Tick tock, let’s go! Hitting the news was a report by Marc Malusis of WFAN in New York. He is a beat writer for the New York Giants. He had a trusted source [probably close to the OBJ camp] tell him the the Minnesota Vikings and Cleveland Browns in discussions on a trade for Odell Beckham Jr. The guys from Climbing The Pocket Network discuss the possibility, especially after the Vikes traded Stefon Diggs to the Buffalo Bills. Since then, beat writers for both the Vikings and the Browns have pinged their sources and say there is nothing to this. PA is one of them, and well as Mathew Coller. Malusis came on SKOR North and defended his reporting and source. It may be nothing more than OBJ's people trying to goose along something that isn't there.

Hint… it won’t be cheap. Will Dalvin hold out if he doesn’t get one?   ESPN replayed

Eric helps us to understand that the multiplicative nature of COVID-19’s infectiousness poses a great danger to the healthcare system.
