Nah, I just hope Wentz winds up with zero rushing attempts for zero yards. He only gets hurt out of the pocket.
Let Jalen take all the run plays. Keep Carson fresh for the deep playoff run.

Just figured I'd stop by and say hi. Haven't posted here in ages, with not a lot of sports to talk about, and my family and I recovering from Covid. I tested positive a couple weeks ago, but my case was very mild. My mom, sister, and niece also caught it, but only my mom's case was serious. She's recovering, slow but surely. Just a difficult time to be in Florida.

Best wishes for you and your family.

I don’t want to jinx anything, but it’s encouraging right now.

The NFLPA reports its membership has had 95 positive tests for COVID-19.
This presumably means since March, but that is still 3.2 percent of the workforce before hardly anyone has even reported for training camp and mandatory testing. It underscores the widespread nature of the disease, as well as the challenges a contact sport with massive rosters and personnel groups is going to face in containing it.

This is why I think KC made a huge mistake giving that massive contract without knowing the leagues true direction and future.

- Just noticed this was an older story but if anything i think the situation has gotten worse in the last couple months.-

Johnson currently serves as the ambassador to the United Kingdom for President Donald Trump, a role he has held since August 2017. Christopher Johnson, his brother, has served as the Jets' CEO and Chairman during that time. The allegations include Johnson asking if the audience for an event associated with Black History Month would be comprised of "a whole bunch of black people" and questioned why the black community celebrates Black History Month. The disturbing allegations do not end there, as Johnson also made "cringeworthy" remarks about women's appearances and called an event for International Women's Day "a feminist event." Johnson did not deny the accusations when questioned, including more politically-loaded charges involving one of President Trump's U.K.-based businesses.

bigdog, you either have Patrick Mahomes or you wish you had Patrick Mahomes. It's that simple.

NFL mandates masks to be worn at games. I'm somewhat surprised they think they'll have fans in the stands.

They had him under contract for two more years, they would of had him regardless, would of made more sense to see where the cards fall as it is not like they got him for any kind of a deal here.

The particulars of the deal aren't known, but Zimmer was set to enter the final year of his deal prior to the extension. It keeps Zimmer out of lame-duck status. Zimmer, 64, is actually the league's eighth-longest tenured coach, as he heads into his seventh season atop the helm in Minnesota. Zimmer is 57-38-1 with a 2-3 postseason record. He likely needs to start winning some playoff games if he's going to stick around for a decade in Minnesota, but Zimmer is undoubtedly one of the more solid coaches in the sport.

From Pro Football Talk:

The charges against Ed Oliver are being dismissed by the district attorney in Montgomery County [because of] the lack of evidence,” Houston attorney Gary Patterson told Mark Berman of FOX 26. “The blood results came back, and they were totally negative. He had no drugs at all in his system. So everybody knows it’s not the attorney that’s getting him off.

Oliver was arrested in Montgomery County, just outside Houston, on May 16. He was charged with driving while intoxicated and unlawfully carrying a weapon.

Rumor is the Seahawks are going to resign Josh Gordon as soon as he's reinstated. Hopefully that's before week 1! *fingers crossed*
