Former CIA station chief Dan Hoffman emphasized on Saturday the need for the U. S.  government to maintain transparency as foreign adversaries could exploit the presidents coronavirus diagnosis. His comments cameafter the Pentagon told the public that the military was ready if needed during these uncertain times. "I think its critically important for the government in this case, the Department of Defense both to reassure our allies and our citizens at home as well as deter our enemies by making those sorts of public statements," he told Fox News host Bill Hemmer. Hemmer asked Hoffman to describe, based on his experience, what was happening behind the scenes in the U. S.  government. AFTER COVID DIAGNOSIS, PENTAGON SAYS ALERT LEVELS REMAIN UNCHANGED"I think that for sure our intelligence community is out there collecting intelligence on some of the flashpoints around the world that might be the South China Sea, Taiwan, the cross-straits of Taiwan and China, for sure Iraq, where Iranian militias may seek to use this as an opportunity to target us, North Korea well be on alert for cyber intrusions and other things," he said.

"Hoffman specified that he thought the U. S.  would see "a lot of espionage from our enemies, particularly from Russia and China. "

With Cam Newton out for this weeks game against the Chiefs after testing positive for COVID-19, the Patriots will have to start someone else under center. It appears that Brian Hoyer will be the Patriots starting quarterback against the Chiefs, NFL Networks Ian Rapaport reported. The Patriots matchup with the Chiefs was originally scheduled for 4:25 p. m.  on Sunday, but it has been postponed to either Monday or Tuesday, the NFL said in a statement.  The Patriots were scheduled to travel to Kansas City at 1 p. m.  on Saturday.  That trip is now delayed as they await more test results and guidance from the NFL, according to ESPNs Adam Schefter.  Tuesday is also the more likely day the Patriots will play the Chiefs, Schefter reported. Hoyer has been the Patriots backup quarterback for the first three games of the season.  Jarret Stidham, who was expected by many to be the Patriots starting quarterback before Newton was signed, has been a healthy scratch in all three games this season. This is Hoyers sixth season with the Patriots.  Hes started 38 regular-season games over his 12-year career, but this would be his first start with the Patriots.  He has a 16-22 record in games hes started.

But beyond that, the most fulfilling reason to watch the Red Sox was hearing Dave OBrien, Jerry Remy, and Dennis Eckersley call the games on NESN.
