January 5, 20214 yr ah, ok so that would be over after saturday, right? i guess that means they are good to play sunday night. another question -- wouldn't we know the steelers covid results by now too? now i wonder about that.

Anyone who may have contracted the virus on Sunday likely wouldn't test positive yet.
January 5, 20214 yr oh right, if others test positive between now and then, the exposure zone or whatever would go forward from those dates. what a bizzare, unwinding mess. as with the whole country and world for that matter.
January 5, 20214 yr while it does not explicitly say so, we can assume pitts has no covid, at least so far, via these statements from tomlin: https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/mike-tomlin-says-steelers-playoff-preparation-for-browns-wont-be-altered-by-clevelands-new-covid-19-outbreak/
January 5, 20214 yr There will be more positives this week, no doubt. This was under 36 hours after the game Sunday. I would expect positives on both sides. Can’t you be an asymptomatic spreader before testing positive? I’m no doctor but I thought that is how that works.

January 5, 20214 yr The NFL should be moving all these teams to a bubble in one city for the rest of the playoffs. But they won't because it isn't manly and goes against the politics of NFL owners.

Though, your point is well taken At least an indoor stadium like Dallas kind of neutralizes weather for all teams, and if they conducted a bubble properly would eliminate all the players missing due to COVID. Whoever makes it through this playoff series may have a Superbowl championship with an ** attached due to shorthanded teams.

January 7, 20214 yr I got busted by Geauga County sheriff with a very small amount of weed in my car in the late 90s. The sheriff dumped the baggy and sent us on our way. This is anecdotal but I assume law enforcement has gotten more relaxed since then.

" ========================= Anyone know if Westlake police (or Cleveland-area police more generally) are actually sincere about this across the board or are more--selective--when dealing with possible violators? Lol - anecdotal again - but 10 days after I graduated high school, me and three of my friends were caught with a case of beer and about 15 empties in a trash bag in the trunk on our way to a sand volleyball game. We had a DD, but we were still underage... When we were all out of the car (North Royalton) the police found out we were all going to play college football (one of my friends was going to Notre Dame and another to OSU), and the tone of the whole thing changed. We were cuffed, put on the side of the road, and an officer (7 officers at the scene at this point) - an officer walked up to us and said: "Okay guys, level with us... whose marijuana is in the center counsel?" *We had no weed on us and all said there shouldn't be any weed in the car* He then says "c'mon guys - we're going to search the rest of the car how much more weed are we going to find? Wouldn't want this turning into a felony level situation?" Again we all said we had no clue how any weed got in the car. The officer then goes (and burned into my mind) - "okay yeah there's no weed. have your DD take you home, we took the alcohol." and we each got cited with underage consumption and possession - they even gave the DD possession. My point is - I think they would be likely to be MORE, not less critical of Rashad Higgins and J Wills, rather than less.

Hmm. That's a tough one. If they were both going to Notre Dame, I'd say throw the book at them, but if they were both going to OSU, I'd say send them on their way and let them keep the beer. The 1-1 split makes things much more complicated.

Much harder to imagine the defense holding up when it counts in a tight game vs Ben. Also the Steelers were beneficiaries of several questionable calls vs the Colts. Here’s hoping the refs aren’t quite so influential on Sunday night.

January 8, 20214 yr Did anything ever happen because of that stupid TikTok dance thing? Mike Tomlin: NFL has contacted Steelers about players not wearing masks in postgame dance video https://triblive.com/sports/mike-tomlin-nfl-has-contacted-steelers-about-players-not-wearing-masks-in-postgame-dance-video/
January 11, 20214 yr welp you cant have a better start to this game than the first play just now lol. lets hope its a sign.
January 11, 20214 yr hey maybe it is a sign — an interception and another quick browns td. oh lord dont give me hope lol. of course, this is browns luck, even if they win they get the gift of kc next week (pitts would get the bills).
January 11, 20214 yr they just out muscled pitts front o line and forced a punt. its immediately good to have harrison back he was the stopper. this is the first chance to see anything of these teams, what a crazy start to the game. not complaining tho lol.
January 11, 20214 yr holy schmokes what the heck is going on here? browns rip off long run after run and bazinga third td.
January 11, 20214 yr another interception by da brownies wat da heck is going on here? deez boyz crazy!!
January 11, 20214 yr ^ yeah the announcers mentioned that and i was like heck yeah immediately! so another masterful march right down the field and yet another browns td before halftime. this is just the kind of mindless distraction i need right now!
January 11, 20214 yr i forgot i had posted browns 55 steelers 3 joking around on another forum a couple weeks ago and somebody pulled it back up and said you’re in play lol.
January 11, 20214 yr ^ lol ive never been so shocked in my life by the browns, even with all their dramatic well-monikered infamous big game losses. this surely did not hurt to fire them up - wow: https://twitter.com/Browns/status/1348421029916520451?s=20

January 11, 20214 yr Kevin Stefanski just lost coach of the year last night and should be due a paycut. He barely beat the Steelers last week at home when they played their reserves. His assistant took them to the woodshed last night when Cleveland was down their starters. FIRE STEFANSKI!!! :) :) (yes, i am kidding of course)

January 11, 20214 yr The Browns spent 18 years trying to be the smartest person in the room. Now they finally are the smartest person in the room. All those Ivy league degrees, good communication, organization, detail focus is why they are so successful. What an incredible job that Stefanski didnt feel sorry for himself for a second, they made best use of every minute they had last week to prepare and they came up with a plan that worked. Hot take, that first play fumble was a gift for energy and impact in game. Im not sure what that game looks like without that play

Im not sure what that game looks like without that play As a teammate - I would've dogged Ben out on the sideline for that. He refused to dive on the fumble and cost them team 7 versus 2 or even 0. That's a coward and not someone I want leading the team. I'm not asking him to block, or even make tackles on INTs.... but you've gotta dive on fumbles.
