The improvement is obviously easy to see! What a beautiful call and a beautiful throw!

or is it the level of competition? 

Sling TV  has  ESPN  unsure if ESPN + is included  as one of their channels on the sports package.   Ive used that the past 4 seasons without an issue   (ususally 45 / month)

articles like these sound like someone is unhappy with their hat size.

I take that as a "no".

Hard to believe if someone got their vaccine that they wouldnt tell everyone about it and collect their virtue points,  right?

I am curious.  Have you been vaccinated?

I made a choice based on my health and ability to calculate risks as everyone should do.

What "forced" vaccinations?   People can always quit their jobs.

Businesses have a right to require vaccinations before allowing you inside.  Hell, they can deny you entrance if you aren't wearing shoes and a shirt.  Would you deprive them of that right?

I don't know of any restauranteurs or business owners who have been arrested for not closing when asked to do so.     

You may be anti-science but if so, the rest of society will leave you behind.

You can google restaurant owner arrested.   Just because you dont "know" of any doesnt mean thats the reality.   There is a world that exist outside of your bubble you should try to experience it sometimes.

Im anti mandatory vaccination   not anti science.  Do you understand the difference?

Next thing you know we'll be requiring all men to sign up for some kind military draft system with the authority to force them into war if the government ever feels the need. 

literally 1984. 

Just because you agree with the measures doesnt make them any less authoritarian.    It was ironic how you characterized one political party as Authoritarian while being silent on authoritarian measures proposed by another party.   Could you exercise a little intellectual consistency?

Republicans to the right, because frankly they can't go much further right than they already are without becoming blatantly authoritarian. 

Like forced vaccination? Vaccination passport?  Forcing restaurants and businesses to close for their safety?

  So almost invariably every nation world wide is supporting this sensationalism to fool you??   Iraq, Israel,  Iran, France, Japan Italy, UK, Russia etc have all planned  this giant political agenda agreeing with each other?

I cant think of any other topic that so many adversary countries have ever agreed on. 

Its a world wide conspiracy!  the world is out to get you.

Dont most of those countries follow the WHO guidelines/ Recommendations? (rhetorical question)     So is its not hard to believe they are doing the same thing.   

This might be news to you but not every country was founded on individual rights like America. 

I dont know how other countries count their death numbers and i dont care   but what i have noticed is inaccuracy of how its counted in this country.  That my point   you can read into that what ever you choose.... because i know you will

I don't know the facts behind that story, but am I surprised that things like that happen?  No.  That doesn't change the seriousness of what we are dealing with at all.

What determines the seriousness of what we are dealing with?   The deaths caused by  the virus...   so yes  it absolutely does change the seriousness of what we are dealing with.    Accuracy matters.

CDC encourages laboratories to consider adoption of a multiplexed method that can facilitate detection and differentiation of SARS-CoV-2 and influenza viruses. 

 

The CDC is now saying not to use this PCR test after Dec 31 because it does not well differentiate Covid 19 from the flu.  I have spent little time investigating the PCR test but have heard it can be ramped (or manipulated) up to be highly sensitive or be less sensitive.

Anyone care to explain?

https://www.cdc.gov/csels/dls/locs/2021/07-21-2021-lab-alert-Changes_CDC_RT-PCR_SARS-CoV-2_Testing_1.html

I cant explain the technical's but my wife is an analytical / QC chemist for a pharmaceutical company and basically said you can adjust the machines to find any part of the virus even if its not a complete virus strain in these machines..    So it basically throws a "+"  when there might not be a complete chain of the virus.   Surprisingly   or not surprisingly they adjusted the sensitivity to require more of a complete virus to throw a "+" In December  shortly after....   well you can figure that out 

Im probably not using the correct terms  and she explained it to me when this happened 7-8 months ago.  I dont have a Biology/chemistry degree.

What are you trying to imply?  Some sort of conspiracy in reporting?

 

Conspiracy?   no....   a need to sensationalize and possibly skew the numbers for political reasons?  yes

But you apparently don't understand what a pandemic really implies from a "herd" perspective.  And that's a global issue as well as a national.

why do you feel the constant need to tell people whats good for them and what they should do?    Did you get the vaccine?   Yes   then you're covered  and you have done as much as you can do.   Let others take their life in their own hands if they want.

Well, we do know that more than 600,000 Americans died from the virus (so far).

Died with the virus...  There is a difference.   

Really hope he makes better choices with his life.   Hope he realizes how fortunate he is.

I feel certain that the new staff at Tennessee is putting the hard sell on Brooks to stick with them. Then there's the matter of him getting a release. UT may well simply refuse to grant it, which could run into long delays.

Can we really expect Brooks at AU? I hope so, but there are some rapids to be navigated before he can come here.

Has UT had their punishment handed to them or is that still in the works?   I cant imagine that it would be an easy sell if there's a  Bowl ban/  recruiting number limit already known

Started from the bottom...

2020: 42-6

...Now we here!

its not over yet..    bama will still try to score

maybe we can throw a female kicker in there and steal vandy's thunder.    The gimmick will draw attention away from the score

I lost all faith in this staff after everyone bashed Stidham then the Patriots fell in love with him. 

Similar when CJ Uzomah completely unused here somehow got drafted and became a staple of the Bengals offense when healthy 

i dont think the patriots fell in love with him.    infact i dont think he will do much in the nfl.  

anyone see smoke on that play? 

gus with the throw away down on a very long FG.
