Call_Of_Ktulu Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I can already see all the online FFL drafts. Stop the draft he has Covid, stop the draft that guy just opted out, stop the draft that guy had Covid and now can't play this year because of side affects.

I can see that coming Would make sense for him to get out of Gase’s sphere of influence... maybe the jets suck and fire Gase and he can try to re-set with the new guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will not knock them for this choice. It has to be a super hard choice essentially they are putting their earning capability for the year on hold for their health and familis health. To a lesser extend I have had to make a similar type decision on to put my children back into F2F school vs virtual and the agony and research and family discussions for that choice, and the kids are still learning. So I can imagine the agony on earning 100s thousands and Millions on hold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we chose virtual but there’s also huge talk of delaying opening until after Labor Day as our cases in county is skyrocketing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our County offered a F2F and Virtual here in FL. WE chose Virtual, now the county next to us (Orange, Orlando) is delaying start of school and Virtual only because of our case explosion.

I know that Diggs has mentioned it also in the past, I guess we will watch and see what happens with the league and players this year. They really should reset to the NBA Bubble Model.

I don't think it'll be the ones we've seen working on social media and stuff, most likely the ones we haven't heard much from. Micah Hyde I'm a little worried about.
