I’d rather watch a stock boy, a truck driver, or a framer.

I’ve not watched NFL in years, way before the kneeling incidents. However, I think Trump has a good idea using them to kick off the restart. Since the MSM and the NFL are big buddies, they won’t criticize it as much.

Who’s saying that? Why can’t there still be summer camp for NCAA football?

I couldn’t care less.

Doesn’t the president know the NFL hates him? OTOH, maybe this will get them not to play. :)

I look forward to seeing the lines spread across the entire field width to maintain proper “social distance.” No contact anywhere in the game, either.

THAT would be an interesting game.

Good for Trump, although I think MLB should start sometime in early June after a training camp conducted with only intrasquad games in closed stadiums so any infection cases can be isolated and limited to just one team, allowing the other 29 to continue.

It’s a game about yardage, like waste disposal.

I’m with you there. Didn’t attend any games but watched some and found them more enjoyable than watching NFL. It’s a shame their inaugural season got scrapped. I hope they’ll be back next year.

For what it’s worth, current betting is that the season WON’T start on time. Starting on time is a +185 underdog.

Are you a serious? Summer camps won’t start until late July. Why post like they are starting up tomorrow?

Do we need to get our picks in?

If they replay the 2006 Superbowl I’m picking the Colts this time.

I think we will start in August - maybe a couple weeks late getting a shortened pre season in. JMHO
