...the Bears are announcing number of tests, positives (none), and isolations (none today) every day.
They don't have to. Not mandated by the league, but they and some other teams are providing the #s every day.
I'm hoping this is an indicator that they're taking COVID seriously & caring about player health.

But that is okay... The Kansas City Chiefs can just stay Super Bowl Champions for another year whether they play or not.

or something. I don't really know what they are doing because I really do not like football BUT and this is a big BUT I adore Patrick Mahomes. Watching him is like watching Roger Federer or anyone who is just nearly flawless and creative when they play. I only watch when he is on field. My husband and son who is with us for a while will cheer the entire game, my son lives in KC and my husband is from KC and we live 65 miles or so from KC.

Mahomes is just so fun to watch. He seems like a nice kid. I say kid, he is not and the house he owns could buy my whole farm but he still seems like a great guy.

So excuse me for my big BUT but I am a fan girl of PM, the Chiefs? Not at all.

Y'all enjoy the game. I hope they are all safe.

All the things Russ has done for kids in hospitals in Seattle. Even after program ended he still goes on his own.

My hubby is Chiefs fan and so I was for them in super bowl.

At my age all I want to do is pinch his adorable cheeks. If he were a major shithead I would drop it immediately but so far he just seems almost too good to be true. I suppose pinch his cheeks and feed him. Ahhh the benefit of being an old lady.

I will have to check out Aaron Rodgers. I know nothing about this sport, well I do know all about it growing up in a male sports oriented family but I do not know teams. It is nice to feel positive things about some of the players. Some of them I am really iffy about. Oh well. I am sure he will play well tonight and I will get my "grandma" bug going. I swear I want to make him something. LOL!!!

My little brother grew up a Packers fan. I don't know now, he is damaged so I do not know if he even has a TV to watch on. Anyway, isn't that where Bart Star played? His toys were always named after his favorite players. See, there IS more to football than macho grunting and smashing!

plus he's very smart, good personality, and he's a liberal.

His mother was apparently a dancer, and you can see it in his footwork.

a pitcher for the Mets I think. Patrick is also a baseball player and he did that before he decided to go with football. He is all that you said and more. Almost like a perfect storm.

But my company's home office is near DC and that's what everyone there calls the team. Last season in particular.
