No dates set yet and no minicamps expected, but the NFL and NFLPA are discussing the possibility of certain players -- such as rookies, and veterans who changed teams and need physicals -- returning to club facilities on a limited basis before June 26, per sources.

I think the NFL has handled this pretty well, allowing people to return in different stages and not forcing the process too quickly.

Very encouraging news of a full season and possibilities of having fans in the stands. Although the tailgating experience may be lacking that normal Sunday attendence as fans still try to social distance. 

Stay strong my BB brothers and sisters. This season will have more healing power than we can imagine. Been a rough year.

But I think they went about everything the right way while staying safe and didn't panic and cancel everything like others.



Will heal us tons, cannot wait for football man.

My only concern is the kneeling at the Anthem.  I just see that stirring up more negativity, and I wish there was another way there could be silent protest.

Now people who are symptomatic just need to stay home and not infect others.  It's not a cure-all as some rare occurrences will happen with the asymptomatic folks.

But there's no reason there can't be some normalcy for the season, that includes tailgating.

Sports ought to be a refuge from the madness.  Now that extreme violence and looting has devastated communities all across the nation, especially major sports cities such as LA, SF, Oakland, Seattle, Chicago, MPLS and New York, we need a lot more sports and a lot less politics.

The pro sports leagues are all about entertainment and we need entertainment after Wuhan and the riots. Those two events have cost us our jobs or endless worries about losing our jobs or seeing our incomes cut or losing loved ones to Wuhan and then not being able to arrange proper burials.  I hope the leagues see the opportunity to do some good for people and get on with their shows.

In the Dayton hospitals and surrounding area there have been 14 confirmed Covid-19 cases in the Dayton area during this whole"pandemic". 14!!! This nation needs to quit letting the main stream media control their fears. No more media flu!!!  Play ball!!!
