The Man Known as Dan Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Just being real, I have never once thought the NFL would come up with a good enough plan to play this year, and have heard nothing approaching a plan on the NFL side. The logistics have been a nightmare for the MLB (26 players) and NHL (22 players) how the fuck are the NFL gonna do it with 70? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 That is why it amuses me even more regarding college football BTW - tangent to that Apparently if there is no college football this year (but somehow NFL) - ESPN will use Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreit for MNF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, the way NFL players lift, they probably need at least one other experienced person of comparable strength around as a spotter. Sure they may have a trainer, but I imagine they've been working out with teammates since high school. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 While I am sure that was part of what they were talking about - it wasn't specific to the "hey lets go lift together" situations Like the example stated in the story - 20 Cardinal players were headed to Arizona so they could practice with Kyle Murray Or there was just a video from a day or two ago with Tom Brady throwing to his receivers Basically what the memo stated was - We only want you doing football related activities in official team facilities... once we figure out how to keep those clean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Ha Ha Clinton-Dix wasn't expecting actual bears to stalk him after he left the team. Bears are fascinating creatures to me. Enormously powerful and ferocious, and yet such complete ninnies at the same time. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Quote The NFL will allow teams to sell camera-visible signage to local sponsors for the first time, Ben Fischer of the Sports Business Journal reports. The plan, a way for teams to defray pandemic-related revenue losses, was shared with team presidents Tuesday, according to Fischer. The first six to eight rows in every stadium, including on-field suites, are off limits to fans this season in order to protect players, coaches and team staff from COVID-19 exposure. It also provides sponsorship opportunities. Tarps, potentially with sponsor logos, will cover those lower-level seats, per Fischer. English Premier League teams repurposed empty seating sections for ads during return to play last week. Owners will hear the plan at a Thursday meeting. Restrictions will protect league sponsors, but certain exceptions may be in play for competitive categories, Fischer reports. Currently, only sideline sponsors such as Microsoft, Bose, Gatorade and Oakley have highly visible TV exposure. The NFL prohibits all others from displaying signage below 40 feet of the playing surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolfan in NYC Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Remember how many, many moons ago, the Pats got all huffy because a film crew of theirs was taping another team's sidelines "for a documentary"? Yeah, well the NFL didn't buy it either. They were fined over $1m and have lost a 2021 3rd round pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
