Dont'a Hightower and 4 other Patriots opt out of 2020 season
https://www.tmz.com/2020/07/27/nfl-p...ytZNH04RUDIiaM
Dont'a Hightower -- a 3-time Super Bowl champion and one of the leaders of the Patriots' defense -- has also chosen to sit out this season. Hightower, according to NFL Network's Michael Giardi, just had a baby this month ... and his mom also has type 2 diabetes. "Me and my fiancée are just more concerned with the health of our family than football," Hightower said in a statement to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, "especially the new addition to our family." The opt-out is a big blow for the Pats, Hightower recorded 71 tackles and 5.5 sacks for New England last season ... but he's also now one of FIVE Patriots choosing to forego the season. Pats running back Brandon Bolden and offensive linemen Najee Toran and Marcus Cannon have also joined Hightower and fullback Danny Vitale in sitting out 2020. There could be more on the way as well ... players still have until the end of this week to make opt-out decisions. |

Terez and Charles Robinson talked about the bubble stuff on their podcast today.
They figured and I'm guessing they heard from some of the NFL people, that for the NFL to bubble like the NBA has done, it would have cost them atleast a billion dollars. Billion with a B. |

Gonna laugh when the Bills come back down to reality, causing Belicheat's glorious plan to backfire when the Patriots win the division anyway.
He can either trade his entire draft plus picks next year for one of the three QBs or he can suck shit with Cam Newton and Jarrett Stidham for the rest of his career. Just like he said he would. |

Athletes have it the easiest of everyone to not get infected. Tons of money and franchises spending more to keep you isolated. Outside of people that have family members or themselves with issues, no one should be opting out. An example is this shooting at the huge house party of the NFL player. They are dumb and compromising their own future and others from this shit. You would think they wouldn't throw big house parties without masks, cut down on big parties or going out. No to groupies and thots. Guess that is a mirror of our nation, because most of the country is doing it as well. |

That being said, I hope you're right. I don't want to watch B league football. |
