I just finished getting caught up watching one of my favorite shows, NCIS(yeah I know a lot of you will scoff) but their latest episode which I believe aired the 14th is entitled "The Arizona". It is a very poignant story with a very touching ending. Whether you're a fan of the show or not, I encourage ya'll to watch it.

Also, after this covid mess is cleaned up we need to burn this thread. There's a lot here that just needs to be incinerated and swept under the rug.

I am all for burning it now. This use to be a place to come and get away from the cares of the world. Now it is like CNN with all kinds of information and you can't tell who is telling the truth.

I recall a conversation I was having several years ago with the construction superintendent on one of the projects in my career. He was a good guy and I liked working with him. He was also very sharp, conscientious, and reliable. The men and women who worked for him had a lot of respect for him as well.

Anyway, so my job is to monitor his project and tell him where he’s screwing up from an earned value standpoint. I’d go over the project’s performance numbers with him once a week and our numbers always looked good. You see I knew how to do that and I was one of the best at it. My numbers were never wrong and no one anywhere doubted my numbers. They came directly from databases that I had no input to.

So the construction guy and his craft coordinators were getting all kinds of compliments from senior management in their organization for the incredible performance of their project. The truth was we were doing good but we ran into the same sort of problems every other capital project ever executed runs into. But I knew how to make the project look good and I did. It’s all in the presentation and it was not wrong, not in the least.

The superintendent knew what I was doing and he wasn’t opposed but he’d kid me about it at times. It’s extremely important to note that my reports were completely accurate and I told him that. It was all based on the data collected by other departments within the corporation. That’s the first time I remember hearing the expression, and it came from him directed at me, “Figures don’t lie but liars figure.”

This is the leading causes of death in the US for the year 2017. The present virus moved up to what would be #10 on this list yesterday, but, and you can take it from me, that’s a lie. I’m not sure why we’re fudging the numbers but I have no doubt there’s a reason and it probably involves not just politics but, more importantly, an amazing amount of future taxpayer money. jmo.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs is one of my favorite characters on TV. And, I agree, that episode was terrific.

The LA report is flawed, but it does have value. I will be staying home a good bit because I have family members who are high risk. I have been working and I am all for everyone getting back to work and taking care to comply with the guidelines as much as practical.

Sounds like a good plan. My next door neighbor is 60 years old, high risk medically, and is one of the 33 in Sevier County who had it and recovered. He was totally unaware. Had shortness of breath and felt like he had a bad cold. Finally gave up and went to the doc after doing a tele-doc a couple of weeks before. They tested him positive. Self quarantined. He had it, which meant his wife has it in her system. Everywhere they have been before the diagnosis has been exposed. We had similar respiratory issues during the same period as did his neighbor on the other side. Again, I will take an antigen/antibody test with my physical to see if I had it. If I had it, so did my wife. If we had it so did our son-in-law and daughter who had similar respiratory problems during the period. It goes on and on and on. The time frame was January - February - mid March. January/February exposure was not even on the radar of the "experts". But my neighbor became ill during mid February. He got the diagnosis later in March.

All reports and studies are flawed in some manner depending on the perspective of the reader. No doubt we should use good sense in going about our lives like we should do when any contagious disease is present. However, herd immunity is real and those discounting it have agendas. There will be ample evidence of the best ways to handle these type events going forward from the worldwide exposure and resulting methods employed to counter it by all countries.

It's hard for me to get very excited at all regarding recruiting right now. It's like Coach Mathews and Tony Barnhart were discussing Sat. morning about verbal commitments right now under the current situation. They basically both said any players currently "commited could be taken with a grain of salt and didn't mean jack squat, regardless of school. I tend to agree.

I guess it depends on the player. If i were Nc I wouldn’t feel confident about keeping all those guys. If this one happens, I guarantee you you’ll be excited

Titans will probably pick a CB in the first round. Logan Ryan is gone and they have a need there. I agree with The Athletic's Glennon and Rexrode - TCU's Gladney or LSU's Fulton. Glennon has Quez going as the #224 pick to the Titans, which I would love. He's a 7th rounder or UFA. The receiver draft is really, really deep this year.

WalterFootball has JJ going 4-6th rounds. They have Taylor going 3-5th rounds, Warrior is UFA - not even in their top 40 for the position.

Burrow all day, every day. Ready to go as a rookie.

Tua needs to sit a year or two to heal and learn. He holds the ball too long trying to make the big play.

Here’s an interesting thought....

All programs have some back door recruit support staff (ahem)

Depending on where their finances are tied up during this pandemic, loss of income, and even the order (and failure or success) of opening up states... this is going to have an impact on recruiting we will never know about outside of the NSD results.

For example, let’s just say 75% of Florida’s money guys are instate, and the pandemic was drawn out there longer than other places, there would be loss of resources to share with recruits but if Georgia and Tennessee open up first, and their money guys are theoretically within those borders, they would have an advantage
