    Single digit temps, snow likely.  No thanks. I’ll watch the game in the man cave. 

    Nothing like going to a playoff game in an outdoor stadium.  Indoor stadiums are boring, they hire personnel in Detroit to help entertain the crowd and keep them enthused.  Been thinking of making the trip tomorrow from West Michigan but not sure if the borders are open.

     

    Miss the activity of the people at the bills games.  Not your typical after dinner crowd like Detroit or Grand Rapids Griffins games.

     

  2. Robin Lehner - "Where is the @nhlpa and all nhl players in all this attacks on our freedom of choice? Jack situation is crazy to me.. also people getting attacked by journalist that hides behind freedom of speech to trash peoples freedom of choice. When does the hypocrisy end? #lifeaftercareer" It appears Cole and Lehner have same ideals - freedom of choice.  

  3. 2021 quarterback completion percentage - are QB's getting better or are Cornerbacks getting worse?  Could it be this is what the NFL wants and adjust the rule/penalties to promote the passing game...?  

    Josh will need to pick it up and get to at least 65 percent.

  4. I do believe the Browns are talented but lack the proper character to become a champion.  Players like Clowney and OBJ seem selfish and self-absorbed.  That kind of attitude in the clubhouse does not serve a team well.

    His post did  have some bs in it too, though. C'mon.

    I have another question for you, Woody.

    What do you think would happen if not a single person got the flu shot? Without a quarantine, would we see a repeat of 1919 with mass graves?

    Just trying to figure out how this is different, other than it's mostly sick and older people dying instead of 18 to 35 year olds.

    Just because there are new cases does not mean that the vaccine is not effective.  People who are vaccinated represent less than 1% of Covid deaths despite being (approximately) the same portion of the population as the unvaccinated population.  With the Delta variant, it is able to infect a vaxed individual but very rarely gains enough of a toe hold to cause major illness.  The mechanism of the vaccine is primarily in the bloodstream, but the Delta variant is particularly successful in the sinuses and mucus membranes of the upper respiratory system.  So people test positive and have respiratory symptoms but the disease does not progress beyond that because the vaccine works to prevent widespread internal infection.

    Dammit, We need to stop picking our noses and sucking face near and with infected people!  I wonder if there is a mask for that... Seriously, yes it does slow down the symptoms and help, however the long term side effects are unknown along with short term ones.  It doesn't create immunity.  This is how it was sold.  However the stats dont back that and now we have doubt and lack of faith.

    But as far as I can figure, only the motorcyclist is at risk. His or her right to be ripe-catalouped doesn't infringe on my right to live.

    And not wearing a seatbelt or wearing a seatbelt puts the other vehicle at risk?

    So what you are telling me is the vaccines work as Vermont has a very low number of Covid cases compared to say Florida... 21,000 is their 7 day average. Glad to know the vaccines are doing their jobs. 

    Perfect example of numbers and science twisted to relay different perceptions and so called truths.  Exactly why I posted those numbers to see how many would interpret it differently.  .

    Of course there are. You're not making much of a point. There are cardiologists who eat bacon.

    Not according to this internet article they don't   "Cardiologists Refuse To Eat These Foods"  Cardiologists Refuse To Eat These Foods (theactivetimes.com)

    When they came out with the seatbelt law, a large number of folks protested "you can't force me to wear a seatbelt, because.. RIGHTS"... or "look this guy died BECAUSE he had his seatbelt on....".     Even tho the data showed they saved lives.    Those types of people will always exist, and decades later there are still folks who don't wear seatbelts.    You can't cure stupid.

    Stupid is what stupid does and maybe they are not stupid.  How about helmet laws for motorcycle riders?  It is optional.  Did you ride a bike as a kid and wear a helmet, gloves to protect your sensitive hands (lol) washed with palmolive soap, tie your pant legs with strings so they would not get caught in the chain?  Look the shot creates a greater chance of survival from the virus, like an insurance policy.  How it protects others and long term effects are not known, the jury is still out.

    You are out of decisively step with with the medical community. 

    Not really, there are professional medical personnel that A) have not received a vaccination B) do not want to be part of the current human testing program

    I’ve found that most people who start with “I know stuff so you should believe me” story, are usually full of *****.

    You then use the word “cancel” or a variation way to often,... and the return key not often enough.

    A writer I am not and yes my grammar is off...I admit my faults.

    I'm finding that any statistic someone tries to throw at me to justify not getting vaccinated, ends up being some cherry picked bull-***** that just makes them sound like they struggled with high school math.

    I've gotten to the point where I honestly don't care if someone chooses to not get vaccinated, just don't give me numbers to validate your decision. If they just say, "I really don't want to get vaxxed, so I'm not going to," I'm fine. I can at least respect that.

