It's going to hurt so many people and businesses. There is a huge chunk of the economy in play here. What a mess! Deep down, we all know whats coming. Well one of us on here are continuing to fight it because they put their membership on the line lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not an opinion that there will be a season. When the players walked out during the strike year in the late 80s the league just brought in replacement players. Way too much money involved.

Joe hunter bet if there wasn't a season and it was cancelled then he would want to be banned that's how strongly he felt there would be a season.

I'm in the same boat they will start the season one way or another. No way in hell it finishes. We will see when they get to camp. If players are dropping left and right because of the virus and injuries in the first week of training camp they will call it. We have seen how well the MLB went in the first week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The season may start, but the chances of finishing are pretty slim. All you have to do is watch one old game to see how close fought and violent the game is.

I like his optimism though and hope he is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the way things are going there could potentially be lots of players testing positive across the league every week. And you could find certain positions are really badly hit.

Is that so? Interesting! If that's true then that's major. But also I'm not surprised. People get flu more than once in their lives because they get different strains of the virus.

We can hypothetical this BS until the end of time. In reality, they play with who they have. These are professionals. They will handle it as well as anyone could. I doubt they play anyway.

They will play with who they have, if there is a season, but it's impossible for teams to plan for this season and for each week given how often they may be affected by COVID.

The play makes this pretty clear. Awesome, now go rent Oliver Stone's "Born on the Fourth of July" and you'll have an honorary degree in American History from Penn. Btw, not being a d on purpose but Penn's RIGHT There brother, take the retellings of folks stuck in studio apartments with a grain of salt. Seems every guy or girl who ever chased Fame instead of an actual education always has a better way of telling the tale. I'm happy to know that after they closed your local library you were able to fill in the gaps with the latest Reese Witherspoon and Bradley Cooper adaptation. By the way, I've added your summation of the gifts Thomas Jefferson gave us to the list, alongside the fact that a guy did not spend 25 years wandering around in circles in Delaware, he ACTUALLY fought Apartheid .

TrotterIsGod Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Like to get back to Football, but heck 2020's already Strange. That's it, we'll call the entire spiel, "If we could go back in time and do it ALL OVER again, we wouldn't just kick the living crap out of Charlie Manson and the Family" what we'd really do is put Hamilton in charge, not the real Hamilton lol nobody remembers him, the one we made up. It's always better in the dark. Meanwhile little Tommy's over in the corner 38 years old regressed to the point of thumb sucking with a plate of apple pie and rice pudding next to him. Hahaha. Oh I forgot Lone Wolf declared the end of Football as America's game yesterday so I guess this post is "topical" <g> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
