Utopia Talk / Politics / First NFL game postpone

rank | Thu Oct 01 20:26:41 2020 Titans - Steelers postponed due to COVID. So how many do you think we end up with before Week 17? And how many draft picks will the LVR lose because they won't wear masks? I predict the LVR will have at least 1 postponement before the end of the season because their players are stupid and cant follow simple directions. |

Baseball had Miami get I think it was 17 people test positive week one of their season and after that everybody but those two idiots from Cleveland took it serious. Maybe this postponed game will make the others aware they gotta take this shit serious if they want to finish the season. |

rank | Fri Oct 02 01:28:18 2020 The NFL has some fairly strict rules in place though for when teams travel and if the players follow the rules that will help. They also are going to be able to do accurate contact tracing if the players all comply with wearing the device. |

rank | Fri Oct 02 01:48:49 2020 It means he's scoring zero this week. |
Dakyron
rank | Fri Oct 02 18:50:53 2020 " if the players follow the rules that will help" Yeah, I guarantee this is not happened(see LVR for example). |

rank | Sat Oct 03 17:44:34 2020 Cam Newton just tested positive. They're still planning on playing the game but I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being cancelled after more positive tests. |
superdude
rank | Sat Oct 03 22:24:51 2020 Its cancelled. |
renzo marQuez
rank | Sat Oct 03 22:39:52 2020 Still might play Tuesday if there are no more positive tests. |

rank | Sat Oct 03 23:19:40 2020 Anyone regretting not taking those side bets I mentioned in underdogs week 1? ;D |
sam adams
rank | Sat Oct 03 23:26:13 2020 Hmmm. Im torn between my fantasy allegiance(i need mahomes!) and my pats allegiance(postpone that shit so we dont get slaughtered without our best player). |
renzo marQuez
rank | Sat Oct 03 23:31:23 2020 Gilmore is by far the Pats' best player. Cam is more valuable though since QBs are the key. |
renzo marQuez
rank | Wed Oct 07 16:43:19 2020 Uh oh.... http://www...fl/player/9883/stephon-gilmore STEPHON GILMORE DB, NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS Patriots placed CB Stephon Gilmore on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Gilmore joins Cam Newton as the only Patriots players to test positive. The Patriots cancelled Wednesday’s practice and this likely rules out Gilmore for at least Week 5. The reigning Defensive Player of the Year, Gilmore had 11 tackles, an interception, and a forced fumble through the first four games. |
renzo marQuez
rank | Wed Oct 07 16:48:01 2020 And 2 more Titans tested positive today so they probably won't be playing this week either. |
Sam Adams
rank | Wed Oct 07 17:22:26 2020 How is it our 2 best players are the ones with covid. I bet goodell is sneeking into the labs with fake tests. Conspiracy!!!! |
Dakyron
rank | Wed Oct 07 18:20:30 2020 And, of course, Gilmore played against the Chiefs so who knows how many people he might have infected. |
Sam Adams
rank | Wed Oct 07 19:06:20 2020 When does a person become infectious relative to these tests? Thats the big question. |
Dakyron
rank | Wed Oct 07 23:07:31 2020 Google says 2-3 days before onset of symptoms you are contagious. If he was tested Tuesday, then he would have theoretically been contagious on Sunday, unless he did not get it from Cam/whatever stripper Cam got it from, and this is a new infection. |

rank | Thu Oct 08 00:32:07 2020 "whatever stripper Cam got it from" Rofl |

rank | Sun Oct 11 16:06:04 2020 Pats-Broncos is postponed. Titans had to shut down again after another guy got Covid so hard to see how they play this week either. |
renzo marQuez
rank | Sun Oct 11 16:09:56 2020 Lulz. NFL is going to piss off the fantasy football players. It would be great if they made an announcement right after the 1 PM games kick off. http://twi...alk/status/1315292825500766209 NFL will make a decision in next few hours about Bills-Titans game set for Tuesday. |
sam adams
rank | Sun Oct 11 18:16:21 2020 Decision at 1:02 please. For the lulz. |
Cherub Cow
rank | Tue Oct 13 05:57:18 2020 Does this mean you guys will finally get on board for the underdog side bets? :D Options: • 3 points for correctly picking how many players will test positive this season • 3 points for correctly predicting when Belichick will die from COVID It might mess with the sanctity of the points system, but 3 points for a long-shot? That balances, right? ;D |

sam adams
rank | Thu Oct 15 15:47:30 2020 If i was on the failcons id get covid on purpose. There are some vikings that id like to play in fantasy though. |
Dukhat
rank | Fri Oct 16 07:01:52 2020 Belichick is too smart to die from Covid. It's Reid who's going to die from it with his stupid-fuck face shield bullshit. And Reid is actually way fatter than Belichick too. |
Cherub Cow
rank | Fri Oct 16 13:44:39 2020 True, Sam. It may only be Belichick's players who should be afraid of COVID ;D "Bill Belichick Locks Covid-Exposed Players In Room With Broken Glass Bottle, Single Dose Of Antibody Cocktail" [Onion, News in Brief; October 15th, 2020] http://spo...layers-in-room-with-1845375730 "At press time, Belichick had placed a hacksaw next to Cam Newton after chaining him to a radiator across the room from his medicine." |

renzo marQuez
rank | Mon Oct 19 23:27:08 2020 He's a great coach. Rare for the Belichick tree. |
sam adams
rank | Tue Oct 20 00:01:54 2020 Yep. Maybe because we was on the player side rather than the assistant side? |
renzo marQuez
rank | Tue Oct 20 00:12:24 2020 Could also be cuz he's the only one of the tree who went to THE Ohio State University. |
