We are 10 days from football, my friends. I have just purchased NFL Game Pass which apparently gets me every single game with no blackouts in Europe, so I am ready for the season.

Anyone have any predictions, other than Cam leading the Pats to the Super Bowl, which is a given.

I'm just really curious whats gonna happen when some oline goes down with covid. Will that reschedule, push the season back, cancel the game and have weird tiebreaker about win percentage, etc

Either way I'm pumped even though my team is awful (Jets)

Yeah, I was just thinking about that actually. In the MLB right now, it isn't too difficult to cancel a game and reschedule a doubleheader later on. We saw the Cards miss out on a number of games and they'll be fine.

The NFL cancelling even one game feels impossible with how everything works and is scheduled, and it's not as easy as removing the positive tested player considering they can't ensure who has come in contact with them. It should be interesting.

I am very much anticipating some fantasy football anger coming in the near future because of it.

The Saints are apparently shopping Kamara after his holdout. The RB position is wild this year between injuries and holdouts. The first two rounds of fantasy feels like a minefield.

The Pats cut Sanu and are linked to Fournette.

Sure?

Fournette to the Bucs. Brady is going to have no excuse when they end up losing.

My money league is pausing for the year and going with a free league, some people are dropping out, etc. I think the people that lose every year are seeing this as an opportunity to leave while saving a little face.

Yeah I'm "playing" the board 8 league just to hold my spot for next year basically, and probably won't look at it for more than 5-10 minutes a week post-draft. My office league isn't happening and I wouldn't join it anyways this year.

That's super interesting to hear, actually. I had people ask to join my league, and then had another league just start with friends to go on top of my third league with a different group of friends.

It seems like the want for something to do is high in my circle when there isn't really anything else going on in life for obvious reasons.

I still feel like fantasy football would be a great way to trigger my OCD overmanagemental tendencies.

I did not realize the season was so close until I saw it here. Somehow it feels under the radar to me. Could be because I am paying so much attention to hockey at a time it's not normally on.

Time to watch Trubisky and Foles both crap the bed, when they both inevitably start games this season. It's a shame because the Bears D is likely top 3 (at the very least, their front 7 definitely is, secondary is a bit more arguable), and will likely steal them a couple games.

I mean, I'm basically of the opinion that the NFL shouldn't be happening at all and would be surprised if it was even as well-run as baseball currently is (and that's a low bar) or if the season finished, so...

Hell, a few weeks ago, some idiot team owner came out and said he intended to have fans at every game.

Don't forget Kirk Cousins literally saying, "If I die, I die"!

They should have attempted a bubble as that has gone very well for the other leagues, and they had all the time in the world to coordinate it too.

I agree that it is absolutely better that it doesn't happen, but if they are going through with it I don't see anything wrong with playing a bunch of fantasy football.

Nah, the fans gotta see it as a win either way. Either he's good and they do good, or he's bad and they do bad. One leads to winning, the other leads to a high draft pick.

The other option is "he's mediocre" and they win 6-8 games, which is probably the likeliest, but that's probably not bad enough to call for the backup QB. If it is, we can loop back around to, "It'll be bad enough to lead to a high draft pick", because there's no way Stidham is better than Cam.

I don't want the season to start at all as its too easy to spread Covid in the NFL, but if it does, it does. I made peace with that. I Don't know if I will be up to listening to Houston get bullied for 4 hours over the Hopkins trade as much as the team deserves it however.

Week 1 is going to be miserable for me.

Rosen was screwed from the very start to the very end.

AP did amazing things in Minnesota, but there's going to be some twisted joy to be had watching Hunter, Barr, and others beat the crap out of him now. That's assuming the Lions play like the Lions and the Vikings...play NOT like the Vikings usually do: tits up when they shouldn't.

Cook has carried the load in his place. I'm not sure they are ready to back the truck for a new contract though. I mean, part of me thinks they should, but we all know how running backs get.

I had a dream last night that I was running late to my first day of a new teaching job, and then as soon as I left the house I became Tony Romo trying to make a late 4th quarter comeback, only to throw a pick and lose the game.

So, uh, it's definitely both football season and back to school season.

Okay so OBJ is currently trending on Twitter and I can't find the actual reason, it's only people making jokes and memes, which are hilarious.

On the surface it seems like maybe "he eats ass" which is a non-story, but the memes are making it out to be "he likes to get pooped on and/or eat poop", which is interesting, to say the least.

Oh man this keeps getting even funnier. So the podcast that the girl said this on is a new one given to the "I gave 7 blowjobs at once to the Phoenix Suns" girl and her friend by the guy who's podcast they were originally on, Adam22. It's all just a cycle.
