I wonder how many season ticket holders have not paid for their tickets yet, or can't. Also for the PSL's. many do the 30 years loan payments, so how many are nor paying or can't pay those. All the more reason I am glad I sold mine in 2016. As no one would buy the tickets to the games I could not go to.

That's why being a broker like my nephew is.

If he can't sell them he trades them for Ranger tickets or Mavs if they are in season.

He does major college football too.

He has told me somebody would call him hours before a game and drive to meet them to deliver. They pay in advance so he has little at risk.

It's a little crazy at times. Says he is like a drug dealer..only tickets to games.

What section and seats?

I was in section 313, row 1, seats 7 & 8. Parking lot 11.

$340 per ticket, now I think they are $375.

I can't take the flu shots. Never took a swine flu shot, nor the regular flu shot. I can't. So I never take a pneumonia shot, and I will not take this one either.
It is not so much a trust thing (though some of it is) as it is more an actual medical thing.

Oh oh..

I got it..

On his tombstone it will say..

"They couldn't make me take it"

Just a little mortuary humor.

Sorry.

Yeah in my case it may be true.
Have 2 friends, every year they get both shots, every year they a get a case of one or both. My other friend, same as me, can't take the flu shot, but swears by the pneumonia shot. Tries to talk me into it. He knows better than that. 2 weeks after the shot, he was in the hospital for a week with double pneumonia.

When the season starts is realistically a guessing game at best.

I'd love to believe it'll start on time but nobody knows when yet.

The NFL and its team owners would like you to trust in fantasy.

I think a September start is very optimistic.

I live in Ireland. We havent been hit as hard as other parts of Europe and nowhere near as bad as parts of the US. We're also several weeks ahead of the US in the timeline. Even though things are under control here and case numbers are droping, the medical/scientific advice to our Government re gradual return to normal (published a couple of days ago) would not allow football pratice until 10th August at the earliest and will not allow mass gatherings (stadium, concert events etc) until September at the earlist and even then there would need to be "social distancing" among fans.

Assuming all western Governments are getting similar scientific advice it is inconceivable that some NFL cities will have fans in stadia in September.

Best hope is a shortened season kicking off in late October/early November and running into February/March.

Good Lord.

As my mom used to say..

"This world and the next"

BTW..Show of hands..How many here wish to be buried with their cellphones just incase we want to post to the Forum when you go?

I thought so.

Cancelling the season would do more harm than Covid-19 could in 100 years.

Just because whatever the government says is good for us doesnt mean it will be. I dont trust the vaccine whether they say the trials went good or not.

And I say that because I dont trust the individuals behind it, and their behind the scenes reputation.

Geez. Take off the tin foil hat.

Heck, I would want it just in case I wake up. :lmao:

My final post though would be...Dez Caught It. :laugh:

That hat is too tight. Take it off and let your brain breathe.

Yep, they are.

I just had a "private messege" blocked from sending!

And it only had partially government related content in it.

Times are coming.

Anyway, hooray for lamb!

while people would be upset, if they were after doctors and nurses and some other essential personnel, I wouldn’t mind it. It would provide a welcome relief for many people.

I was being selfish a tad but that's a sure fire way of guaranteeing play and I am sure the players will be more comfortable too.
