NFL COVID THREAD

[ducky]

When the NFL knew they weren't going to play the preseason games, I have no idea why they didn't move the start of the regular season up 1 or 2 weeks and have a week in Dec where EVERYONE had a "bye". That way they could schedule make up games for teams that miss a week because of COVID.

For a virus with a 99.95% survival rate for people under the age of 70 and most people need to be tested to know if they ever even had it.

Death is not the only bad outcome. Heart damage is another one, not known if that can be permanent yet. I think you can see how that would impact the livelihood of a professional athlete.

Titans found out a player tested positive a day before the game, and they played anyway.

This is big especially if a number of the positive tests are key players.

That should be a HUGE issue. Like "we are just going to take away a few draft picks" level penalty.

So are they practicing at another facility or something? And since they all get tested, they'll know the extent of the spread by Friday, most likely.

NHL = bubble, no fans, and no COVID cases for a "full" season
NBA = Bubble, no fans, and few covid cases for an almost "full" season
MLB = no bubble, no fans, and a few missed games for some COVID cases for a "full" regular season
NFL = no bubble, fans, and already one team facility shut down after 3 weeks of the season

The tweet that I saw on that got deleted a few minutes after I posted. So, for now at least, that's up in the air.

The Falcons did the same, but they named the player and didn't play him. If Tennessee played this player and he got his teammates or Vikings players sick, Tennessee should get penalized.

The guy who delete it, and his follow up tweet:

Still, that linebacker coach is probably Patient 0, that passed it around to the other players who ended up testing positive.

The entire NFC East is playing like they have Covid!!!!

Dallas has reverse COVID. Play like we are dead in the first half and turn it on in the 4Q

Well thank god it is only 48 players of the Vikings that were exposed.

And this is why I didn’t give my shady cousin money for FF this year.

There were more diseases on their cruise ship party.

Yep... The exact reason I didn't do money leagues this year... I played Fantasy Baseball and it was a nightmare trying to put together lineups with players in and out of covid protocol on a daily basis... We had to add 4 IR spots totalling 6...

Here's the problem.................................Quarantine requires 14 days. That's two Sundays and if those 8 players are starters the Titans are screwed.

I'm more interested in this....Did those 8 players happen to be together at a restaurant on Saturday night and have the same waitress or go to the same bar and have glasses that were on the same tray or washed in the same cycle together? Why these 8 players? What's the common connection?

I'll have you know.....




nvm.... my bachelor party was on the same boat....
