Xavien Howard at Left Cornerback, Byron Jones at Right Cornerback. Bobby McCain at Free Safety and Eric Rowe at Strong Safety. I believe this is our best secondary in a long time. Both Howard and Jones can be lockdown corners. Howard has the INT’s but Jones is regarded as one of the top cover corners in the NFL and shuts down the receivers he’s on. A healthy Bobby McCain this season will be better than he was last year struggling with a shoulder injury. Eric Rowe who has played a lot of different positions much like McCain, really seemed to find himself at Strong Safety. I thought he played his best ball there and his elite athleticism is a big plus at safety.
We drafted another CB who will likely be our slot and nickel corner in RD1 pick #30, Noah Igbinoghene (Iggy Mahogany). Those 5 guys in addition to up and comers like Nik Needham, Stevie Parker, Ken Webster and Ryan Lewis makes our depth legitimate. At safety we have 3 young vets who provide nice depth in Clay Fejedelem, Adrian Colbert and Kavon Frazier and a very promising rookie who may end up rising to the top of the depth chart before long in Brandon Jones. Add in a CB who at one time seemed like a potential starter in Cordrea Tankersley. Tank started 11 games in 2017 replacing Byron Maxwell who we picked up from Philly. Tank definitely showed promise in 2017 but suffered a season ending ACL injury in 2018. He was placed on the PUP in 2019 while recovering but couldn’t make it back last year. This is Tank’s final year on his contract so I expect he will be looking to crack the lineup to get himself another contract next year either here or elsewhere.
Having two shutdown corners should make a huge difference for our defense. We all know we’ve struggled to get to the QB the last few years but the additions we made this offseason in both free agency (Kyle Van Noy, ShaqLawson, Emmanuel Ogbah) as well as in the draft (Raekwon Davis, Curtis Weaver, Jason Strowbridge) will give us a lot more juice in the pass rush department. Pairing that potentially dominant secondary with an upgraded pass rush could yield excellent results from our defense. I don’t about all of you people here, I’m really looking forward to seeing this defense grow this year!
GO DOLPHINS!!

Finsmob Unleashed 
I am going to start off Friday night with an old classic
My favorite Zep song, until I hear a different Zep song, lol.
LOL @ Until I hear the next one. The next one happens to be “when the levee breaks”
Ah yes, When the Levee Breaks, my favorite Zep song…
HA ! Right on the Turn!

Also, i have to admit their helmet is much cooler. Guess i should have spent a few more years in college…..
I don’t know about that D. I think yours is cooler. Theirs has a snowflake in the middle of the mask (go back a page and look at the image again) and i hate snowflakes.
Pig,
I’d rather finance the getaway car than pay for her to spend the next 20 years in jail, but you make valid points nonetheless. It was mostly just a cathartic release post anyway, lol.
I hear you
AHHHHHHH you really have me LOLing Cav.
LOL, cheers, bro
🍻
I’m just glad he is NOT king of the world.
I mean, I wouldn’t mike him throwing away war, but I like my car and I like bars and I most definitely don’t want him making love to me!
I don’t know if you guys have figured out how to smile behind your masks to let strangers know you mean them no harm and are a friendly
But I’ve personally changed my approach
No more smiles
Now, when I see a stranger on the street and I want to greet them I do a little dance
LOL Are you sure you are getting the reaction you want?
I’ve been threatened with slaps a few times
But seriously, what are people gonna do from 6 feet away
…
I went back to doing the ol’ “Wuz up” head nod.
LOL at the GIF and the subject.
I was literally thinking about putting little faces on popsicle sticks so I could be more emotive while wearing a mask.
Who knew Bob Ross also played guitar with Kansas!? LOL
The whole video is like a montage of bad prom photos. LOL!!
Great news!!
Also, this is how I encourage social distancing
Piggy, I never smiled at strangers before wearing a mask….why would I need to start now.
When you see a pretty girl
yeah, pretty girls don’t like it when I smile at them. I know because I always get this reaction
But the good news is, now that they are wearing masks, you’ll never know
all the expression is in the eyes! LOL the mouth could almost still be a smile.
me smiling at pretty girls
Lol
After they make eye contact with you
When I see you smile…….
