Gibbs probably won’t be the last opt out. It can happen for a variety of personal reasons especially concerns for close family members. I hope we can all support the players who decide to do so.

This year is going to have a GIANT asterisk anyway. I still don't really think we make it through a full season

We are playing for 2021. Get some young guys experience and recruit a top 10 class. The record is almost useless this year IF we can hang on to this nice class we have

Come on, McGill. It's a personal choice. You can disagree with it without calling it dumb.

We all make dumb moves that are personal choices...I have made hundreds of dumb moves when I was young, and people told me they were dumb moves...and they were right, but I did them anyway.

What is this kid going to do? Is he going to hide in a hole forever?

It is my opinion that this is a dumb shortsighted move, but I really do hope that it works out for the kid, I hope I am wrong...I wish him no ill.

Thanks for the prayers and well wishes. I have been slowly improving since going to ER on Wednesday. I can honestly say that several times I have laid in the floor not really caring if this killed me. It's so weird because my co worker that I am in close contact with on a daily basis has it and his symptoms are so mild. He isn't very healthy and is a large guy. I workout, eat right, drink apple cider vinegar and honey everyday and my symptoms have been horrible. This virus has left me speechless!!!! By the volnation is the BEST!!! I couldn't imagine being a part of another fan base.

I am sorry you are one of the unfortunate ones. I hope I am not, but sooner or later I will find out. I am shocked that I nor my wife have contracted it yet, we are both in healthcare related jobs and we have been in public everyday since this started. We have also been to Gatlinburg a couple of times on busy days plus we just got back a few weeks ago from a two week road trip in which we traveled to seven states..

I believe in it, I just do not want to live in fear of it...it will get to all of us at some point.

Kobe is firmly in the #2 spot
Followed closely by Jackie Moon at #3

Jackie can stay at 3, but Magic trumps Kobe.

For those criticizing the MJ/LBJ debate, I'd rather discuss that over COVID. As sick as you are of the GOAT debate, I'm just as sick of constantly hearing about the Coronavirus. It's already screwed up my reality, I don't need it screwing up my VN life as well.

But that's JMO.

A friend who used to play professional soccer swears by the effects of smoking a Doobie at halftime

Bwaa-ha-ha ! Nah, I've played basketball many times after "smoking a Doobie". Never needed it to calm me down, but it did slow my reaction time, just a little bit

So I'm reading this novel from 1939 The Day of the Locust by Nathaniel West and there is a character named Homer Simpson and sure enough Groening has said that is where he got the name. Just found it crazy as I was reading it last night. Carry on.

Reading a book is becoming a lost art and it’s disheartening.

The kid has just as much chance of death on a football field, and vastly more chance of both short term injury and long lasting health effects from football as he does of dying of Covid. Maybe he is scared for his family? No matter what you do, you are going to face this disease at some point in the future....Is hiding in a hole going to be feasible forever?

Could hide until a viable vaccine is released

You, I and others our age know that. I think as a 18, 19 or 20 year old, they see things differently, and are compulsive in their thinking and decision making. I raised one 🙄, it’s all about the here and now.

I have a 28 year old son that is becoming a mini me, I raised him to be a free thinker, and it’s only taken me 28 years. 😂

My daughter who acted like me growing up is in distress because her son acts like mine. I tried to make her feel better by saying look how good your brother turned out. She looked at me in horror and said....it only took 25 years! Her son is 1.

You can call it fear or whatever but it's his choice. We have all made dumb choices. Just because you've made more than most of us, does not make you an authority.

Just kidding about the last part. I would give you a run for your money with the dumb choices.
