HankTom Brady leaving the Patriots is heartbreaking but I am mostly reminiscing about the championships
It was heartbreaking but it was more of like I kind of agree with reminisced. I was reminiscing More than I was crying in my Cheerios. . . You can never take away like the six championships.
Big CatBill Belichick prefers to part with players a year too early rather than a year too late
I think Belichick has proven throughout the years that he will always walk away from a guy a year too early than a year too late. And in a probably was a situation where he's like, I'm not going to pay a 42 year old quarterback 30 million dollars a year for multiple years.
Big CatThe Chicago Bears will pursue every available quarterback and somehow end up with none of them
The Bears are going to be in on every single quarter back out there and somehow get none of them and completely demolish what little is left of Mitchell Trubisky's confidence to the point where what you'll be gone now.
PFT CommenterBill O'Brien is a sleeper agent for Bill Belichick designed to implode AFC teams
I remain convinced this day that Bill O'Brien is a sleeper agent for Bill Belichick as are all of his former assistant coaches that go out across the country take jobs usually in the AFC implode teams and then come back to ensure the Patriots and get to the Super Bowl faster.
Big CatPhilip Rivers on the Colts will finish between 7-9 and 9-7
The Colts will be exactly what they were. They will beat a few teams they shouldn't be... and they'll finish the season somewhere between seven and nine with if I was a quarterback in the AFC South, I'd be very happy with the signing.
Hot Seat Cool Throne
Big CatThe Buffalo Bills are now the favorites in the AFC East with Brady gone
Another bonus cool throne is the Buffalo Bills because now that Tom Brady's out the division, I think you have to say that the bills are hills country... they might be favored to win.
Interview
Dr. Anthony FauciYoung people are not invulnerable to COVID-19 and must help protect the elderly
No one's invulnerable. But even if you are doing very well, you have to be a very important part of our national effort to contain the outbreak but importantly to protect the young individuals. . . This isn't something that can be successful without you.
Dr. Anthony FauciRecovering from the virus likely provides immunity for a prolonged period
For the most part once you're infected with a particular virus the next time you get exposed if you've recovered from that virus you're protected. . . You can have herd immunity, which means the virus doesn't have a lot of places to go because most of the people in the population are protected.
Dr. Anthony FauciDeveloping a safe vaccine will take at least a year to a year and a half
Safety is paramount. . . We really are on a very very fast track to get a vaccine. But even on the fastest track, it's going to take a year to a year and a half.
Dr. Anthony FauciThe virus could potentially resolve within 8 to 10 weeks if mitigation is successful
In this case for China, it was somewhere between 8 and 10 weeks. That doesn't mean that we're going to have to be doing this for that long period of time... Hopefully if we really carefully and successfully implement these mitigation strategies... we may be able to cut that time down.