Gotta love a good tune that includes “the Dolphins make me cry” and a vid with Marino. 🙂
Rock & Pigg Tooo Funny
👀
Meant to post this last night. Dude is a rapper “Jelly Roll” but can also sing his ass off.
I was going to post that one too!
Was checking out the page for my old high school wrestling team — and man do I not agree with this. And the now head coach who wrote this was one of my old wrestlers when was captain. After I left he did real well…. but not buying this.
———————-
“The philosophy of our team is that we are part of the education of the whole person. While we have had alums wrestle in college, many of our wrestlers enter our program with minimal or no experience. We do not differentiate between the Varsity and JV teams. We are one program, and we try to get as many wrestlers into the Varsity lineup as we can during the course of the season.”
Participation trophies in wrestling? Is that what he’s really saying?
Some of those kids are gonna get murdered on the mat. Lol
When I was there and you wanted onto varsity you went up to the coach and demanded a challenge match. Whoever won while the whole team watched got the spot. Blows my mind. Only guessing they throw the other kids in when know will win the match anyhow……. or at least hoping.
We actually had more matches in a season than you were allowed to have.
so the Varsity did get to sit once in awhile.
Usually when the coach new the JV guy could win!
wyoming — that would be a technicality . 🙂
Welcome to Miami!
LOL…it’s mostly true. They don’t eat dogs, though, so should be cool.
I love that Jamal Adams is pissed off about his pay and is torching the Jets and Gase.
Jamal, you would love the culture here in Miami.
The “Washington Seamen” is probably available
https://deanblundell.com/sports/seattle-seamen-picking-up-steam-as-name-for-seattles-nhl-franchise-and-i-love-it/
Stanger
Just my opinion, but seems just handing things to people doesn’t really help them in the long run. What in the world is happening out here nowadays. I’ll leave it at that. Lol
You think I don’t agree ER? Almost wanted to send the coach an e-mail, but sorta of thinking he didn’t like my own philosophy when was his captain right now. 🙂
We are on same page. My disclaimer was to not have someone else read it and turn into a political shitstorm. Lol
RIP Regis….. was hard not to like the guy.
I hope you guys in TX are north and not in the potential flood area from Hanna. Florida boy says stay safe.
Be careful! She’s badass!!
No problems this week!
Next week????????????
Adam Gase strikes again!!! LOL
https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/29537448/new-york-jets-trade-jamal-adams-seattle-seahawks-get-two-first-round-picks
“The Seahawks will send safety Bradley McDougald, first-round picks in 2021 and 2022 and a third-round pick in 2021 to New York in exchange for Adams and the Jets’ fourth-round pick in 2022.” — That’s a lot of chips. Especially since the Jets will most likely have picks in the top half of the first…. or would have had.
They can’t be happy they had to trade whom might be their best player but they sure got a nice haul for him.
The Seahawks are in a very tough division and it looks like they’re going to try to make a run with an aging Carroll and Wilson in his prime.
The Jets don’t seem to have a plan which is Gase’s MO. He’s supposed to be an offensive guru and he wasn’t in Miami and the Jets were last in offense last season. LOL
Gase is a clown, but I actually think the Jest came out on top in that deal. It won’t matter while Gase HC though, because he’ll just trade those 1st rd pick players a year after they get there, lol.
The Jets got good compensation but do Gase and Co. have a real plan heading into year two? Darnold better be their guy in year three. Can’t wait to hear Joe Benigno on Monday. LOL
Stang,
When do the Pirates get to St Louis? They know they have a series against the Cards, right? 😉
I don’t know — did they put the schedule out yet? If they did I can check. Pretty sure that (1) the Pirates will suck and that (2) you are a pain in the ass though.
Since it is a short season, I hope your boys have a slow start. lol
No surprise with Tua good to go along with Fitz and Rosen. Louis was bubble guy too.
I don’t remember who asked? But here it is
Interesting! Big TE, former 2017 2nd round pick.
Wonder what or who we are giving up?
For a conditional 6th it’s worth a try.
Cav, never mind. I see they are leading div at 2-0. Hoping Reds keep pace.
