Remember the movie the Replacements
Gene Hackman, Keanu Reeves.....We may get a version of it come Fall.
https://www.theguardian.com/sport/20...virus-deadline.
quote:A total of 66 players have opted out of the 2020 NFL season due to the coronavirus pandemic, nearly half of them linemen.
Twenty offensive linemen and 11 on defense opted out before Thursday’s deadline. Players with a medical opt out will receive a $350,000 stipend, whole those voluntarily opting out receive $150,000 as an advance against future salaries.

I’m guessing that either Covid 19 and steroids don’t mix.
Or... Testing for Covid 19 and steroids don’t mix .

Any starters, or big name players? I'm guessing that the pressure on the stars to play is immense. Will Goodell allow any results of positive tests to be released? Our state, Pa, is ready to lynch the gov. since he had the balls to recommend that all school sports be suspended until Jan.
