    Can we just fast forward to the part where one side or the other gets to say "I told you so?"

    I check this site so rarely these days, I've almost forgotten how to be a surly asshole.

    It's like riding a bicycle.

    I'm not willing to take one in 2020. I would be willing in 2021 only after 10-15 million others have taken it first and survived for severl months. 

    I wouldn't ever be willing if aggy has anything to do with it.

    Why?   This is from April right after her said that complimentary shit about OAN.  They heard what he said, asked him if he wanted some free stuff, and he took it.  Of course, at the time he had no idea OAN was a network for right wing conspiracy theory nut jobs.  Or so he says.  Either way, it's old news and until he says the next dumbass thing, it's behind us.  

    Yeah, well, y'all better watch out for the thought police. They're coming and this time they got a warrant.

    However, things just may turn out all right after all (substitute Gundy for Dean):

    Sent to first base as a pinch-runner in Game 4 of the 1934 World Series, Dean attempted to break up a double play on a groundball. The second baseman's throw ended up hitting him square in the head, knocking him unconscious. Dean's X-ray at the hospital came back negative -- giving way to a supposed newspaper headline of "X-rays of Dean's head show nothing." That nothing came back to pitch in Game 5 and toss a World Series-winning, complete game shutout in Game 7.

    Bjorge did do Earl. I think that statue is far too generic and stiff.

    I guess it was his practice model. Earl deserves better.

    And I need to look things up before I bloviate on things I don't know about.

    I appreciate your newfound circumspection. It's a rare and precious quality on this board. (Insert foreskin jokes . . . here:          )

    IF we have football -

    Illinois going with 20% capacity with 6 feet social distancing and reserved seating for home games

    Face coverings in public areas

    No tailgating allowed

    Wonder how those BMD's who used to have 40-yardline seats are gonna' feel sitting in the end zone because of social distancing?

    Jimbo Fisher isn't shying away from the championship-or-bust pressure at Texas A&M.

    "The timeline is now," he said of bringing a title to College Station. "You want to win immediately."

    If instant coffee is appealing, why are there long lines at Starbucks?

    Yet, it seems there are those — especially in college football national media — that think quality should be instantaneous.

    Apparently, that’s the case when it applies to Jimbo Fisher, who has been a frequent target of manipulated stats and skewed opinions since becoming Texas A&M’s head football coach two and a half years ago.

    The latest shot came from CBS Sports writer Barrett Sallee, who recently disparaged Fisher’s 17-9 record in his first two seasons at A&M. Sallee termed the 2020 season a “put-up-or-shut-up” year for Fisher.

    Bashing Fisher’s first two seasons at A&M is at least short-sighted. At most, it’s ignorant.

    True, A&M did not agree to pay Fisher $7.5 million per year for 17 victories in two seasons. Some fans, of course, might be dissatisfied. Impatience is a common trait among college football fans.

    Those 17 wins in 2018-19 include Tx State, Lamar, UTSA, Northwestern State, Louisiana-Monroe, and UAB. Take away those 6 cupcakes and they're 11-9. And don't forget, some of those 11 came against mighty Arkansas, Kentucky, and the Mississippi schools.

    I think if you were younger, you might be inclined to credulously say "oh this is an important issue on which I must listen and engage!" 

    When over the years you learn "engage" in this context means "sit quietly and then agree with everything you've heard", engagement loses its appeal. 

    Bingo.
