The Rush: Is Kyrie Irving partying through the NBA’s COVID crisis?
The NBA adjusted its COVID protocols in an attempt to stem the recent wave of postponements, Nets PG Kyrie Irving has missed multiple games for “personal reasons” and is under investigation allegedly partying without a mask, Texans great Andre Johnson injected himself into the feud between Deshaun Watson and the team, and the celebration in the streets of Tuscaloosa after Alabama’s championship was almost certainly a super spreader event. PLUS: This future Hall of Famer has a chance to reach his fourth NFC title game and guest-host an episode of Jeopardy! Who is Packers QB Aaron Rodgers?

Aaron Rodgers: One of my idols growing up was Alex Trebek. They're doing some guest hosting spots, and it's going to be released here pretty soon, but I have the opportunity to do one of those.
- Let's go!
JARED QUAY: Before you go asking why is Aaron Rodgers going to host a game show, remember, he's not just a Super Bowl champion, he's also a Jeopardy champion.
- He is the winner today. His charity, the MACC fund, will receive $50,000.
JARED QUAY: You forgot that, didn't you? Now I'd love to do an in-depth look at his upcoming snit as a quizmaster, but I can't because this league is in danger of hitting pause.
- What is the NBA?
- Kevin Durant is absolutely lethal. Cross them up, throw it down. An exclamation point on this one.
JARED QUAY: Hope you like that action because with games getting postponed left and right, I don't know how much more you're going to get. Yesterday NBA leadership tightened up COVID protocols. You know what away teams can't do anymore? Have guests come to their hotel. It's forbidden. I don't care if it's your cousin you never seen in the last six years, you can't do it.
Now, that might help prevent divorce, but not their owner. Want more proof? Look no further than this flat-earther who's in hot water again for hating on science.
- Who is Kyrie Irving?
JARED QUAY: Correct. He's been absent from the Nets last three games, and yesterday we found out why. The league is reportedly looking at video of Kyrie partying with family but without masks. And here's an exclusive look at the footage.
No, I'm just messing with you. This is actually a street in Tuscaloosa right after Alabama's championship victory. But like an urban family barbecue, it's definitely a super spreader event. The people in that video were not making great decisions. Kind of like this NFL team that's notorious for wasting careers.
- What are the Detroit Lions?
JARED QUAY: Oh, sorry. That's a good answer, but no. We're looking for the Houston Texans. In the ongoing feud between Deshaun Watson and the Houston Texans, the quarterback now has a new ally, Andre Johnson. The former Texans great put Houston on blast, saying the team is notorious for wasting players careers. He would know too. He might have had the best one that Houston wasted.
And if you think he's looking for attention, that ain't him. He's only averaging 1 and 1/2 tweets a year. I mean, at this rate, anything he says is valuable. So when he says that team is wasting talent, oh, that means they wasting talent.
