This. Again, you also have to factor that Shaq on offense would be a disrupter. He would command so much attention on the block, that it would leave shooters open all over the place. Pick your poision.

So someone as freakishly athletic as Zion couldn't make it in the NBA today because they were 5 inches taller? I mean, I don't even know how to respond to that. Honestly if you stop and think about it, having a big with that kind of skill and ability would be insanely valuable today. It would cause defenses to sag and open up the outside game even more than you see just through ball movement. You couldn't cheat off Shaq to the three point stripe. You would have to dedicate at least, if not two defenders when he had the ball, or it would be easy pickins. Once he moved the ball from the post, he would have all kinds of shooter options.

I really hope that enough states stick to their guns about staying closed longer so that we can collect divergent data sets to prove who is right and wrong here for opening up this early.

People forget how freakishly athletic Shaq was when he came into the league. He's Zion at the same stage.

Shaq exists in today's NBA. His name is Zion Williamson.

I don't know if it is coincidence or timing, but if you are looking for historic White Sox pieces now is a great time to check out Ebay. I found the 2006 give aways for the world series trophy and ring cheaper than they have been in 10 years +.

Ah, I thought was the one where West called him for the balk, and then ejected him for essentially being upset about getting called for the balk.

That was the epic meltdown on Joe West. It was a classic.

Anyone listen to the Joel McCale/ Ken Jueng podcast? Thinking about checking it out.

I don't know that he would be a great defender today, but Toni wasn't built to play the physical 80's/90's basketball game. He was made for 2020 NBA basketball. He was extremely long, and had a beautiful outside game. His length would let him guard space instead of a post up 4 much better. His ability to recover would be way better than his ability to play the post defense.

The silly thing is that people don't think they are paying for people who aren't taking care of themselves now. Why do you think hospital stays are so expensive? You are paying for everyone else's risk factors, as well as the uninsured.

I did mine for the first time. My flat top turned into a buzz cut. It will grown back.

It can be pushed back by up to 6 months for each of the next two years, as of now. https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/mlbs-2020-draft-changes-will-have-long-term-ramifications-most-of-them-will-be-bad-for-baseball/

If July 2 even happens.

Sweden has on one the highest fatality rates in the world from Covid per capita. Their death rate is even higher than the United States.

Another article on how extreme the undercounting on Covid may well be. https://www.ft.com/content/6bd88b7d-3386-4543-b2e9-0d5c6fac846c?utm_campaign=527dbb4637-briefing-dy-20200428&utm_medium=email&utm_source=Nature+Briefing&utm_term=0_c9dfd39373-527dbb4637-45007253

Waiting for him to open up the White House to the public.

Holy F@#%. I can't understand how anyone could think this is a bad thing. That's astonishingly horrible.

Congress isn't going to be back to work, because it isn't safe. You can't make this stuff up. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/reversing-course-house-won-t-return-d-c-next-week-n1194316?fbclid=IwAR1JwTvQiza63_2J7vq5RvyoGEyL-r5AF3G1oBb6jrMneZHluiVbk8zY0vI

So if Pence had COVID, there was a 70% transmission chance between him and the people who were masked.

It also ignores the fact that these types of situations have been life for a long time for a lot of people in poverty. Now that it is happening to other people, the middle class is taking notice.

We went through this when packaging companies were taken to task in The Jungle. They swore regulation and common sense would put the price of food out of range of the common person, and it would put farmers out of business. That never happened. It is also worth noting that if the President's economic plans hadn't have largely destroyed farming in this country over the past couple of years, the industry wouldn't be in such dire straights already. To spin this back around, how much death from the food supply are you willing to tolerate, especially with the consequences for those poisonings being largely removed.

So if you die because your employer forces you back to work, too bad.

And baseball is going to be worse because at least football had a season to go off of, baseball isn't going to have that.

The more things open up, the more the curve will accelerate again. It is a mathematical certainty. We know that only a small percentage of people have any antibodies, and that is even if a secondary infection isn't possible anyway. We know lots of actively infected people are still out there, because cases are still going up by 30,000 a day, and the infection window seems to be at least 14-21 days. We know this is highly infectious by the level of outbreaks that are happening in places like jails and nursing homes where distancing is impossible. Put more people into situations mimicking the crowding of jails and and watch the outbreaks happen. Hopefully MLB figures out a way to do this isolated from people so that they don't pick up outbreaks from other places, but this seems pretty impossible to me.