Another good thing about a short season is Red’s Votto should finally be able to play a full (short) season without going on DL. LOL
Fuck, I open my mouth and Tigers hit a tie breaking 2 run homer in top of 9th.
Per Pro Football Talk, the Dolphins are trading a conditional sixth-round draft pick in exchange for tight end and former second-round draft pick Adam Shaheen. Shaheen was selected by the Chicago Bears with the 45th overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft and was the highest draft pick ever selected from Ashland University.
Since entering the league, Shaheen has been a relative bust considering his draft status, though when on the field, he’s flashed with potential here and there. The biggest problem is that Shaheen has trouble actually staying on the field. The hulking tight end missed three games in his rookie season and went on to only play in 16 of 32 games over the past two years.
In the 2017 NFL season, Shaheen played in 13 games and started seven. He brought in 12 receptions on 14 targets for 127 yards and three touchdowns. Over the course of occasional appearances during the past two seasons, Shaheen added 14 receptions on 19 targets for 122 yards and one score.
Smythe has some competition.
Shaheen to cost us about an additional 500K off the cap.
PFF MIA Dolphins

Shaheen has caught 29 of 36 targets with 0 drops in his 3 year career, and earned a career high 70.6 pass blocking grade in 2019.
The #Dolphins add some TE depth behind Mike Gesicki
#FinsUp
LOL @ Stang
BBM,
With a short season like this anything can happen. The DH in the NL also changes things up. Also teams will only play games inter-league and in the their division, so when playoffs roll around the teams playing will be meeting for the first time. Should be interesting.
Stang, your boys will have plenty of chances for some payback, starting tomorrow.
Gotta love how Flores and Grier are going about rebuilding this team. It’s all about winning jobs to make a “team” great.
I can’t believe how many Dolphins fans are now saying Grier didn’t get enough for Minkah. I mean WTF!!! What did Minkah do in aqua and orange besides whine that he was being played out of position? How can you compare Minkah to Adams?
LOL
we got his services for the time he was here and we may have dropped 8 spots from where we drafted him. the bottom line he didn’t fit Flores scheme, it wasn’t an out of the ball park trade for miami but i think grier did good considering.
Jets won big time in that exchange but they lost talent this next year and should have a top 5 pick for 2021. I doubt Gase survives but Douglas may get them some good picks for the next guy. If not, Gase will bring down another Jets GM two years from now.
I’m hearing from a few people of an interesting scenario of the Jets trying to get tools for Lawrence. if available. I don’t believe it but I’d love if they switched QBs every 3 years. Ilike Lawrence too much to see him in gag green but it’s a fun scenario either way.
adams to seattle for two 1st rnders!
i like the fact that miami didn’t bite on this deal, we seem to be hoarding our draft picks which is a good thing.
It’s not that we didn’t get enough for Minkah
It’s that the Seahawks just paid too much for Adams
Two first rounders, a 3rd and a player is too much
Adams may be the best safety in the NFL. He’s definitely top 3. MInkah when we traded him was nowhere near that, certainly not by his play for the Dolphins.
Yeah I would say pound for pound Adams is significantly better
But it’s not always easy to evaluate that with your players like Minkah
Regardless, I’m not giving up two first round picks for a safety
The 3rd was offset by a 4th Seattle gets back, but yeah way too much comp for a guy you’re going to have to pay big time in 2 years. He’s also a cancer.
From Game Pass I remember Adam’s blowing a coverage, leaving Preston wide open for an easy TD.
He wants to be the highest paid safety in the nfl
He probably deserves to be – but if Seattle isn’t ready to do that, don’t give up 1st rounders for him
Seattle defense has consistently thrived with having good safety play. They had Earl Thomas for years as well as Kam Chancellor. This allows them to get right back to that
2 more releases

I owe a beer
wyoming is quick on the draw. Lots of notches on his gun.
No preseason games…… doesn’t that mean should be lots more cuts? The maximum you can have on the rosters is just that…… the maximum. And now they don’t to play a bunch of games while the starters (or even the back-ups) are on the bench.
When it comes time for live action in practice who much is looking for that diamond in the rough worth versus just getting the team ready to play?