    Yes it is hard to accept facts for most ( I wont go there).   At the end of Sunday; Washington had the highest increase, with a 127 percent jump to 15,564 cases. That was followed by Vermont with a 102 percent jump to 431 cases and New Hampshire with a 99 percent jump to 1,005 cases.  Vermont is one of the highest vaccinated states with  25.4%  Under 18,  81.3% 18-64 years old, and 99.99 64 and up.

    You keep claiming to know how science works and then immediately follow up with points that demonstrate that you don't. 

    See, we can beg to differ and not get cancelled....

    and why is that, because my profile pic doesn't have a chicken on someone's head...lol

    So you're saying you're smart enough to be smarter than the epidemiologists that came up with the vaccine but apparently you're not smart enough to know what a line break is.

    I have an understanding of science.  Beside ranting, the information provided from scientists is not always accepted by other scientists and this form of questioning leads to scientific fact.  Right now this covid science is a big worldwide experiment using millions of human test subjects.  Even your most famous epidemiologists worldwide disagree on the vaccinations and their effectiveness and the long term health issues.  Until all scientific perspectives are allowed to be heard and researched, we may never see a solution to this virus.

    Where do you get your data from? A Qanon website? When I hear people speak crazily about the vaccines I get so frustrated and angry. The vaccines have been a blessing that has given us a degree of freedom that we lost at the height of the pandemic. Now it seems that we are going back to that hellish period because of this lunatic cultish fringe with the mindset that is anti-science and and rationality.

    LOL,  and I see it the same way from my perspective.  I grew up with a parent working in research for one of the vacine producing companies.  I used to help him on weekends doing mass surgery on thousands of small animals removing certain organs to see how they react to certain possible new drugs.  (he did the surgery I grabbed the cages and returned the animals,  note a father can not bring a child to do this today due to certain regulations).  So I have a science background (minor in chemistry and enough biology classes including microbiology,  note I am not an expert but have a basic understanding of science) it is in the family and when the virus first broke out and we were told to disinfect everything we touched, bags from the grocery store, gas pump handles, I thought something doesnt seem right.  Virus's dont live for two weeks on an outdoor gas pump, it is not scientifically correct.  Just like the term vaccine - which creates immunity and the vaccines currently do not, based on the evidence of vaccinated people getting sick from what they were vaccinated against.  What has happened is the science has been twisted and turned into myths.  Another example - why stand six feet away?  This is science.  To catch the virus you have to ingest it, breathe it in, thru your ears, eyes, ***** or other parts where it can get it.  Having sex, petting, etc... is how it spreads.  We in Michigan were threatened, that if we were outsite we couldnt do this or that, well it did not match the science.  How many large events in Michigan (outdoor events) happened and no increase in Covid infection =none - Science.  This virus does not have wings.  It doesn;t fly around and enter your body over 100 of yards away like a biting fly or mosquito.  It doesnt single certain people or races out.  Thats science.  Vaccinated people by Pfizer, Moderna, J&J are not immune.  So you say follow the science, what science, to wear two masks, one mask, or no masks?  Who is using their twisted ideas of science to move people to a certain category or ideals.  In today's world it is hard to figure out which is fact and what is fiction.  What is science and what is a myth.  The media - well they dont help.  The government - they have different agenda's then we the people no matter what party they are a part of.   Entertainers/sports figures have their own agendas.  When in this country did it turn into well because you believe this you are an idiot?  We used to listen to all sides of debates and scientific research and information without cancelling out people who disagree or offer a different opinion.  Try that on Social media - facebook, twitter, and you will be cancelled out for your ideas or thoughts.  Weird, I get it.   I dont hate you for having a different opinion.  It is your right and choice.  Matter of fact it is good to listen to another perspective.  However alot of what is going on today doesn't allow it.  Critical thinking (in schools from K to college), allowing to think for yourself and make your own decisions without being ridiculed or canceled out is not America today.  It is a shame...

  15. Getting 4 players for one is tough in NHL.  You add 10 mill and one player, you are going to need those prospects (because of the their lower cap hit) to fill out the roster.  Giving draft picks is different, there are a bunch of variables - does he develop, skills, what number is the pick (not round but is it top 10 or 50th),etc .  Sabres want 5 players or 4 = tough to get.  Sabres also have cap space this year to eat a bad contract to put on the KO Skinner line, but that will slow down the development of the current players on the team and slow down the rebuild.  This could end up in court over Jack's current contract and injury mess (as mentioned above).

    Keep Dan Crenshaw off this board. No one needs his misinformation and *****. Also he is NOT a US Senator. HE IS A LYING Trash HUMAN in the House. 

    Dan Crenshaw is a lying sack of crap. I wouldn't trust him if he said good morning. Also he is saying this stuff for political reasons. So we got misinformation and politics. 

    I say anyone who has been in office, any political office for more than two terms, VOTE THEM OUT!  Regardless of what line they walk.
