  - Package them for Russell Wilson -- nm - Flavorize Jan 4, 06:48 1
    - I don't think any QB will make this team better. - Krusty Jan 4, 07:00
  - The top 2 picks will likely be DE’s. The kid from Michigan and Oregon. There’s another 1-2 in the back end of the top 10 but there’s likely no value - Will Hunting Jan 4, 06:42 3
    - Of course the teams in front of us don't need a QB so they'll take the guys we need. Ugh!!! We'll draft a CB which we really need but we desperately - Krusty Jan 4, 06:54
    - The kid from Oregon is an absolute monster—would be awesome -- nm - Flavorize Jan 4, 06:49 1

    - That would be nuts -- nm - Volnelk Jan 4, 05:59 5
      - I imagine the NFL would send them both a strongly worded memo advising against it before the game. - the wrong element Jan 4, 06:07 4
        
        But then what happens when they play the game and someone tears their ACL? Not great. -- nm - Volnelk Jan 4, 06:13 3
        
        Let's be real, the Jacksonville win is less likely than these guys playing for a tie. -- nm - Reagen Jan 4, 06:19 1
        
        Even if they get 250 yards rushing and 250 yards passing? -- nm - Dano Jan 4, 06:56

Novak Djokovic will defend Australian Open title after exemption from vaccination -- (link) - Beaker Jan 4, 03:31 17
- Not a Djokovic fan, but as mafic mentioned the process was "anonymous", the panel was from the Department of Health, and he isn't the only exemption. - Dano Jan 4, 06:10 1
  - I wondered the IM as well, but anything identifying was supposed to be removed before either panel saw it. -- nm - mafic Jan 4, 06:23
- Mildly interesting. Exemption process was anonymous, there was no need for him to announce he had an exemption except as a signal that he’s unvaxxed. -- nm - mafic Jan 4, 05:29 4
  - I will throw this out there as a maybe - there is a small possibility that because he had COVID, his doctor advised him against the vaccine. - Dark Callisto Jan 4, 05:37 3
    - There is also a theory that he just had COVID so wouldn't be eligible for the vaccine and could get an exemption that way. -- nm - spamlet Jan 4, 06:31
