loveorhatembillsfan4life Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Well I could swear I was listening to Pat Mcafee this afternoon who broke some news passed to him that he had passed. This doesn't seem to be the case so best wishes to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understood stuff like canceling practice after Bridgewater's injury which had the other players pretty traumatized. But wouldn't there normally be more of a "show must go on" theme? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the above post before yours is accurate and the coach passed, so cancelling makes sense, that would be the civilized response.
