QB Notes: Rodgers, Steelers, Broncos, Pats – profootballrumors.com

While Aaron Rodgers is content to go year-to-year with the Packers, who have declined to restructure his contract to create cap space this offseason, the reigning MVP has made no secret of the fact he is gunning for the job Alex Trebek held for 36 years. The first week of the Jeopardy! episodes Rodgers previously taped wrapped Friday, and although the show’s run of guest hosts will continue after next week’s shows, the 37-year-old quarterback wants to become Trebek’s successor. With Jeopardy filming five episodes per day two days a week — on Mondays and Tuesdays — Rodgers believes he can become the show’s next full-time host without retiring from the NFL. “I don’t think I’d need to give up football to do it.

Your guide to avoiding Covid-19 at church and other religious services – CNN

Just like a financial budget helps you figure out what your spending limits are, a "coronavirus budget" can help you figure out where your boundaries are in terms of potentially risky activities -- including religious services, she said. "When you're vaccinated, your budget now expands," said Wen, an emergency physician and visiting professor of health policy and management at the George Washington University Milken Institute School of Public Health. "You can do a lot more, but you still can't do everything. So, you should still choose the things that are the most meaningful to you, that are of the highest value. For example, if it's really important for you to return to in-person church services, don't also dine indoors in restaurants every night." Some churches, synagogues, mosques and...
