Are you in Aurora? They’ve had a few mass vax sites that only run for a day but handle like 2k at a time.

NFL 2021 offseason thread
You aren't getting this. It has nothing to do as a comment on Seattle as much as the criticism among bears fans that are even against it as a hypothetical because it's "giving away the future". It is a comment on the NFL and the over the cap teams that are competitive being "wrong" when they didn't win a superbowl and the more conservative teams. And regarding these basebally analogy you are just ignoring the fractured relationship/trade demand aspect. This isn't a team building exercise. No one is advocating that Seattle should trade Wilson because picks are better. They are saying it may be worth moving on, getting picks and $35 million of cap space back in future years than having a poisonous relationship between your top paid player and its coach. Especially when every single offensive play gets touched by that player, and he is the one leading the team on the field. In Baseball, it would be like if Giolito demanded a trade after LaRussa hire, made it known unhappy, and the sox made it known that it was LaRussa's team. They have 3 years left, they don't have to trade him. But is it worth having a player make everyone miserable, and the player miserable? Other sports have shown teams move on in these situations. And a SP is not a Quarterback. It would be more like when James Harden demanded a trade, and had 3 years left, and the rockets were competitive, and had no reason to trade him, and the whole team was built around his skillset. And then they traded him. I think you've proven your point that you refuse to acknowledge the internal dynamics here, but everyone else doesn't have to.

I do think it's moralistic. I think the tone is that there is something bad and wrong with New Orleans stretching themselves each year and the rams trading out first round picks and being overcap, and something noble and just with the colts hoarding picks and cap. The teams performance? Very similar, but the rams and saints may have a down year in the future where they adjust, while the colts may be less likely to have a 4-12 year, and that's like pushing the payment onto...the children?!

I feel like there's a weird, moralistic tone when it comes to team building in the NFL that I don't see in Baseball. Or maybe it's just the QB position has done this. Like, getting a top 5 QB is so lucky, is such an advantage, that you should feel like bad if you pay to get one when you may not be "ready". The only right way to get one is by building the perfect team that may not even need one, then, only then, are you okay to have one.

This is all just skirting around a single issue of whether one thinks a QB in the nfl can force his way off the team. Um, yeah, I don't think teams would want to trade "the asset" wilson for the returned value instead of holding wilson. But, yeah, I do think Pete Carroll, lover of culture, would be more likely to end up trading away his QB rather than fight with him every day for the rest of his career and poisoning "the culture" than Houston even though their QB seems more committed to playing chicken. And how often do players put out agent releases saying "I haven't demanded a trade, but if I did I'd like the following teams"? That's not making up a story out of thin air, and the power structure of the Seahawks means this will be up to Pete Carroll - who may value a top 5 QB less than any coach in the NFL.

Yeah only ST but Evan Marshall looks like he is still on top of his game. He is going to be a disgusting weapon with a deep pen. Actually, maybe it frees up Bummer to be used as a bigger weapon.

Yeah I'm not concerned myself just interested. I give blood which I also don't look at because it is gross but shots don't bother me.

I suppose if you pick for the seahawks at 20, and trade that pick along with your 2022,23,24 that could be true.

Munenori Kawasaki on why he loves Mark Buehrle
Wasn’t one of the things about Cobb that he actually tried to professionalize baseball and actually, like, tried hard and trained? Definitely a dude that would have benefitted from modern training/salary

I do think it’s an asset for pace that the league will laugh at whatever the bears do that they can assure Schneider/Carroll that people will say they got great return

I mean ok but it's also been injected into 10 million+ arms in UK and it has shown even 1 shot to be effective after 6 weeks. Getting hung up on their November study results still is bizarre. And this is all in the midst of their strain, so it seems like a pretty good rather large study.

It is shit or get off the pot time with AZ. US Should either put some goals out for approval, or send that stuff (we have millions of doses sitting in Ohio) to countries in the Americas.

Missed this yesterday https://ir.novavax.com/news-releases/news-release-details/novavax-confirms-high-levels-efficacy-against-original-and Novavax probably won't play a big roll in initial rollout in US, but it seems to be as excellent as the others, is a really interesting version of vaccine, and I think will be what is used for boosters in future. Unfortunately, they had the least production ability, but I hope this moves to getting approved soon and they can get some manufacturing partners. Maybe the EU should try to like get vaccines from them.

All is true, but still there are some things that would smooth out communications/process (everyone who wants one signs up through local health dept) that would slow stuff down. My dad was in NC that did that, and was months behind my mom (SC) and inlaws (IL) who gave it out to a number of different places to distribute. Now, had funding passed in october, local health depts probably could have scaled up, all that is true. But that didn't happen, so the effort to increase distribution by giving it to more avenues is fine with me, but it does make things confusing. But honestly I'd say the most confusing thing has been the overlap between local/county/state public health depts. Honestly have very low opinion of many of those operations around me, who may be able to do some behind the scenes stuff but have shown an unbelievable inability to adjust when faced with new evidence.