Glad baseball i back but the fake fans are a little creepy.
Did you see the one get it’s head taken off by a HR in LA?
I’ll see if I can find it

—————-
Piggy,
Exactly right. If you give that much up to acquire a player and lose him a year or two later, you made a very bad deal. (I think it’s a bad deal anyway, but that would be infinitely worse.) So now Adams now has the same leverage Tunsil had after his trade.
I’m betting Seattle isn’t as stupid as O’Brien though. They probably already have the parameters of a contract worked out and we’ll see a new deal inked shortly giving Adams what he wants.
A Tunsil trade is exactly what it is. On both those trades though I’m like why not just wait till he’s a FA. You’ll either be paying him the same money then or not if someone goes bigger.
Right on Bookman!
Love those old games
I don’t think the Safety position is worth that kind of compensation. They simply don’t impact the game enough. Adams is a good player but he’s not all that. But like I said yesterday I think Seattle is going all in to win now.
If they do, then I’d change my opinion of the trade. To me, even one SB would make it worth it.
Maybe Lou went to Magic City with his grandpa.
“Los Angeles Clippers star Lou Williams will be required to complete a 10-day quarantine upon arrival back in the NBA bubble in Orlando, Florida, the league announced Sunday. Williams left the site on an excused absence after his grandfather died, but was photographed at Magic City, a strip club in Atlanta. He said he was picking up food.”
At first I thought you meant Professor Lou…lol
I wonder what he was eating at the club🤔
https://www.yahoo.com/news/te-adam-shaheen-traded-dolphins-001902125.html
I thought Gaileys offense didn’t use TEs, could Smythe be gone? a weird trade late in the off season
Gailey really doesn’t have a particular offense. He’s adaptable and that’s what Flores wants. I think we want to be run heavy – screens to the backs and then strike down the field.
I think it’s also about competition at that 2nd spot. We have a lot of room to improve there, so even if this is just a minor improvement, we’re still getting better and if we keep both, adding depth.
Agreed. This team is still hunting for talent. A former 2017 2nd rd pick for a 2021 conditional 7th is a no brainer.
After just 3 games in the MLB (and only 2 for the Braves and Mets), every team in the league has at least one loss and one win.
Ok, even better than the conditional 6th they said it was yesterday. He can play, he’s just been injured for almost half his 3 year career.
Good trade, we were thin at TE, and don’t care about 7th rounders.
I just assumed the rumor that Chan doesn’t use his TEs much was true and why we didn’t upgrade it this offseason.
It’s early in the process with our TEs. Gesicki is the guy who has to build on the second half of last season. The other guys need to earn their roles. We did add Michael Roberts as well. But we’re also in a weird offseason as we know so who knows how long it will take to figure these guys out as well as other positions.
After watching recent videos from the Greise years, he was not the game manager I remembered him to be. He had as much to do with us winning those 2 SBs as anyone else.
He made big throws when needed even if he didn’t throw often. Those Dolphins teams were great “teams”. They won in all types of ways. That’s what I think Flores is trying to do here. Be able to win games based on opponent, not doing the same thing for every team each week.
LOL @ ‘picking up food’ at the strip club.
I went to a strip club in NJ called Satin Dolls aka Bada Bing many years ago with a friend of mine. I ordered a cheesesteak which was delicious, but two bites into it a gorgeous girl starts doing her thing in front of me and I totally lost my appetite. All I wanted to do was… well you know. LOL
LOL
I went a few times when I was younger, I don’t think food ever entered into the equation, but if it did, it was quickly rendered immaterial.
My friend said lets go get some lunch. Strip clubs are not my thing. It’s a huge tease.
Nada Bing was the strip club from the Sopranos.
Yes Bada Bing is the strip club in the Sopranos. It’s on route 17 in NJ aka Satin Dolls.
Steve, it’s Bada Bing not Nada Bing in Sopranos. If you look closely at the sign when they show it on the show both B’s have nipples.
Yes, I got spell checked.
