Football and coronavirus

the most dishonest source I know is mainstream US media. And I mean all of it
They portray the 'news' in such a way as to get clicks, sell papers and/or get you to tune in on your TV. If a white guy is killed by a cop then it's reported as part of the news, but if a black guy is killed by a cop then that story has the potential to create all kinds of related news such as demonstrations, riots, looting, etc.
If a white guy is killed by a cop then it's reported as part of the news, but if a black guy is killed by a cop then that story has
1) White supremacists traded in their boots for suits and more likely than not are the police force member who did that killing. When you hear and use the term alt-right, that's a rebranding of white supremacy created by.. white supremacists.
2) History of police in the US. First police in the South were.. slave patrols.
Note, of course, that police corruption has been much worse and more violent throughout the history of the US -- that doesn't make it right, it does however center any discussion in reality and away from the fantasy of "justice is blind" that many appear to assume. Gipper may very well have done his best to be honorable.. can't say the same for other justices or police however. "The Third Degree" is a euphemism for torture.
3) Remember that the chief issue is ECONOMIC and that those of both parties who play the identity politics game are the corrupt ones.. because they want credit for acknowledging without making any change. Welfare benefits.. help vastly more white people than black people [5x more white people in poverty in the US than black people]. As we have seen with the last 10 years of bailout, there is no shortage of money.. unless you're not already rich.
Fun: The Confederate States of America was a repressive antidemocratic state devoted to white supremacy

Face it folks. There will be no football this season, and possibly ever. We haven't found a vaccine for Ebola, or even the common cold.
The world has changed. Understand that and it makes it easier. The NFL will fold after this year. At least several of the teams will. Just like thousands of restaurants have closed, you can't keep paying rent, payroll, insurance, etc. if you don't have a steady stream of cash rolling in the door.
NFL owners are rich people, but most are pretty leveraged in buying that team and building stadiums. How long to you think they are going to ride it out? A NFL team is a bad investment if you can't play games or host concerts in the stadium you just sunk $600 million in to as your part of a public/private investment.. Sooner or later you are going to see owners cutting their losses. Trust me, several owners are already talking about it and planning the best exit strategy.
I don't think there are many buyers for NFL teams at the moment.

I just don't think so. Maybe it could be, but I doubt it.

While the above contains some truth, it is not as simple as just that. There is an agenda by those who own/control the media. and it's nefarious.

Does any of this seem like a slam dunk ?
......Schefter reported that the Cowboys and Steelers will play in the 2021 Hall of Fame Game. The enshrinement of the 2020 Hall of Fame class will take place in 2021, but a new date has not been announced.
Rich Desrosiers, VP of communications for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, was optimistic that fans could be in the stands as recently as mid-June.......

Other sports will be getting underway before football so football's fate might be tied to how those sports do.
We're already seeing golfers pulling out of tournaments because they or their caddy has tested positive.
I think everybody wants to see football start up. Everyone. For the morale of the people and the country. But man, the US is getting 30,000+ new cases per day. (40k today, and almost 650 new deaths).
The way things are going, I think the NFL will try mightily to get a season in this year...but inevitably players on many teams will start testing positive and the league will be forced to put the season on hold. I mean, whaddaya do if your whole QB room has to quarantine?
I certainly hope they play. After all, direct tv gave me the ticket for free this year, for being a loyal customer. So, of course there won't be a season!
BEING A BROWNS FAN IS A TEST TO SEE HOW MUCH YOU CAN TAKE -
Face masks save lives - Love it, you non-mask-wearing people. The rest of the world is now considering quarantining inbound travelers only from the US - but hey, you couldn't possibly be wrong!
Note the lags in time before effects show: "Nearly 80 per cent of the Covid-19 deaths reported in early June could be linked to people’s reluctance to wear a face mask in mid-March". [wearing a mask in mid-April isn't part of the dataset because those pop early July]

Free? What secret code did Chang in Seattle give you?
Am 9 years in with the NFL ticket & Bertha in Buffalo (a-pair-Ain't-Wie) can't stand a Browns fan..From what i could barely understand ? now that the English language is foreign...

...and there lies your mistake.
The day after they traded Trent Richardson away (which turned out to be a great move) I called 'em up and cancelled my Sunday Ticket. And I haven't had it since. I'm assuming that this is to try and lure me back.

It was a great move, only to be completely wasted the next spring by using the 1st rounder from the Colts on Billy Manziel.

Or, at least that they will all be bed ridden with the illness and will have to vote by mail.

the coach Chud, 2013 season..Bengals 11-5/ Pitt & Birds 8-8/ Browns 4-12
... and the Browns finished last again in 2014.. but with a 7-9 record...I got no clue what any of this means ?.. but congrats on not paying for The HueJax chit-show era...
We have not seen more than 8 wins in any season for 13 years... so if Orion breaks that streak, watching the nfl ticket for free? Your Band may need some Tour dates to pay up in 2021..
Win #8... gO brOwns!!

Season ticket holders are getting a survey on Covid.

Season ticket holders are getting a survey on Covid.
Yep. I filled mine out already.
Some interesting questions in the survey...one asked if I'd take more tickets to fewer games (I have 2 seats). In other words, say 4 tickets to 4 games.
I'd rather have my 2 seats for a few games and apply the $$ towards 2021 for games I can't attend. Who knows how this will be handled.

could be just me? but i have a few media Rants that may help meself by just getting them out ?..
1) Camps won't open end of July.. This league is just to slow at doing anything..and Both sides rarely agree on anything..I might image a October start.. if any
2) the data from Baseball & NBa/NHL re-starts won't even have time to show any real data, that shows any affects on what smaller roster teams could show..
3) Helmets? have ya heard some of these bright idea's? The only picture that comes to my mind is the scene from Apollo 13
run in a cloth mask and see if that thing don't become a nose booger by halftime ?..
I can't envision a spat visor extending to cover players own mouth either.. where will the visor end? with no risk to his own throat? Or another players dis-attached finger? I've been in one, when that unexpected loose rivet cracks that shield..that will get ugly
4) Waivers-- sure some players may opt out from playing this season at all.. Players will fail covid testing... so let's not get the cart out in front of the horses... by setting cut down roster limits before we even start

I answered the survey, and thought that a moronic idea. I live 600 miles away. Many times I have a hard time finding someone to take my 1 extra. What the hell am I going to do with 6 tickets? As for me, I don't plan on any games. They will give you a credit or refund your money.

Almost 72k new cases in the US today. WTF

Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why,
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.BEING A BROWNS FAN IS A TEST TO SEE HOW MUCH YOU CAN TAKE
