Anyone else find it very, very peculiar that after two weeks of NFL there has not been one single...

Seems statistically near-zero possibility

It’s impossible. It’s like saying no NFL player right now has a common cold. There’s no way.

It's actually a great point. Players were testing + a lot before the season.

The NFL is king, we have been trying to say this for years as fans

There’s a decent chance they just don’t announce their positives. Eg Ryquell

I wouldn’t be surprised if they have tests that are less sensitive

Yep. I bet anyone with a positive PCR is told to take the rapid antigen test that’s less sensitive, and if that comes

That’s interesting. If that’s what the NFL is doing, Goodell and crew are geniuses. The whole of society would be so

The entire country should switch to antigen tests. The PCR tests are way too...

Seems to point to it definitely being controlled. There should’ve been even a false positive or something.

There have been false positives

Since the season started?

Ah good point. Not that I’ve heard of

Just need BYU to copy whatever it is they are doing

Mr. Scoobs

Amen to that. Think Goodell will take Holmoe’s call? 😂

Many purposely got it in the summer is my guess. This happened with many college

Can't the same be said about the MLB?

Hinta

9/21/20 10:21pm

They've had positive tests, and canceled games.

Yeah, the Cardinals didn't play for like three weeks because of COVID cases on the team. They've been playing double

It's because they wear masks while playing.

Duh. How did I miss that?! 🤦‍♂️ What’s funny is that my son (8) has a cold and cough... and no one follows the rules

So this is what society comes to? We can’t handle the truth anymore?

I posted about this last week.

Sorry I missed it... assumed it wasn’t an original idea on the board. Just baffles me.

46in96

9/21/20 10:33pm

No need to be sorry. Even more fascinating after week 2.

TADOW

9/21/20 10:39pm

What really blows my mind is that the media is ignoring it completely. They’ll report zero positives. Then immediately

46in96

9/21/20 10:42pm

Same here. Statistically its impossible.

The NFL is showing the other leagues how to run a professional sports league

USMCdad

The NFL won’t have any reported Covid positives the whole season. Because they

scorpiondynamo

9/21/20 11:33pm

Probably because they know that people view sports as a release from COVID, real

There are a handful of countries this is also seen.

The Cardinals placed a player on the Covid reserve list the other day

Good for them for not reporting them!

Fervent Cougar

9/22/20 8:07am

Right. But they aren’t just NOT talking about it. They are telling the media “zero positive tests”. Not disclosing is

46in96

9/22/20 8:08am

Are they saying “zero positive tests”? I honestly haven’t been paying attention

PHXSUNS31

9/22/20 8:35am

I found this article reporting positives

PHXSUNS31

9/22/20 8:43am

Good find. Odd that ESPN keeps going on air with “zero positives”.

46in96

9/22/20 9:02am

Yes... just the other morning ESPN / Sportscenter reported zero positives in latest round of testing.
