Harper actually loved his meeting w/ the Sox
Yes, maybe he is selfish and greedy, but I have left places for more money. You can't blame anyone for taking the cash. Most people would. The reality is if you paid him $300 million or $330 million, it isn't going to make much difference in his life. It's all money he will never spend, but it is nice to have just in case, and most people if they are able, like to leave things to their heirs.

Harper actually loved his meeting w/ the Sox
It is assumed that the White Sox fan base is pretty blue collar, but I read somewhere the reality is that it isn't. The average White Sox fan makes more money than the average Cubs fan.

If there was no election this year, does anyone think states would actually be re-opening now?

First off, if this is no big deal, why is Tucker working from home? Seems hypocritical which I suppose is par for the course.Watch this.

COVID-19/Coronavirus thread
I was really sick the beginning of February, and my symptoms were very similar to Covid 19, but it did seem early. My wife was convinced I had it. There is a doctor by me and he gave me the Covid 19 test where they stick the swab up both your nostrils I think until they reach brain, and the antibodies test. I just found out I was negative on both. I was kind of hoping to have the antibodies, but if I had it when I thought I had it , I probably would have taken quite a few people down with me, and some would have been worse, so it's better this way.

On line. Groupon. If you can't find them, you aren't looking very hard. Greg I used to think a lot more highly of you. But you aren't willing to put in any effort to protect the people who happen to be around you. it's too much of a hassle. You really should be ashamed of yourself.

What not wearing a mask does is show you really don't care about anyone else around you. It's plain and simple. I hate wearing a mask, but I wear one. By now, everyone should know they may have the virus without showing signs. Act like you would want people who have it to act around your loved ones. These non surgical masks don't help me much, they help the people around me.

Begins? Trump has officially washed his hands of the coronavirus. And he has his cronies doing the same thing. Why are they so afraid of him?

Boy has the "Republican" tune changed. Since Trump took over, over $5 trillion has been added to the national debt.

My wife is a Labor/Employment lawyer. She insists they are not going to be able to eliminate employer liability. Whatever they come up with will be challenged and the government will lose. Says Congressional lawyers know very little about labor law.

It’s a song they play at his rallies. The guy is so fragile, they have to make everything seem like a rally and he is surrounded by cult members.

Rumors out there the Coronavirus Task Force is being disbanded.

IDK, Dr. Trump said one day it would magically dissappear, maybe that date is May 15th.

The dumbest thing about this is it seems Trumps ridiculous thought about mainlining Lysol is going to cost tens of thousands of lives. It ended the task force press "briefings". I guess no one but Trump could run those. And the guidelines got dumped like they never existed as well.

Unfortunately the 2020 baseball season will probably be a victim of the states caving to knuckleheads, and opening up early.

They are disavowing a Trump administration report. You can’t make this stuff up, and he upped his death to.l to 80k to 90k. We are at almost 70k. He will revise it again.

The new leaked CDC report says 3000 people a day will be dying in June. You know June, that’s when Jared says things will be getting back to normal. What a shit show.

Will There Be a 2020 Season?
It has to start in the middle of July at the latest. I would think the latest they could get the players in training is July 1. It's going to be really tight. I am hopeful but not optimistic.

NFL Thread 2019-2020
It will be interesting to see how it plays out. I do think Pace has to win this season. No playoffs and he is probably in a lot of trouble. So if there is a leash, it is very short. Maybe Mitch surprises. I just don’t think he has the head to be elite. Some guys, even if they aren’t the brightest, seemed wired to play QB. I don’t see it with him. For short stretches he can look really good, but then something always ruins it.

They also have protection the other way. The franchise tag, if he suddenly becomes worth the money, is only about $2 million more than this option. Kyle Long said it once he was acquired, Foles is the starter. Mitch is only going to play if Foles gets hurt or sucks.

Speaking of the mail, apparently Trump sent letters to people who even received their stimulus money automatically. I hope he didn’t try to rip off the USPS and paid full rate for each campaign letter, but I’m guessing probably not, probably paid the “Amazon” rate. Another hypocrite with his made in China Trump ties and shirts. Ivanka’s made in China lines. Even his buildings are constructed with Chinese steel, but he is all about America.

IMO, it’s a political Hail Mary. It isn’t based on science. They know if the economy hasn’t rebounded decently by the election, Trump is done, and the many who seemed to join his cult are done as well. Jared did them no favors with his prediction things would be rocking in July. But it might have been a dog whistle to the Trumpers that now is the time. If they don’t start now, the numbers will be horrific in November. They still might and probably will be, but if somehow this works, that’s great for them. The right to lifers don’t seem to really care about older Americans and those with conditions that make them susceptible to this. It was also a Fox News edict. The funny thing is the Fox News gang can work in their office, but for some reason they are working from home. Do as I say not as I do. I do agree with Soxbadger that by June, this is going to all blow up anyway. It is already happening. In Stillwater OK, they had to rescind their mask rule in stores and restaurants because employees there were being berated and even threatened with guns for trying to enforce, and trying to stay healthy. Just blowing everything off is going to put health care workers at risk. The hospital system will implode. People will die of Covid, and people will die of others things they would have normally survived but couldn’t get the care they needed because of either the system being overtaxed or of them being afraid to go to the hospital.

They just became mandatory in IL yesterday. When I went to the grocery store today 15 of the first 20 people I saw outside had no masks. Jewel now requires them to get in the grocery store. There were a couple of people that took them off once they were in a but only a couple. It was the safest I felt there in weeks. I did hear security talking as I was leaving. Some guy got in by holding his shirt over his mouth and nose and then dropped it once he was in. They did escort him out. I still don’t understand why people can’t put a mask on. They just must not give a fuck.

If it’s so low how come they are preventing their people from reporting Covid 19 figures? Just like with Trump this governor is far more concerned with an outbreak of the truth vs. an outbreak of Covid 19.
