Yet even as recently as Sunday he claims it is "under control" and he and his supporters did, without question, deny its seriousness and claim it was politically motivated by their usual suspects, Democrats and the 'liberal media", a creature I have yet to discover.

Well, to be the skeptic again: in private business if you get HR involved it is about impossible to "run anybody off". Right or wrong, the presumption that private industry gets it right is just wrong. Besides which, government isn't a business and can't be run like it. I have matched my civil...

And 1.4% of a billion is ...

And before it goes off the rails as it will, this has been a thread that states opinions while not calling names or engaging in raging partisanship. I have actually enjoyed reading the views I might disagree with. And my BP didn't spike.

Finally somebody stands up for civil servants. We forget: they are us.

We all want "smaller government". Your government. My government? Not so much.

That is absurd beyond even cultish belief. Any vaccine must be vetted and tested or it might kill more than a virus. It must be approved for U.S. use and even Trump cannot order it distributed. That is Trump the reality tv host strutting about.

OK, OK. "Equivalency" now falsely applies to life and death health decisions. One has nothing to do with the other. I read some local doctors brush it off, but when NHS and CDC specialists issue stark warnings, it is time to listen. It is their profession, and unlike a certain someone I trust...

We desperately need some football but will probably wait 'til next year.

I have to say that the NCAA, an otherwise worthless conglomeration of important people from somewhere, I know not, finally got something right without threats of lawsuits when it gave athletes of canceled spring sports another year of eligibility. They might have to do it for every sport. Our...

Had not really thought about it that way, but even if it could be held it would seem to require canceling one or more tour events and I doubt even for the Masters would they accede. The sports landscape is turned upside down and I am not even counting on a college football season given this...

The coronavirus would not dare invade hallowed Augusta National. Would it?

OK, OK. I was picking at you, as in moving physical goalposts. For all I know you were the guy who moved the goalposts eight inches toward Buttker on that 53.5 yard field goal kick.

You didn't think I saw you, did you?

Matter of fact, that is what a "fan" is. Guilty. And also guilty that I am too lazy to even attempt any research into your assertions, but a fading memory recalls some optimism that this "new", "pro style" offense would win short and long-term. I don't recall such despair as you describe at all...

Well, suddenly we find that by winning three GT met expectations. Nah. We just moved the goal posts. I am reminded of Mel Brooks as Moses, with his "15, 15 ...a stone tablet crashes .. 10! 10 Commandments!" (It is much funnier on film I admit.) I am not a paid predictor but I thought we should...

I am always wary of absolutes. "We all knew." "Everybody." "It was clear to everybody." And then there is the "No one". You know this how? I would bet the ranch at least one person in America who "works in the business" -- an odd way to acknowledge the real role of college football -- thought...

I think it is too soon to judge him, but given that there are five conferences considered to be the toughest in the land, I think it provides a reasonable basis for judgment. Just as I would think going from HS coach to college coach would be a basis. There is a difference in size, speed...

anybody who says he has never done something like that is a liar and probably a Georgia graduate.

All we can do is, as they say, wait and see. Just a different offense should improve recruiting. Johnson was never going to attract the great running backs or wide receivers. He just had a different offense. He managed to get some receivers and develop them, and servieable "B backs" but no blue...