Ahh
Good news
It would appear so, but who the hell knows? I hear 95% of the population is ammune to it, so would we be better off to just expose the team now and be done with it, and have the entire team quarantined from the outside? Before quarantine can be complete retest all and anyone still positive would be isolated. This could’ve been done a long time ago.
Durval Queiroz Neto gets a roster exemption, so including him and Shaheen we’re at 83 players, just need to cut 2 by mid August.
Now they’re saying the Shaheen trade is a conditional 7th, but 6th cond, 7th, 7th cond doesn’t really matter, what matters is we have a 2nd rd talent with an NFL body ready to compete.
Keep bringing in upgrades Grier, and let Flores settle the rest.

So I wonder, will these teams not play for a couple of weeks?
Both I and my wife tested negative but both have bad stomach issues, I’ve had them for over a week now. I’m sure it’s COVID-19, stomach viruses don’t linger this long. Amazing that we both tested negative though, just goes to show you how imperfect the testing is.
Kong – I have a friend who was so against MLB starting the season. Now he’s doing a doom and gloom cha-cha because he thinks this will end the season. I’m starting to hate this guy because he’s over the top far left. He invited my wife and I to his Halloween party, he makes a big thing out of Halloween, goes all out. Somehow in conversation it came out that I voted for Trump and he flipped his shit. He was like “How could you????” “Why??????”. Then the other day he put up a post on FB about the Yankees and Nationals holding the black cloth for BLM and how happy he was about the show of unity. I said to him “you’re happy with the show of unity, but that doesn’t happen if they’re not playing”.
Yeah, there isn’t a lot of rationale in conversations like that. About half the people I know, I just can’t talk to because they are too closed minded about this stuff. My wife’s parents are so pro-Trump we can’t discuss anything because all conversations inevitably lead to either Trump or how minorities are ruining the country.
And to be honest, even with my wife, who is devastatingly intelligent, and whom I love dearly, I can’t get her to admit a single one of Trump’s policies or any single thing he’s done is a positive thing (usually when I try it’s his stance on China which is one of the few things he’s done I agree with). For her, it’s always, “if he did something positive for the country, it was incidental, because ultimately everything he does is for himself”. Even if I agree with that sentiment, can’t we at least agree that the stance is right?
But we don’t need to look any further than this board. Try to get some of the people on here to admit ANYTHING any liberal or democrat does is right or moral. Some of the conspiracy theories that get tossed out here, how do you talk with that and try to find middle ground? i don’t know the answer.
There are few people in the middle on any of this stuff, and it’s nearly impossible to find anyone who can talk about it rationally.
Old saying is never discuss politics or religion in social situations. Can’t stick by that 100% but it’s an old saying for a reason. I mean does anyone think they are actually going to change minds? If you can’t why bother?
Shouldn’t be attempting to change minds, minds are changed by the person who owns that mind. Your discussion should be to offer a different viewpoint for them to digest as they see fit or even refuse. Arguments are never truly won, could be settled by a non-biased 3rd party if you can find one, but otherwise its just posing food for thought and letting a persons reason do the rest.
And you want to talk crazy. We’ve had protesters in Sacramento chaining themselves up outside of the Governors mansion in a protest to free prisoners because of COVID.
Their chant is “Free them all”.
Are you f%^&ing kidding me? Free all the prisoners? Huh?
I heard that back in April over in the New Orleans area, same deal, COVID outbreak in the prison and they were wanting all prisoners freed. Ime like umm, so freed instead of just fucking moved to a different facility or quarantined, releasing infected criminals back into the public sounds like a much better solution lol.
Can’t expect chants to always make literal sense. I’m sure most protestors don’t want to literally have no money go to police or last election Trump rally folks have Hillary locked up.
Bad analogy. Locking up Hillary makes perfect literal sense. She broke the law and should go to prison for her email mess. I wont even get into her quid pro quo or Clinto Cash.
But I agree we shouldn’t talk politics.
steve — didn’t think Hillary would get locked up even if convicted on the server stuff given way such things work out in the legal system. But as is she was never even charged by Trump’s DOJ and he’s the one who said would lock her up. So guess we’ll never know.
The point was it does make literal sense, not if she should be locked up.
