So is the NFL gonna continue the season as scheduled, just without a stadium crowd. I feel like I’m not hearing enough news on how they plan to go forward with covid controls during the regular season.

Planning covid controls appears to be a fools errand as we have seen from what already is happening. The guys who are married (and don't tinder swipe all day when they are on the road) won't be the issue. It'll be the 22 year old horndogs going to clubs and chasing tail that will bring it into the system. And you can't really stop that without putting ankle trackers on your players.


Seems you've found the solution to the problem already. Seriously, though... why not do that? They're paying them millions of dollars--hundreds of thousands, at a minimum--to keep their dick in their pants for 20 weeks (24, if they're lucky). Protect your assets from themselves and lock 'em down.

I think I read somewhere that UEFA or some soccer league would be using old recorded crowd noise in their games at some point. Wouldn't be surprised to see the NFL do something similar as well.

I hope not I'm loving the UFC hearing the corners and the shots, it makes it super interesting. I think the NFL could do great things with micing up more players and stuff. It will be a completely different experience no doubt, but not wholly worse.

Fake crowd noise would be awful IMO! [/QUOTE]

You can't tell the difference unless there's some skipping in the track. Want proof? Look up teams that pumped noise through their PAs, or were accused of it, at least (the Colts are among those accused).

Dalvin Cook asking for 13m/year, Vikes offering 9m/year.

Cut it down the middle to 11m/year and we gucci.

I don’t advocate overpaying RBs. But Zimmer’s playbook is reliant on Cook’s burst and balance (has one of the best yards after contact in the league). Pay the man and cut Cousins loose (if we need more cap space).


And replace him with who, exactly? QB is the hardest position to fill. The Broncos could have been a dynasty if they had someone to replace Manning, but they didn't, so they sucked. He's a 4,000 yard, 70% completion percentage passer with a 3/1 and 4/1 TD/INT ratio over the last two years. He's a top 10 QB in the league right now, love him or not. Should the Vikings be looking at draft picks that could replace him? Without a doubt. Is there someone better in the league right now who is also available? Absolutely not.

And cut him to replace a guy who has already blown a knee in week 2 of a season? Systems based around a halfback's talent are doomed to fail because the halfback could practically die on every play. It's a lot less likely for a QB to get injured in a way that will impair his game with all the protections they have for QBs. If any GM made a move like the one you suggested, they should be fired immediately without question. Find 10 better QBs than Cousins (and preferably players that didn't have one good year, like Tannehill... that guy has to show he can do it more than once before getting a spot in the top 10). Now find one of them that's available who you think has a higher probability of taking the team to the Super Bowl. And you can't because that player doesn't exist. This isn't a Jay Cutler kinda situation, either, where he was clearly not good and you had a 50/50 shot of getting someone better. Cousins is actually good. He may not be worth his salary (few QBs are), but he's not Cutler-esque.

Good. And keep it that way. He's a national treasure.


I hope you get hit by a truck for that comment. My hatred for Brady knows no bounds! Brady benefited from a great system that was enhanced by some of the best cheating we've ever seen in pro sports. It's a lot easier to win Super Bowls when you record their closed practices and see all the plays they plan to run against you. And so shocking that the other teams busted for the same shit are all (to my knowledge) from Belichick's coaching tree. Link me to "yourteamcheats" all you want, but we all know that players using PEDs (which is at least 50% of the Broncos infractions) isn't the same as recording Super Bowl practices. I mean, really, if you think these guys aren't all juiced, you're only kidding yourself. Ray Lewis was so full of drugs during his comeback, he was more drug than man. A fucking 20-year-old doesn't recover from a torn biceps that well, and this geriatric fuck is gonna come back in like six weeks? Please. Idk what test derivative he was on, but he was on some shit, and probably a fuckload of HGH if he had any tendon/ligament tears. AP was, too. You don't blow a knee at the end of the season and then almost set a rushing record the next. A-Rod's guy talked at length about how easy it is to beat drug tests, and there's little reason to doubt him considering how long it took to bust A-Rod.

Anyway, the Patriots' cheating was orders of magnitude worse than what any other team I've reviewed has done, and they hardly paid a price for it. Kraft should have lost the fucking team over that shit. I'd say the same thing if that kind of cheating happened under Pat Bowlen (Broncos owner). The NBA stripped a team for some racist comments (I'm not saying it was the wrong decision), but Kraft's team gets to jeopardize the foundation of the game (its integrity), and they get fined half a million and a draft pick (that they would have traded for three later picks that all would have busted anyway), AND Belichick gets to keep coaching? Come the fuck on.

They are going to start pretending there is no Covid if they can.

I follow a lot of law professor blogs, and they all are delirious and hysterical about how students should totally still enroll and pay full price for zoom classrooms and no one should take a gap year. And of course the new travel restrictions on foreign students is a bad idea.

These places are houses of cards fully of greedy people just like any other. They are going to do it unless the media agitation against them blows up to nearly epic proportions.


Omfg, please follow those lawyers' advice. I need to keep my job! (I work for a top 10 university, and enrollment rates dropping have the potential to hurt me very badly... at least for the next couple of months before I leave this job for something I don't hate).

Lots of smoke around kap getting signed. Even kaps group has communicated legitimate inquiries. We might get to see if he can play with a legit shot. They have said it is hard because setting up workouts in covid is difficult.


He had a chance in SF, and he can't. Even if he could have, he can't now. He was never that good, and he's been out of the league for way too long. His accuracy was always a problem, and it will not have gotten better over the past X years he's been gone. I think he's a fine person, and I never had a problem with his political stance, but I understood why a team wouldn't pick up a PR nightmare who can't play in a standard offense. FWIW, I thought he didn't always voice his opinions in the best way (the socks thing, for instance; hilarious, and overblown, but he didn't seem to understand where he was at that time, or something), and I thought that his politics would jeopardize his job, but I never disagreed that cops are shitheads. I still disagree that he was blackballed entirely for his politics. He was like that punter who was all about gay rights (I had a problem with gay rights when I was like 17 and still fully indoctrinated by my upbringing, but I've since seen the error in my thinking). Punters don't matter enough to let them have a political stance. End of the day, the NFL is a business, and if anything you say hurts their bottom line, you're out. Granted, had the NFL not branded itself as this disgusting, nationalist propaganda machine in the first place, the opinions of those two guys may not have had as big an impact, but the NFL took a political stance, and dissenting views now hurt their bottom line, so I get where they're coming from... it's a pretty big part of the reason I don't actually watch football anymore, though. The NFL can get fucked, as far as I'm concerned.

It's almost as though we shouldn't have education and athletics so closely linked to one another. What a fucking shocker.

Hopefully not. Players hate it; it fucks up the season's rhythm. In whatever the NFL Network does for Super Bowl teams, Rapestberger talks about how the second Super Bowl team was so good and prepared because they played almost every game at noon on Sunday, and how much that matters to teams. And then what teams do they move to Saturday? Teams that played MNF are gonna be furious if they have to play on Saturday. Just leave it as it is, imo.

Likely NFL regular season gonna get postponed or not happening at all this year.

Kinda sad but I rather the league take the proper precautions and safety guidelines than just go in and wing it (which seems to be the hot take of concerned players atm)
