They are scheduled to play spring football as part of the Southwestern Athletic Conference.

One Less Early Game


The NFL allows the broadcast networks to tweak the starting times of games on Sunday.

The Pats were scheduled to host the Broncos on October 11th for a 1pm game which will now start at 4:25pm.

Fans love early games, but the networks want to showcase Cam Newton because he is so exciting to watch.

Old & Young Stars


Sunday Night Football was a classic quarterback matchup between the Packers with Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees of the Saints.

The Packers prevailed 37-30 in a very tight game. They have been legends throughout their career, but are nearing the end.

Monday Night Football featured two of the games youngest stars with Patrick MaHomes of the Chiefs and Lamar Odem of the Ravens.

The future is so bright for both of them.

Expensive Injury


The ACL injury to Giants RB Saquon Barkley not only cost him the season, but also a lot of potential money.

There was talk of a four year extension worth $70 million, but that will now wait. The team will need to decide whether to exercise his fully-guaranteed fifth year option for 20222.

Many players have come back from from ACL surgery and had very productive careers. Each case is different, but this injury cost him money.

Bowling For Few


The pandemic has raised havoc for the college bowl game schedule. It looks like many of the games won't be played. Conferences who are playing will have opportunities for their teams.

We will probably see teams with losing records because they will be the only ones available.

The ticket sales will be poor or non-existent, but the games are made for television.

Cam Can Run


Pats fans are watching something special with QB Cam Newton. He holds so many NFL records when it comes to running the ball as a quarterback.

He has the most career carries with 960 over Michael Vick's 873. Russell Wilson is the only active player who has a chance to match them with 723. Let's see what Lamar Jackson does. He is such a special player.

In Sunday's game against the Raiders, Cam will have the opportunity to break the tie with Randall Cunningham for second place in career QB rushing yards at 4,928. Michael Vick leads with 6,109.

His 62 career rushing TD's puts him ahead of every quarterback.

Gronk 2020


Rob Gronkowski will earn $9.25 million in Tampa Bay no matter how the season ends. They have Tom Brady, but does that make a difference?

Gronk had two catches for 11 yards in the opener. He didn't do anything against the Panthers in Week Two.

Does it really matter at tis point? There are so many things to consider.

Cam Time Game 3


Pats QB Cam Newton is projecting a positive message for his own play and the team.

Things have worked out well after two games.

It's a long season, but he is doing his best to be liked by the fans.

He is very exciting to watch.

Need More Than Five Gmes


UMass hopes to play this season with a 3-5 game schedule and opponents to be named.

Will they play five games this season? Nobody really knows.

UMass Football Season 2.0


UMass plans to play football this season starting in mid-October. As an Independent, they will try to find teams looking for opponents.

It won't be easy at this point, but things are very fluid.

How many games will they play? Nobody can say for certain.

I hope it works out.

Dangerous Place To Play


The lack of preseason games and limited contact practices showed its impact today with a rash of big injuries.

Giants RB Saquon Barley and 49er's DE Nick Bosa were lost for the season with ACL injures. QB Jimmy Garoppolo suffered a high ankle sprain and will miss time.

Players from the 49er's complained about the playing surface at MetLife Stadium where the injuries occurred in their game against the Jets. They will return there next week to play the Giants.

The game is dangerous enough without playing surfaces causing injuries.

Week Two 2020


It's pretty crazy to think that there will be no Seattle fans in the stadium when the Pats play them on Sunday Night Football.

So many great stories could be written. There is a big concern of the smoke from the wild fires creating a health issue.

The NFL will go to great extremes to play this game.
