vikings OL has social distanced since 2007. Way ahead of their time.
Crazy ass thought of Rodgers throwing 500 TDs before 100 INTs might actually happen. It’s 439 to 93 today.
Remember he was the first ever to throw 300 before 100.
He’s so fucking good.

Yeah, this is going to be abused like crazy.

Creeping hubris.
Lamar Jackson officially out for the Ravens.

Don’t know how I feel about that. At least GB has some tape on the backup from last week.

True. The Packers have been beaten by backups several times.
"Hoovered" is what, a verb? An adjective? I ain't so good with the English.
With Jackson out that means we have fewer interceptions.
