    I'm going to watch, so far no Steelers have taken to sitting out in fear and damn it, I need something to watch.

    1 week to opening day, and then Tyson exhibition fight which I will wtch, then ooeming Sunday followed by Monday night football double header.

    I want normalcy again, moght tske death by alcohol to get there, but if heaven is eternal bliss I'm gonna find it eventually...

    I haven't even followed contigencies etc.

    Don't care really, but are they going to postpone games if someone tests positive or even worse cancel?

    I don't know, I'd rather have Biden sing the National Anthem every game live than understand the contingencies set in place....

    I have a fantasy football league I have been doing every year for the last 10 with my old friends from high school. I will watch as long as it on if only to keep that tradition alive.

    I just want to reiterate my position. Fantasy football is not the way the game was meant to be consumed. For those that complain about QB's not being allowed to be hit, or receivers not being jammed. That is the fault of fantasy football, and just because you win a fantasy league does not mean you could be an NFL GM. Rant over, good luck this season all.

    The reason QBs can’t be hit anymore is the most polarizing highest paid players were getting knocked out on dirty hits and and changing the landscape of the league. Had nothing to do with fantasy if your qb gets hurt you just pick up another one. The league wants the best qbs healthy because that’s good for ratings regardless of fantasy. Saying it’s not the way it was meant to be consumed is also silly. They want it consumed every which way possible. I do agree about being a gm though.

    There is a division between people on what the right course of action is. I see and understand both sides of it and that is the reason why I am continuing to watch.

    I 100% respect the decision of people not wanting to watch due to the politics involved.

    I was a soccer goalie all through jr and high school. Worked at a high school that had a boys and girls soccer team no foot ball.

    The NFL will lose me if they keep forcing the social issues theme on my TV this year. I just want football but I’m afraid we are about to be flooded with a lot of non football talk before, during and after games.

    Sota, As far as fantasy football is concerned. I’ve done it since 1989 and it hasn’t turned my football brain to mush. I enjoy it.

    When I win my league I won’t think I could be a NFL GM. Hell....I’m already an owner!

    My team name this year is My Couch Also Pulls Out!

    Go Pack Go!

    I don't know if you guys are following what is going on in Tampa, but they are building a silly roster. NFC South is going to be bonkers. Saints are still favored, but the Bucs just picked up Fournette and Shipley. On top of everybody else. McAfee is calling Tampa Bay the Tompa A.J, Gronkaneers.
