    Got to admit, did not think it was going to happen.

    This will be an abnormal season. What happens if a QB goes out somewhere to have dinner with his O-line and somebody in the room (or area) reports they got Covid-19? Does the whole group sit out two games?

    BTW, did the NFL come out with any written guidelines telling players not to do that or any other written direction on avoiding social gatherings with your team mates or any official policy on how to change your behavior so you avoid being forced to sit out games due to potential infection?

    Yes players got a list of activities to avoid, a code of conduct so to speak. They are not allowed to be in crowded places like bars etc. I can’t remember the full details but there is definitely something there.

    10 positive cases after 60k tests so far. If they can keep that going I think there is a good chance of a credible season.

    The big test will come midway through the season, everyone is geared up now but if a team is say 2-6 and out of the running it would be easy for discipline to slip.

    From what I have been reading when the teams go out on the road, they are being kept from going out etc. No out to eat meals no bars no nothing.

    If this rule had been in place all along, there might be fewer children in the world. Right, Cromartie?

    Yeah but that dude got like a Vasectomy and then got his wife pregnant again with Twins I think.

    He must have like 10 billion sperm.

    Also a fact Phillip Rivers has like 20 billion sperm.

    Thank god he never became the Steelers QB, we would of needed like one whole section for Phillip Rivers kids.

    I'm pretty sure Phillip Rivers kids made up half the LA Chargers home game fans last year.

    They gave a list to the players and said go out into the world you are grown men. What could go wrong?

    There's too much money at stake for there not to have been a season in some capacity. So I'm not completely surprised.

    Not to sound rude or put you on the spot but what are you expecting? There to be a nation wide press conference where they say congrats everyone or protests and voices have been heard we can go back to our lives! Change, real change takes time. Jackie Robinson didn't break the color barrier and be instantly accepted. Southern college football programs held out integrating their teams until the teams that did recruit African Americans players were routinely kicking their butts. It took how many years before social change forced the Washington Redskins to reconsider their name and retire it. Change happens slowly especially at the heart and minds stage that we are at.
