Hello and welcome to the Weekside Podcast I'm Jenny Rentis. Connor Orr is in New Jersey. We are both

self-isolated in our homes. A lot has changed Connor since the last time we did this

podcast just one week ago. The entire world has changed. Everyone is at

homes laying low hopefully except for the spring breakers in Florida

which for the record we do not advocate that behavior but yes it's crazy how much

has changed in one week the other but the one of the only things that has not changed

however is that the NFL forged ahead with business as usual. I was definitely

against that move. I know that some people have appreciated the distraction this week. I understand that

perspective but I think logistically it has proved to be a challenge we see that

you know as of Thursday afternoon the Tom Brady deal was kind of hung up a little bit on where he'd get his physical.

I think the idea that doctors would be doing physicals for NFL players when they certainly

have other pressing health care needs doesn't make a lot of sense.

I think the precedent set by the NFL, you know, this major entertainment

institution in our country that hey it doesn't affect us it's not our problem.

It's a dangerous precedent to set to move forward with things that are neither essential nor urgent in this current climate

I think is just a pretty bad message and furthermore I think there's a lot of people who are under different

strains right now. Maybe you have kids who are at home and you know trying to keep

them on track with their school work. Maybe as many of us do, you have elderly relatives or older relatives who you want to make

sure are taking the proper precautions.

I mean, I spent Sunday afternoon talking my dad out of going to a dentist dental cleaning on Monday morning.

So you know I think there's this a lot of people who have priorities elsewhere that you want to make sure your

families are taking care of.
