:no:
Vance McDonald.....
And he was "sick" on Friday and played on Sunday. I hope the Steelers get in trouble for this.

Yeah right! I feel certain he was tested a bunch of times before Sunday.Quote:

Vance McDonald has a cough e I e i o
I'm surprised. I thought he would drop it rather than catch it.Quote:

I know that Chris Carter tells the story of being so ill that he was on an IV while flying to a game. But, that was a different time. Allowing Vance McDonald to board the team plane (with circulated air) risks having several Steelers players excluded from future games... not to mention possible fines for allowing him to play against another team. :doh:
Biden won, COVID19 will be gone before the Superbowl, no worries.

Oh, indeed. I fault both teams for being irresponsible. Whether you believe in COVID or not (I’m not trying to tangent towards that discussion :lol: ), the rules for this NFL particular season are in place.Quote:

Ask Tom Izzo.
With all the partying in the streets in the major cities, the amount of cases will explode. I wouldn't be surprised to see a shortened season. efffffff
Same thing could’ve happened to Vance. He was sick, he tested negative, he played and now he tested positive.Quote:

Please restrict the political posts to the Soapbox subforum. Thanks.Quote:

Not trying to make this a soapbox thing or a thing about viruses science. Just saying that look at say the Big10 and then look at the NFL. In the Big10 the patterns that teams are reporting are much more like what one would expect with an illness. In the NFL...the patterns or lack thereof are surprising.
Long story short...with ALL the money on the table in the NFL...I suspect that teams are playing fast and loose with this and the league is letting it go. Do I particularly care? No. These are grown men. They should all know what they are getting into. College -- different story. What's my point? I think the NFL is playing with fire and I hope they and no one involved gets burned BUT I also won't be shocked to learn that this eventually all blows up in their face.
Well, at least we have good news now. Our guys on the Covid list, besides McDonald, can play.
That gives me a lot confidence in this game now
