Fauci has been studying science since college in 1957. He has been the country’s infectious-disease leader since 1984. Yet many who have “studied” this virus for 10 weeks feel it fair and righteous to call him a fraud and believe media screamers. - We need to trust scientists.

The truth is, we do not have the will as a country to make the relatively tiny sacrifices (masks, no huge gatherings) to make this pandemic go away. That is why we just passed 5 million cases. That is why we can't resume normal lives.

Ten 22, KC 21: In the last 48 minutes, the NFL rushing champion had five carries. Reid and Nagy have some explaining to do. Lots of explaining.

America’s with you, Emma Gonzalez. At least the part of America with a collective conscience.

Good luck to @MikeMayock in his job with the Raiders. Every time I called, he answered. Every time I asked for help on college players, he answered. Every time I wanted him for a podcast or column, he said yes. He's been a fountain of vital information. Thanks, Mike. Best to you.

Nobody asked me but ... @danorlovsky7 is a rising-star NFL analyst, and rightfully so. He's admitted he erred with how he commented on Fields last week. It's a mistake, not a mortal sin. It doesn't affect how I'll view him in the future, which is as an insightful football voice.

I love people who say it’s not the time or place to rattle the status-quo-keepers. The time is the day after 19 elementary-school students were murdered. The place is Texas. When, precisely, would be a better time and place, sir?

Why? To encourage lying? Meyer is saying what every coach, in the league is thinking. Say there's tight competition between 2 players for the 48th spot on the roster. One is vaxxed, one adamantly anti-vax. To NOT consider the vax status, regardless of NFL rules, is irresponsible.

The #Jaguars really need some kind of control system to keep their coach from saying things he shouldnt.