Fair enough steve — they literally might want it but it practically cannot happen. Just like am sure those Trump rally folks literally wanted Mexico to pay for the wall. My only point was chants don’t always match up to the real world.
Nobody thought Mexico was literaly going to pay for the wall. It was always meant to be an indirect method, which happened in the USMCA trade deal.
There you go steve — the folks chanting the chant did not take it literally. Full circle to where I started.
Maybe Lou Williams did go to that strip club just to pick up some food. The wings there are called the Louwill Lemon Pepper BBQ wings. Have a feeling Lou had been there before though.
Man, I must have went to some shady strip clubs back in the day. Only food I can remember was Slim Jim’s or pickled eggs. Of course, what do you expect to find around military bases like Camp Lejeune, NC. LOL
BBM ya got one in Pcola thats has an all you can eat lunch buffet, or at least it did while i lived there. Babes over off Davis Hwy between Brent and Fairfield.
Yeah but do you want to eat it all?
It’s not my thing, but I’m sure there’s plenty of clubs here where you can get anything you want😉
BBM — not sure about this one, but Atlanta has some real upscale joints. During school one of my buddies and I cruised though Atlanta on a cross-country trip. Thought I’d landed in a strange new wonderful world. All the places up in CT were dives. Went to the ATM like 3 times.
In my neighborhood in nyc we have adjusted to a lot of outdoor dining spots since about Memorial Day
My neighborhood has been particularly bad about violations (too many people in the street)
But that said, there’s a lot of restaurants doing well right now bc people are flocking to them after being depraved for months
And one of the strip clubs set up and outside portion (for dining)
It’s funny bc the bars/restaurants have set up little borders on the streets
But the strip club is using really large plants, as their border so that people can’t see what is going on from the outside or the street
But on the entrenacd you can see right in
And it appears to be just people dining surrounded by really curvy women in spandex
It’s kind of a makeshift hooters atmosphere
I don’t know if the food is any good
I don’t really see the point when there are other very good restaurants in the neighborhood
I just thought it was funny
Strip cubs have to survive too I guess
I guess we just have a different quality of club out here.
Fun fact for anyone traveling in NorCal, if you’re looking for decent food, don’t go to a strip club, lol.
Kong – I hear ya on your earlier post. I admit myself to being pretty pig headed on certain things and I also admit that when I speak of the far left I’m thinking in my head that they are ALL a bunch of fucktards when it’s probably only 99% of them. 😉
LOL, exactly 🙂
https://www.nfl.com/news/raheem-mostert-49ers-agree-to-adjusted-deal-after-trade-request
I think thats best for everyone, he fits their system and without Brieda they really needed him not to set their offense back.
Yeah, once they traded Breida, his leverage increased, both sides were smart about it and they got the deal done.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/heres-what-happens-if-an-nfl-player-tests-positive-for-the-coronavirus/ar-BB17f7tT?li=BBnb7Kz
Some interesting tidbits from the article:
-If a player tests positive and is showing symptoms, at least 10 days must pass since the symptoms first occurred and at least 72 hours must have passed since symptoms last occurred. This likely means that such a player will miss at least two games.
-If a player tests positive but is not showing symptoms, he can return either 10 days after the positive test or in just five days, if the player tests negative twice.
“Last week, the NFLPA announced that 59 players had tested positive for the coronavirus at some point during the pandemic, and league and team officials reportedly are expecting many more positive tests as players arrive for training camp. Players must have two negative tests over a 72-hour time frame to be allowed into team facilities, after which they will be tested daily for at least two weeks.”
If someone tests positive and then tests negative in less than 5 days twice, one or more of those tests are WRONG! I still can’t believe that both my wife and I tested negative when we’re both experiencing typical COVID symptoms for over a week. I really don’t want to go to the Instacare place again to retest because I don’t want to get anyone else sick and even if I test positive, which I should, I’m still going to feel the same physically regardless.
That was my first thought too, as you and I have both talked about this week, those tests can be wrong.
There is your story and also my coworker’s nephew story. Multiple tests administered by hospital staff after he was admitted came back as false negatives, and only after they took water directly from his lungs did they get the positive.
Maybe the NFL gets the super secret, nananana poopoo, ours are better than yours tests, lol.
