The countdown to near silent NFL football is on

At 1 P.M. on September 13th, my hope is to be screaming at the TV set (with a few vulgarities thrown in)
"Let's Go Eagles Beat the Washington Football Team".
That's the only noise that I will need.

Countdown Eastern Time

NFL 2020 - Countdown

I wonder will they still do some big banner raising ceremony prior to the game with an empty stadium?

Only if it's shown on TV.

 

[Debbie Does]

Is somebody going to put up a John 3:16 banner behind the goalposts?

Seriously, for one hockey game we watched they were piping in fake fan noise to an empty rink.

It's gonna be weird to hear perfectly non-partisan cheering when they pipe in sound at football games.

Do they have a guy yelling "Beah heah!" like at Fenway Park?

 

[Hank Kingsley]

Going to be like a mausoleum in Seattle without the 12s.

I still don't think they are going to pull it off though. Too many dumb fucks play football.

MLB has had canned fan noises and cardboard cut outs. It is hard to watch.

MLB is near impossible to watch
so is the nba. squeak squeak, dribble dribble. saw a guy make a sick play the other day, 3 people clapped. it sucks.
the NHL is ok. i think its the empty stadiums that make it hard, as NHL arenas/seating are less than MLB or the NFL, and the angles they use for broadcast dont incorporate the huge crowd anyway, like other sports.

NFL may work. the NHL is.

i cant watch the nba or mlb right now.

The NHL was very hard for me to watch last week. I don't think it was the lack of a crowd though.

MLB has been hard to watch. The NHL was easier, but the jumbotrons with a players picture in the stands were annoying. NASCAR has actually been the easiest to watch throughout all of this.

Eagles will be hanging a "Near Title" banner......

Taking a page out of the Colts playbook. Very smart.

that 1 title tastes a bit nutty

 

[CaptainStubing]

I've been watching mlb without fans. I'll have no problem watching NFL without fans.

 

[Scooby-Doo]

Well the Cards open in Santa Clara. That "wine and cheese" crowd never makes any noise anyway so no big deal.

Might be getting a season full of Saturday games.


NFL schedule change coming? Saturday games likely to be added if college football gets canceled, per report

Would make sense if there is no CFB. Shit I’d say add a Friday night game too but that’d likely wouldn’t happen as teams would complain of another short week.

 

[Debbie Does]

I'll still ask them to change the channel for hockey.
