Then half their radio hosts probably have it. They were all there hosting that watch party Saturday night.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

I was thinking that too.

 

[JacksonDevilDog]

99% chance he makes it out of the basement.

 

[GhostOfJackie]

I like BFW and I wish the best for him health wise.

Off the subject of his health, but didn't he tweet not too long ago that he was doing a podcast with Jake Mangum? What happened to that? Am I imagining things?

 

[57stratdawg]

Yeah. I was thinking the same. Might be where he got it?

 

[Hump4Hoops]

I'd guess most of the company has it by now.

Those dudes horse around like middleschoolers.

 

[Ralph Cramden]

Hopefully he has all his affairs in order.

I imagine it was a premature announcement and they both went back and considered how busy their schedules were and/or the sponsorships never came in like they though. Brandon Walker already has a bunch of podcasts and Jake Mangum is prolly already pretty busy as a minor leaguer, so time wise nothing prolly lined up.

Prez beat covid 8 times. Hopefully BFW can do the same.

That 1% is a provider of lifetime grief. It happened to us and is awful.

[ZombieKissinger]

I thought a diet of High Noon seltzer and velveeta shells and cheese would confer immunity

 

[Dawgg]

It’s Wrestlemania week. He’s got no reason to leave his basement before Sunday night.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

A little too soon probably to have gotten it Saturday night. That’s only two days.

 

[JacksonDevilDog]

I’m very sorry for your loss, but that doesn’t change my opinion.

Fair enough. Everybody is entitled to an opinion. But do you have to share it every time the topic comes up?

Covid has cast a wide net. Sometimes it is best to read the room.

 

[ArcherSPS]

If you had to attach your real name to this post would you say that to him? Because if so then you’re just an absolute, miserable *******.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

There’s times where things are better left unsaid. That’s probably one of those times.

 

[dorndawg]

I’m very sorry for your loss, but that doesn’t change my opinion.

 

[horshack.sixpack]

He would not, and he will not. Imagine every time someone posts for prayers for someone close to them with cancer stepping in and pointing out that most people don't get cancer. Apparently there is a % of death that will elicit some people's empathy, and apparently some people have zero empathy. But #freeeedumzzz

A lot of people wouldn’t say the things they do anonymously on the internet. Especially that a son who died during a pandemic is just a percentage. He is not just a percentage. He is a person who people cared about, especially by the man this opinion was directed towards.

 

[JacksonDevilDog]

It doesn’t change my opinion based off of the CDC mortality rate percentage. If we are told to trust the science and the numbers, we can’t talk out of both sides of our mouth. If this offends any of you, my apologies. I don’t have to have an emotional response. I can look at percentages and numbers.

The commenter wasn't arguing that we should lock down or wear masks after recovery or vaccination. When people are using personal experience to argue for bad policy, then sure, you can point out that their experience is not representative (although probably still just let it go if they're not actually in a position to move policy).

If someone is just expressing grief, you probably don't need to remind them that they came up on the wrong end of a 1 in a 100 chance, or in this case, probably more like a 1 in a 10,000 chance. I suspect they can look around and know that they have suffered something well outside of the norm.

more like 99.999999% for a relatively healthy adult.

 

[greenbean.sixpack]

I don't listen to Barstool often, but it seems his role has been reduced? Is his more in the spotlight during college football season?

Just can’t help yourself, can you?

No he is still big and does a ton with Barstool. He hosts a gambing show everyday and is also on Big Cat's show everyday. And he's been doing a lot of the gambling content during March Madness. I don't follow professional wrestling but it seems he has really taken off in that sphere. He has been on several wrestling shows already.

one out of every two men will get cancer. One out of every three women will get cancer.

 

[jethreauxdawg]

What? Where are you getting this?

 

[ronpolk]

Very likely something you’d never say to his face or if everyone knew who you were.

The wrestling thing is great for Brandon. Erica N (the CEO) is on the WWE board. And Dave doesn't care about Wrestling, so he'll never listen. Pro Wrestling is popular enough to get him a few million listeners, especially if he keeps getting on the tv broadcasts.

 

[paindonthurt_]

Correct. Sucks for the 0.01% but it’s still facts.

 

[paindonthurt_]

What’s the difference in someone else sharing an opinion every time it comes up?

Covid has hurt some people. That sucks. But 99% of people are gonna be ok.

 

[paindonthurt_]

The person expressing grief responded to his post. That’s his choice. Doesn’t really help with grieving but it’s his choice.

It’s still true that 99% of people are going to be ok.

That is true. But I always wonder how much differently people would have reacted to this disease if it was far less prevalent but way more deadly. Like if there was 98% less cases, but 50% of those cases resulted in deaths. The ultimate death toll would be the same, but people would be cowering in their homes.

I mean if 30 people die of shark attacks this summer you can bet your ***, we’d be having a Shark Hunt bonanza.

 

[Bill Shankly]

This thread brought out the worst in several people. At least I hope it's the worst.

 

[Ralph Cramden]

Let me just say that death is a daily occurrence. I had a friend drown in the river yesterday another buddy had a stroke, my wife died of a brain aneurysm but everytime someone mention aneurysm I don't come on whining about how its not funny and its a crime to make light of the sorrow it creates. Thousands of people died yesterday from non covid issues. Death is the only thing you are guaranteed to experience in your life. Its promised to you so lighten the 17 up
