The Tampa Bay Times reports that Tampa WR Antonio Brown obtained a fake COVID-19 vaccination card to avoid NFL protocols.
The lesson from this for Brown, a lesson he has repeatedly failed to learn, should probably be: Remember to pay money to the people you owe money to. This was reportedly leaked by a former personal chef. It's unclear what -- if any -- fallout Brown will face from the NFL and/or his team for this. But it's press that the team did not need and it flies in the face of Bruce Arians' claim that the team was 100% vaccinated.
EXCLUSIVE: Bucs receiver Antonio Brown obtained a fake COVID-19 vaccination card to avoid NFL protocols, according to his former live-in chef.

Does your imagination count as the media?
Are the advertising rates economical for the amount of folks it will reach? [Reply]

It's not a ridiculous assertion. Everyone single person in my office knew about Aaron Rodgers lying about a vaccine. Only 1 knew about Riggs. [Reply]

Seriously? Is your office under a rock? It was all over the news the morning it happened. EVERYONE in my office saw it. It was all we talked about. [Reply]

I listen mostly to Sirius NFL radio. I know that when I've heard them talking about Watson or Ruggs, that it was always, that this was unfortunate. That the legal process would have to take place, and then they move on to the next story until another piece of news comes along about it. But with the COVID cases, it's always outrage and demands that there should be a stiff penalty. And it's every time that I turn on the radio. They just won't shut up about it. As far as I'm concerned, Brown and Rodgers are not even newsworthy stories. [Reply]

And if you want some more evidence of media suppression, when you google "Henry Riggs" some asshole named Henry Ruggs pops up instead. [Reply]

Is there an overall database for the covid vaccine? I know when I went to the VA for my second dose, I forgot my card, and they were able to look me up and find the record of my first dose. But, that could have just been a localized database.
I don't think there's a national database but the vax lot number is written on your card and that would be trivial information for the manufacturer to look up [Reply]

Maybe they talk more about the less serious shit because it would not be worthwhile listening for them to devote a lot of time talking about shit that everybody knows is wrong and has more serious consequences.
If it is a football show while the season is going on, why would they talk much about guys that are not playing? [Reply]

Yeah, but those things both happened 601 years ago before the Earth existed so how could they care about it? [Reply]
