Cam Newton test positive for COVID. Out tomorrow vs KC.

[CatTower]

Going to be real here.  If your quaterback is one of the first players to get a virus that can only be transmitted when being careless, he probably isn't the greatest guy to be leading your team.

Correct. A PS player on KC has it as well.

What will be interesting is if they have to add games at the end of the season. Some Playoff teams will get much more rest than other teams that might have to do makeups then right to Playoffs. It's going to be a wild ride. As it was in the NHL, NBA, and MLB.

Well, that isn’t an accurate statement.  Being careless certainly puts you at higher risk.   

Many people have gotten covid while doing everything they could to stay safe.

You don't know how Cam got Coronavirus.

I doubt he was walking around without a mask like your President though.

They dont even have to do all that. They can mandate that players and personnel stay at team facilitaties in each respective city, ensure that all contact with the outside world is only as needed and adhering to strict guidelines. From pilots to bus drivers, kitchen staff, security, refs--everyone!

what team facility? sleeping on the floor?  does the team own hotels i don't know about?  or set up meeting rooms like disaster shelters with people sleeping in bunks right next to each other?  i don't know if you've thought this through

Not for nothing. Bro has his mask under his nose or on his chin too often.

About as athletic as you could hope to be in this circumstance so hopefully it's no big deal. Knock it out, Cam.

 

Mask don’t help you they just protect others...stuff gets absorbed through the eye balls too!

Cam is the poster child of someone who won’t be badly affected by Covid, a young high performance athletic vegan.

The Game is listed as TBD, i'm assuming they aren't gonna play it?

They can't just mandate that without NFLPA approval.

At very minimum the NFLPA would likely require reopening the opt out window for players.

Oh, I know. Both sides should be willing to sacrifice to get the season done (and all that money in.hands)!

Cam has been all business up there. I doubt he’ll end up being the only one.
