The NFL Today

 

It will be interesting this season to see how

pro-football will play out. Given the Coronavirus

pandemic football stadiums across the country

will effectively be empty of riotous cheering

fans. I do, however, hope the players on both

teams will take a knee in protest as the National

Anthem plays.

There will be no parking lots filled with pregame

tailgate parties, no throngs of fans wearing team

colored and branded clothing crammed into the

stands.

My team, the 2019 Super Bowl Champion, Kansas

City Chiefs, for years now have been touted as

having the loudest decibel cheering of stadium

fans across the entire NFL franchise.

I am sure the teams will miss that extra rush of

adrenaline during those critical and tense moments

of the game when the fans generally go wild.

Oh, I suppose the players will play their game,

the die-hard fans will watch on TV seeing re-

runs of great catches, fantastic runs and busted

plays.

Extra beer will be on hand in households across

the land. I may even hear the drunken neighbors

cheering obnoxiously from the apartment next

door.

And I, a non-drinker these days, will be hoping they

go over to friends and watch the Monday Night

Football Games. I often retire around 10 PM for those.

In any case, I can hardly wait for the day Covid-19

Virus and the Trump plague go away. From a distance,

I can hear the uproarious cheering now.
