If they can't come up with proper testing or a vaccine I can't see how they're gonna let these guys go beat the snot out of each other and sweat on each other.

I could stand them playing in an empty stadium more than not at all but I don't see it happening.

A-1, I have a feeling it was as much personality as knee.

If there's a sport that could thrive on TV only, it's the NFL. But if they have to quarantine the players somehow and somewhere to make it work not sure that would fly...

Very correct. But how do you test players weekly? Or do you quarantine them for 17 weeks and test less frequently? Just look at the Dallas players at a 30+ person house party last week.

The only way I could think of is testing everyone who would be in the stadium the day before. Players, coaches, other staff, media, camera guys, etc. Then keeping players away from everyone else when they're on the road. No visits to the hotel bar or coffee shop. Test everyone who's providing food for them at the hotel. Video interviews and post game only. Then of course, playing in an empty stadium. Even after all that its still possible some players could be exposed and possibly infected somewhere. Weird times indeed. If a few players ended up testing positive after a couple games, they would probably shut it down anyway. So I just can't see it happening realistically.

Has anyone been by SoFi to see the level of work and the number of cars parked there?

There’s a fancy 30 story condo tower not far from me that’s going full blast. Nothing has changed. But two office buildings nearby have slowed down. They had an overflow lot and shuttle buses: but now the overflow lot is no longer used.

Been doing a fair amount of walking these days, lots of construction going on, new houses still being built. Got a couple neighbors in the biz, they're still going to work.

I've personally written off the 2020 Season and I'm OK with that. Give them another year to get the stadium up to speed, rest the players, etc. We're in a surreal time right now. I can handle it. The NFL? Not so sure.

Yep, we've never been this busy.
Still riskier tho so I carry a very well stocked PPE kit and cover up like spiderman, cant even see my face let alone touch it. Rams HD 5er outside the back door for my daily work garb. Everything disinfected, rotate the N-95 masks outdoors with the date of last use so not to wear one twice for at least 4 days. Change gloves 1/2 dozen times a day, wash hands dozens of times, rotate wrap goggles, wipe downs,, yada....
Point is were working but it's a lot of work to keep me and those around me safe.

It will be what it will be. Hope were all around to see the end of this.
One thing I cant handle are the beaches being closed. By summer I expect it.
