atlbillsfan1975 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 (edited) I am for postponing the ceremony. Allows the inductees to have people there to be a part of the event. The game is pointless, worst preseason game and in particular this year with little organized time together for the teams mean it would be even more sloppy.

machine gun kelly Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 It’s the smart move to cancel a wasted game anyway. I feel for the HOF inductees as it has to be a lifelong dream for them, and to not have you’re family and friends be there stinks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted June 25, 2020 Author Share Posted June 25, 2020 It definitely makes sense to get rid of the game which typically looks like a scrimmage. The teams will barely be ready for the regular season this year let alone a game like a week into TC. I’m wondering if they will induct a 2021 class as well next year or just the 2020 class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are any of the nominees old enough that a year might make a difference in them? Real interesting anniversary year corresponding with virus year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 First domino to fall. Maybe they'll move the ceremony to Super Bowl week, assuming there is a SB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg S Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 No surprise here at all. I feel bad for the 2020 HOF class as that is always a special day for the inductees but it's obvious the ceremony wasn't happening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 (edited) I guess they could have done it virtually like the draft. I mean tv revenue right? as far as the game, yeah typically aweful. if I were either team and it was still on, I’d only travel the bottom 40 of the roster and then quarantine them for two weeks.

Mark Vader Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 If training camps start by July 28th, as it's being projected, then I would think the preseason would be cut in half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be scrapped for good I agree, at least make it the team's first pre-season game. The fact that the Hall of Fame game is a 5th pre-season game for some teams is ludicrous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paup 1995MVP Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Nascar keeps rolling. They had 5,000 fans at Talladega on Monday for an amazing race. Hopefully by mid summer the tracks are at least allowed to be half full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theRalph Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 (edited) Everyone is missing the point here....with talk that it's a meaningless game. The real meaning is that A GAME HAS BEEN CANCELLED. It has little to do with its importance, but everything to do with crowds or even football players assembling in close quarters. This is the beginning that will evolve into no season at all. Of course, just when the Bills were ready to assume some control. Edited June 25, 2020 by theRalph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the beginning that will evolve into no season at all. Of course, just when the Bills were ready to assume some control. Most people I’ve talked to and media I’ve listened to feel the opposite. Seems like the league doesn’t want any teams to have to report a week early and this allows the Steelers and cowboys to report the same day as everyone else. in addition to that these are two big name teams with national fan bases who would no doubt be coming in from around the country to party, etc. that’s a recipe for disaster. The report of the owners meeting today to hash out any loose ends and optimistic that the NFL will play it’s full reg season schedule adds more credence to that. They can cancel whatever they went until the reg season starts but that is where the money is and that is where the games will be played. Until regular season games are cancelled, I don’t think it’s a bad omen. sidenote, this really sucks for Canton, OH. They are losing so much income they depend on from that HOF weekend. Also if you’ve never been to the Pro Football HOF it’s worth the trip especially if you can drive it. Edited June 25, 2020 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only good thing to come out of Nascar that I can think of is Talladega Nights ? I was never a big Nascar fan before this year. I knew who most of the drivers were, but never gave it much attention over the years. Usually would watch Daytona and then my interest would flame out by week 2. But I stuck w it this year, and have not missed a race. (With the virus there is not a lot else to do on the weekends) And I find it absolutely fascinating how intense and exciting each race is. The passion of everyone involved is off the charts. The fans just go bonkers for their drivers. It is really cool. And then when you watch specials on the history of drivers past like Davey Allison, the Dale Earnhardt vs Jeff Gordon rivalry in the early 90's, Michael Waltrip, etc it is really awesome. (I am a big fan of historical shows on Sports-The NHL Network has had some great shows on the Gretzky led Oilers, the Red Wings and Joe Louis Arena, the 94 Rangers, the 100 years of the NHL, etc over the past few months) You should give it a try and join Nascar nation. It is far more entertaining then any sport I have watched and followed beside NFL and College football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