Picked a nice day to empty out my son’s apartment in Hoboken. Nothing like running up and down the stairs with heavy shit when it’s 97 degrees!
Yikes! Stay safe, that’s rough.
We’re done thankfully, went there this morning.
LOL, a bunch of fans thought Tua’s arm was in a sling and freaked out.

Heacy stuff, stairs, and loose bowels, not pretty.
Nope, it wasn’t! I didn’t eat anything so I wouldn’t have to worry about my belly.
D, Babes is still here. Never been to any strip clubs here though.
Not a big fan of them anyways, fro same reasons Tim mentioned, but i have been to them with friends. Babes and Sammy’s in PCola. Both had some really pretty girls though. Neither are scummy places at least.
LOL @ Kong and NFL tests
12 Marlins and 2 office personnel test positive in a non contact sport. I hate to say it but how the hell are they going to play football?
It’s not looking good.
Put them all in a quarantine for the entire season lol. Rent out a hotel and everyone stays there, bring their families in, whatever but no one comes or goes. Miserable 17+ weeks, but they are making millions instead of losing out on it.
Damn — and we have 2 boxes of surgical gloves.
——————————————
The CDC and the European CDC have both released guidelines stating that glove use isn’t a necessary preventive tactic when it comes to COVID-19. CDC guidelines say gloves “will not necessarily protect you from getting COVID-19 and may still lead to the spread of germs.”
Gloves can trick the wearer into complacency, said Allison Bartlett, associate medical director of the Infection Control Program Pediatric at the University of Chicago. She said gloves are not a substitute for good hand hygiene.
“I think that disposable surgical gloves don’t really have a place in coronavirus (protection). People get the false sense of security that their hands are clean and protected when that’s not the case at all.”
In preventing the spread of COVID-19, it’s important to focus on what works. “It’s all that we can do to redirect people’s energy, anxiety and wanting to keep themselves and others safe to the activities we know are really impactful — like staying home, wearing a mask when you’re out in public, washing your hands and keeping frequently touched surfaces clean.“
The virus can remain on the surface of the gloves. So while it protects your hands from being in contact with the virus, it wont protect you from transferring the virus to other surfaces and you have to be careful how you take them off not to transfer it from the glove to your hand, defeating the purpose. So helpful, sure, but you still have to be careful not to touch your face, etc.
Gloves help when you’re touching shopping carts etc., how could it not? Nothing is getting on your hands. It’s not difficult to take them off properly. Then wash your hands anyway.

NEWS from the Dolphins: They have have awarded CB Javaris Davis from Kansas City and have waived TE Michael Roberts. We have also placed the following players on the reserve/COVID-19 list: LS Blake Ferguson, DT Benito Jones and CB Cordrea Tankersley.
Well there goes one of the TE depth guys from last night’s discussion. LOL
I had a nurse from Baptist Hospital come in to bond her brother out yesterday. I wore a mask but she didn’t. She asked me if I wanted her to wear one but told her if she didn’t want to that it was fine. I asked her about the # of COVID patients as that is her main job right now is caring for COVID patients. She said they are not overwhelmed like the local news likes to report. Said the only worry she has about catching it is missing work but has no worries if she does catch it. She also told me the number of positive results is overblown. She is not certain if it is everywhere, but says they test inpatients numerous times while they are in the hospital but each positive result is reported or counted as a new positive test/case. She said one patient was tested 8 times (all positive) while in the hospital and each one was counted in the numbers as a new positive case by the lab. Says it is the same with testing sites. People will test positive and quarantine at home then a few days later have no symptoms get tested again but it comes back positive again. Even though it is the same person, it is counted in the numbers as another new positive case.
Tim,
I usually just wear 16 or 17 layers of gloves, and take them off one at a time when I go from place to place.
It also has the bonus effect of being extremely intimidating. Nobody wants to mess with a guy who looks like this –
LOL
Somewhere Mike E is salivating
Here’s a blog killer. Sorry.

Regardless of her politics she is kind of hot
I saw this yesterday. Her politics besides the end when she supported Trump, is right on with what she’s talking about. This is how the overthrow of countries happens. That’s how the Soviet Union came into power.
