20 min Covid Cam
*Cam Newton to miss 5 days of practice because of misunderstanding about a club approved medical trip. Covid tests not conducted at NFL facility.
* Bullshit. Smells fishy.
Good blog on it: https://www.simplemindssports.com/blogs/covid-cam-is-back
* Bill covering?
* Cam an idiot?
* NFL targeting anti Vaxxers?
*Bills plan to get Mac with the 1's?
*How does it affect the QB competition?
- I have a feeling it won't affect it at all
* Bill wants Mac to be "ready" not "better"
*Josh McDaniels. - Cam is the starter now.
*Will the decision to keep Cam in affect the team negatively?
- Covid shit keep coming up?
- Not the Best option
- Special treatment?
- Not taking it seriously enough?
*What do you expect Mac to look like this week vs the Giants?
- Last week with media coverage. Just too perfect for timing.
*Do we need to see more of Agholor or the TE's?
- Are you confident they can step in and contribute with out any pre season?
* Turd in the punch bowl
- 49ers wont name starter.
* Could Kimmy G be back in? If Cam is out?
Thoughts on the 2nd Pre Season Game
*Who looked better?
Cam 8 of 9. 103 yards 1 TD. 88.9% completion 151.4 rating
Mac 13 of 19. 146 yards . 68.4% completion 91.1 rating
- Both went up against scrubs.
* Cam's drive that ended with Myers TD everyone is freaking out over.
- Ted Johnson talked for 4 hours about Max protection.
*Does anyone believe he can do this repeatedly?
* Mac had better throws. Two lasers to Gunner. Still just looks more comfortable
- One passionate youthaniation of N'Keal Harry
*Will we see N'Keal Harry again? How pathetic was that catch attempt?
- Out 4 weeks with shoulder soreness. Buh Bye.
*Did we learn anything about the defense?
- No.
- Chase Winovich doing his best to keep his job. "buying into Belichick ways"
* will he make the team? Should he?
- Harvey Langi was another name that jumped out to the professionals.
*Quinn Nordin.
Woof. When is Folk back?

Williams has played in 113 total games and started only 16 games. In those games, he has averaged 5.7 points and 5.0 rebounds per game.
In 52 games (13 starts), Williams averaged 8.0 points, 6.9 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game while shooting 72.1 percent from the field (with negligible 3-point shooting). Those numbers look even better when you adjust to a per-minute basis, as his 13.9 rebounds per 36 minutes puts him ahead of players like Joel Embiid and Nikola Vucevic.
Williams' 72.1 percent shooting and 71.9 percent true shooting last season would have also put him ahead of every player in the league had he registered enough minutes to qualify. His 20.2 total rebounding rate also puts him smack dab between Rudy Gobert and Deandre Ayton on the leaderboard, while his 8.6 block percentage would put him third in the league.
*Chris Gasper calls it Asset Protection. - I agree.
- You watched Kyrie, Horford, and Haward walk out the door for nothing.
* Next year you would have to let most of your team walk in free agency to clear space.
* In Marcus Smart and Time lord you have contracts with term and will be low money in a year or two.
- Brad Stevens doesn't know yet if Beal is in the bag and how many super star free agents are coming to Boston?
- The path was always a trade. Now if the trade doesn't happen you don't let 2 of your starters walk away for nothing next year.
- That being said if Ime Udoka cant fix the Marcus Smart problem he needs to be dealt by the deadline. Next year latest.
* If Time Lord figures out his injury shit $13 million would be a good contract.

5 min Red Sox Embarrassed
Rangers beat Red Sox 10 - 1
* ERod 3.2 in 5 ER
* 5 errors
* Cora blasted them in post game
Sunday postponed
Monday game -
* Red Sox take the series. Just as I have predicted.
Good blg here: https://www.simplemindssports.com/blogs/the-red-sox-are-thriving
DId you know the Red sox have a GM not named Chaim Bloom?
Brian O'Halloran
- It's on the front office if the team doesn't make the playoffs
* has this management learned a lesson? Honestly? Was this a big giant terrible learning experience for a Young Chaim Bloom. Is he regretting it?
- YES. He got butt fucked by his biggest rival and his team dieing
- NO. His farm system is sick now and he has 10 hypothetical World Series already won.
