Patriot starters opt out


Jul 28, 2020, 11:03 PM

Several New England Patriot players have opted out of playing this season including some starters. Just the beginning and it will filter down to colleges. If football is played, I am afraid it will not be the game we love.

It will not be the same, I agree. My fear is only a few teams will "try", those with legit chances to win a title. This is true of all team sports. The Red Sox have played 5 games and already mailed it in. What's going to happen when NFL teams start 0-2? They may crown champions, but unless it's golf they are all going to have a pseudo-asterik beside them

Even Golf will be weird. Only 1 major will have been played when they crown a Tour/FedEx Cup Champion this year. It's going to be like crowning a Heisman winner before the playoffs.

Open Championship cancelled, U.S. Open 2 weeks after the Tour Championship, and Masters in November.

It has made some of the smaller tournaments have some stacked fields that we haven't seen in the past which is cool, but it's still weird.

If I had a few million in the bank I would consider the same thing until more is known about the risks (if any) of playing. Looks like i'll be playing more Sunday Golf.

Good. I bet on the Bills to win their division.

Maybe the start of several teams 'tanking' in their race to the #1 draft pick?

Hilarious if we see a blatant race to the cellar from a bunch of teams. Hardly worth watching a farce of a season.

Sounds like they’re tanking for Lawrence.
