Not sure how many players yet but this could be huge with a game coming up Thursday against NO.

I noted this last week as a reason to bet Raiders. I said half the team probably has covid and they would not be at full capacity.Comment -
Good point. I think people take for granted how much Covid takes out of a team, much more than the flu. Players are obviously much more worn down. Joel Embiid just came back after almost a month out and he said he was touch and go, didn't think he was going to live. That's serious. I hope everyone with the Cowboys are okay but this might be a good time to take New Orleans. I just bet them for the game and the first half.Comment -
It’s stupid to keep testing these players or anyone else if they are not showing symptoms, what about the 75,000 fans at the game, they are not being testedComment -
Oh no!
Do you think they'll all live???
Give me a fuckin break with this bullshitComment -
You heard it here first: Joel Embiid, a vaccinated, world class athlete in the greatest shape of his life.... Thought he was gonna die of COVID. Yeah right lolComment -
Maybe you heard it hear first. Embiid has been all over the news saying he thought he was going to die.

Minnesota big man Karl-Anthony Towns, who got into a fight with Embiid during a game a little over two years ago for which both players were ejected and suspended, said afterward that he was glad to see Embiid healthy again.
"That's bigger than basketball," said Towns, whose mother Jacqueline died of complications from COVID in April 2020. "I've seen people die from that."

So I'm just thankful to be sitting here. I struggled with it, but I'm just glad that I got over it and I'm here doing what I love with some good people."

Unfortunately not... Here's just a few.
The University of North Carolina system reported its first coronavirus-related student death on Tuesday since several campuses reopened with at least partial in-person learning last month. Chad Dorrill, a 19-year student at Appalachian State University who his mother and former coach described as a "super healthy" athlete, died on Monday due to coronavirus complications, officials said.
"Any loss of life is a tragedy, but the grief cuts especially deep as we mourn a young man who had so much life ahead," said a statement from Peter Hans, president of the system overseeing the state's 16 public colleges and universities. "I ache for the profound sadness that Chad Dorrill's family is enduring right now. My heart goes out to the entire Appalachian State community."
Dorrill was a graduate of Ledford High School in Thomasvile, CBS affiliate WFMY-TV reports. His former high school coach, Jason Anderson, told the station it's hard to come to terms with Dorrill's death.
The Piedmont Pacers, a travel basketball team that Chad Dorrill played on, said Dorrill was their all-time leading scorer and member of the 2018 USSSA National Championship team.
Dorrill's mother released a statement though the team. "The doctors said that Chad is the rarest 1-10,000,000 case but if it can happen to a super healthy 19-year old boy who doesn't smoke, vape or do drugs, it can happen to anyone," Susan Dorrill said, according to WFMY.

FREEPORT, Texas (KTRK) -- LaWayne Ross, a 24-year-old former collegiate tight end and aspiring rapper, has died after battling COVID-19, according to his mother.

More athletes have died by suicide than covid
What a fuckin scamComment -
COVID has definitely made it tougher for athletes to come back if they get it hard
More people are getting sick nowComment -
Why must it be a scam? Yes, athletes are dying from suicide. Shouldn't we try to stop that as well?

You're not trying to stop Covid deaths in the slightest. You are all over the board celebrating them every single day. Fact.Why must it be a scam? Yes, athletes are dying from suicide. Shouldn't we try to stop that as well?

Was Embiid even in the hospital?Comment -
and i think every NFL team with covid issues won thier games
one team thier HC didnt travel with them and THEY won on The Road
Cowboys won with COVID issues players OUTComment -
Guys stick to the gambling perspective. This is not time to argue about covid and testing of pros.
In my opinion it benefits the gamblers to have the players tested so we can know if a team is being not at full capacity and bet accordingly.
Like I said on Thursday bet the Raiders because you don't know how many Cowboys players are sick and not testing positive. Yes covid doesn't kill but in terms of diminished production on the field you can't deny that players who have it and play are not playing 100%.Comment -
Who cares. Everything is covid. I bet they all will survive.Comment -
If you know anything about the Dallas Cowboys, you know that once they have an excuse to roll over,
their season is mailed in.Comment -
It’s deadly we do know thatComment -
You were warned Vaccines are NEITHER SAFE NOR EFFECTIVE. Why this country was put through this total DISASTER is beyond me. The NFL handled this in the worst way possible. Trying to FORCE Healthy Athletes to get vaccinated ? What a shhit show. Aaron Rodgers and many other proven right.Comment -
