NFL Noise:
- Dr. Anthony Fauci, the guy constantly rolling his eyes whenever Dr. President Trump speaks on COVID-19, says the only way professional sports will happen this summer is by holding events without fans in attendance and by keeping players in hotels.
- This would work at a place like Skydome, which has a hotel attached to the facility.
- One guy who likes this idea – Kirk Cousins.
- “Honestly, we practice every day in an empty grass area and pump in fake crowd noise for away games…So honestly to go out and just play the game would kind of be refreshing, a breath of fresh air, to just let us know that we don’t have to have all the smoke and the fire, we can just play football.”
- PFT, in their analysis, takes a very good dig at the Chargers when they point out:
- “[It] would create a very real advantage for teams like the Chargers, who have grown accustomed to performing before hostile crowds both on the road and at home.”
- Which, given a member of the office staff was just diagnosed with COVID-19, seems practical.
- “[It] would create a very real advantage for teams like the Chargers, who have grown accustomed to performing before hostile crowds both on the road and at home.”
- This comes on the heels of Trump trying to assemble
The Avengersa team of advisors from various sports leagues & organizations to look into restarting American sports leagues.- These include NBA commissioner Adam Silver, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman, MLB commissioner Rob Manfred and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, Patriots owner Robert Kraft, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, as well as WWE President & ardent Trump supporter Vince McMahon.
- Not coincidentally, his wife Linda is chairing the pro-Trump super PAC America First Action, who have committed to spend $18.5 million in Florida for the 2020 election cycle.
- Naturally, every jagoff on the planet had opinions.
- These include NBA commissioner Adam Silver, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman, MLB commissioner Rob Manfred and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, Patriots owner Robert Kraft, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, as well as WWE President & ardent Trump supporter Vince McMahon.
Are they going to be advised by Tim Donaghy, Pete Rose, Art Schlicter, Vince Russo, Bill Belichick and the ghosts of the 1919 Black Sox?

Finally, the reveal you’ve all been waiting for – the Browns have new jerseys!

- They decided to ditch the “modern” look they likely stole from Tampa Bay & instead went back to the old school look.
- But they are keeping the brighter orange that was introduced by the 2015-19 uniforms.

- A return of basic striping & the removal of words from the jerseys also enhance the elegant look of the simpler design.
- One slight modification is the rounded numbers, instead of hard-blocked edges.
- Honestly, it reminds me of the Brian Sipe-era Browns I grew up watching & admiring.

To further wet your whistle, the Browns put together an enjoyable video outlining their jerseys over the years. Not surprisingly, despite being a one-minute video, it goes heavy on the Jim Brown & omits most of the last 20 years.
