a victory 27:17 over Washington in the game. That was delayed
by two days because of Washington's covid, outbreak
and Philadelphia. Right now, in the thick of things in the NFC,
Playoff Picture
the next day, he tests positive for covid at that had happened
today earlier the two day delay to accommodate Washington,
would have resulted in Philadelphia not having their
head coach for last night's game. Here's giri oniy from
earlier today talking about the symptoms that he's experiencing
if any from his covid diagnosis.
Yeah, you know, I wasn't wasn't feeling
great this morning when I woke up and
and just got tested, and
obviously, we are where we are right now. I mean, I don't,
I'm feeling I'm feeling okay. I'm feeling a little bit better
now, which is good.
And then the rest of the week I'll be in every meeting as if
obviously virtually as if that, you know,
every single meeting every quarterback meeting every
offensive meeting every team meeting. I'll be running those
and Just business as usual.
I don't know if they've quietly read the riot act to these guys
or whatever the case may be. But I know that the first
reaction when the new protocol was putting place that
in many respects relies on the honor System of raising your
hand and saying, I don't feel too good. I'm surprised that
see Ronnie
came forward unless their symptom checks are far more
rigorous than what I've heard. There's a point where you have
to raise your hand and say, I need to get tested. And
there are plenty of guys who wouldn't and I don't know.
Whether it is a sign of Integrity or a sign of
not not knowing how to work. His way through the weeds to be
available to his team. But he did the right thing
in an environment where I think
far more of the players and coaches and staff are not going
to do the same thing. They're not going to put their hand in
the air and say I can't go forward today.
You know, it really depends on how severe the mild symptoms
are, right because I think for many different people, mild
symptoms means something else. As I have three people, very
close to me who have
tested positive for covid-19 and don't live near me. So
that's good. I'm not really at risk, but they've all
experienced what people would call Mild symptoms over
the course of the last week, but some of that means, you know,
sore throat headache, you know not being
able to taste food. Severe congestion. Justin fever. So,
it could be any number of different things that people
consider mild, but when you're not necessarily getting to go
to the hospital, that's still preventing severe illness and
disease. So it's like,
I don't necessarily know what mile is that, you know, you
could still show outward symptoms without really being
that sick and if you are showing outward symptoms,
I don't know. Mike like if if somebody looks like they're you
know, P kid or something and they're coughing or whatever.
It happens.
To be I'm going to look at them funny. Like bro. You really
ought to get a covid test like I cuz
I don't want to get this thing
because no matter what mild happens to be
and again, taste food for a week. I don't really want that. So,
you know, you know, we can say whether or not a guys are
really going to raise their hand and say oh, yeah,
I probably should go get a test but
I don't know, man.
I don't want this thing and I just feel like if you're in
a building with somebody else in your thinking, like I may have
this Thing. I don't think I want to give it to somebody
else because even if I am vaccinated, even if I am
boosted and the people who have tested positive who are close
to me, are
you still may get something out of this
that word Peak? It is a word from the past. That was one of
the three primary test that my mother would use when I was
a kid to determine whether or not. I was sick

also, checking the tongue for a white coating because

yeah, Merry Christmas getting your temperature checked in
a way that apparently was far more reliable than putting it
under your tongue.
Good Lord. Why did they do that to kids back, then?
Why did they wait so long to develop? Why did they wait so
long to develop the thing where they just put it on your
forehead? The back of the hand, the technology.
It simulates a, I'm telling you, there was nothing more
traumatic when you were 3.
All right.
Let's move on image Roberts, Allah viewers and listeners.
Don't want to, you know, have in their brain. The Jets
head coach and you can never read the damn thing, either
that, that it was like beat the clock to turn it just right. So
you could see where the Mercury was
to get that glimpse of where it was and if it if you waited too
long then it had to be reinserted. All right Roberts
Allah. It's tested positive
for covid-19 time. John me to look we can either be all
serious and foreboding about this or We can try to see some
sort of humor in this mess that we're still living through. And
after two years. I mean
my God, we you know,
I mean we take it seriously
and fortunately the NFL hasn't had any serious cases of
someone dying. Now. There have been some hospitalizations. It
was more last year than this year, but it's a serious
situation. We just hope we get to the point where we get it
behind.
