* HOT TAKE:
I'm 100%, officially done with the "bring food to health care workers" publicity stunt. Those people are potentially putting their lives on the line to treat the sick, and I truly appreciate that, but....
#1 = unlike 26 million Americans, they actually have jobs
#2 = everyone I know who works in the medical field says they have so much food they can't even eat it all
It's an incredibly kind, amazing gesture, but there are much better outlets for your generosity. JMHO.
* If we whiff on Haarms, but add Banchero if he reclassifies, that's the epitome of Calipari's failure to build a championship caliber roster. I have no doubt that Banchero will make a better pro, and is much more highly rated, but Haarms is six years older, and has proven he can contribute at the high D1 level. We've got plenty of 5-star children, so I'll take the full grown man all/air.
* Coronavirus stuff.....
- have we forgotten about these death projections? We'll be around 50,000 ytd by today, and like a week ago Fauci and company were celebrating new data that put the number around 80,000 by August. How would that even be possible?
- everyone still on board the hydroxychloroquine train?
* Looks like the Cincinnati Bengals are fully committed to the Joe Burrow era. I think it's a move they'll regret, since Miami and their 3 #1 picks desperately wants to move up. When you've got an entire roster of needs, 1 guy won't do the trick. Trade down, play the long game.
* Tiger. Phil. Peyton. Tom.
* Re opening the country isn't very hard. Get your testing in place, and support your ICUs and hospitals. Everyone goes back to work like normal, and you rely on businesses to put sensible practices in place. You slowly ease back more high risks situations -- bars, sporting events, concerts, etc.
All of the rest of the hysteria is nothing but political bs, feigning catastrophe in order to get more money out of the federal government.
* If you could choose to end Covid-19 by sacrificing a US state.....
That topic has some promise, but gd some of our fellow Cat fans are showing their lack of worldliness. About half the responses are California, lol. I know they have liberals and all, but how about states that offer little to no value? Looking at you, Mississippi and Alabama.
* The Cal/Dean Smith comparison is fair, but Smith kept all his guys for 4 years. Imagine if Calipari got to do the same.
