1. I suspect the appellate court will rule on the school mask case today.

2. Appeared to be 95% mask compliance at yesterday’s super bowl.

3. ==ppeared to be 95% mask compliance at yesterday’s super bowl.==

   Super Bowl, what’s that? Didn’t watch it. Not interested in it. Watched golf on CBS until it ended at 6, and the beginning of 60 Minutes, then off the TV went. Also listened to programs on the local Christian radio station that I enjoy on Sunday evenings too.

4. I was glad the refs stayed out of the SB … until the game depended on it.

5. Was thrilled for Matthew Stafford, “proving” how great of a QB he’s always been, but being stuck in Detroit, Stafford got his chance to shine with the Rams.

   Was hoping for the Bengals, but a good consolation prize with Stafford, who has as many Super Bowl wins as Rodgers.

6. Mayor Langfelder in Springfield is a little too giddy about the impending end of the mask mandate. And shows his disregard for public safety and common sense in the process, as his quote in a Friday SJR story shows. All in time for “Halloween in March” to arrive in Springfield next month.

   “‘We’re going to follow the governor’s orders. Right now I’m wearing a mask. On March 1, I won’t be,’ Langfelder said.”

   As for me, I will still mask until maybe positivity rates are less than 0.25% in Sangamon County, Region 3 or statewide. Of course, unless it’s still required where I’m at, such as doctor’s office. And even then I may be hesitant when in a store to not wear a mask either, as I consider myself immunocompromised.

7. I’m sure there was lots of teeth gnashing and rage in St. Louis last night.

8. Cinncinnati Bengals, the ‘08 Arizona Cardinals can sympathize with you.

   Comment by Flyin' Elvis'-Utah Chapter Monday, Feb 14, 22 @ 9:02 am

9. Super Bowl was a well played game with the officials taking a let em play attitude until the final two minutes. Was I the only person who saw the Rams illegal movement on the same play Cincinnati got called for defensive holding?

   @Flyin Elvis, the 06 Seattle Seahawks can also sympathize with the 08 Cards and the 22 Bengals.

10. == the 06 Seattle Seahawks can also sympathize with the 08 Cards and the 22 Bengals.==

    The 80’s Bengals will tell both they don’t need their sympathy. They were this well before the millennium.

11. One announcer said Joe Burrow was in his first full year and he was sure Burrow would be back to the Super Bowl. I hope so, but I also remember Dan Marino, he was in the SB his rookie year and never went back.

12. OW- I believe Rodgers will remain one of 22 names on the One Super Bowl Victory list, along with such stars as Jim McMahon, Doug Williams, Trent Dilfer, Mark Rypien and Jeff Hostetler.

13. ==ppeared to be 95% mask compliance at yesterday’s super bowl.==

    Super Bowl is more like “Commercial and Entertainment Fest interrupted occasionally with a Few Guys Playing Football.”

14. ===I believe Rodgers will remain===

    Can never take it away from any of them.

    Same for Stafford too.

    It’s more about this idea that Stafford has been a terrible QB, while ignoring the franchise he played for in those years.

    Detroit has not been close to a Green Bay

15. Not sure why the Bengals fans are sad today. I had the Bengals +4, so it’s chicken for dinner for me. That botched extra point was the only highlight I’ll remember from this game.

16. Gino DiVito in the Tribune with a deep analysis of the crime legislation in constant question. single subject violation?

    Comment by Amalia Monday, Feb 14, 22 @ 10:52 am

17. ===single subject violation? ===

    It’s his pet peeve but it’s a goofy assertion. Criminal law would be the subject.

18. Barring another variant spike, “Halloween in March” will return to downtown Springfield Mar. 12 as the city plans to resume their St. Patricks Day parade after a 2-year COVID hiatus. Too soon to resume this again in my opinion.

19. Mayor Langfelder needs to listen to the people. the majority want masking. Unmasked people are a
    danger to the immunocompromised.

    Comment by Peanut Monday, Feb 14, 22 @ 3:25 pm

20. Today’s avoidable mistake: doubled down on misnaming a union. It’s Unite Here local 1, not United Here. She did this twice. It’s not that hard.

    Comment by Fire Shia Monday, Feb 14, 22 @ 3:30 pm

21. ==Mayor Langfelder needs to listen to the people. the majority want masking. Unmasked people are a
    danger to the immunocompromised.==

    Immunocompromised best describes me, even though I’ve never been officially diagnosed as such. Thankful I got both shots and the booster as soon as possible after we were authorized to do so.

    If Langfelder continues this attitude I will seriously consider refusing to spend any of my hard earned money in Springfield until he changes his masking stance. Unless it’s unavoidable. And even if he changes his mind I might avoid Springfield shopping as much as possible during the rest of his term as mayor. (But even before the pandemic due to time and convenience I was trying to limit shopping in Springfield as much as possible, after moving to Chatham).
