Clips of players such as Steve Young vs clips of HT’s third championship show a difference. I’m sure the hunger to keep winning still remains for true competitors, but I do believe stars who’ve never won are more desperate to get that ring than the NE players who already have three.
Forget about why people are supposed to have died, which depends on them being positively diagnosed with COVID-19. Instead look at excess deaths based on the hard numbers of deaths reported by the CDC (bit tricky as there is a consistent lag in death reporting) compared to expected deaths for the time of year, and you see that in fact COVID-related deaths have been significantly underreported by around 50%. (Now that doesn't distinguish between actual COVID deaths and increased deaths from people being slower to go to ER and reduced deaths from accidents and car crashes), but it's still the accepted way of calculating the impact of a pandemic.

No. They have their own lives and careers. Brady being here or not isn’t going to override that.
We disagree. That’s fine.
Except that's not even remotely what he is doing. He is not taking means of 2 samples and comparing them. He is taking total deaths in the U.S. in 2020 (through July 29) and comparing it to total deaths in the U.S. in 2019 (through July 29). His conclusion is "there are roughly 220,000 more deaths this year than last year, therefore they are all Covid related deaths."
Yes, Covid is the main cause but the fault in his/your logic is you are assuming Covid is the only cause. As I established, prior to Covid, this number increases by tens of thousands annually.
Yes there is evidence for that. The evidence is that every year since 2010 until last year, we see an average of 46,000 more deaths in the U.S. than the previous year, with that number being 86,000 just a few short years ago. So like I said.... even if there was no Covid, at this point of the year, we would expect tens of thousands more deaths in the U.S. when compared to the same point last year.
