Are suggesting that Goodall made unilateral decicions, without consulting medical experts on procedures, protocols, and possible ramifications?This just in - Roger Goodell is not a Doctor, and we need at least (45?) players active on a game day.
I am a perpetual optimist. But this is a bit arrogant, over confident, and borderline ignorant.
Goodell may not be stupid, but he has shown he is willing to be reckless with players safety.Are suggesting that Goodall made unilateral decicions, without consulting medical experts on procedures, protocols, and possible ramifications?
That's would be a ridiculous assumption.
There are a lot of things, about which, I don't agree with him, but he has never seemed reckless or stupid.
I certainly don't trust the sensationalized media hype of the overall situation.
The commissioner saying all issues resolved for the league to have a full schedule tells me one thing.
ALL ISSUES HAVE NOT BEEN RESOLVED TO HAVE A FULL SEASON!
Darnit man, the NFL's blaring overconfidence in this situation has been distressing. I really thought that with them having months to prepare ahead as opposed to the leagues that were in progress the NFL would be more ready to go. But word is that they were actually pretty unprepared, and somebody acting like they've figured EVERYTHING out now after that news is actually discouraging. Maybe it's just semantics, but I would sure feel a lot better if they acknowledged that there were things at this juncture that they'll probably have to adjust to and figure out. I don't want to entertain the thought that these guys really think whatever they've planned right now won't have some kind of hiccup or some kind of adjustment needed.
"We have worked collaboratively to develop a comprehensive set of protocols designed to minimize risk for fans, players, and club and league personnel. These plans have been guided by the medical directors of the NFL and the NFLPA and have been reviewed and endorsed by independent medical and public health experts, including the CDC, and many state and local public health officials.Goodell may not be stupid, but he has shown he is willing to be reckless with players safety.
The owners do pay Goodell nearly $50 million per year and he clearly puts the billionaires roi over players health.
He covered up the significance, frequency and that football causes of CTE. Goodell and his bosses didn't start to address players safety seriously until the courts ruled against the league and the NFL was coming under tremendous pressure as their behavior became public.
Roger Goodell is a liar, CTE research leader says
“In the big picture, this is nothing more than a ‘Big Tobacco, sowing a seed of doubt’ game plan," CTE researcher Chris Nowinski says.www.sportingnews.com
This is what I got from it too, and it makes sense.I believe he was saying all issues resolved between the owners and player union. I doubt he was talking about covid being resolved or any health issues. The players union wanted some concessions met before signing off on trying to have a a season and he was just saying the two sides have made the needed agreements.
Exactly. Everyone of course is free to their opinion but WOW has 2020 divided many. From some of the reactions, you would think I posted this on a Pats fan forum. I would think the one thing we can agree on is we want Dolphin football. Even that, seems to cause derision to a certain extent.Have to agree with you on this one. It's almost as if some ppl are rooting against having a season at all.
I, for one, was happy they were able to come to an agreement to get the guys into camp and get this dynasty started.
Are there valid concerns? Sure, but it appears that the NFL has taken precautions, and instituted protocols to mitigate risks to the greatest possible degree.
LET THE GAMES BEGIN........

Well, anyone that isn't excited can take a bath with a toaster for all I care. I'm quite myopic on wanting my Dolphins football no mater what.
ALLLRIGHT MIAMI!
Well that's going to be 85% of them this year. Nothing you can do about it sadly. I know there are some bans on going political so I'm not going to. But with that said, I fear for anyone in my personal world that wants to evaluate my love for this country and level of patriotism because I do or don't watch NFL football. It's my entertainment and I would rather politics stay out of sports in general. Sports is an escape. Not a place to learn what a bunch of millionaires paid to play a game think. It is immaterial whether I agree or not. Just keep it out.It's all good until somebody takes a knee...
