I think a surprisingly large part of the population thought that locking society down for a few months was going to make the virus go away. It did slow the spread, but the virus is still out there, still spreading, which makes sports in the fall doubtful.

I agree. Three months seems like a long time, but nothing is quick with this virus. Cases are still high. I can't imagine things will be dramatically different in August, and the situation could be worse as the days get shorter in the fall. The NFL has a ton of money and people committed to...

No. It's not going away until most of the populace takes a vaccine or herd immunity stops it from spreading. High school football is not happening. College football? How? The NCAA and the universities will have the testing in place in August to proceed with a season? What if a few players test...

How is football going to be played in the fall? The virus is not going away. Yes, we can test every player, ref, team staff member every single day, but all it's gonna take is a few positive results on one team to throw the season into turmoil. Forget high school and college football. No chance...

Since 2011, the Patriots have drafted a league-high SEVEN(!) defensive backs in round 2: DB Kyle Dagger (37th overall) DB JoeJuan Williams (45th) DB Duke Dawson (56th) DB Cyrus Jones (60th) DB Jordan Richards (64th) DB Tavon Wilson (48th) DB Ras-I Dowling (33rd)

I think the question boils down to, will they have a season with no fans in stadiums? 65000 people in a stadium in September isn't happening.

I can't see people in arenas any time soon, certainly not this summer. Now the question is, will the play in empty arenas?

It’ll be safe for 70000 people to jam into a stadium in September? Maybe everyone will need proof of being tested before getting in?

pretty much every home game here in September and October is brutally hot. He'll probably catch a break because his presence will move some games to night time slots.

I live about 5 miles from here. He's gonna like the lifestyle. The biggest question is how will he adapt to the brutal summer heat and humidity that is unrelenting until Halloween. Bucs finally built an indoor training facility a few years ago, so that helps.

Won't be funny at all. If there is no NFL season, then we are all screwed. the last thing we will be thinking about is Brady not playing here in Tampa Bay. Sky high unemployment and a brutal recession.

I can see a 60 to 75 game season. Is that enough?

That's more exception than the rule as most residents are used to visiting team fans showing up en masse
