Has the Hart always involved the mental gymnastics of trying to figure out of all the individual team MVPs who is the most MVP-y? Or do the writers tend to pick the best player in the league? See the Lindsay Award.

So it turns out there are no FDR voice actors on fiverr. Sorry... I hear the last line in the voice of FDR. I might be approaching end stage coronavirus madness. ESCM.

And that would just be all the coronaries in Buffalo.

I think you might be right. I've noticed declining deaths in NY. Other parts of the country must be picking up the slack. Or #libtardcoroners. I mean, who knows what's REALLY going on?

Is fiverr still around? Oh man have I got the gig of a lifetime. And yeah I'm that bored.

The third paragraph is telling. You've admitted to not being educated about what's going on. And Fauci didn't say that. He said he couldn't guarantee it would be safe by then.

Global pandemics and depressions that come right to my doorstep tend to get my attention.

A lot of people don't seem to want to notice that daily death totals that were supposed to go down a few weeks after the curve got flattened haven't really done so. This week has seen some of the highest daily death counts of the pandemic. That might be because although the spike in cases was stopped and the curve did get flattened, it's been more a high plateau after that. There have bee some noticeable declines in total new cases, but then it shoots back up again. Sort of a roller coaster ride.

A lot of those tests are trash. And that's not even a test for active infection.

I think what's bothering me is the idea that a workforce can consider itself so essential and so privileged that they should be able to move their workplace to a safer area and be assured of testing that even over the summer will not be available to everyone. One of the bidding requirements is that restaurants be available to offer "bubble" service. The NHL entourage and no one else, I assume. This pandemic ripped a bandaid off our society. The NHL seems to be saying... "Yeah we're gross. So what? How are you going to stop us, diseased peasant?"

Uh yeah.

I can't believe you aren't assuming the Sabres are going to hoist the Cup. In September. In Cheyenne.

Neither. Imma lie on my back and get under the seat.

Imma go lick a park bench.

I couldn't. Win a Cup in the middle of a pandemic by making the playoffs when you wouldn't have otherwise, then winning short series on neutral ice with no fans? The prophesy would come true: the Buffalo Sabres would win a Stanley Cup, and I'd still find something to bitch about.

Bob Costas is on CNN now saying that widespread and rapid testing will be the key to sports being able to return. He talks about the public relations disaster (his words) the leagues will suffer if professional athletes are getting tested before everyone in society who needs a test is able to get one. Dr. Birx has said what we need is a testing breakthrough, a rapid and reliable antigen test. Think people lining up to go to work and all being tested and getting results in a matter of minutes.

Thanks.

You said society is stupid. You're part of society. Are you stupid?

(PA lowers his voice to hush) What have you got to lose? Try it.

Very big and very good news on Remdesivir. "We now have the capability" of treating COVID-19, said Dr. Fauci.

Maybe handwashing will survive into the future as a shockingly effective way of reducing infections. Even in hospitals. Imagine a world where healthcare workers wash their hands before putting hands on patients. The docs might even keep (start) doing it!

Yep, everyone's stupid — except us.

I know Ted's son Joel worked for the CBC (as did his father). This has gotta be Joel?

This CBC play by play guy sounds a fair bit like Ted Darling.

I'd kill for a good pizza dough recipe. It seems like I've tried them all with poor to adequate results. Unfortunately all I have is all purpose flour, and I suspect that is the issue.