The $200 per week, then in 10/20 a move to 70% wage insurance the GOP proposed is so much better than the current $600 weekly amount. It’s enough to allow people to survive and is similar to disability insurance. It also will create incentive to get back to work rather than remove the incentive by paying some people more than a working wage.
I haven’t had time to look at other details, just saw that blurb and think that particular detail is a step in the right direction.
There’s no question that there are too many people who are making more on unemployment than their real jobs and therefore have zero incentive to go back to work. That’s a huge issue.
Unemployment is not forever.
The issue we have in this country is the same battle Ronald Reagan talked about before he became governor of California. Many of the founding fathers had the same concerns. It’s a battle of individual freedom vs. a larger central government. Individualism vs. collectivism.
Once we allow an elite body of government to control our lives as subjects as opposed to free individuals, we’re done as a free nation and that will permeate throughout the world.
My POS brother-in-law is one of them. He has been getting 875.00 a week. Been spending at least 200 of it a week on meth,
Tim, that’s what I’ve been saying for a long time, individual freedom vs big govt. First they take away your freedom of speech, then your guns, and before you know it our way of life.
Does anyone really want socialism or globalism here? Sometimes I wonder. Why do they go after our kids? Low hanging fruit.
Don’t ask what the govt can do for you, ask what you can do for your govt. JFK
Mike,
Yep, the $600 a week is equivalent to a $15/hr full time job. That is on top of whatever they are getting from unemployment itself. If those people were smart, they will have used the extra money they are getting to try and get ahead. Of course if they were smart, they would probably be making more than that to begin with, lol.
My father said he saw somewhere the average money made is $950 weekly. That’s a $49,400 a year job. The average American worker made $48,251.27 in 2018. It’s absolutely unbelievable when you add the other extra benefits they have. These people are making, with the benefits included, more than highly trained nurses and sitting at home doing nothing.
Or, in the case of teachers, they are crying that it’s unfair they’d have to be at risk like the rest of us. while being off since March. It must be fucking nice.

I mentioned that last week. My mom said they were counting the same people multiple times in FL.
No worries. It will magically go away!
Aka, we’re gonna suck anyway
Maybe that’s the new “fail forward”?
Gonna be like a strike year lol.
Didnt copy the tag line, if ya cant tell its from Major League where they are looking at the roster and saying, “who are these fucking guys”
Maybe I should wait for the complete list?????
I’m starting to worry a little bit more that the 2020 NFL season may be in danger.
Even if its played i think its going to be like a season of extended PS games.
That wouldn’t bother me much, I would expect that to be the case because of the lack of practice and preseason games. I’ll definitely take that over nothing. You?
“According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, players will have seven days from the time the agreement is officially signed to decide whether to opt out for the season. Players considered high risk for COVID-19 can earn $350,000 and an accrued NFL season if they choose to opt out of the season. Players without risk can earn $150,000 for opting out.”
an accrued NFL season? Is that just in regard to years in the league, vet minimums, and league benefits, or are they talking about a year on their existing contract?
I think the former, Kong.
No they accrue a year of their contract.
Stephen Guidry, WR, Dallas Cowboys, who signed with the Cowboys as an undrafted free agent earlier this year, will be placed on the reserve/voluntary opt-out list. Unlike veteran Maurice Canady, who opted out Monday, he will not receive the $150,00 payout. He will get to keep his $10,000 signing bonus and the Cowboys will continue to hold his rights.
I don’t know how to take the cheats opt out news. At first it sounds good, then you Debbie Downers…
Think of it this way. We beat them and then its because they had so many opt out. I mean playing teams riddled by opt outs wont feel very good beating them. Yay we throttled the Chiefs who were playing an entire reserve offense. I dont know how gratifying that can be. So like i said, if we have football, i dont think its going to be the same game this year.
Not worried, if it’s going to be the same game, that’s out of my control, just win.
And no talk of 14 players from Marlins testing positive and being in quarantine in Philadelphia. Fake news! Maybe we need a recount or they counted 7 and doubled it.
One guy tested positive 14 times.
Lol…but they quarantined 13 others?
