Can you PM me some specifics as to why you would not consider the vaccine. There are a lot of reasons why I think I should/would get one when available, but I am curious as to legitimate reasons why I maybe shouldn't.

Joe. Thanks for the update. Will certainly continue keeping him in our thoughts. Definitely a strange combination of results. Makes one think that at least one of them must be wrong.

Why stop with the umpires. Let's have robotic players as well. Pitchers could always throw an 'unhittable' pitch on the outside corner. But, wait, the the hitter could be programmed to always look for that pitch and set up the bat speed and launch angle to always hit that pitch out of the park. And, think of the entertainment value if the pitcher throws a beanball and the hitter charges the mound. Wouldn't a robot fight to the death be better than the sissy fights we see today? And, we don't have to stop with the umpires and players. The managers could be robots too. How much fun would it be to see a robot kick dirt on the plate when he disagrees with a call. They would have to come up with some alternative language while arguing though. Calling the umpire an a-hole or a mother trucker really does not make much sense as insults to another robot when you stop and think about it. Announcers could be robots as well. The Reds would not have to worry about the likes of Thom Brennaman using slurs on the air. Robotic fans would definitely be an improvement over the cardboard cutouts we've seen this season. And finally, robotic vendors could carry around bottles of lubricant instead of beer. Yep. Robots are the way to go.

Choosing from my list of answers above, I'll go with Monica Lewinsky for the 2nd one.

Tony Dorsett is one.

China reported 11 new cases and no deaths yesterday.

The Indiana High School football tournament is starting this weekend. 4 teams this week have had to cancel their games (and, subsequently, their seasons) because of positive COVID cases.

Is that porn? Seems expensive otherwise.

I have not. But, I was never much of a movie-goer anyway. Maybe once a year.

According to the Indiana Department of Health website, Covid related hospitalizations as of today are at their highest total since May 5th.

Story claims woman died on plane in July. Just now getting counted as a Covid death. Call me skeptical. The woman may have had Covid. But, she died of something else (heart attack, stroke, aneurysm, etc.), A person well enough to get on a plane does not die of Covid 30 ,minutes later. And, it goes without saying the validity of any death reported 3 months later than it happened has to be called into question. https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/20/us/woman-dies-of-covid-on-plane-trnd/index.html

Pritchard just didn't want to have to remember a new name when talking to the head coach. He can still say 'Hey Nate, we should do this".

Dolphins going with Tua at QB. Kind of surprising as Fitzpatrick has them playing pretty well. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/30154407/source-miami-dolphins-naming-tua-tagovailoa-starting-quarterback

Last I say on this because I don't want to cross over into something that breaks the board rules. You are providing one example. Sure, there are religious people that refuse to wear a mask. But, there are people of all beliefs, race, age, sex, etc. that refuse as well. Many teens and college age adults ignore the mask rules. My daughter got quarantined from school earlier this year because she sat next to a kid in class that was positive. This is high school. The kid would not wear her mask in the classroom because it's only required in common areas and not the classroom. I've seen high school sports fans that take their masks off the second they get through the gate even though the rule is you are supposed to keep it on the entire game, I saw a guy in the grocery the other night with his wife and kid. The guy was not wearing a mask and neither was the kid (who I would put at 7 or 8). Heck, I've got a 90 year old uncle who only ends up in a church for funerals who won't wear a mask. Yes, the BBQ owner may be religious. But, it's unfair to paint a large brush against religion in regards to mask wearing.

I'm not sure religion has anything to do with it. The people I know that are against mask wearing have never set foot in a church in their entire life.

I always wondered why 'no pants' was not part of the no shoes, no shirt message.

I Until a vaccine arrives, I think they should be worn in all public indoor places, and at outdoor events where social distancing is not possible. And, while we are on the subject, it frustrates me when people wear them wrong. I was at the grocery yesterday and saw 3-4 people that had the mask covering their mouth, but not their nose.

He's too busy doing commercials.

It was satellite radio. I'm not sure which station, I flip constantly. Was so stunned it was on the air, I forgot to look to see what station was playing it.
