Disgusting post,.

I mean, at a surface level he's not wrong. Everything bad about Oz and why he was a bad choice even as a guest host had nothing to do with his ability to actually host.

I wonder if it's reasonable to assume at this point that the only reason he took the EP jobs for Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune is because he knew he could try and force his way in as the host of one of them eventually.

Turns out it wasn't actually an emergency, and he's just an asshole!

(No big shock there)

Richards stepped up to the lectern after the last of Trebeks episodes and six weeks with 74-time champion Ken Jennings as the inaugural guest host. Richards told numerous media outlets, including The Ringer, that his presence was a last-minute decision: The intended host had fallen through, he said, leaving him just days to prepare. I was never meant to be a part of that process, he later told Broadcasting + Cable. Audiences warmed to what was widely viewed as the-show-must-go-on panache, an echo of the departed host of more than 36 years.

But two sources close to Jeopardy! tell The Ringer that thats not an accurate depiction of how Richards came to host. Instead, a planned host had a minor conflict during one of the shows upcoming tape days. Jeopardy! staff and crew told the host that they could work around itonly for Richards to step in and insist on hosting himself, according to the sources, one of whom described feeling surprised that Richards characterized his presence onstage as an emergency substitution. Contestants present during Richardss resulting host stint recall the executive producer as pleasant and occasionally apologetic as he prepared to tape, at one point taking over the traditional off-camera player practice round, usually conducted by the Clue Crews Jimmy McGuire, to get more practice hosting. But the rescheduling incident, and Richardss public explanations after the fact, raised some eyebrows internally. A spokesperson at Sony Pictures Entertainment, the parent studio of Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune, declined to comment.

Oh yeah I know.

I guess I was referring more to not being able to bet huge on the first DJ. He hit it on the second clue yesterday so he was only able to bet $1k, but still managed to finish the Jeopardy round with over $10k lmao.

TopicKirk Cousins fired by hometown hospital as spokesperson over COVID remarks

Holland Hospital has ended a relationship Holland native and Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins over his comments this week related to COVID-19.

Cousins said this week he has no plans to get the COVID-19 vaccine, which has frustrated his coach and others, according to CBS Sports. Hospital videos featuring him date back to 2017. WHTC has asked him for a response to the hospitals decision.

There was no money exchanged as part of the sponsorship agreement, according to hospital officials.

Holland Hospital issued the following statement on Friday afternoon:

As the trusted health care leader along the lakeshore, we are committed to providing accurate, timely health information and guidance based on guidelines from the CDC and medical experts.

While we acknowledge that each person is entitled to their own viewpoints, those who speak on our behalf must support messages that align with the hospitals position on matters of vital importance to individual and community health.

For this reason, Holland Hospital will discontinue using Kirk Cousins as our spokesperson for now. We are proud of our association with Kirk. He embodies many values we respect and share as part of our work culture.

However, we must be certain that our communications about COVID vaccination are consistent and unequivocal.

The clear recommendation from the CDC and leading medical experts is that the COVID vaccine is safe, effective and the best defense against becoming infected with the virus. Evidence also indicates that vaccinated individuals may be less likely to carry and transmit the virus to others including children, family members and friends.

For these reasons, Holland Hospital has and will continue to strongly recommend the COVID vaccine to those who are eligible to receive it. It is important that Holland Hospital maintain the trusted reputation we have earned for providing consistent, truthful information and evidence-based health care guidance.

The first tweet in the OP makes it sound like he's high risk and that's why he's not getting the vaccine, because he isn't sure how it would effect him; but the other tweets don't give off that impression.

I haven't been following it at all, so does he have a medical reason that he can't get it, or is he just being a dumbfuck?

He's an absolute dumbfuck right-wing nutbag

She isn't even the oldest on the team. I don't think the issue is woke-ness but perhaps rather the stardom of the older members of the team.

The players on the women's teams being old isn't really weird, I think the main concern is if the younger players are actually any good and the fact that other countries are starting to catch up (which the US is also seeing in other sports like men's basketball).

Christine Sinclair is 38.

Formiga is 43!

The real reason is probably to get even more data to sell to advertisers.

"This person takes a lot of pictures of birds. We can target bird seed and camera ads to them."

Getting the FBI to get off their backs is just a bonus no doubt.

Apple doesn't sell data to advertisers though.

They already do this in a way.

If you have an iPhone open your "Photos" app. Go to the Search tab. Look at the categories.

"Animal"
"Dogs"
"Snow"
"Cars"
"Cats"

I literally have a category called "Dinosaurs" of photos I took at the Royal Tyrrell Museum a couple years ago.

What the plan is here is to use this to detect cp and then have that photo sent off and reviewed by someone that isn't you.

This decision is fucking trash and in no way should actually roll out, but technology-wise it's not as big of a step up from what's already there.

https://zonecoverage.com/2021/minnesota-vikings-news/mike-zimmer-reveals-kirk-cousins-doesnt-believe-in-protocols/

But then Zimmer dropped an incredibly interesting nugget.

Barreiro asked:

Have you had any conversations directly just with Kirk On this thing?

To which a somewhat exasperated Zimmer replied:

Not really, I havent talked to him not about whether he should or shouldnt get vaccinated Ive talked to him about some of the protocols which he doesnt believe in

Zimmer went on to say his response to that is Kirk should be talking to the leagues and his own doctors, but doesnt believe in could be a big deal.

To this point Kirk Cousins has been completely reluctant to discuss his thoughts on the vaccines or his personal vaccine situation, but going into last week we dont need to ring up Sherlock Holmes to figure out Kirk was not interested. As we all heard last year: if he dies, he dies right?

Kellon Monds exposure confirmed Kirks unvaccinated status but what Zimmer said on radio goes much further into unwrapping Kirks thoughts on Covid. It doesnt just end at vaccine hesitancy, or frustration with the league, its that he doesnt believe in the protocols. Thats a hell of a situation to find yourself in as a head coach. Arguably the most important player on your team in arguably the most important year of your career (Vegas has high first-coach fired odds) is not only going to make things more difficult for you, but he doesnt believe in the protocols that the NFLs doctors have set forth.

Now Im sure regardless of that belief Kirk Cousins will do whats best for the team in terms of the protocols set forth by the league. It would be absurd to imagine that we have some sort of Cole Beasley situation on our hands. But if Kirks beliefs or behaviors in any way shape or form cost this team wins this year, the most divisive athlete in Minnesota history will take that title to a whole new level.


This just keeps getting better and better
