General Sub Concerns

Since the Hopkins trade news broke, we've been inundated with reaction posts, fire BoB rants, change.org links, memes of various quality, Dear BoB I'm Leaving letters, and don't skip the "[insert team] fan coming in peace" humble-brag s**t-posts.

Usually we would remove a lot of these "F-BoB" posts, not because we disagree with them, but they are duplicates of others, gaining no traction, most have a few upvotes and one or two comments. It clutters the sub and dilutes the conversation.

Please do not think we are sympathizing with BoB on this if we remove your post, it's just an effort to keep the sub running smoothly.

Small Rant to get it out of my system…

If the Texans have success going forward, it's not due to anything BoB has done, it's in spite of it. Trading Hopkins might have been necessary going forward for the Texans (he had 3 years left but no guaranteed money on his contract / rumor states he wanted at least $20M a year, mostly guaranteed on a long deal.) So trading Hopkins might have been necessary? but trading Hopkins for a 2nd round pick is just laughably inept. David Johnson is someone you pick up off waivers, not feature in a blockbuster trade. I have so much more empathy for how the Mom felt in Jack and the Beanstalk now.

At least we have the draft to look forward to

Baseball opening day was March 26, now uncertain. NBA is still on hiatus, I think they're still discussing some sort of make-shift playoffs for this year? It's up in the air.

The NFL Draft is about the only sports-related event on the calendar anytime soon.

In the past, we've had draft prediction contest. The buzz for that seems dim here, so I was going to skip it this year; however, considering it's about all that's going on right now, if enough people want it, we can still do it.

In the end, it's just a game

Hope everyone is doing well. We are experiencing a life-time event, we'll look back on this later and wonder what the heck was up with people hoarding all the toilet-paper? (We've been strongly told that we are not allowed to take toilet paper home from work; joke's on them, I only poop at the office). I remember in 1999 when people were seriously predicting the end of the world, and were hoarding toilet paper; I was genuinely confused: If we're all going to die, why do we need TP? People are weird. I just want to play Animal Crossing in peace and hopefully be able to wipe myself if the need arises.
