Honestly, at this point, it feels like we’re just going in circles. Around and around we go with the news dealing with the coronavirus pandemic.
Some football teams handle the situation like pros and others allow their teams to get decimated. There’s no consistency, there’s no continuity and it’s just never ending swings of momentum and chaos.
At least we now know what the Big 10, SEC, PAC-12 and ACC are all planning on. Oh, wait! No, we don’t! The Big 10 might not play after all!
Some Big Ten intel, via multiple sources: League has advised members it still might not play this fall. Decision on whether to start camp on time will be made in next five days, but with testing protocols in place that is the expectation. Schedule release is TBD, fluid situation. — Pat Forde (@ByPatForde) July 31, 2020

The Miami Marlins 2020 season at least temporarily, has been paused. This will allow the team to continue to monitor health and safety of players. — Craig Mish (@CraigMish) July 28, 2020

Now, the Bucs have gone out and added McCoy to the backfield at an absurdly cheap price. There are so many weapons on the field that this is starting to resemble WWII.
If you’re a fan of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, then you have to love what you’re seeing out of the organization.

The Bucs went and got Brady, and now they’ve loaded him up. It’s going to be a ton of fun to see what the six-time Super Bowl champ and company do during the 2020 season.

Republican Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan grilled White House coronavirus task force member Dr. Anthony Fauci on Friday during a House subcommittee hearing on coronavirus.
Jordan used his five minutes of questioning to press the doctor on whether ongoing protests and demonstrations sparked by the death of George Floyd should be banned as a potential path for the spread of coronavirus, but Fauci repeatedly refused to answer directly.
“Dr. Fauci, do protests increase the spread of the virus?” Jordan asked.
WATCH:
“Crowding together particularly when you’re not wearing a mask contributes to the spread of the virus,” Fauci responded, adding that he wasn’t “in a position to determine what the government can do in a forceful way” when asked whether protests should be limited.
“I’m not favoring anybody over anybody,” Fauci said when pressed by Jordan about church services being banned in places. “I’m just making a statement that’s a broad statement, that avoid crowds of any type, no matter where you are, because that leads to the acquisition and transmission. And I don’t judge one crowd versus another crowd. When you’re in a crowd, particularly if you’re not wearing a mask, that induces the spread.”
“There’s been no violence I can see at church. I haven’t seen people during a church service go out and harm police officers or burn buildings, but we know that for 63 days, nine weeks, it’s been happening in Portland,” Jordan said. “One night in Chicago 49 officers were injured, but no limits to protests but boy, you can’t go to church on Sunday.”
“I don’t know how many times I can answer that,” the doctor responded. “I’m not going to opine on limiting anything.”
The two continued to go back and forth with Jordan pointing out what he considers an “inconsistency” between the treatment of the two actions and Fauci denying it.
