There will be football this year. Count on it. There may not be people in the stands, but there will be football this year.

Honestly, this what I think will happen........games with no fans in the stand is doable if they establish something similar to the concussion pool. Players testing positive for CV19 is put on injured reserve for the season or until he can produce neg tests. He's to have NO contact with the team.

I hadn't even considered the effect this will have on the NCAA.
They will lose billions of dollars in revenue. They can't justify playing when they are sending students home from dormitories and only having online classes.

Exactly........hard to imagine NFL pulling it off if college football can't figure it out.

I don’t see us having a training camp. I don’t see preseason happening for sure. So I don’t know how that will affect regular season. I’m saying no football this season

that's true
So start the whole thing up again . Never going to happen not without a cure. Or a Combatant. Well I’m sure at some point if we do it supposed to do we can beat this thing.

Oh yeah,
I would expect that mini camps get shelved but the rest continues as planned.
This "storm" upon us will pass with warmer days ahead.
What does warmer weather have to do with anything. It’s in Florida how much warmer do you want to get

My concern as a Cowboys fan is that we are installing a new offensive and defensive scheme. The season may start on time but how will we look? May take some time for us to hit our stride on both sides of the ball. The addition of another team to the playoffs may benefit us.

I don’t know, I think this new head coach knows how to put a scheme in according to his players abilities. I don’t think it’s gonna take long at all for that reason

Rookie camp and OTAs are very important for new coaches. I think we as Cowboys fans are optimistic that this will not be an issue and I am one of those fans. However, the teams that do not have much turnover at coaching and schemes will have an advantage. I personally look at this as a fact and something that MM should be working on right now as far as a plan to maybe install virtually as much as we can.

. I agree. I just don’t think it’ll be as hard as some think. I’m not actually a fan of this new head coach. But I’m willing to give him a shot. I wanted someone that wasn’t already scrutinized by the league. I mean won championship and he had Greek quarterbacks already . But for me you don’t win without middle pressure in this league. At least he knows how important a defensive nose tackle is

Not sure - I would suspect that no team activities before June, and perhaps July. Maybe the season would start later and have the SB in March 2021? I do think there will be a crazy amount of injuries though.

Maybe a season. By August or September we should be clear. Maybe half capacity allowed at the games.

Typically, flu (viruses) are a seasonal thing - a cooler/colder weather thing.
If this virus does continue into the hotter seasons, that would not seem natural.
One of those things that make you go hmmmm.....manipulated maybe ?
Ask yourself this:
How many bad things (attacks) do you need to see occurring consecutively before one starts to see a pattern...
.................Orange man bad.................

You drive everyday don't you? Live with the risk - 3200 every day die on the highways!
I’m glad you’re at the age where you can be reckless. I served in the military I have already took my chances it’s time for me to relax and possibly enjoy the rest of my life . I’m not paranoid I’m not uncomfortable I’m just not gonna do anything stupid or uncalled for and unnecessary risk
