I’m not so sure. All of this would have been negotiated. Because there would have been a venue for negotiation. There wouldn’t be 11th hour “demands,” etc.

Bet on what?? You’ve outlined no specific criteria for a bet.

You don’t ever put an opinion of your own out. You only criticize others.

So safe to say you won’t dare put yourself out there on this.

You said a vaccine is just around the corner and will allow a spring season. I said you’re delusional. You objected. I asked if you want to bet on it. You ignored the question (twice). Later in the day I posted a news piece printed today with Fauci being quoted he real best case timeline is second and third quarter of 2021. I’m not sure why they aren’t being more upfront.

I'm sure he cares deeply about what a blow-hard Trumpster sports talk-show host thinks of him.

Yeah who cares if a player gets infected and that causes a heart disease that will kill them in their 30’s, and it was entirely preventable by cancelling the fall season?? Just so long as it never gets transmitted during a game. That’s what matters.

Wait, I confused, now you would like to prevent heart disease? But when I mentioned heart disease as the biggest killer in the United States you mocked me. Heart disease is preventable. Healthy diets and lifestyles prevent heart disease. Yet we hear nothing from you urging people to eat better on a daily basis? But this pandemic has you worried about a couple cases of heart disease now?

As a collective whole Gopher Nation are we not smarter than this? Does CNN tell us what to say and do every morning?
 

Yet again, Sanford brings another teams offensive production to a screeching stop.

If you have heart disease can you spread it to others?

It's pathetic how pandemic deniers, science deniers, Fox News watchers, and Trump lackeys are pretty much the same people. The people who are concerned about Covid-19 aren't worried about "a couple of cases of heart disease". What bothers them are the many thousands of people who in February were living, working, and looking forward to many more years of happy and productive lives who are now dead or struggling with health issues caused by a virus they got from being too close to people who were showing no outward signs of being sick. And add to those victims the over 900 health care workers in America who have died since February because of their selfless and courageous efforts to take care of their Covid-19 patients and try to keep them alive.

These just are not real facts. Sorry. You are running in a platform that if someone doesn’t believe what you believe in they must be a Fox need watcher?

I’m a democrat.That kind of throws a wrench in your accusations. It sounds like you are not a Covid-19 expert... it sounds more like you dislike anything that doesn’t not align with your parties political lines. That’s not me, I look at the whole picture and make the most educated decisions I can based on what I know. Not because I don’t like the president. I know your better than that.

Just curious where you are getting 900 from? The Guardian story?

Below is I believe the legitimate tracker at 163 as of today, your at almost 6 times that number. Still a tragedy. Everyone of these a hero. I think the rampant inflation of every bad statistic is part of what gets a little tiresome to refute.

Even in the Guardian story claiming 900 deaths, they acknowledge that they have only confirmed 167 of 922 deaths to be COVID related. But suspicion is proof, if someone dies and it fits your narrative claim the bogeyman.

Yes, because in the new world, if I don't love you, I hate you. I am an independent. I think for myself. MOST people are not all good or all bad, all right or all wrong. Not too many actual thinkers left Alaska; people want others to tell them how to think. Enraged people click hyperlinks like junkies and they are loyal to their dealers.

Love this post. So grateful to be raised without a doctrine to either party, any religion or myth or any person. In pausing to reflect on thoughts and ideas we can learn how to think not what to think. By nature we want to believe what we believe and we want others to agree with us. This gives the illusion of safety but only in facing fear is their courage. People hate change until the pain of staying the same becomes unbearable and in that course they will hate, insult others that do not believe what they do.

1. Ummmm, what?
2. Stopping college football is not stopping the world.
 

some- not all - of the players want to have it both ways.

on the one hand, they say they want to play.

on the other hand, they say they will not waive their right to pursue legal action against their school if they were to experience serious medical issues.

You can't have your cake and eat it too.

Gophers get, what, $40-million a year from BTN? One or two lawsuits could wipe that out. That is what administrators are facing.

The world was never stopped. I'm not even saying they shouldn't try to play football this fall. But to continue to act like this is exactly like the flu is ridiculous.

How about this, it's more infectious and less lethal than the flu.
 

Of the perils that could befall a college football player in 2020, while playing the game, COVID-19 wouldn’t even make an objective Top 10 list.

So what’s the REAL issue?
 

2:00 announcement coming officially postponing fall season to the spring. Yeah, right.

Things will get very interesting now. Will the Gophers pursue their own season like Nebraska, Ohio State, MIchigan, Penn State and Iowa plan to?

People assume that the players are all thinking they have a raw deal and are willing to sit-out. Yesterday was the closest, in 150 years,major college football players have come to organizing. And it was specificall for the purpose of playing the season on-time.
 


Darn this year sucks. At least we can ride the high of the 2019 season. Any chance Bateman reconsiders now?

COVID is never going away. It's a new cold virus that will continue to circulate. It has now run through most of the vulnerable population, and the death rate will continue to drop.

The faster people come to grips with this reality, the faster we'll go back to normal.
